Almost at 2000 posts in < 3 months! Ask me anything!

[Random_Australian]

C'mon, hit me with your best shot! ;)

:headbang: :headbang::headbang:

[ZombieNixon]

1. Do you have a life?

:P

[Random_Australian]

3. Strangely enough, YES! I do. Weird huh?

[ZombieNixon]

5. OMHG!!!

My entire world has been turned upside down! :crazy:

[Random_Australian]

6. meh. I've got such a high postcount from getting into

massive flamewars with certain people who shall remain nameless in a forum that shall not be identified. ;)

[LSK]

2. why so few?

:shrug:

[Random_Australian]

4. smilies? months? posts? what are you talking about?

[LSK]

19. uhhhh, so few potato chips

Im hungry dammit! :D

[Random_Australian]

23. Because big Pharma took them all. Think about it,

Big Potato Herking Assulting Removing, Most Afternoons.
Big P H A R M A.
Do you believe me now?

[graywarrior]

7. Why did I think you had 4000 posts when you ONLY HAVE 2000

in three months?

[Random_Australian]

10. Hey! It is still wa-aa-aa-aa-ay above average. Esp. since I

posted <100 in my first month.

Anyway, you thought that because you have been brainwashed by the aliens we atheists have under our command to think that. Atheism- plotting world domination, slavery of all free peoples, and a bit of afternoon tea on the lawns.....

[graywarrior]

12. Indeed, 2000 is very impressive.

But I think the aliens helped you.

[Random_Australian]

21. They didn't. The spam filter axed me once though. Me type quick!

Our doombringer robots might have filled in. You can tell because all I wrote at the time was 'Exterminate..... EXtermina-aa-aa-aaaa-aa-ate!'

[graywarrior]

22. Man, I love Aussies.

[Random_Australian]

24. And I love Americans, especially grilled with some string beans. n/t

;)

[graywarrior]

28. Don't you mean fava beans?

[Random_Australian]

30. No. I mean string beans. What the hell are fava beans anyway?

And why would they go good with grilled American?

Any serving suggestions for the carbohydrate portion of the meal? Potatoes? Rice? Pasta?

[graywarrior]

33. Fava beans, chianti and human liver....yummm

[Random_Australian]

36. How about grilled American Spare Rib, with some potato and

balsamic salad, broiled dwarf beans, and a green and purple salad? Toast or bread for extras.

It'd make a nice picnic, don't you think? ;)

How do you open a can with no can opener?

[graywarrior]

39. Is this about corn rolling?

[Random_Australian]

42. huh? What's corn rolling?

[graywarrior]

47. Opening cans without can openers?

[Random_Australian]

50. A can opener is anything that opens a can. Therefore if it opens a can

it is a can opener. Therefore if you open a can with it, it is a can opener. Therefore only things that you can't open a can with are not can openers. Therefore you cannot open a can without a can opener.

[graywarrior]

51. You are so lucky you are not inside my head, dude.

[Random_Australian]

52. Well, that made as much sense as a hamster in a tumble dryer,

you're lucky I'm not in your head, and you're lucky you aren't in my head. See the genetic destiny thread.

[graywarrior]

54. Cripes, an Aussie and a Lynner having a discussion.

I feel like I'm on acid.

[Random_Australian]

55. What's a Lynner?

[graywarrior]

65. Native of Lynn Lynn the City of Sin

[Random_Australian]

66. Right. And then what are those? Real places, song places,fictional places?

[bigwillq]

8. How did you learn about

DU? :shrug:

[Random_Australian]

13. I googled 'Conservative Idiots', and the top 10 came up.

And it was funny. And the hate mailbag was awesome too. Eventually I moved into the discussion forums, first GD, the I found the lounge, then atheism, skepticism, and the Mental Health Support Group. And that's how it went.

[bigwillq]

17. Do you remember who the first person was

that welcomed you to DU? :shrug:

[Random_Australian]

20. No. I'm afraid I don't. I don't think it was that regular a poster,

and it was in GD.

Thankyou whoever though!

[bigwillq]

25. Do you follow tennis at all?

:shrug:

[Random_Australian]

26. No. Are you a small female off duty checkoslovakian traffic warden? n/t

[bigwillq]

32. WHAT?

:shrug:

Is this a Martina reference?

And btw, I am asking the questions here! :P


I was just wondering if you know who Llyeton (sp?) Hewitt is.

[Random_Australian]

34. I do, I'm not THAT close-minded.

The warden was a Red Dwarf reference.

What do you want to know about Lleyton?

[bigwillq]

37. I just think he's really cute.

He's my fave tennis player. I like his style and his attitude but he's a racist.

[Random_Australian]

38. "I like his attitude (...) he's a racist" qués cú fé?

He doesn't even have a good attitude, he's a sore loser and an even sorer winner.

His style is good though. I wouldn't know about looks. ;)

[bigwillq]

41. Yeah, that sounded weird huh?

I like his style and attitude on the court. He's one tough nut. All heart and all.
That's what I meant.

But indeed a racist.

[Random_Australian]

43. I see. Sorry about that but we get a fair bit here.

:hug:

[xchrom]

9. lol -- whose better than you?!?

:applause:

[Random_Australian]

14. Mirror, mirror, on the wall, why do I think an

inaminate object can help me?

[xchrom]

27. lol -- you said to ask you -- now i'm confused --

i'm just a poor weak gay guy -- now you're using your superior powers to confuse me.

:think: :crazy: :think:

[Random_Australian]

29. Me isn't. Sorry about the answer but inherit in an old proof of mine

that all people are equal is the invalidity of any judgement of one person as better than another.

[xchrom]

31. ...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

well done!

[Random_Australian]

35. *takes bow*

Thankyou, thankyou, dear xchrom.

[XemaSab]

11. What's your favorite Australian bird?

:shrug:

[Random_Australian]

16. I'll have to be traitorous and say the ha-ha pigeon

(that is slang for the kookaburra), cos it eats snakes. I hate snakes.

[XemaSab]

44. I'd love to see a kookaburra

I love kingfishers, and I've seen all three north american kingfishers.

I got a kingfisher book for Christmas, and you've got some really cool ones down there! :bounce:

Edit: 9 species, mostly in the Top End.

[Random_Australian]

48. We have lots and lots of cool wildlife. The whole isolated for

100's of 1000's of years thing really paid off.

[XemaSab]

49. For sure

(I edited the prior post).

No woodpeckers though. :(

[Droopy]

15. How much do Australian truckers get paid?

I think it would be cool if I could head down that way for a little while.

[Random_Australian]

18. Slightly better conditions, still complete crap, unfeasible deadlines

'vitamins', a lot of competition for places, new 'workplace agreements' that would screw you, and the companies are doing poorly. So no can go methinks. Sorry. (Australia is just too spaced out to be a good place for truckers).

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

40. How old are you ?

and if you're over 18 , post a pic . LOL .

[bigwillq]

45. Yeah, I would like to see a pic too.

I can't remember if he's ever posted a pic.

[Random_Australian]

46. 17! I am 18 in two days, and I've already posted this pic:

And in this one I mispelled 'of' as 'if' :cry:

[bigwillq]

53. No I never did see this pic!

:hi: Thanks for sharing.

Why did I think you were older? And I mean like 40s or 50s older. :shrug:

[Random_Australian]

56. People on the net think I'm old fat and bald, people in real life think

I'm British, American.... ahh the story of my life.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

59. There's an actor you look like, but I can't remember the name.

:shrug:

[Random_Australian]

60. Arnold Shwarznegger? Don Juan? Catherine Blanch?

Sicktwistedmind? Hannibal Lecter? Eddie Murphy?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

61. Yeah, Eddie Murphy.

:rofl:

No, seriously, you do look like somebody I've seen in movies.

[Random_Australian]

62. Perhaps Superman? Or the Incredible Hulk? Or maybe

Lucy Lu? ;)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

63. LOL, no.

Maybe a British actor? :shrug:

[Random_Australian]

68. John Cleese?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

69. No, someone much younger.

:banghead:

[Random_Australian]

70. A baby? A foetus? Marcus Auralius? (Gladiator)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

71. Between 20 and 35.

[Random_Australian]

72. I've no idea. I'll give you a list of attributes: Brave, charming,handsome

strong, good looking, better looking, incredible, has to beat the girls off with a stick, modest, corageous, a bad speller, amazing. Narrow it down any? Establish my narcissism?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

73. No and yes.

:D

[Random_Australian]

74. Now that is a suprise. You remind me of someone too....

posts on DU a fair bit..... hmmmm.... something about a S and an A.....

[Starbucks Anarchist]

75. Yeah, I heard about that guy.

He's a tool. :D

[Random_Australian]

76. Yep. I'm planning to kill him. We have 50 DU'ers all ready to

kick his ass. ;)

You wanna be part of the beating?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

78. Yes!

He must be stopped! :D

[Random_Australian]

80. Alright, buddy. Come over here a second.....

I'd like to introduce you to my little friend 'batty'.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

81. ...

*runs away*

[Random_Australian]

82. Alright. I recommend a traditional, humane cull using traditional methods.

The traditional baseball bat applied to the traditional face and traditional knees is what traditionally is done before traditionally setting you alight.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

57. If Jesus really existed, then why didn't he foresee...

...the development of: robots, New Wave music, Prisoner Cell Block H, the goatee, the discovery of the Polynesian islands, the lambada, the Confederation of Canada, pirates' treasure hidden in the Caribbean, polar bears, the stylophone and Marxist thought (Groucho, not Karl)?

[Random_Australian]

58. Because he was too busy screaming. According to the Passion of the

Easter Bunny anyway.

Oh yes, and because we evil atheists built a time machine and removed all the evidence.

Are you doing a war on easter this year? I was going to but the chocolate involved swayed me a little.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

64. I have been busy undermining Easter.

Using circumstantial evidence, I'm accusing the Easter Bunny of "financial irregularities" and other things.

Where does it get that chocolate from? Why is the money trail cold? Who finances it? How can the Easter Bunny leave so many chocolate eggs around? It just doesn't add up.

It is an undisputed fact that to date, the Easter bunny has been unable to account for its movements on: 9/11 and 7/7.

Worldwide illness has risen along with chocolate egg consumption. Therefore we can only conclude that easter eggs are poisoned with chemicals from big pharma.

[Random_Australian]

67. True. And why are the Easter eggs and bunnies hollow?

Unless it was all stolen by rogue clowns, I say they are used to smuggle chemtrail ingredients. Orgone or some shite. And the residue is toxic to the touch. Kills anything instantly. Which is why just the spirit of me is typing now.

[Evergreen Emerald]

77. Have you ever dived at the Great Barrier Reef?

I want to someday soon.

[Random_Australian]

79. That's cool! No I haven't I'm from a different part of the country,

and as an Aussie I holiday to cold places. But it certainly is a marvel out there.

Best of luck on your holiday plans!

[Evergreen Emerald]

85. Thanks!

I have been wanting to travel Australia for a while now. I had to cancel a trip a few years ago when something came up at work, and I had to cancel the vacation. Now, I am planning a trip to Japan.

Australia will be next, I hope.

[Random_Australian]

86. Ohhhh, yeah..... sounds awesome. It's great to meet new cultures,

it must be said.

[WolverineDG]

83. Are you planning to travel a bit?

In the past, when I've gone to London, or even times I've travelled in the US, I always run into young Aussies & Kiwis spending a year or two abroad. Good folks always!

:hi: to my friends Down Under!

dg

[Random_Australian]

84. No, not for a few years. My degree will put me in demand all round the

world so I might then. But yeah, Aussies do travel a bit. Not as much as the people of the Netherlands or whatever, but still a fair bit.

And Aussies with degrees promptly get exported. Big problem here known as the brain drain.

[lavenderdiva]

87. Hey, Random_Australian!

a very belated Welcome to DU too! Are you originally from Australia? Or are you a transplant? How did you find DU?

I grew up in Australia; we got transferred there in 1965. Stayed until late 1972. Absolutely loved it. Haven't been back since, but I'm sure its changed a LOT since I lived there....

I sure do miss meat pies, sausage rolls, fish & chips, and pasties.....

[Random_Australian]

88. mmmmm..... meat pies. I am Aussie born and Aussie bred.

How did I find DU? I googled 'Conservative Idiots' and met the top ten.

I should miss it too, were I to leave.

[lavenderdiva]

93. I see you are now at 2000 posts!

Congratulations!! :toast:

[Random_Australian]

96. Thanks-a-rooni-s.

[AirmensMom]

89. Do you like marmite?

:9

[Random_Australian]

92. No, but I love vegemite.

[AirmensMom]

98. Did you know ...

that I KNEW you'd say that? :bounce:

[Random_Australian]

101. I just KNEW you were going to say that!

[AirmensMom]

105. That's SUPER ESP going on!

:silly: :bounce:

I had marmite once. Nasty stuff! Never have had vegemite, though.

[Random_Australian]

112. There is a little story behind American Hatred Of Vegemite.

Wanna hear it?

[AirmensMom]

121. Yeah, but I bet I'm too late. I had to go to bed.

:( Tell me if you come back today. :bounce:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

90. Congrats on 2,000!

You made it!

[Random_Australian]

94. Thankyou!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

97. I just passed 4,000, too!

[Random_Australian]

118. I know.

[bigwillq]

91. Congrats on 2K!

:toast: :bounce: :hi:

[Random_Australian]

95. Thanks!

[ZombieNixon]

99. Hey, didn't you say it was your birthday today?

:shrug:

[Random_Australian]

102. Nope, two days time. That was Starbucks Anarchist.

[Wapsie B]

100. Congrats on 2k!

:toast:


But for god's sake tell me you're not of French ancestry. ;-)

[Random_Australian]

103. No, I'm not. What the freak kind of question was that?

[Wapsie B]

104. Just a play on this anti-French thing that conservatives have here

[Random_Australian]

114. O.K....that makes a little sense. Pfffftt hell no it don't, the French did

all of jack shit to America. Your post makes sense though.

A question: Why do you hate America.

[Wapsie B]

119. It makes sense if you were around American conservatives.

The anti-French bias is strong. Why do I hate America? I'm just a subversive at heart. I question everything.

[Random_Australian]

120. Yep. Thought so. Here, have some kool-aid.....

[RevolutionaryActs]

106. What are you doing *right now*?

:silly:

[Random_Australian]

109. Replying to you, dear initials stealer.

:silly:

[Race4Peace]

107. Which of the following is a better play?

Spontaneous Human Deduction
Dracula
Alice In Wonderland
Mr. Smith Goes To Washington

BTW HOLY SHIT!

[Random_Australian]

110. Spontaneous Human Combustion.

btw, Wow! A real 2003 DU'er! So they're not a myth!

[madeline_con]

108. What do you do in your spare time?

:popcorn:

[Random_Australian]

111. Talk on DU!

How about you?

[Fox Mulder]

113. It took me six months to get that.

Congrats. :)

[Random_Australian]

115. Thankyou! The guy above is an '03 DU'er and hasn't.....

I think I might spend a little too much time here.....

[Fox Mulder]

116. I haven't spent enough time here...

I've been wasting my time trying to woo a girl, which turned out to be a waste.

I think I'm going to stay in cyber world for a while.

[Random_Australian]

117. ZombieNixon almost popped a vein when I said (upthread)

that I had a life as well. After 17 years without chicks in a redneck part of the bush, I've moved into the city, and there are babes everywhere, I've having such fun! ;) :evilgrin: next to woo....
