Where ya from?! (OPEN THREAD)

[dragonrazor]

Raven, there were no Roman Cathloic's during the time of Christ. Catholicism is an offshoot of christianity, which didn't really take hold till after the death of Christ.

Though the Romans were pretty much always evil bastards, I'm guessing that's what you meant.

that too, but the judges were referred to as the Roman Catholic Judges. Not entirely sure why, but they do mention it in the old testament as well. They were the ones who ordered said Crucifixions.

 

[Last_Rider]

huh, which version of the Bible are you using?

 

[dragonrazor]

not entirely sure. It was my aunt's, and it presumably came from her school as a kid. It's got maps in it, which is rare.

 

[monique_minx]

I got this sent to me in an email awhile back, I invite you to 'have a crack' at it, Aussie's are allowed to allude to answers but don't just give it away guys funny as hell!

An Esky is a cooler yes and yes you put the beer in first with the ice on top! It's 'fishing out a cold one'

 

[dragonrazor]

and now we know why companies like HP need lessons in thermodynamics. After all, judging from the design of this laptop, they put the ice in the first

Alright Moni I'll give it shot.
*deep breath*
ok on my fathers side first, grandad was descendant from royal Scottish blood, but he married a lower class German girl, for some reason they couldn't have kids so my father was adopted and it turns out his surname was "Collins" I have yet to determine if thats Irish or English.(if it's obviuse to you don't be offended I havent looked in to it that much.

My mothers side.
grandad was the product of a full blooded Irishman and a full blooded Cherokee mother.
grand ma was descended from french Canadian father and we were never told about the mother( we suspect she was something of an embarrassment)

Close, aspen trees propagate by sending out runner that turn up ward and grow into a tree, they really don't do very well by them self, in fact you have to plant three for them to survive.

[thelittledeadgirl]

New here, saying hi and doing silly quizzes

I'm from somewhere, somewhen and currently make my den in Canada where you're not a real Northerner until you've drank 6 litres of Moonshine, killed a polarbear using only a knife and had sex with an inuit (eskimo) woman. WARNING!! Do not drink the moonshine before attempting the other feats or you'll wander back into the bar covered in polar bear clawmarks, waving a knife around and screaming "Now where's that inuit woman I'm supposed to kill!"

Okay now let's see if I can pass a very informal kiwi test.

1. How many major Islands are there in N.Z.?
3. Australia, New Guinea and Tazmania right? These are all part of NZ right? If they aren't they should be!

d) A crested white dove, symbolising international peace and harmony lying
on a plate with a lovely cheese sauce

3. What is the colloquial term for people of NZ origin?
c) Kiwi's. And I have it on good authority that that's what a New Zealander's pussy tastes like too!


4. What is a Hori?
E) an irritating bastard in Legend of Legaia who looks like an infant and interprets your female character's dreams. He eventaully falls into a crevice and dies. Hooray! All the goddamn sideqeusts to go find him and he has nothing useful to give me... rackem smackem, rumble grumble.

5. What is a Honki?
e) The noise a goose makes after you drop him in a pot and put the lid on, place a rock on top to keep him in there and then place the pot on the fire.

And I believe they've covered a few songs by the Bangles too!

9. What would you do if you had a Weta on your arm?
a) Remark how it complements your floral shirt... wait how'd I end up wearing a floral shirt?!? All I ever wear is black and red and grey. Damn I must've gotten really drunk last night.


10. What are Judder bars?
c) Humps on the road, designed to slow you down and destroy the
undercarriage of your car
Although how humping on the road is detrimental to the undercarriage of your car needs to be explained to me. I mean I know it's risky 'cause you might be runover, but how does it damage the undercarriage of YOUR car? I mean running over a couple of people humping on the road might get body-parts caught in the driveshaft but other than that...

I found this in an old email and I thought it would be a great little addition, please feel free to share your anthems or poems about your country!

Australia Day

Australians are a funny lot, you'll often hear one curse,

How things have started badly, and they'll probably get worse,

The weathers dry, the sun's so hot it's stolen all the water,

The Government has never done the things we think they oughta'.



But if we hear a tourist say his home is much more grand,

They had better be prepared to make a very solid stand.

For although we Aussies may complain at what's become our lot,

When someone knocks this country, we defend with all we've got.



We may criticize some teenage brat, may even wish them failure,

But we stand behind them cheering when they're playing for Australia.

Because, if this is home to you, the country of your birth,

Then you back the native player to beat anyone on Earth.



When the cricket bats are swinging or when someone scores a try,

When a home grown horse has won the cup and made the owner cry,

When some paralympic athlete hits the front and sets the pace,

You'll hear 'Aussie Aussie Aussie' as the crowd goes off their face.



And although we like to take a break in overseas locations,

If you take the time to question this nomadic population,

They will tell you without blinking that wherever they may roam,

The best part of the journey was the last bit, ....coming home.



For the sun was never brighter on the beach at Waikiki,

Than it is on all the sandy shores Australia has to see,

The water never purer nor the air as fresh and clear,

The people never friendlier than those that we have here.



If you venture to the outback where grass is scarce as snow,

As you swelter you may wonder what it was that made you go,

But just look at the locals who have lived there since their birth,

And I know you will not find a better class of folk on earth.



All across this wide brown country from the Cape to Hobart town,

There are people who will help you when you find the chips are down,

And if someone should abuse you, and does it just because,

Then that person's not Australian, and that person never was.



So when you feel disgruntled just remember this rendition,

And never blame the country for the acts of politicians,

Look up and count your blessings when you see our flag unfurled,

And be grateful that you live in the best country in the world.​

Just a side note on my answer to number 5
"5. What is a Honki?
e) The noise a goose makes after you drop him in a pot and put the lid on, place a rock on top to keep him in there and then place the pot on the fire."

Given my partially Irish heritage, here's a good old Irish recipe for duck soup:

Ingredients:
1 duck (alive or dead)
1/2 a pot of water
4 or 5 spuds
2 onions
salt and pepper to taste
whatever's around veggie-wise.

Directions:
Fill the pot 1/2 full of water and drop the spuds in. If there be a lot of clay on the spuds it would be no harm to wash them first. Taking the duck by the neck, place him in the pot and put the lid on tight. Place a large stone on top of the lid for safe-keeping and put the pot on the fire. Chop up the onions and any veggies you happen to have on hand and then put your ear close to the pot and listen. If there be a lot of quacking, you may want to twist the duck's head around once, twice or thrice before you drop in the veggies. Place the lid back on and let it be for an hour if the turf is dry, 2 if the turf be wet and then open the lid and skim off the feathers which ye will find floating on top. Let boil with the lid off for another hour if the turf be dry, (2 if wet) and serve.

Feeds 2-4 irishmen or a dozen normal people.

excerpt from Nell Flaherty's Drake

His neck it was green, and rare to be seen,
He was fit for a queen of the highest degree.
His body so white, it would you delight,
He was fat, plump, and heavy, and brisk as a bee.
A fine little fellow, his beak was so yellow,
He could fly like a swallow and swim like a hake!
"Til some dirty olde savage, to grease his white cabbage,
Made soup fromNell Flahery's beautiful drake!
May his pig never grunt, may his cat never hunt
That a ghost may him haunt in the dark of the nite,
May his hens never lay, may his ass never bray,
May his goat fly away like an old paper kite;
That the bees and the fleas, the wretch ever tease,
The monster that murdered Nell Flaherty’s drake!
