1. The Platypus - Evolutionists say that this duck-billed beaver is headed for extinction, because in 20 million years it has made no effort to interbreed or adapt new skills. They are also increasingly concerned about Kylie Minogue. 2. Vegemite - Australians turn out great food. Strangely, however, they also crap in jars and sell it as sandwich spread. Vegemite is a foul-tasting brown paste of yeast and salt. Packed with Vitamin B, it would be good for you if you didn't keep barfing it all over your shoes. 3. 'Strine - Or Australian for the local slang. Men are called "Bruce" and women are "Sheilas". In the arvo they might have a "barbie". "Grub" goes in your "bunghole", perhaps while you're swigging a "stubby". Ewww. 4. Crocodile Dundee - Picture Russell Crowe, but with less talent and more testosterone. OK, that's an orangutan. Move one more level down the food chain, though, and there's Paul Hogan. In 1986, Hogan played Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee, an Australian blowhard swinging a machete. He was supposed to be a misfit in New York City. He fit in just fine. 5. Men at Work - In 1982, Men at Work released the single "Down Under", a tribute to their homeland in which they stressed the prevalence of beer and throwing up. Bewilderingly, America made it number 1 and voted the band a Grammy for Best New Artist. |
