CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

Being new, I don't know anyone, or where they're from!!!
I'm Kate, I'm from Perth in Australia. we call the toilet a thunderbox or a dunny, usually just the can though.
I add u to the words colour and armour.
I call Yellow Labs, Electric Yellows.
ICH is called White spot in Australia.
I think that's every difference lol.

So, Who is everyone and where are ya from n stuff??!!

And excuse the upfront attitude. That's not aussie that's just me!

And I'm not teasing america!!! I just like to joke around....

So, Who's who in here!!?

I'm from good ol' Southern California, we didn't know there's any intelligent life-forms outside the golden state

That's ok we didn't conceive the notion of intelligent life outside our own golden heads ha ha!

i luv stirring yanks ,,,especially the pink power ranger thing they call football LMAO

Anyone who knows me knows Im kidding around.

Well, yea but the pink power rangers grew up play'n rugby, they've just grown up now and moved on

I live in the state of confusion I pay enough taxes I should own the whole state now

Some other people call it Ohio, U.S.

I believe you need to learn real footy. It's more manly because there's no cheer leaders. and cheer leading as a sport??? What the!!????!?!?

AFL guys, it's where the footy's at. When I take a holiday over there I'll bring a footy, a carton of carlton draught (beer) and four 20 foot poles. It'll turn the country around!!!

So do americans know many of the aussie states and territories? That's right, we have two names, don't know why. We only have 7 states and 2 territories, but they're bigger than yours! Even texas

Hey, so what, we got Alaska which is over twice the size of Texas but everything is STILL BIGGER in TEXAS
No, cheer leading is not a sport, but watching cheer-leaders is! (No cheerleaders? No wonder nobody here's seen a rugby match!)
Good luck with us naming your territories, be thankful we can find your continent on the globe

Gee, it's only the biggest island/continent/country in one. Same size as USA if you don't count Alaska. Only problem is the majority of the country looks like the surface of mars. The rest looks nice but is populated by venomous everythings.

over here AFL is the arena football league,where all the guys not good enough to play real football play


[quote]So do americans know many of the aussie states and territories?[/quote]
come on now we've got TV here
crikee this bloke thinks we don't know anything


[quote]The rest looks nice but is populated by venomous everythings[/quote]
I'd help clear those out for you but you guys have that dang export ban in place



[quote]especially the pink power ranger thing they call football LMAO[/quote]
HAHAHA I seen I think it was called a Nabb cup game from last year (don't get current games here)
Let me put this nice but plain those little guys would get smashed in our football leagues.
The pink power ranger thing is needing a pinkish football for daytime and a yellow one for nighttime


Guess thats why our football is expanding ,mexico in 2005 , london in 2007 canada (multiple games 2008)

exibition games already been playing in asia,europe , mexico and canada.
Superbowl being begged for at Wembly stadium in the future.
And [b]by 2012 the NFL may hold a game in ANZ stadium - know where that is?[/b]

Before we get to far...
Lets not forget poor Ben Graham , he switched football types since our football was easy , he made it 1/4th of a 1/4th of one game before he decided he couldn't play offense and defense in our football because the impact(s) are too much

Then he took the least physical position in our football,punter.

But he did try some other playing and in 4 years he ran for a total of 2 yards HAHAHA and then he got benched.
So much for the former superstar Geelong fullback

Saverio Rocca is following the same path
Thats just two guys who made teams not those who came all the way here and couldn't make a team.


We've also got
United States Australian Rules Football League (USAFL) here (almost a 50 team league) which most people rarely talk about because good football players here go to (in this order usually) The NFL (our football) , then arena league if they don't make that , next the european arena league, then the cfl (canadian football league) if they can't make an arena league or their offered more money , then previously for a while the XFL (extreme football league) then they take coaching jobs if none of that works some head to the USAFL .

They seem to give away a lot of USAFL tickets on the radio so I guess there just isn't a big fan base here.

We also have womens footy http://womensfooty.com/ <--[quote]Women's Australian Football Association
Chicks play footy too![/quote] Thats the only one I ever commonly hear refered to as "footy" here.



[quote]Gee, it's only the biggest island/continent/country in one.[/quote]
not so


[quote]Australia is a continent located between the Indian and Pacific oceans.It is the worlds smallest continent, but the sixth largest country in the world. [/quote]

[quote]What is the world's largest island?
At 840,000 square miles (2,175,590 km2), Greenland is the world's largest island.
Although Australia also meets the definition of an island (a piece of land surrounded by water), it is a continent and not an island.[/quote]

I'm a girl.


[quote="stilllearnin"] Gee, it's only the biggest island/continent/country in one.

[/quote]


school lied to me, but it's the biggest all of those {in one}. So technically I am still right, and yes it may be the only one. Greenland is not a continent. So I believe I'm still correct in what I said. let's rephrase, australia is the biggest land mass that is an island, country and continent at the same time.


As for superbowl, we have grid iron here too, on tv ha ha. 49ers anyone? dad's team.




Thanks for the welcome, been here a couple of years now!

LoL, you really got Stilllearnin going with that AFL Footy But your "surface of mars" comment gives me good idea, when Australia gets to small for all you convicts we can ship you to Mars , we'll include the venomous everythings for free in case they're scarce on Mars

Ok, on a more serious note, I think rugby would be interesting to watch but I noticed from some videos that the rugby players aren't as big as football players here, maybe that's because they're mostly white guys, not sure how they'd feel about getting crashed into by a huge 6'7" 350 pound black guy (with no soft fat, just thick big bones) with no protective gear. Sure, when everyone you crash into is the same size as you maybe you can get away with it, otherwise plan on starting the game with double or triple number of players so you can quickly replace the ones on the way to the Hospital.

I prefer soccer anyways, the only REAL FOOTBALL

[quote]I'm a girl. [/quote]
opps , my bad seen you talking about "manly" footy so I just guessed



[quote]LoL, you really got Stilllearnin going with that AFL Footy[/quote]
Na
I was bored,trieing to stay awake and figured I'd razz them back a while.


Someday I'd actually like to make it to Australlia but not for any "footy" the "venomous everythings" have more interest to me

your partially right
[quote]australia is the biggest land mass that is an island, country and continent[/quote]
can't be both an island and a continent
don't worry I could careless I'm landlocked,just messing with you.


[quote]Thanks for the welcome, been here a couple of years now! [/quote]
doesn't count
you didn't make a post from Dec 2006 until March of 2008, must be how I missed it all I noticed was some new posts after I missed some time getting my comp fixed earlier this month.

So then welcome back


[quote]Anyone who knows me knows Im kidding around.[/quote]
Not me , I took offense and that made me have to post just for the sake of keeping this thread going


[quote]I prefer soccer anyways, the only REAL FOOTBALL [/quote]
ACK

Never knew you were a soccer fan

Does soccer cause violence?
Or do soccer games break out in the middle of violence?

I prefer the straight forward version WWE



Who needs politics the world can argure sports

Aus is a really nice holiday destination...And screw being land locked. 30 minutes from the beach, OH YEAH!

On a more serious note...Tennis anyone?

3 minutes from the beach, California...." OH Yeah!
