Embrace the weakness. Weakness is your friennnnnnnnddddd....
I'd say embrace Alex, but he seems to be ignoring us. He is not deserving, and thus shall get no spankings for breakfast.
And I just found out that Americans pronouce "cretin" as "creetin" (yeah, I know... naming myself after the one part of the episode I'd never actually really *heard... not always a good idea...), and I'm feeling really freaked. Everything I have lived these past few months has been a lie. A horrible, stinking, pustulent American-accented lie. *sobs*
sophie
they do?? haha, stupid americans...*looks around* opps, think they heard me??
Friday, 09-Feb-01 08:44:00
they need to sort out their pronounciation anyways...AL-U-MIN-I-UM....hehe, american's are just so stupid sometimes(no offense guys..;) when my friend was in american last year, someone actually asked her 'what language to they speak in england??' :)
and i don't think alex is ignoring us, he's sick...so, i think he gone to bed...awwww...

STUPID AMERICANS!! hehe

Gotta agree with you on the aluminium thing... and oregano... and basil... and every other word in the English language they can butcher.... ;) Plus, their spelling sucks. They should all die. Horribly. :)
Aww, poor Alex, I didn't realise he was sick (physically, anyway). I hereby forgive him for not fulfilling his board duties. Although it was kinda rude of him to come here, insult us, and leave again. I'll put that down to delirium ;)
sophie
REALLY, REALLY STUPID..
Friday, 09-Feb-01 09:00:46
and yep...like, tomato...colour...and when i was in the states, i asked a shop assistant where the 'trousers' were and she looked at me like i was crazy..before adding a 'oh, how cute, you ENGLISH!' ugh....lol :)
(this is a quote from an american btw) 'americans are stupid, i mean, look who we've got for a president'- pretty much sums it up :)
i agree, they need to die a very painful death.....if only hang, draw and quatering was still legal....*shakes her head sadly*..
and yeah, i think he got a cold...but also he siad something along the lines of 'if i post, people respond, then i have to respond to their responses, i'm a busy man dont you know?' lol :)
qc
INCREDIBLY, DEEPLY STUPID..
Friday, 09-Feb-01 09:14:46
Ugh, Americans... don't get me started on Americans. Well, I guess I already am. So I shall continue.
LEARN HOW TO SPELL, DAMMIT!
God, how can they not know "trousers"? Yeesh.
"English... how cute"?!?! Hmm, wonder what the response would have been if you'd gone "oh, you're American... how terrible". It's like how Tara makes that comment about England being so exciting and exotic or something in a recent ep. And it's like, "yeah. And Australia is one big city on the east coast, a few palm tree lined beach resorts a bit further north, and the rest of it is desert, where all the "real" Australians live". Blecch.
Yeah, I thought we had it bad with John Howard for Prime Minister. At least the people of this country *realise* that he's incompetent. And we don't delude ourself into believing that our leader is the "leader of the free world", and the "most powerful/important/add sickening adjective here man in the world". We're inept, and we're proud of it. We have no delusions of grandeur.
Well, cheer up... with Bush as the President, you've got a guy who majorly advocates the death penalty. Hanging, drawing and quartering is bound to follow (btw, can you tell me the correct definition of "drawn"? One of my history teachers said it was because the intestines were "drawn" out of the person, while another said that the person was "drawn" around behind a horse. Would you happen to know, by any chance?). Then we can arrest all Americans on charges of incompetency and insanity (and bad spelling and pronunciation), and go wild.
Yeah, I'm sure Alex is so busy, lying in bed, looking at his pornos and everything... quite the busy little bee. Better not disturb him, he's working hard. ;)
Ugh, just tried to kill a big mudda of a cockcroach in the bathroom, but only succeeded in breaking a little bit off, and he escaped into a tiny tiny little crack. Now it reeks. Yecch.
We can be as mean to Americans as we like, because THEY'RE NOT HERE! *does a spaz dance*
AMERICANS SUCK ARSE!!!
I hate having to write "color". It's so annoying.
sophie
unbelievably, impossibly stupid...
Friday, 09-Feb-01 09:32:19
ick, i hate stereotypes about the english...like, it's either that we are all uptight, were tweed, drink tea and are very unemotional and pathetic(hello????? do we put on all that padding to play rugby??? american football????? PUH-LEASE!!!!!!!) or we are lager lout people that have lots of riots(this from the country that brought us the jerry springer show) and yeah, that comment of tara's..i read about it and it made me just go grrrrr.....and don't even get me started on 'we saved your ass in WWII'...
lol, i love this board...we can bitch about the amricans..and we out number them!!! whoooo!!! and since the few there are here are sleeping(sign of weakness if i ever saw one), they cant defend themselves!!!
and lol! yep, poor alex, very busy....tis a hard life...(ok, i worte that without even realising...eh, well, it can now be turned itno a crappy joke) hard life..geddit??? geddit?? eh, tough room...
as for drawn, i'm pretty sure it's the intestines one, people were hung, cut down while they were just still alive, then sliced open and i think had their bowles removed(while they were still alive) then cute into quaters...gotta love 16th century england...
bush is just...eh, well, he;s kinda an idiot...i mean, i was watching armageddon the other day(damn good film...) and thinking to myself..if that happened for real, BUSH would be the one like...well, you know...and i so would not trust the fate of the plaent in his hands...most poweful man on earth is someone who actually said, being serious 'if it's a nice day, can we have the recession outside' when someone mentioned the recession to him...lol
cockroach??? *shudder*..
and yeah, i actually wrote color by accident in a sentece the other day, cos i was so used to writing it for html/seeing other people write it...i felt very dirty....
qc
So majorly STUPID!!!
Friday, 09-Feb-01 09:49:22
Ugh, American football must be the lamest sport on earth... if you can call it a sport... I was totally "Go Giles!" when he dissed it to Miss Calendar....
Ugh, that WWII thing... that is *so* lame... they think they did it all... they just came in towards the end, and didn't sacrifice a fraction of what everyone else did... and hello, have they ever heard of Stalingrad?!?! Operation Barbarossa?!? Hitler's whole FUCKed-up offensive into Russia which completely killed off a large amount of the German forces, and would have lost him the war anyhow? The other day I made a crack to sil about the Australian Army, and she said, "you guys have an army?". The scary thing is, I'm not sure whether she was serious or not.
Sleeping as a sign of weakness... lol... damn straight! I'd never sleep if it wasn't for my mum (and *so* most definitely *NOT* my "mom" *shudders*).
HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! Love the Alex joke... how very true. :)
Ah, cool on the "drawn"... guess there's just so many different ways you can "draw" a person, my high school history teachers got all excited over which one they should use....
I really hope something happens to take Bush out of the Presidency... he scares me. You'd think they'd at least get someone who was literate.
Ugh, death to American spellings... especially "meter". I mean, they don't even use the metric system, and yet we get their freakin' spelling turning up everywhere! Argh! And all the newspapers and whatnot are all now using American spellcheckers as well... it's so damn EVIL!!!
And yeah, I can say all this, because sil has been trying to convince me that Americans are dumber than Australians since we first met. Well, guess what, sil? I AGREE WITH YOU!! BWAHAHA!!
Heh, wonder what they'll all write about us once they're up. Can't wait to see the cultural stereotypes emerge. (Because I never use American cultural stereotypes, god no....)
Oh, and I almost forgot: AMERICANS ARE SO VERY, DEEPLY, SADLY STUPID.
Man, pity Alex isn't here to enjoy this.
sophie
more stupid than a blonde with half of what she origninally had of a brain!
Friday, 09-Feb-01 10:14:05
and yep, totally agree about the wwII, i mean, if we hadnt fought in the first place, we'd probably all be ruled by nazis now, they just didn't wanna get involved till the had to...gee, nice of them....lol, and hello? vietnam?? it not like they win everything....
and lol, sil said that? i can't say i've ever thought about countries other than one's i've studied wars about in history having armies, but if someone had like..asked me if you guys had one, i would have said yes... :)
sleep so is a sign of weakness altho, i have been sleeping a bit lately, but that's not out of choice, my mum(also, so not mom) makes me...*pout* she's evil...
i was also go giles...i mean, how wimpy ARE americans with all those pads and helmets?? we play hard, rugged games...like cricket..damn fierce sport!! hehe, kidding....eh, well, england kinda..suck at sports...but, we have such crap weather and are a small country..well, thats my excuse for our lack of sports ability anyways...
american spelling so must DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
americans think they so great with their freedom of everything and stuff, but their freedom to go out anf buy guns had just led to all that stuff at columbine and stuff, and they just..to stubborn to change their constitituion...i mean, we have freedom of speech and religion and whatever, but i really think they should change their gun laws...but thats just imho :)
god, i hope sil and heather don't get all offended by all this...eh, well, as you said, i'm sure they'll be able to strike back.. :)
and yeah, alex should be here, he';s always good at dissign the americans...lol :)

Wow, that's STUPID. :)

I love a good crap on about Vietnam... that police action was *so* fought for the wrong reasons... and the Americans *so* lost! And they won't admit it!
A quick Vietnam rant (my arms are getting tired... stupid sucky non-ergonomic desk)
Ho Chi Minh. Vietnamese guy. Wanted freedom for Vietnam from French colonial rule. Actually *wants* an American-style democracy. Goes to America for help. America says "FUCK off. You're Asian, and it's not in our best interests to help you, because we get more money from your region with French colonial power than we would from you. It's too much bother, because there's not enough in it for us. All that "freedom and democracy for all" actually only applies to us. Go away."
Ho Chi Minh basically gets the same response from all captitalist countries - the only ones that will offer Vietnam help are the Communist ones. So America, who preaches freedom from colonial rule but practices it only for itself, goes schitzo when Ho Chi Minh proposes Communism. At this stage, the Vietnamese are fighting the French imperialists, and America, that great bastian of free will and democracy, comes down immediately on the side of the French. How dare Vietnam be independent.
So America gets all psycho with the domino theory, and attacks, getting other countries (including Australia, which *does* have an army) sucked into it. Even the French bail, because they know it's unwinnable - they leave, and the Americans continue fighting the war the French started.
The Americans **LOSE**. They do not defeat the Viet Cong. North Vietnam goes Communist. The end.
Okay, that went longer than I intended. But oh well. And some of my facts are rather rusty - this is from way back in year 11 history, so I don't remember much.
Hehe, bet you Americans think I totally hate you now. Which I don't. I hope you guys realise that.
Heh, pretty much all countries have armies, even the really tiny ones. Hear that, sil? Almost all countries have armies. :)
Heh, cricket isn't exactly the toughest sport in the world, but man, do cricket balls hurt like the bejesus! If I ever see a cricket ball coming towards me, I don't try to catch it - I duck. They *hurt*. I remember, Jamie Siddons, the guy who used to captain SA, was about to finally be selected for the Australian team years back - and he didn't play with a helmet (silly man). Just before he got called up, he got whacked in the head while he was batting from what must have been quite the bouncer - and had some fairly serious damage. Although he got to play for SA again eventually, he never made the national team. Poor guy. He was around for so long. Maybe if the national selectors didn't have such a bias against SA'ians, he would have been called up earlier... but that's a different story....
I wish that Giles would keep a cricket bat by his bed. You could take out some nasty night-time demons with a cricket bat.
american spelling so must DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ditto.
Yeah, it took a massacre here (the Port Arthur massacre a few years back - heaps of people died - I think it's in the Guinness book of records... not really a good thing...) for us to reform our guns laws. I keep on thinking that America should do the same, but I don't think they ever will. Too many zealots.
Rant, rant, rant. I can't wait to see what sil has in store for me. :)

scarySTUPID American...
Friday, 09-Feb-01 09:25:00
And you Americans who may read this - sorry, but you brought it on yourselves. You claim to be the most powerful nation on earth, and then elect someone like Bush, expect payout.
Okay, Americans, I'm going to put forth a concept to you, which may (actually, it almost certainly WILL) be very difficult to understand. I'm going to talk (very) loudly and slowly, to give you a better chance.
Are you ready? Here goes:
AMERICA... IS... NOT... THE...
(sorry, just thought I'd give you a break while you try to absorb this... okay, let's continue)
CENTRE...
(yes, the CENTRE, not the CENTER... don't worry they mean they same thing, it's just that one way is correct, and the other isn't, and has no visual beauty whatsoever... are you sure you're ready for the next part?)
OF... THE... UNIVERSE....
There, there, are you guys okay? I know it'sa a difficult concept for you to get your plebian minds around (heh... I love the Master), but I'm sure that, in time, it'll come to make some sort of sense. Hell, maybe you'll even start to accept it. We're here for you. It must be very difficult. Maybe sil will even come to one day understand that Australian Rules football is not the same as what we down here call "soccer" (sorry, sops and Alex, I know that word doesn't sit well with you), but is, in fact, an entirely different sport in its own right.
Heehee, I love being here when the Americans aren't around. :)
Yay chocolate sugar sugar sugar high! *does a spaz dance*

About Americans
Friday, 09-Feb-01 15:53:54
well, what can i say... (take it as a funny, only a funny)
I won't say that all americans are stupid. I just want to say that an incredibly high percentage (in comparison to other nations), are...
With that, they display a very arrogant view. Thinking that they are a free nation and the rest of the world is not, and therefore they have a better country.
So... to destroy this ridiculous belief, let me state that freedom of thought, religion and speech is nothing special, and that americans, indeed, did *not* think of it first.
Let me skip right over the subjects of the race issues, gun-law and corruption....
and right to: gay-marriages, gay adoption, legalized softdrugs, legalized gambling, strong environmental laws, money for higher education by the government, no matter how good an athlete you are... etc... etc...
Which are all freedoms that some other countries do allow. As opposed to "the right to bear arms"
that always cracks me up, lol... "the right to bear arms" what dimwit thought that one up? Well, we all know what that led to... highest crimerates in the world...
Of course... America does have some major pluspoints. They are the second in the world of movies, right behind india. And professional wrestlers can run for office and actually get elected.
On top of that, their idealisms, however misplaced and misinterpreted by themselves, are still strong in their movies, music, and other cultural practices... except every day life. :)
America is truly the land where everything can happen. Like having a nice, inbred family, driving to work in your stationwagon, get your car hijacked and shot in the leg, then get convicted of a crime you didn't do and get friend in a chair...
*ruffles sil's hair* nah... most americans are cool... just... some give you a bad name... like... republicans. But, that's okay :)
