I love the metal core reference to pineapple on pizza!!

I use peppers a lot too and that's why I grow them all year round where I can. I don't mind the hotter ones but I have to be careful I know which are which because my missus really hates them. Last summer I think I had some seeds cross pollinate and I pulled a large, long green capsicum off the bush and took a huge bite expecting it to be a normal one. I'm not sure if it was the heat or the surprise that nearly blew me apart but I make sure to only take small bites these days.

I knew Americans ate bell peppers rather than capsicums and I can see why they are called bell peppers. I'm pretty sure that as a kid we knew them as just peppers, but I'm not sure if that was exclusively the name for them or not because I don't remember what age I was when I realised the two items were the same thing. This year I grew a heap of different sorts of capsicum and very few were bell shaped, so I see why less people here refer to them as bell peppers.

Prawns at a restaurant are ok because they are prepared, but prawns at home are bloody annoying. Usually they are quite expensive, but they are a bastard to peel, especially when you get a dozen or so on the plate. Many people don't have an issue doing it but I hate doing it at home, probably the same people that enjoy sucking the meat out of a crab's claw. Shrimps are much easier when it comes to prep work but it would take quite a few to satisfy my hungry.

We used to go out on a summer's night and walk around the lake with under water lights and nets catching prawns, some were bite size other were massive. Some nights we'd come home with 5 or 6 kilos of prawns. For a week away we'd catch a years supply of prawns at night and fish during the day. But I'm not a huge fan of frozen seafood any more and most of the places we used to go got fished out and are no longer worth it.

I'm not a huge pizza fan so I don't care what people put on them, but then I have only had Aussie pizzas which are nothing like an American pizza. I wouldn't mind trying an American pizza but I could happily live not having another Aussie pizza in my lifetime.

Those ads were very successful, although I never figured out why they showed them here as often as they did. From memory I think the only tourism ad they claimed was more successful was this one.

They did try to recreate the success a few years ago with some actors pretending to do Crocodile Dundee and some stupid ocka sayings which cost a fortune and failed dramatically.

Is there a difference between shrimp and prawn? We call the tiny ones that go in meals like fried rice or noodles, shrimp, but anything bigger is called a prawn, and then the really big ones are king prawns. I've never really noticed American's talk about prawns.

Back in the 70's when the Foster export train really started much of our beer did look like oil cans. They were even more oil can like when they were made of steel rather than aluminium. They have changed the shape a little bit over the years and made the logos and cans more recognisable as beer but they still look a little like oil cans. In the case of those that make stout the contents look like oil too.

Shrimps (Prawns) were cheap this year it would have been a good time to throw them on the barbie, although most people cook the shit out of them anyway. Actually for a country that prides itself on a 'barbie' there is a lot of Aussies who cook the shit out of the food to an almost inedible state.

The Fosters beer promos worked well though because exporting it in the quantities we did meant that no reasonable Aussie was caught drinking the stuff.

Paul's looking a little like he was a shrimp on a barbie these days. But I thought we were all supposed to look and sound like Crocodile Dundee, or more recently Steve Irwin. Crickey!

I remember that interview. While us Aussies may not all have the hero quality of that guy we do all aspire to reach the legendary status of him. Sadly though the idiot host on the left is too often represented by overseas media as a 'real aussie'.

Oh, we've got another eclipse down here in the southern hemisphere next year, perhaps you can come down and do some survival courses for us.

I don't have any lossless music, never felt the need. I don't even have a set of headphones, just a set of $2 earbuds that I used to use when I listened to music in bed.

That's the posh high falutin ABC newscaster voice Yanks like so much. I was talking about the common bogan accent or what's known as the broad Aussie accent. I can only understand about 42% of the words coming out of his mouth.

Totality was fucking amazing. I'm sorry I looked away from it even to get a shot on my phone, which can't do it justice, but there ya go:

 

As far as eclipses go I think it was a one star event!

Except there ain't no chicks/Shielas gonna be watching no old man podcast about 40 year old metal albums by the likes of: Metal Church, Manowar, Anthrax and Exciter. That's a sausage fest if ever I've seen one. The chicks might only tune into the podcast when it's about the sexy 80's glam metal MTV bands they remember having crushes on.

And did no one ever tell you that of all the accents of all the English speaking countries, Americans typically find the Australian accent the least pleasant to listen to? Even the Kiwis have a more pleasing accent. Personally I'd rank South Africa as the worst of all the English accents, and then Australia'd be next, and then Canadia right ahead of OZ just for their silly O sounds. Aotearoa goes in front of Canadia. Scottish and Irish are at the top of my list #1 & 2 I could listen to them talk all day. And then that leaves England which is the hardest to rank because English accents run the gamut. They have some truly lovely and very appealing melodious accents over there while some others are just pants. 

 

 

It doesn't matter the content of the podcast the chicks just flock to the hot Aussie for the sound of his voice.

To be honest I have never heard an American suggest the Aussie accent it unpleasant. Maybe I'm taking the piss a bit suggesting all the chicks will flock to such an accent but most American's I know rate the Aussie accent pretty highly.

 They should get the Orca to guest star on there, but no one would be able to understand his bogan accent.

 

Of course they would, with the added bonus that all the chicks swoon at the wonderful Aussie accent
