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!!!

That's so weird - I described tim-tams exactly that way kinda in a blog about having a bad day last week - gotta love tim-tams especially as straws.
but the tia maria ones are not as nice - and the double coated are too hard to bite off and suck coffee through.

As for the Aussie/Yank thing - I'd also be interested in hearing your perceptions. I once had someone ask me if I had a pet kangaroo.

And O-NJ - she's been in remission for about 10years now, her daughter is bringing out her own CD sometime this year.

Other famous exports besides Nicole (though technically she's American - born in Hawaii, Heath, Naomi (born in UK) and Hugh

Frances O'Connor - she was in the Importance of being Earnest
David Wenham - Lord of the Rings
Richard Roxborough a SCORE of movies including Moulin Rouge

we can also claim Melissa George of Alias, Jonathon LaPaglia and Anthony LaPaglia of Without a Trace and his co-star Poppy Montgomery, Portia deRosi was Amanda Rodgers when she was an Aussie, oh Simon Baker (simon baker-denny of home&away/estreet fame)

Actually it's a hobby of mine - watch American/British television and spot the Australian.

I know we were SO jipped!!!

As a Melbournite who do you support Mugz? I'm a devoted Lions fan - Nick also likes the Pies (his best friend is a devoted Collingwood supporter meanwhile bottom of the ladder!)

Definitely rent PB!! (I own it on video and 3 disc movie cd - I really should get it on DVD hmmm birthday coming up....)

Oh and Brisbane YES - infact I'm one of Teegstar's best friends and if you read Wayne's blog about the best party crowd etc it was my house in Indooroopilly he was at (and my husbands)
