Happy Australia Day, America! (in Off-topic)

Yes, happy Australia Day. Marks the anniversary of when our country got discovered (Jan 26th, 1788). Basically it's people having a barbecue, drinking beer, festivals and fireworks. Similar to independence day(?), 4th of July?

Yay for Flamey and Australia!!! Hip Hip Hooray!

Have fun! =) Are you allowed to drink yet? I know USA is the only country with the 21 limit.... (Dont understand why we can die defending our country but not drink with buddies when we get back)... Dont wear white with that BBQ! =P

Congratulations on the discovery of a completely uninhabited land!

happy Australia Day from your friendly fellow ex-colony Canada :).

I know I'm going to spend it... Um... Melting in the heat :(

"completely uninhabited land"

what about the aboriginals they were there first you know.
And all hail Abel Tasman!

Good morning, Henk.

Happy Australia Day!

Henk, just ask any good Briton from 1788 - they're just savages, so they don't count.

Well, 5 minutes to the end of it, had a nice time. Though I didn't spend it at a festival (only a few hours) still a nice day. Fireworks were pretty good.

OB, lol at that. It's so true. "You don't speak our language? You must be a freak!"

Happy Australia Day, Flamey! :)

"Yes, happy Australia Day. Marks the anniversary of when our country got discovered (Jan 26th, 1788)"

Aborigines anyone? They discovered Australia 4000 years ago.

Lol no-one cares about the aboriginals

discovered by English people*

20 minutes until it's all over. I didn't really find the fireworks that exciting, either. Maybe I didn't have enough to drink first?

White folks discovered Australia in 1788. They discovered the aborigines [sic] discovered it first in 1992. What they were shooting at prior to 1992 is an official mystery.

I thought that abidiginals (Zoolander, FTW) were kinda like an off-brand kangaroo?


() : )

Happy belated Australia Day? :O.

Happy Australia Day to all those in the future!

btw, Indy... Where's bart's frog?

Bartjan has a frog?

So bang there goes another kanga on the bonnet of the van.

Bast, how'd you figure 1992? o_O

This is soooo belated... but who cares?

Happy Australia Day!

Feel free to look it up!

they got their right to vote in the 60s, so im pretty sure they'd be considered people by then.

I believe (and correct me if I'm wrong Bast) that Bast is saying that in Nineteen hundred and ninety two the High Court of Australia finally "discovered" (decided) that the Aboriginals did in fact discover Australia first. :D

umm.... except the difference between Independence day and Australia day is that the US was discovered way b4 we became independent, and Australia was discovered the same day it was discovered :O
