I wonder if this thread could perhaps be pulled by Karen.
I really hate to read some of the posts, the language has gone too far in my opinion, as another poster mentioned there are many children who read these posts.

(no not you gini;)) tend to generalize and lose our minds when
we get rolling....again, I hope you look at the comment for what it is.......another whacked out comment made by a foolish, addled,
from the land of fruits and nuts kinda guy.
I hope you accept my apology.
or how's about this? you can let me swim in the GBR with 10 kilos of raw steak stapled to my back......
Don't worry about the steak as you may be chased by sharks during your swim. You can do the dishes at my dinner party instead ;)

He he he, I have missed you the last few days :) Good to see you're back. I'm having a problem locating some of my guests so you and the herd are more than welcome. Just look for the house with the Californian out the front washing the windows :DQuote:

Jo, who are you inviting to your party?
No offence, but if you hate reading the posts so much why do you? I doubt anyone's forcing you...Quote:

You have now! lol
Ah, HAH! Someone diiiddddd notice my absence, thank you Nicole! I will look for the silly Californian outfront doing miscellaneous yard duties, and I will be looking forward to some yummy native food...what do you people eat over there? Do you have stoves? Really, what would be a 'native' Australian dish?
I am inviting no one to my party, as I am not going to have one. My house is only big enough for six tuxies, one hooman, and an occasional....he he he..
Actually Australia and New Zealand don't have stoves. In fact, we don't even have running water.
I don't know how I'm able to get on the internet with my mud computer, either.;)
You've got a mud computer - GET OUT! There's a two year waiting list here for one of those! I have to send my carrier pigeon to Japan with my messages, and have someone there log in as me and post them!Quote:

Jo, our native food includes witchetty grubs (sp), goanna, snake and vegemite to name but a few. Needless to say, you won't be getting that at my place!
You forgot Tim Tams, Miss Meow. Food of the GODS!!
Yeah, I got a mud computer fairly easily. Must be cause I'm American and they want to impress us with their flash new technology.
It's still a pain in the neck to have to heat up water in kangaroo pouches, though. ;)

i'll gladly eat anything off of a 'roo guard......but it has to be fresh....i've seen what vegemite looks like......axle grease!!!!
Gee now THERE'S an appetizing thought! lol
And when did you want to visit Ohio?Quote:

Vegemite??? That is what the song refers to by Down Under...and a vegemite sandwhich??? I just came to that realization, and after all these years. What IS a vegemite sandwhich?
And, what are those other things you named?

the funniest thing about california is seeing who the out of towners are. when you see people walking down the street, in shorts, when the weather gets chilly-chances are they are visiting!

And Ralph and I would keep you busy enough replumbing the bathroom, drywalling the basement and upstiars, you wouldn't een have time to notice the snow :)
He can help Mike with the bathroom and putting the floor down! He can stop in Indiana on the way to Ohio.
Vegemite is a concentrated spread made from yeast extract. To be specific, it's the leftover dregs of yeast used in the beer brewing process (I used to work at Kraft Foods and got the whole factory visit!) It's black and sludgy and looks like something you'd use to patch up potholes in the road. Getting hungry? It smells like a mix of rotting shoes and salt. It's one of those things you either hate or love. I am firmly in the hate category. I'd rather spread my car oil on toast than that stuff :)
Witchetty grubs are kind of like a big centipede without the legs, but fatter and yellow and white in colour. Apparently you throw them on the campfire and eat them whole. It's more of a protein food for Aboriginals who are still on the land and intrepid travellers. Luckily we have those supermarket things :) Isn't it amazing how we grow up with food biases?
Vegemite and Marmite....absolutely revolting. Majorly shocking for me when I first came here. Yikes!
But then I heard about the great "super-market" I rode my emu to the nearest one! Too bad you have to pack all your goods on your back for the ride home. If only we had cars....
