Aussie Aussie Aussie, OI OI OI!


(Incidentally, I premptively apologise to any members of foreign countries who have to put up with aussies chanting that at 3am; it's the bogans, we try and get them to class up by paying them enough to get out of the poverty tax bracket, and instead, we just end up spreading the pain to you guys as well)

As an Aussie, I can confidently say Scotsmen.

Crocodiles are too terrified to go anywhere near a Scotsman, preferring suicide over the imminent pain.

I voted Scotsman, but as a Scot I'm slightly biased.

The Scottish are pretty awesome with their not-Roman-ness and their not-being-taken-over-ness.

As a half-scottish aussie, I understand the concern that people feel over not knowing who is the more badass.

On one hand, you have a country full of brawny people speaking in incomprehensible accents, and ond the other hand, you have a country full of muscular people speaking in unintelligible accents.

One thing to be noted is that they both come from very dangerous places. The scots live in the frozen northerly reaches of scotland, where you can barely step outside without your extremeties falling off. The aussies live in the bleak expanses of australia, where you can barely step outside without something biting your extremeties off.

Both are renowned for great acts of strength - Aussies wrestle crocodiles and other beasties, whereas the scots toss cabers and listen to bagpipes.

However, I must urge everbody to remember that the aussies in australia today are descended from the hardened criminals of the UK, which includes scotland - They are one and the same.

The Scots are offended by the idea of something between their balls and the ground.

Of course you imagine every man in Scotland has huge muscles and wears a kilt everyday, strengthening his ear drums by listening to the deafening wail of the bagpipes. But really you just walk around poor council estates fighting off the tracksuit brigade and hoping you don't get stabbed.

And when not doing that, you spend every other waking hour hating the English for no particular reason.

Well we are dashingly handsome, I'd hate us if I was a scot and thus lacking in our superior English looks.

This thread is based on stereotypes. Obviously, everyone in Australia wrestles crocodiles and giant man-eating newts every day.

I live too close to Australia to not vote Aussie.
