Maybe if we're still talking in three or four years it will be worth the expense :tongue:
In human timescales? That's no a whole lotta time. ;D Better get cracking on finding that job, eh?
Beer is definitely a good thing to offer. Please no American beer though - I've heard bad things about American beer :wink:
As patriotically and proud minded of my country of origin? I am of the mindset that we still cannot get EVERYTHING right. Beer is one of those things we somehow forgotten to make properly too. That is not to say that there are some micro brews made locally, and a handful of nationalized brands that are just not brilliant in of themselves - but the average beer you get when asking for "just a beer" I would not irrigate septic tanks with. My tastes tend to lean more towards German, Warsetiner Dunkel - that's my swill of choice - other dark brews, stuff so yeasty it has to be chewed OUT of the bottle. Oh, and real beer DOES NOT come in cans, or bottles with "twist caps". Sorry - I stepped on a lot of toes there with that one, but that's my opinion. ;D
Oooh, there's something very sexy about skinheads. I think it's the roughshod, bootlugging bit.
God forbid then you spot your first "Redneck". ;D Easily identified by sunburned skin and face - premature wrinkles from work outdoors day and night - perpetual layer of filmy grime on everything they own and touch. (They are just marking territory when they shake hands you know. ;>) Let's see - some industrial Agricultural equipment manufacturer's logo on hat, truck sticker or double-wide belt buckle. Oh and the shitkicker's they wear. Look like shit, smell like shit - they've BEEN in shit to their knees and the boots look it. ;D Quite pleasant folk too when you get to know one. Alas, certain phrases must be avoided.
"Did you hear the BBC report on Iranian women persecution on National Public Radio this morning?"
That's too intelligent, and outside of the scope of learning since they all speak FOX News-ese. You'll get punched if you're lucky, dead stone cold shot if you're not. Life in the South US is graaaand. ;D (Now hides to avoid the ban hammer, if this does not get him nailed, nothing will)
I'd soon cure you :biggrin1:. Lucky, you aren't one to act impulsively though. I'd get a bit of a shock if a fox showed up on my doorstep tomorrow :smile:
Now, now - do not go fixing what is not BROKEN. That is a fail-safe placed there on purpose you see. Tweak and fiddle too deeply on a fine tuned and emotionally balanced thing and they get all psycho-crazy El Super Beasto sex-demon on you and then nobody's happy and all of the neighbors are impregnated. ;D And it will be ALL YOUR FAULT!!

Though if you ask nicely, I might let you see what happens when you press the right buttons. ;D Purely for...scientific reasons of course! *clears throat*
No worries there - even if you were my next door neighbor I simply just...do not behave like that. EVER. I know what it is like to have someone unwanted literally show up the next day at your doorstep. And....being there when you turn around after closing your car door in a parking lot at a mall 25 miles away. Aaaaaannnd - forget it. It's unpleasant. I did not like it, and I would not visit that sort of bothersome behavior on another.
Aussie audiences are surprisingly open with that sort of thing.
American audiences are too uptight and for all the wrong reasons. Sex - verboten. Yet if it bleeds, curses, screams, displays tragically ill mannered and wantonly destructive behavior, it's on the 5:00 PM news.
When has a slipped nipple or a profiled but concealed weenie HURT ANYTHING?! Yet what's pushed to the masses here? The violence, the murder, the drugs, the rampant, psychotic behavior of corporations. And they wonder why kids are so fucked up these days. It's not the video game, I can tell you that much. ;D Meh, I am depressing myself.. but that's it in a nutshell and what life amongst the simpler folk you meet can be like down where I am at. *That is why stay in - build gas turbines... *
More suggestions from my brother (was talking to him about your post):
Doug Anthony All Stars
Ugly Baby - Stephen Lynch (this is one of my favourite comedy songs)
Got it, my pirate's chest is not yet full of the bounteous booty you have suggested but - I'll be leading a raid before the weekend. My little brother and I and his friends have little challenges about whom can download the neatest, earliest release of stuff on the internet. We drag laptops, thumbdrives, whathaveyou to one spot, plug it all together and.. well, nerd bond.

Thanks for the suggestions!
