    But a dingo ate my project!

    I bet the Bloomin Onion that the winner gets is mighty tasty, too.

    Oh you USian brutes! You are going to make me cry! I am a European fag and have feelings and cry very often! Don't you know what is happening to the endangered one eyed purple people eater? They are facing extinction in the Siberian Rain Forest! You USians have such horrible news coverage! You have plenty of news about your 250+ million person country but you have horrid new coverage of the important eastern european country of Bashkortostan! Those four million neanderthals deserve as much news coverage as your country. I bet after you attack Iraq (you barbarians!) you'll attack the Bashkortosans just because your president can't pronounce their country's name.

    Thank you, Thank you. I'll be here all week.

    "Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!" is the Australian catchcry/warcry.

    Try it. Go into a crowded area which could possibly have Australians (say, a large shopping centre). Yell out "Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!".

    I can almost guarantee that you will get back the response "Oi! Oi! Oi!".

    Try it for yourself.. at new years, cricket matches, the rubgy or even at a tennis match with
    Leyton Hewitt. You will be surprised.     .... When somebody like me throws a can of XXXX at your head. We are so very sick to death of hearing that stupid chant.

    And we all know the appropriate things to chant at a cricket match:
    • "HOWZAT!!!"
    • "Come on Aussie come on!"
    • "Bowling shane!" (and of course, "Bowling Warney, feeling horny")
    • "Ooh ah, Glen McGrath"

    Yelling any of these is perfectly acceptable.
