    All the American and Canadian brethern of the Idiot family have been having meet-ups and having a good old time without us because we're all too far away.

    There seems to be a fairly decent amount of Aussies Idiots here and I was thinking.

    What would everyones thoughts be on an Aussie meet-up? Locations? Dates? There are plenty more people here smarter than me who will have some brilliant ideas I'm sure.

    Heh. I think there's less than 10 active Australian idiots, the ones I know about are pretty fucking far apart, and there's maybe one chick on that list. Are any of us actually going to spend 10+ hours in a car, or fly interstate to meet dudes from the intarwebs? I'd struggle to make the drive from central Brisbane to the 'burbs for that.

    Something just occurred to me that I haven't thought of until just now:

    Scootah, do you have an Australian accent?

    I don't have a Steve Irwin accent or anything. My accent is more like a slightly weird British (south Australian for accent conniseurs), with some Canadian inflections. There's only a few words where I sound like the cliché Australian.

    To be fair, I think 75% of this Board would make the journey if you organised the get together; whether they were in Australia or not.

    No way, I am not falling for this one again. Last Aussie "meetup" I tore my calf when I fled from Scootah's basement.

    I wouldn't.

    I thought I'd want to go to Australia, but according to AlmostGaunt, you guys don't mix salty and sweet.

    Australia sounds like a hellhole.

    It's only an accent when he's not in Australia.

    Well, that's just not true. I've been dunking my fries into my sundae at McDonalds for years.

    Race traitor.

    I suspect any travelling USians would be shocked at our food. I know I'm shocked at yours every time I'm over there. Half/half milk and cream? Peanut butter thickshakes? Pancakes with bacon and maple syrup? Sweet potato marshmallow bukkake abomination casserole? Over here, we keep our courses separate, thank you very much. Now eat your vegetables or you won't get any bacon flavoured icecream.

    Actually, that'd be an interesting thread: most disturbing mainstream-ish American food as judged by the rest of the world. Wait, what was this thread about again?

    Oh yeah, an Aussie meet up. Problem is I think we have about 1 Aussie per state. I'd attend, but I'm in Perth and there's only 1 other gent I know of here. If any of you US / Canadian / Foreign folk want to drop by I have a spare room though. Good time of year to do it actually, this is the beach next to my house.

    Ha. Looks like i live pretty close to you mate. Im in City Beach.

    Given we have 2 idiots in WA, that kinda makes Perth the default location for any meetup. Right? Right.

    Totally fair to ask the others to fly across the country, to the second most remote capital city in the world, for a few drinks with randoms from the interwebs.

    3 people from Perth, all male...

    Scarborough & City Beach? Here I am almost at the end of the Armadale train line, not sure I'd fit in with you two money bags.

    Damn straight. And we can impress our distinguished visitors with the famed Perth nightlife...
    *ahem* yeah, definitely drinks on the beach. Your beach might even be nicer than mine, although you do have a) vicious breaks onto sandbars and b) sharks. What say you, TiBers?

    Archer's beach:
    I like those odds! We can knock back some tinnies and have a chinwag.

    Sharks on the beach too? You can't throw a rock in your country without hitting some vicious/venomous life-threatening animal.

    Seriously, you all post, and it's snakes this, spiders that, jellyfish here, surprisingly deadly kangaroos there. What the fuck? Sharks are supposed to be killing retirees in Tampa. Stop stealing all the good stuff.

    You can keep these. Nightmarish.

    I think I'm the only Tassie here. I'm going to be in Perth on Australia day though....

    Another Perth lad here, except I'm more of a lurker on these boards than an active poster.

    Regardless, any excuse for a few tins is worthwhile in my book.

    Victoria's pubic hair is still Victoria. It's not a real state if you can cover the entire population with a single area code and 5 digit phone numbers.

    Unless Perth has changed dramatically since I was there last, unless there's a festival on, doesn't your night life mostly consist of watching indigenous kids run from the cops? I mean it's better than Darwin or Adelaide (more chicks and less serial killers respectively) - but that's still not much to go on.

    I dunno. I liked Perth when I lived there. I'd love to go back, but holy shit is it expensive to live.
