Aussie's Rule JoeUser!!!

dont worry - it's not unilateral authority!

Published on April 29, 2004 By Muggaz In Blogging

This is just a big shout out to all the Australian’s here at JoeUser – I think you will find there are a few of us, and generally we are well liked and somewhat respected members of our little community, not unlike our country on the International scale!!! Hehe…

First of all let me shout out to Mignuna – She hails from a much warmer part of Australia than me, and she has one of the most genuine and loving personalities I have ever encountered online. Her and I are definitely kindred spirits, and we see eye to eye on many an occasion. Whenever I post a comment or article which hints at me needing advice, she always knows what to say – All you foreign guys, if you were ever interested in an Australian chick, Mig is the down to earth wholesome beauty you have always dreamed of!!! Too bad she is married huh?

Next is my good friend Mack. Mack lives in Australia’s premier city Sydney – I only say premier for the internationals sake… Sydney will never have anything on Melbourne

He is also someone who I consider a kindred spirit – yeah, he may *claim* to be polish, but he is as Aussie as a snag on the BBQ with a beer in hand. I get along famously with Macky, and I have a lot of respect for him, we are so different in so many ways, yet he understands exactly where I am coming from, and I would like to think I know what he is about as well.

Followed by the glorious Teegster! I don’t know Teegan as well as I know the former, but it certainly is reassuring to see her blogs about Australian popular culture and local figures, I don’t know, it’s not that I am home sick around here, It does feel good to see something I recognise instantly though, rather than something on Northern American pop culture in which I have no idea. Teegs is a real bubbly and friendly personality, and it is my observation that she is well liked among the JU community. She lives in Brisbane – Australia’s third largest city, I bet she is experiencing some sun right now while it is raining here in Melbourne!

Theophilus Thistler is a dude who I don’t know so well, also from Queensland, although lately I have seen his head bop up a bit more frequently. He loves the same music as me, and as he quipped, we do relate quite well on most issues, check his stuff out if you get the time!

Wreckless Eric is a newer addition to the site… He is a really funny guy! He grew up not far from where I used to live, and we have this shopping centre near by where all the hoodlums hang out – It was called Westfield Shoppingtown, and those that live in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne all know this. I have affectionately termed him as a ‘Shoppo Thug’ when you need some gangster’s help – call 1800–SHOPPO! He saw the light (literally) and moved north. It’s my understanding he works in a hostel, It shows in his friendly personality

The newest edition to our elite team is Gothic Impulse, I can’t really comment too much on her yet, I just know she seems to have a kind soul, and I look forward to her input on various events and antics! I am 100% certain she is a champion, because she calls Australia home…

I don’t think I have left anyone out… I wonder how many frequent bloggers their actually are here at JU? Our little community is growing day by day, and reading over the names above, I am re-affirmed in my belief that Australian’s are the best!

As an Australian, I must thank JU to opening my eyes to the broad international community. I was never an ignorant person, I pride myself on my ability to learn and adapt, however – learning about international events and concepts from average Joe’s and Jill’s from across the world has really broadened my horizons, and helped me better understand world events.

Before November last year I was firm in my belief that ALL Americans were closed minded power hungry fools… some people here did re-affirm that belief, but I generally realised that not all Americans were this way, and the ones that are this way, I better understand where they are coming from...

I hope myself and the other Australians here are accepted within the community, and I am honest when I say, sometimes it’s a bit tough to follow what’s going on when it doesn’t directly relate to us. I am sure I am not speaking for myself here when I say I do enjoy this site immensely, and the international community is very appealing.

I hope you all acknowledge that all Australians are cool because, well… we all are

This is just step one in Australia’s plan for world domination… I hope you all realise this

BAM!!!

....and me.

There's a blog topic for you Muggaz...

"What are your perceptions of Australia, having not been there?"

Think you'd get some interesting answers there..

G'day Muggaz!!!

I'm here on JoeUser too: fangface.joeuser.com. I'm an Aussie (from Wollongong/Sydney) living in Seattle, WA now. It's great to see so many Aussies here.

We should set a time, break out the Tim Tams and a couple of cold VBs and all of us shout out together.

Of course, "Aussie, Aussie Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi" is a standard.

well done, muggaz !. i had no idea we had so many of "us" on here.

my hubby recently taught my sisters' small daughter to say "aussie, aussie, aussie, oi , oi ,oi". (she was born in germany and still lives there. they were here visiting).

my sister was mortified, but i found it almost unbearably cute.

welcome, compadres. do drop by anytime ... and (as joel so kindly offers) have a tim-tam or two

Errmm...excuse me for butting in, but what are Tim Tams?

Tim Tams are a slice of heaven. They are chocolate biscuits with chocolate cream in the centre COATED in chocolate. They now come in a variety of flavours.
I have been sending them to friends all around the world and I'm glad to say I have created quite a few addicts.
Part of the world domination plan.

original, caramel, tia maria, dark chocolate, double chocolate, maybe more ....bite the ends off and suck your coffee through them. mmmm mmmm mmmmmm

Wow! That's a lot of chocolate...the Tia Maria ones sound awfully good though....

ohhhh, dharma, you have no idea what you're missing.

i love the new "double-coat" tim-tams (yes, they have twice the chocolate coating on them).

there's not an aussie woman alive that hasn't eaten her own bodyweight in tim-tams at least once as "therapy" for relationship woes.

WOW!!!! This is awesome! Hi Joel!

I was thinking of maybe starting an Aussie Blog Group! tell me what you guys think, and we will get one going! This is where our Northen Hemisphere friends can learn a bit more about our friendly/crazy/sexy Australian ways, in one centralised location!

BAM!!!

I had a thought the other day - it was pretty random and would never happen by its very definition but I was thinking about football (AFL) and how cool it would be to have another country to play against so we could get alot of the best players from all the teams into one Autralian side....---Of course you could just have all the Lions in that team and you'd HAVE the best but yeah.
