Why Americans have a problem with Australians
Australia, you know that country near New Zealand, a thorn in our side. Here are the top five reasons:
5. Steve Irwin. What did we ever do to deserve 24 hours of Irwin on Animal Planet. I swear if I hear "Crikey" one more time, I will put a bullet in my skull.
4. Poisonous snakes. Australia has the worse poisonous snakes in the world. You can't take a walk or swim in the pool without being bit by one and dying. Crikey!
3. Kangaroos. The most dangerous creature in the world (after snakes). Don't tell me they're harmless. I just watched "When Kangaroos Attack" on the National Geographic Channel.
2. Down Under. Down Under what? The table? The bed? We don't say we're from the land "up over". C'mon enough already.
1. Vegamite sandwich. 'Nough said. And what ever happened to "Men at Work?" Probably got bit by a snake while being attacked by a kangaroo. Crikey!!

hahaha, thats awesome. Damn Australians!
I believe it's propery spelled "Crikey", at least in our Americanized English. The English don't know how to spell their own language.
And forget Steve Irwin - remember Paul Hogan, our model for how all Aussies look, sound, and behave. That's what they're all like.
And while you're railing about the crocs, snakes, and 'roos (which are quite dangerous - don't forget the boxing baby kangaroo that kept kicking Sylvester's butt, which is proof enough for me), don't forget the spiders. And I thought the Cannucks had it bad with their rampant moose infestation. The Down Underers have serious animal issues, such as toad warfare (look it up).
I actually love Vegamite and Marmite. But my mother was a Brit.
Thanks Grant and since that would make Fatty's point, the correction is made. But it could be Crackee if we wanted, we are after all Americans!
EOTR-Brit or Australian same thing, just ask Fatty ;)
aaah the good old down under jokes. Makes for a lot of spicy conversation.
I LOVE the fact that those myths are taken so freaking seriously! ie: kangaroos bahahahahahahaha
but MenAtWork ROCK!
you all are just jealous!
Jealous maybe, but your denial about the viciousness of kangaroos is just plain sad.
Not to mention Koala Bears. Vicious beasts
I would like to add to the list : Keith Urban. He's not country...he's Australian, so he shouldn't be singing country music!
hey my pet kangaroo is nice [his name is skippy]
i've never had a incident with a kangaroo. you're more likely to die of from a vending machine falling on you that from a spider.
and i have never heard of death by kangaroo or koala.
a kangaroo killed my father
Fresh, I remember reading about that. By the way, how many sociology courses did you take?
War Egle, Agle? Eegl? Hell, go Tigers!
Have you ever met a man named Yeven Strobels?
If so, please tell me. He may be my biological father.
