The Aussie Humour Thread

[Alpo]

Having found that video, I got sucked down the rat hole of watching Knight's Tale videos.

 

And the ending, where the bad guy - Avatar, or something like that - gets knocked off his horse and his flying backwards through the air. He's not wearing spurs.

 

Now I'm sure they didn't have spurs on the stuntman to make it less likely he would spike himself doing that backflip. But a knight without spurs. That's not good.

An outing for this group at an unknown location in South Australia.The vehicle is a 1920 Buick Tourer one of the many cars that had been imported into Australia in chassis form, then the car's body was built by the South Australian company Holden's Motor Body Builders Ltd which eventually produced the Holden car many years later. The company was founded by James Alexander Holden in 1919 and in 1924 the company became the sole Australian car body builder for General Motors with many brands of cars including Chevrolet, Dodge, Durant, Essex, Fiat and Hudson having been imported into Australia.

Never tasted gumbo (isn't a thing down here).....but its ALWAYS sounds soooo nice when I hear it mentioned in movies and TV! 

[Alpo]

Gumbo is Swahili for okra. Which is why gumbo has to have okra in it. Otherwise it's not gumbo.

I read a novel many many years ago

Damn it otto I said many three times

Many many MANY years ago.  This kid decided he was going to make some money by growing sugar beets.

 

Now for them that have never grown the garden, you plant your stuff close together. If you figure there's room for five growing plants, so you only plant five, probably only two of them are going to come up. So you plant 15 or 20 and as they're growing you choose the best looking ones there, and you pull up the others. You thin them out.

 

And when he thinned out his beets he would throw them to the pigs. Said that winter when they butchered the hogs, that was the sweetest pork they had ever eaten.

[Rip Snorter]

Sugar Beets are not a garden crop, but a commercial one.  Endless processions of semi trailers near overflowing to the processing plant at harvest time.  The leftover beet mash is often sold for cattle feed.

I thought somebody said before that your beetroot is like our pickled beets, but this says sweet. I don't like pickled beets but I'd try it anyway, if this is not pickled I think I'd like it way better. One more question, do you put your slice of pineapple on it before you take it off the grill so it soaks in?

The stinging tree, also known as the gympie-gympie, is a plant found in Queensland, Australia that is known for its extremely painful sting. 

Species:

Dendrocnide moroides

Also known as the gympie-gympie, this species is found in the rainforest areas of Australia. It is considered to have the most painful sting in the world. 

Dendrocnide excelsa

Also known as the giant stinging tree, this species is common in Queensland rainforests. It can grow up to 35 meters high. 

Characteristics: 

The leaves are large, pale green, and hairy.

The leaves have silica-tipped, hollow hairs that give them a soft, velvety appearance.

The fruit is small, nut-like, and borne on fleshy stalks.

The sap is clear.

Pain:

The sting can cause debilitating pain and possible hospitalization. 

The acid-burn sensation can linger for several months. 

A casual split-second touch on an arm by a leaf or stem is enough to induce pain for hours or days. 

Danger: 

In rare cases, the sting can lead to death in dogs, horses, and humans.
