...I was just watching the Crocodile Hunter with my son. What do his fellow countryfolk think of this cat? I think he's off his nut!

Yes, every Australian hates him.
Nobody here even knew who the hell he was until recently, when we heard Americans were going crazy over him.

IDIOT------------"crikey she's a fiesty lil beaut' almost nipped me on the tip of me nose"--one of those things needs to get him right in the jugular!

Swass · Guest

LOL! I had a feeling he wasn't too popular back home. Kinda like drinking Fosters?

Josh, what about Crocadile Dundee??? Laughing

j/k....

BTW, Fosters in America is really different from what we have over here.

Fosters is horrible, the Crock hunter is god awful.... Are these really our Australian Icons? Wink

Bring back Albie Mangle!

Dragonlady8 · Guest

CM~ unfortunately that's the impression that is given to the USA.
But you also have the 'Roos and Koalas, Tasmanian Devil and another shrimp on the Barbie.....
I hear DB brown and red isn't too bad or is that that other island???
Many apologies if it is Shocked

What's Albie Mangle

Where the hell did that shrimp thing come from?

I had to go to America to find out what a shrimp was...

Dragonlady8 · Guest

It was a commercial to promote tourism for Australia. Crocodile Dundee guy was the one who made that comment.
"We'll put another shrimp on the Barbie for ya..." something like that.

I prefer Abalone on the Barby, with garlic butter! MMMMMMMM

Shrimp are prawns aren't they? I could be wrong...

Dragonlady8 · Guest

CM- Yeah they're like shrimp on 'roids Laughing

Abalone!!!! I miss that stuff. Can't get that stuff nowadays here in the states without it costing all your limbs. There's been a 15yr moratorium along the California Coast from Monterey to San Diego banning any Abalone harvesting Crying or Very sad

so they can replenish.

I hate poachers!

Really? That sucks. We drive 2 minues down the road, Stu puts on his dive gear and brings us up a bounty!

Feasted out on crayfish, abalone, mudcrabs etc all Easter Very Happy

love the abalone! yes sir And that croc hunter wat a tosser so full of crap it's not funny

For something a little different, try abs in sweet and sour sauce. Or mashed and made into patties.

The best Aussie beer has to be Boags Premium. Not just because it comes from Tassie, but it tastes bloody good.

As for the Croc Hunter - bring back the Leyland Brothers!!!

criminally_minded · Posted: May 11, 2003 10:17 pm Post subject:

Brad, your joking! Boags Premium tastes like soap!

Now Boags Draught, THAT is a beer of kings!

You can tell you're a northerner, Cascade is Mad

Boags is

As you age, your taste refine. Plus I now have a job where I can actually afford the stuff.

So where is your port of call?

BlindsideBrad · Posted: May 11, 2003 10:54 pm Post subject:

Yeah, but I bet you don't always have a ready supply in the fridge.

I am a Lonnie local, but I actually learnt to ride at New Norfolk, and have done a heap of wake surfing behind my 'Cruiser along the East Coast beaches. Most of my riding is done at the dam or out at Longford, with the occasional trip to Barrington.

Got 12 chillin' for me at home as we speak! Very Happy

We will have to organise some sort of Tassie wakeboarding weekend. If you read WAKE mag you might have seen our slider and kicker in one of the last issues (Either Watkins or O'Shea cover, I forget), located at the Swan, and we are keen to get some footage of local riders using them.

yeh i saw that issue cm, i got the new issue today in the mail, free stubbie holder and free vid (gotta pay 5$ for post&handling tho) its got the depth charge and something else on it, sounds alright aye.
boags is pretty decent beer too

Phantom DB brown and Lion Red are from NZ where they make real beer. I think Steve Irwin is a fair dimkum one top ausy. Most people don't realise most of the vast money he makes goes into setting up nature reserves and protecting endangered animals. He is a top bloke I would be totally proud if he was a kiwi.

criminally_minded · Posted: May 12, 2003 2:16 am Post subject:

His work with endangered species is great! He is just putting it all on a bit for the American audience. Remember, nobody here even knew who the hell he was until his movie came out...

Nick: I didn't get any stubbie holder!

BlindsideBrad · Posted: May 12, 2003 2:39 am Post subject:

Ralph, I suppose it is only fair if we give you Steve Irwin. we claim most of you celebs as ours anyway - Split Enz, Russel, etc. I think Steve is a fair trade.....
As for being a top environmentalist, he is way up there, but as a true Aussie, ZI think we can do a bit better.

I do have to agree that DB is a great drop

Nick, Boags is heaps better than XXXX Razz

CM, Sounds like a plan Idea

. Who knows, we could even end up with a Tasmania comp or something really rediculous like that.
What do you need the stubbie holder for. Coronas don't fit cause they are too skinny........... Very Happy

Dragonlady8 · Guest

Nasty beer from NZ - Steinlager Shocked

I don't drink but it sure does taste nasty.....VERY carbonated.
There was this other beer that was suppose have a "sweet" taste. Blue girl??
I was theatened to drink or wear it......which neither on happened.
Don't like the taste of Alcohol, especially beer. Neutral

BlindsideBrad · Posted: May 12, 2003 10:37 pm Post subject:

Or just go to www.yahoo.com and search for Steve Irwin, but in au only. That's if you really do give a shizzle.............

nick e[V]ans · Posted: May 13, 2003 1:33 am Post subject:

haha i reckon austrians would be austries, and augustians would be auggies, we got the jump on the whole aussies name.

i have to admit i had heard of the croc hunter before his movie, like way before his movie, i knew of him bout 10 years ago maybe.

cm i got the stubbie holder in the middle of the mag, it must be a subscriber only deal Wink

bb dont you go knocking my local beer, theres nothing wrong with chuggin a few goldies or bitters.
