Naomi,
You have my sympathies, TAM! Australia is on my wedding anniversary and theWonderfulTeacher said. “Go, you’ll have a great time!” Think she wants to get rid of me.
It should be a fun ride the 800ks from Melbourne to Sydney.

Awww, come ON… there’s finally something like this in my home city, and I’ll be in bloody America!

(26th-28th, I’ll be at my friend’s place in Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving. And JUST to rub it in… my birthday is the 28th, too!)

What we really need is some sort of network of some type composed of these newfangled computering engines that could allow you to get delicacies from around the world delivered to your doorstep. Can you imagine such a thing?

BA says “And you can bring me back Minties.”

The implication here is that you’re not coming?
*pouts*
I hear that the BA actually loves musk sticks more. When he says Minties he means musk sticks. Send him heaps…

Tim Tam slammer….Bliss.

Instructions
Bite both ends off Tim Tam and eat. Do not share.
Place one open end of Tim Tam into choice of beverage (alcohol generally).
Place other open end of Tim Tam in mouth and use as straw to drink chosen beverage.

NB if you choose a hot drink be aware that Tim Tams loose structural integrity very fast. Be prepared to slam the Tim Tam down faster.

Tell you what Phil, I’ll bring Minties to your door next time I visit the USA. I want to go back to Bolder. So it’ll be on my way.

I do not feel like standing on my head so I am staying on the correct side of the planet.

Pie floaters! YUM!

Although that’s more specifically a South Australian speciality.

Beer … & BBQ .. snags, chops, prawns and meat pies and steak sandwhiches and, yes, it is getting near lunchtime and I’m getting hungry.

Looks good – a state or so away but if I can afford it .. I’m considering going. I’d like to.

Question though – the TAM website linked is showing the Middle East there (Levantine coast /Israel / Lebanon / Egypt /Arabia /Red Sea / Meditterean Sea) viewed from space not Australia. Wouldn’t the latter have been more appropriate or is that what they always show?

Then you need to check the Scared Weird Little Guys (Aussies) “come to Australia” song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNEeq5qGh8I

Damnit! My culture has cheeseburgers, hotdogs and potato chips to its name!

“You can tell a lot about a culture by looking at what it eats. Don’t let that put you of coming, though.”

Vegemite? Who the hell cares about Vegemite? Tell ‘em the truth Jack – all we eat here is beer. Come to think of it – that does say a lot, doesn’t it?

Q: What’s the difference between Australia and a pot of yoghurt?

A: If you leave the lid off a pot of yoghurt, it will eventually develop a culture.

Minties? What about our national dish, the mighty Tim Tams? (Named after a winner of the Kentucky Derby, you know.) And Vegemite, don’t forget Vegemite.

You can tell a lot about a culture by looking at what it eats. Don’t let that put you of coming, though.
