One of my best girl friends is indigenous, I love a good roo steak haha and my job entails working with people from all cultures.

Sorry to snap regarding the refugee part- I hear where you are coming from.
Just took me by surprise I guess.

That's ok . The kangaroo meal i had was roast leg of roo, hung in the tree, and carve as needed, in white bread with tomato sause. The older lady who made the sandwich for me also gave me vegemite on toast for breaky next morning.
I was hitchiking out of Alice Springs with my gituar ( not the one in the avatar) and along came a beat up old EH Holden loaded with people asked if i wanted a ride as they were only going to their land rights camp. I said yes and hence roo sangas . I played my gituar for them that night around the campfire. They dropped me back to the highway in the morning.

I don't own a merc either but it was a story i heard recently .Poeple who look to have it all may really be struggling and if TSHTF then it will be harder for some.

Pretty sure the part about refugees wasn't meant to sound like endorsement, definitely irony.

Good stuff 1%, I'm a born and bred Aussie and everything you wrote here resonates with me. This country needs a shake up!

Your KILLING ME 1%! LOL!

Now try singing it to a Hip Hop Beat with a Computer Sample of Music pulled from that REALLY BAD AUSSIE BAND....that had that old MTV Video of them standing on a Range Rover that was flying throuth the desert at night while the singer I believe stood on the vehicles roof saying....The Time Has Come...to say Fairs Fair...

After seeing that Video and hearing that stupid song about a Million Times I was willing to buy back Austraila and give it to the damn Aboriginies MYSELF!

ANYTHING!....Just to get that Damn song off the airwaves!!!!!!

OUR BEDS ARE BURNEN!!! BURNEN!!!! GAYV AEYT BAYIIEK!!!!! LOLOLOLOL!

I know this band that plays this song about Massachusetts Night Life and since I know Australia I thin it applies to you guy's fairly well.

The song goes.....sing this in Monotone...very quickly and stop for a shot time maybe a tenth of a second after the last word. Imagine a guy playing a guitar in a rapid Metal style of the same cord quickly over and over again only to stop for a tenth of a second after the last word listed is sung just like the vocals.

Well....he we go...the NEW Aussie Anthem....

Well answering your question

Go on !!

Is something aussie farmers say
for encourgement. Have you heard that one before? 1%

reply to post by my1percent

No I haven't heard that one as I guess I have not had much experience in the way of talking with...at least to my knowledge...Aussie Farmers as my travels down under have targeted the places where there would be a concert hall or outdoor stadium.

So you are a farmer? If so what do you grow?

I have a Organic Garden in by back yard that is fairly large. I grow...with the help of my grounds keeper Fernando...various types of Tomatos, all sorts of Peppers, Green and Yellow Beans, Large Flat Italian Green Beans, Long Pole Green Beans which I have grow up a 12 Wooden Two by Two's arranged into a Teepee which is a big hit with any kids that come over as I cut a hole in the bottom Bean growth to form a door and they play Cowboy's and Indian's.

I also....one sec...

Continued.....I also grow Summer and Zuchini squash, Winter squash, 2 types of Water Mellon, Ochra...which is a Pod that grows off a tall stock and is a main ingredient in JUMBALYA.

We have just about every lettuse you can think of and I am big on a Fresh Picked head of Romaine which I use in a Ceasar Salad. Funny but the last time I was in Australia I prepared a Ceasar Salad from scratch using a head of Romaine washed, dryed and cut into 3X3 inch squares along with sliced black olives, Ceasar Crutons and I made the Ceasar Dressing from scratch as when my band tours the big thing on the bus is Fresh Made Ceasar Salad topped with Grilled Chicken Breast or Grilled VERY LIGHTLY...REAL AHI TUNA marinaded with soy, sesame oil, minced fresh garlic, lime juice and ginger.

The Ceasar Dressing is made by cracking an egg into an OAK bowl then using a wisk or in my case a large fork in order to mash the fresh minced garlic placed in earlier against the oak bowl to obtain the oils. The fork keeps on wisking as X-Tra Virgin Olive Oil is slowly drizzled in with the egg and as the fork continues to wisk oil into raw egg...a mayonaise begins to form. Added to this is Parmisiano Reggiano...the very best Parm Cheese on Planet Earth...as well as prior to wisking I put into the oak bowl a teaspoon of Dijon Mustardas well I mash fresh garlic and either whole anchovies or if on the Bus...Anchovie paste....as this dressing begins to become a thick mayonaise like substance I add some fresh squeezed lemon juice. I do it then as to get a better handle on how acidic I want it. Also a good amount of fresh ground Black Pepper as well as a pinch od Sea Salt.

It is important to use only Fresh Romaine that has been washed to rehydrate the leaves as well as make certain to dry the leaves before adding the dressing. If the leaves are not dry all this work will be not enough to make up for leaves that will not allow dressing to attach itself to as this changes both texture and taste.

I place the Cut Romaine Leaves into the Oak Bowl adding also now dry sliced Black Olives...pitted and preferably Californian...a good amount of Ceasar Crutons which I buy because it's easier and they consist of both Rye and Pumpernickle Breads...and toss being sure to coat the romaine leaves completely. Then I add some freshly grated Parmisian cheese to top it as well as a bit of Sea Salt and more Fresh Ground Black Pepper. Then atop it I add either the Chicken or the Ahi Tuna and top it with a bit more Cheese and Pepper.

This is an AUTHENTIC AMERICAN DISH and although it is available all over the world...as well as uses Italian Parmisian Cheese...it is still ALL AMERICAN and besides...we Americans don't bust the chops of the Italians by telling them and everyone else that TOMATOES are native only to the Americas and Italy had to wait until the seeds were brought back to Europe and Italy after the discovery of the New World.
