They done pretty well against the natives of Tasmania

That was the Poms. August is right, we've never been in a war on without anyone else dragging us into it. Doesn't look like either of us will win the one we are in at the moment either.

War? No, Americans and Australians could never go to war against each other. It'd be like shooting at our own selves.

It's a little ironic that you Aussies consider us to be full of crap when that's pretty much the same stereotype we have here about you.

Nuttin' but love for ya though bros!

[krashkart]

Cheers to that, August.



Anyone hungry?

I think it works because we're both children of the British Empire, and we both have a big enough sense of humor to see ourselves as full of crap as well.

As Paul Hogan once said: "You and we are exactly the same. You lot just got out ahead of the boat!"

Yep or in the immortal words of the great American bard John Winger:

"We're all very different people. We're not Watusi. We're not Spartans. We're Americans, with a capital 'A', huh? You know what that means? Do ya? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We're the underdog. We're mutts! Here's proof: his nose is cold! But there's no animal that's more faithful, that's more loyal, more loveable than the mutt."

*sniffle* That's America by golly.

One of my all-time favorite lines. Wasn't so fond of the movie overall, but that line made it for me.

Shhh! Don't let them see this then eh?

@August, Steve and the other yanks. Cheers fellas, if any of you are down under gimme a call and I'll shout you a schooner in the rubbity dub. If we couldn't take the p!ss out of one another we couldn't fight wars against every other bugger out there.

Yep, the good old British Empire....it used to be the case that the sun never set on it but nowadays it stretches less than 60 miles across... Newcastle (east coast) to Carlisle (west coast)
