Watching last week's SNL and the Beavis and Butthead skit is far better than the clips I've seen.

Google it and watch it please.

Had to keep it real with a Vietnamese teenage boy and inform him that Koalas are not naturally cuddly and in fact can be quite vicious and scratch you. Only Koalas kept in captivity will tolerate at best human contact.

So you killed some poor bastard's dream?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I saved him from future Koala assault.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's the risk you take when cuddling a cute little furry koala.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

And now he knows the risk whereas before he did not.

Drop bears are real; they look like koalas but will fuck you up bad. You did good warning him

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I used to think drop bears were joke. I know better now. Those cunts are serious business.

Honestly no native animal in Australia is friendly really. They are outright hostile, dangerous or at best avoidant.

I guess the quokka could be one.

This is the earliest night I've had in a few weeks. Enjoy your evening everyone ❀️

You Are A Cunt

Feel free to nominate someone like Peter Dutton

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Peter Dutton, it's just constant daily cuntery with him. Every word out of his mouth is offensive.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I couldn't think of anyone more cuntier.

I like the name of this song, want to direct some of these words to someone right now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Sing it loud. Sing it proud my friend.

took 4.5 hrs back from the bellarine.

Everything went wrong.. time for wine.

The funniest was at the 48 stop outside southern x and the arrival kept ticking from 3mins, to 2, back to 3, then 1 for a solid 15 mins. Then it arrives with no one on it. Sort of like the movie ghost ship.

Kew, so close yet so far away. Honestly it boggles the mind how long the tram takes. A good chunk of time is just spent going down Collins St and creakily turning into Vic Pde. Not having a train is a bit of a far Kew to residents.

Since I picked the kumquats s'pose I better prepare the marmalade mix

and I'll make a big apple crumble too :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I always read 'kumquats' as 'kum-squats'

If you make that apple crumble I'd love to see!!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'd probably do a lot more squats if that was the outcome 🀣

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Same πŸ‘€

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

ok, I'll prepare stuff for it tonight and will finish tomorrow :)

it will be apple and raspberry

I ended up watching crocodile Dundee. What a fun movie. A+

That's not a knife! This is a knife!

The last ones a Simpsons parody of it, right? Or was I not paying attention (I don't remember it)?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Hah yeah the last one is the Simpsons episode in Aus haha.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Australia

Celebrating 30 years of electricity

So many little jokes in that episode

Love it how Aussies have embraced it.

I saw them in concert by accident.

Ended up eating hot dogs from a street vendor with them after the show and talking about career choices and how I should continue with my education.

Ooo. Haven't heard this in ages. I'll surprise queue it. Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

this refrain was of course the best bit 🎺🎢

Reminded me, yesterday I walked past a mariachi singing at the local taqueria on Sydney rd . All I could think of was Tuyo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJm7H9IP5SU
