Ask An Australian

except melbourne

who is a greater national hero, mel gibson or nicole kidman

Mel Gibson at least starred in Mad Max (1 & 2)

who is a greater national hero, esteban buttez or naomi watts

esteban by far

neither mel or nicole are australian

so wait are australians calling soccer "football" now or does he mean afl or rugby or something?

nor?

kevin's just a ponce

overcoming tough odds is what Australian football does best

Which sort of football, as SS just asked. If he means soccer then it makes sense: we never make it into the world cup, is the obvious one, so the one or 2 times we have everyone acts like we won the moon.

let's all win soccer on the moon hulahguahlaughhlaghualagh

overcoming tough odds is what Australian football does best

You'd think it was pretty unlikely that a football player could over play again following his partying with a biker days before the biker went on an amphetamine-fuelled rampage that culminated in a murder and two other people being shot wouldn't you?

Tough odds are:

- All major grounds are oval shaped. You can't see a fucking thing!
- "Soccer" is a "pooftah" game.
- Qatar's massive bid.
- Kosmina got the arse from Sydney FC which reduces A-League comedic incidents by about 350%.
- Australian Rules is a superior sport.
- It's just another excuses for the Serb and Croat communities to instigate urban warfare on each other.
- Townsville said they couldn't loan $10 to the bid after signing up Robbie Fowler for the NORTH QUEENSLAND FURY.
- There's still a few people in Sydney who insist that Rugby League is a sport.
- IT'S GOING TO BE FOURTY FUCKING DEGREES TOMORROW AT LEAST
- At least England will fuck it up somehow and won't win the bid.

we never make it into the world cup

We're leading our qualification pool! If we beat Japan next week, we're all but set for 2010.

Soccer doesn't exist, it's football.

assball

Y'all should play it in Chicago again. Great stuff.

i got the impression it was like, "hey i'm gonna level with u here", kind of similar i guess

here we say it in that tone when we're mad exasperated with someone so it's kind of comically o_O to hear clarke say it 10 times to atherton, say

haha

sports use is down to media training i reckon - gives user time to formulate (bland) answer without sitting there saying nothing

This Australian tonal usage is now pervasive throughout Irish sport, btw, presumably through the influence of your rugby coaches.

Incidentally there's a rough equivalent with English working class football people, where they'll suddenly say, "but no" and follow it with something serious, as if switching from a BANTER mode that often wasn't actually present.

Pollies do it too, a bit. "look the thing is, [insert massive load of bollox here]"

is courtney barnett very famous in australia

At least among the young/indie/JJJ crowd, yeah for sure.

My friend looks like her.

mine looks like Penn Gillette.
