Re: The Love Thread (Or Just Warms and Fuzzies)

You know, with all this talk of Australians taking others ides and then improving them I have to ask... Was Steve Jobs in any way part Australian?

i love the vast quantity of information available on the internet

You're giving Steve Jobs too much credit. He was a marketing genius, nothing more.

Australia has plenty of its own inventions, like the bionic ear.

There's also the boomerang. And the didgeridoo. And Vegemite. And Bundaberg Rum. Also you've (collective use of "you") been a big boon to Hollywood, not only with quality flicks like "Crocodile Dundee," but also with many of our biggest stars, including Nicole Kidman (hot) and Russell Crowe (awesome).

You also gave us the phrase, "put an extra shrimp on the barbie," with the tourism commercial from the 80's. I understand, however, that the term "prawn" is used vice "shrimp" in your country. Also you gave us the excellent Men at Work song, "Down Under" (which is where I first learned about Vegemite). Good stuff.

I'm not quite sure if I should thank you for Outback Steakhouse or apologize for its existence. The Australian-themed American restaurant chain is one of the places that is responsible for my love of mutton chops, but I don't think the restaurant has many ties to Australia itself except imported Foster's and a few other brews. It now has franchises worldwide, in places like Japan, claiming to represent Australian food. So... thank you and/or I'm sorry.

Australian's enjoy the irony.

Also you missed out hugh jackman and heath ledger. Then pavlova as well. The ute (or pickup as you say in americaneese).

Vegemite you say? Marmite I say!

...

Actually, no I don't I prefer my Vegemite over Marmite... They don't really sell it a lot of place in Norway though (if any) so I get some from the family

Yes, because after all, he didn't invent the iPhone. Those came from God.

You wouldn't credit the CEO of IBM for the creation of PC, would you? Sure, some of the ideas may have come from him, but that doesn't mean he should get all or even large part of the credit for it.

I'm more making reference to the whole Westboro fiasco that went down when they were making plans to boycott his funeral...using iPhones to twitter to one another. When confronted about it, the daughter of the head of the church said something like Jobs didn't invent the iPhone, God did.

Yeah, these people protest military funerals all the time. I do not understand these hardcore "Christians" picket a funeral, of all things. I suppose I can tolerate their belief that homosexuality is evil, while respectfully disagreeing. Picketing at a funeral, though, is completely ineffective. No one's going to change their mind and cancel the funeral.

I think the quote attributed to Mahatma Gandhi said it best: "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."

I've had a few friends (Catholic even) that have said "I'd love my religion if it weren't for all the worshipers."

Gotta say, I like that quote.

There's a separate thread for music here.

I'm a big fan of talking things out with a friend. The only thing better would be working things out with a girlfriend, because then you get makeup sex.

And I like the makeup sex.

I love the yarn store here. I only wish they took Visa because then I could be all like "TAKE ALL MY MONIES" and spend another hundred Euros in addition to the almost 40€ I already spent.
