Someone else says this? Be my brother in blasphemy. My other favourite upon great success is "There is a God, and I banged his mum."-Usually upon sinking an awesome 8-ball shot (Cause I'm terrible at 8-ball),JoesshittyOs said:I worked. And it was terrible. Not just "Ahh man, I have to work on Halloween" terrible.
It was "There is a God, and he hates my fucking guts" terrible.
Where did you get that scarf thing? Looks like one of those "gone native" type scarves/keffeyeh type things in lots of military series'. I keep seeing them and I want one, but I'm not sure what to search for.Random berk said:
Really? I live here and I don't hear that from my fellow Aussies. Maybe I just know less grumpy people or something. I do know that not much happens here as its never been a cultural tradition here as it has been in the US, when I was a kid growing up all I knew about halloween was what I saw in American movies or TV shows. Over maybe the last decade or so its kind of become bigger here and you can get a lot of halloween themed stuff in stores, people I know even have parties when it falls on a weekend, though it seems to be less about candy and more about an excuse to drink too much. No trick or treating though, its not forbidden or anything like that, just something that's never really taken off hereLoonyyy said:Got to see a bunch of Australians whinging about Halloween on the internet because:
-It'll make kids fat.
-Because it's American, and Americans are stupid ignorant racist rednecks, and we should ignore everything from America because 'Murica is a thing.
-Because it's apparently tragic that it's happening, and shame on those children having fun.
Its called a shemagh, as far as I know. I got it in a specialised airsoft shop at the arena where my team plays (I have a ragged green and black one that I use for games, but this one looked better). I just checked, and you can get them on Amazon as well. A whole lot cheaper than what I paid as well, thanks to the pirate who runs that place.Loonyyy said:Where did you get that scarf thing?

You probably know less grumpy people. I know some vocally anti-American people who get their disgust with US foreign policy mixed up with the American people, and end up acting like nationalists of the worst sort in pure ignorance. They take those Chaser sections about "Stupid Americans" as being representative of America.Jason Rayes said:Really? I live here and I don't hear that from my fellow Aussies.
