Well now , here we are on a Monday in Australia and on this day we welcome @Lauren to our little but growing Group.
@ Lauren is from Texas, that littlish State down near the Gulf Of Mexico btw, Welcome to aussie sceptics friend Lauren.
You will find that we Aussies are often a 'weird mob' from time to time, we have a habit, be it good or bad, of saying things as we perceive them to be, especially when it comes to religions, politics/politicians and the myriads of Dills, Drongos, Dip-shits, Oxygen Wasters, etc, etc.
So, if you fancy doing a bit of verbal arse-kicking, shit-slinging, etc, etc, then you have most definitely come to the right place, so have no fear, just have at it, don't hold back, just give them what they TRULY deserve and do it ALL in Spades.
Hey, don't worry I won't.
At a rough guess I'd estimate that at least 99+% of the world knows about Texas and Texans....LOL.
Oh yeah, just check out the membership list and you'll find us represented.
@Coffeo I confess to my familiarity being pretty bare bones and mostly gleaned from television shows and movies, but I switch between being tremendously bored with the US, and being greatly unnerved by it, so I thought I would check out someplace more interesting. Texas is a large state in the US, and I'm in the northern part.
Hey, what's with the " think there are still some Aussies here, too" bit?
I seem to be getting the impression that, perhaps, you may want/desire our Group to be more, shall we say, a somewhat Discriminatory, Aussies ONLY "Club" of sorts?
Ergo, IF you think/feel that YOU ay do a far, far better job as a PURELY Voluntary Moderator, then let us does this 100% Democratically and HOLD a Referendum of the Membership, take a Vote on WHO the members think SHOULD be the PURELY Voluntary Moderator by posting either a Yes or No and I shall step down most gracefully when the votes are tallied up.
Oh, and btw, I was making a JOKE, you know what a joke IS I hope, about Texas.
@Lauren Stick around and we may well just teach a whole lot more of the 'Strine' language...LOL.
Phrases like,
A Swagman's breakfast = "A drink, a Fart and quick look around"
"It was so bloody cold last night, I had to chip the dog off the post this morning",
" Trouble and Strife" = the Wife,
" Billy lids," = the kids,
"Fart sack," = the bed,
"Hammer and tack", = your/my back,
" Plates of meat", = Feet.
