Gigantalope - If you feed a dingo baby food it will be very unimpressed. Like many Australian animals, it likes to kill things. Preferrably people. Its an Australian animal thing, most of them do it. Therefore, it will likely go you.

Australian animal that roots, shoots, and leaves? Sounds like the Australian country male. A cousin of the American redneck.

Freddie - Never heard of Pabst Blue Ribbon. I don't drink beer anyway (i'm un-Australian, I dont like cricket either). Fosters and Four X are usually exported cause noone here likes the stuff.

Riptide - Not everyone is a criminal. But we are oddly proud of our penal colony history. A country so uninviting, it was a non-fenced prison. Now the English flock here as backpackers. Haha. Our most famous Aussie Ned Kelly was a cop killer, but the country loves him. Waltzing Matilda is the country's 'adopted' anthem (we dont like authority, and dont like when they give us an anthem) and is about a homeless guy stealing a sheep, then commiting suicide.

Monkeyman - It is a tops place to live. All those sound pretty accurate.

Joefla70 - I have heard of those cheesy Aussie steakhouses. Never seen one/been to one though. We got this cheesy restaurant, not sure if you got it, called "McDonalds". Americana on a stick, and cheesy as. Have you heard of it? :)

Finkdaddy - Some (mostly old) people listen to Men at Work (I do too). Most 'young' people listen to crap rap/R&B same as everywhere else. Vegemite - I think it tastes like crap (again, im kinda wierd). The majority of Aussies love the stuff. Again, Fosters is exported.

Unga Bunga - Possibly. Speaking of actors, when they make it big here, they take off to America and get some crap 'world' accent.

Jimtandem - That sounds like typical Aussie bahaviour for some. Depends on how strict the boss is :) We only go out of our way to make tourists feel comfortable to offset the fear of being killed/eaten by our lovely wildlife - tourism is just another business after all.

Naugatiki - Yahoo serious may possibly be the inventor of Yahoo, but I doubt it. He prefers to make crap movies (although Young Einstein was tops. Just gotta split that beer atom. Now, where's that chisel?)
