Feeling like an outsider

[RelentlessOblivion]

I’d say I prefer UFC but my favourite fighters are all retired

[AlSymerz]

Despite (or perhaps because of) my cuz being a pro wrestler whose been through the WWE camp I don't watch any of those fighting sports but I do follow the news which includes such local stories from time to time.

Perhaps I’m just unlucky, upon reflection I’d say that I know maybe 6 people who are into metal, but only one I could drag along to a gig.

Also to put where I live into perspective: South Australia is roughly a third larger then Texas, but has a population roughly a third smaller then Iowa.

South Australia which covers an area of nearly a million square km has roughly the same population (1.77 million) as West Virgina, (1.79 million) which is the 40th largest of our 50 states by population, and 41st in land area at just 63k sq km. Of those 1.77 million South Australians, 1.35 million are your fellow Adelaidians. Australia has 3 times as many sheep as people (78.85 million).

Makes you wonder why the fuck lamb is so expensive in this country...we can't be keeping them all as girl friends

 

I don't know if it's true but someone (an aussie so obviously it's gotta be true) that American's don't eat much lamb because they consider it gamey and tough.

[RelentlessOblivion]

Yes I’m aware, there’s also an obscene number of churches considering our population. Anyway I can’t complain too much, at least I’ve been to some shows.

They might not, but to consider it 'gamey' seems a bit weird to me. Roo, Croc, Water buffalo, maybe even to some degree goat, are gamey but Lamb is far from gamey.

At $45 a kilo for lamb cutlets lambs are nearly worth their weight in gold in this country.

Yeah, venison too for that matter, also, yes, Lamb is stupidly expensive which sucks because it’s probably my favourite meat after dark.

[AlSymerz]

It's kind of funny that we can afford to eat our national emblems but we can't afford to eat the animal that outnumbers us.

Lamb would undoubtedly be my personal favorite of all the different proteins, certainly out of all the 4-legged creatures I've ever eaten. It's no contest reallly, I wouldn't even have to think about it. But I am aware that most Americans don't eat it, probably haven't tried it, and have no desire to eat it or try it. As a nation we also don't eat goat which is the most eaten of all the red meats on a worldwide basis. I've also known many many people who'll refuse to eat most any type of fish or seafood. (except possibly shrimp) Many don't even seem to have any particular reason for this and lots of people will even make up phantom allergies to excuse why they don't eat various types of seafood or shellfish.

Most Americans seem only too happy to eat the shittiest food imaginable. I know this because I've been to many many restaurants of all different sizes and types over the years of which the overwhelming majority have served me shit food. Varying degrees of shit, some will be more or less edible than others, but it can still mostly all be described as shit. I've gone to many restaurants where I've told the person sitting across from me "If I ever forget how much this place sucks and then suggest coming back here in a few years please smack me upside the head to remind me." And yet most of them are still busy as fuck and will make you wait ages for a table on a Friday or Saturday night, it's insane. It's like Americans are so seduced by the convenience of quick and easy food they won't have to cook or clean up themselves, that they're willing to sacrifice all standards of taste and texture to get it.

Adelaide has 43 Christian churches per 100,000 residents. The American south has 150 churches per 100k.

My youngest brother is the same way, he would live on McDonald’s if he could. Me though? Nah I’m a foodie, I need variety and quality.

And South Aus can add to the current WWE Smackdown Women's Titleholder to their list of accolades can Texas or Iowa do that?

Her mom and dad must be so proud.

Whack a bit of white into that make up and she could be a black metal singer.

I ain't whackin' off to that. Nah we don't want her, sure she'd be in a core band.

Rhea Ripley’s badass moments...can't believe anyone over the age of 11 would actually watch this nonsense.
