Nah, bandicoots are very shy and gentle, very nice to have around. When the neighbours frickin dogs and cats don't get em. Which reminds me, might be time to set the traps again.

possum's are pretty shy also. They actually are not too nasty (even though they have a HUGE mouth, full of nasty looking teeth). Possums are the funniest of things. A friend had his lab over last spring. The lab flushed out a possum (first I had EVERY seen here in town, but I know they are around), and was mauling the hell out of the critter (big fat possum, about 15 pounds or so). Possum was all wet with dog slobber, looked torn up, and DOA. Well, at least the dog thought so, and after a minute or so, simply gave up and found something else to do. Bout 2 minutes later, mr possum, simply rolled over back to its legs and ambled off. Probably not too much worse for the wear.

Husker, perhaps needless to say, but ol Blanik is overdoing it a little. We don't actually speak like that full on, just little bits here and there.

Or to put it another way, I think he might be stirring the possum a little bit. Ain't ya, B? :wink:

I have two theories:

1. You were liquored when you wrote the first one :lol: or
2. Someone has your password.

Suggestions on how to solve the problem:

1. Tie your hands behind your back while drinking. ;)
2. Change your password.

:D

Australia as the 51st state? No way, you wouldn't put up with the crap we put up with. On the other hand, you do have more gun controls than we do so who knows?

How about if Texas secedes and then Australia and Texas form a new nation? That has some pretty interesting possibilities... :shock: Just imagine the political conventions, those would be some fun times.

The mix of slangs could lead to some interesting phrases too. "I'm fixin to dance like a bandicoot on a burnt ridge" "He is a sqaure shooter and than's fair dinkum mate, he ain't big hat and no cattle" "Hell boys it's rainin a regulation turd floater, time to get stonkered"

Sure, but only if y'all come here. You ain't got the space to fit us in, but we can handle lil' ol' Texas real easy like.

(Am I getting a handle on your lingo?)

Also, we are gonna have to sort out which spelling system to use.

But I am NOT going to give up metric. No sirree, Bob.

Damn it. My glass must have a hole in it. It's empty again. Better grab the bottle just in case.

This site needs a shit-faced, rolling-in-the-gutter, couldn't-give-a-f**k, drunk smiley. Just in case you can't tell.

Now where did I leave my pants?

Do you have a good roo chili recipe? Your handle on our lingo is better than mine on yourn. Spelling doesn't matter - pick one and abuse it at will :lol:

Metric system though, that's a tough nut - I would hate to give up inches. Saying 10 inches sure sounds better than 10 centimeters..... :wink:

Sure, but being in Texas, it'll sound a lot like my recipe for 'Roast Tiger'.

The Tiger is my favourite recipe and i find myself applying it to most of my life and my relationship with the world.

Goes somethin like this....

Recpie For Roast Tiger



First,

catch your Tiger.......

Of course in your case it'll be ...First catch your roo.... :wink:

Chilli Galah

First shoot your galah and pluck and clean it.

Then take 5 habenero chillis
1 large onion, diced
salt & pepper
1 gallon water
1 large rock

Put everything in a pot and boil until the rock is soft.
Throw out the galah and eat the rock

My recipe for Chilli Galah is a little different. We use an axe head instead of a rock. Takes a little longer, but the extra wait is worth it.

Ever heard that (historically genuine) line complaining about the American servicemen who came to Oz for R&R during WW2?

We have a similar recipe for cooking carp. Put fresh carp filet on a cedar board and smoke in the smoker for 2 hours - throw away the carp and eat the board.

As to girls preferring metric lovers, I can't answer as the girls over here understand metric even less than I do - they tend to believe anythying you tell them anyway, which is pretty handy
