Hey -
You can tell your mum that our farm (like most other Aussie farms) has Merino sheep. Apparently they're the best for wool, but we eat them too...

I'll check my email soon, okay?

(Hi Ford!)

wORK YOU STUPID COMPUTER!!
(hi fred and midnight!)
cheers

Man, if you were a vegetarian at our place you would starve. I'd never eaten tofu before I came to boarding school... but I like my meat. I don't really like the fact that it's dead animals I'm putting into my mouth, but I just don't have the guts to go green...

ya... i kinda am... living in ranch land usa its kinda hard not to have steak! we dont have one vegeterian restraunt in elko so I still eat beef and some chicken... and fish! i like fish! but we never get it in the desert uness it swims up the humblot... inside joke.... um... but ya... thats all i eat.. DONT EAT CHICKEN NUGGETS OR HOT DOGS!
cheers

Yeah, well I try not to eat hot dogs either - you never know what's gone into them...

"they take the pig and grind from nose to tail! if your luckey youll get the butt hole!"
nevadan vegitartan attitude towards hot dogs!

In Australia I think they put all sorts in it - kangaroo and cow and cat and dog and chicken and sheep and koala... you name it, it's in there. But seriously, have you ever eaten kangaroo? It's delicious. They sell it in some supermarkets here.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thats wrong on all levels of grossness! kangaroo? doesnt it make you jumpy? :P... GROSS!
cheers

What's wrong? The hot-dogs or the kangaroo thing?

But kangaroos are pests here, and they sometimes go and shoot them just to get rid of them. Dad hates them because they eat the crops, and if you're driving down country roads at night you always run the chance of hitting one. And they're bloody big buggers too - can completely wreck your car. Dad did it once that I can remember, and our duel-cab was completely totalled.

So why not eat them? They're not poisonous and they taste good. I think it Queensland and stuff they eat crocodile or something, so why can't us Southerners eat kangaroo?

its like americans eating rats! BLEH!

bloody big buggers

Ive been waiting for you to say that! ITS SO COOL!
cheers
ford

Hehe - waiting for me to say "bloody" or "bugger"?
But it's true - they are bloody big, and they bugger up everything. Stupid roos (although my footy team is the North Melbourne Kangaroos, so I can't complain about them all the time. Except the Roos keep losing nowadays. I remember they won the Grand Final back in about 1998 or something... but that was ages ago.)
Aussies do use expressions like that - that's one of those we actually do use.

BOTH! its so funny!! Aussies have the BEST sayings!
cheers

It's like Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel from the Simpsons
