I don’t know if they still do this, but years ago there was an annual Bachelors and Spinters’ Ball at Alexandra Palace in London, for ex-pat Australians.

It was a very fancy affair, everyone in evening dress, the ladies in ballgowns. Of course, everyone got totally wankered on drink.

It was so fancy there was a Vomit Corner. And then back to the dancing. Australians really know how to party.

[quote]I’m the creepy restaurant owner who comes to a flyeroverstan city

We don't have flyoverstan cities. Any place that is called a city is either a capital city or within two hours' drive of one. And two hours is nuthin' in Australia.

I’m that opera house everyone oohs and awws about.

I’m the poor soul cowering in a corner from the humongous spider on my ceiling. I’d run outside but there are poisonous snakes in my garden, man eating sharks, stone fish and blue ringed octopi in my seas. Everything wants to kill you here.

I’m how every statement sounds like a question.

I'm "That Fucking Lady" - the incomparable Coral Browne. When I was married to Vincent Price, we were known as Commerce and Industry because we'd promote anything as long as we got paid.

I was long (and lovingly) known for my industrial-strength profanity and for the lesbian love scene in "The Killing of Sister George."

Her love affairs with men and women were the stuff of legend: "When Coral was near death, the local priest asked Vincent if she had any favorite hymns. And Vincent said 'Yes, she had some favorite hymns. She had quite a few hers as well',"

Olivia Newton-John - It’s Always Australia For Me (1988)

[quote]I'm Nellie Melba.

Well, you were half right.

R139, I can see why you'd call Adelaide Flyoverstan geographically, but its ethos is not drastically unlike that of the bigger eastern cities (apart from the occasional but innovative murdering, for which it is justly famous). Every two years it runs the nation's premier cultural festival, to which arty types from Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne flock in droves. Hence my confusion.

Alice Springs is only a town, as are most regional centres.

I descended from convicts.

I'm a meat pie.

R144 - well, to be fair - so were a lot of Americans.

The American Revolution of 1776 meant that transportation to North America was no longer possible. Sentences of transportation were still passed, with convicts held in prison while the government considered alternative destinations. The prisons soon became overcrowded and extra accommodation had to be provided in derelict ships (or hulks) moored in coastal waters. The solution was to develop new penal colonies in modern day Australia, and on 13 May 1787 the first fleet set sail.

And there was a lot of immigration from England and other European countries post WW2. Not convicts.

No, not a lot of Americans. Avery small number of the overall colonial settlement numbers. Utterly different from the Aussie experience.

R146 When will the quiz be, professor?

I'm a violet crumble!

Violet Crumble is my new drag name.

That’s Violet Beauregard Crumble to you.

Hi Cordelia!

I would not call Adelaide flyover like it was a place to avoid on purpose. It's remote but gorgeous, and the attitudes of locals are genuinely friendly.

It's more West than East in character. SA is starting to gain some recognition as a destination in itself because of the Barossa Valley and Kangaroo Island which has just been voted as having one of the world's best beaches. The SA Premier is also handsome.

I'm the Granville train disaster of 1977.

I'm mentally unstable musical star Debbie Byrne.

Adelaide has a history of antigay violence and weird serial killers. Definitely flyover in the Australian context.

Plus there's this guy

I adore Troy, he's like a character out of "Strictly Ballroom"

R161 I can get all of that just by going around the corner. His shop seems dull…

R161 - LOL - that guy is unintentionally hilarious.

Each room is customized for each client - temperature and lighting control and even you can listen to your own music. So basically, they have adjustable AC, lights on dimmers and a cheap portable stereo. Wow! Such luxury!

I'm Simon Abney-Hastings, 15th Earl of Loudon, living out in Wangaratta.

Those House of Plantagenet lovers believe I'm the rightful heir to the throne!

[quote] The 48-year-old is a direct descendent of George Plantagenet, the brother of Edward IV and Richard III, through his grandmother, Barbara Huddleston Abney-Hastings. Some historians have claimed that Edward was illegitimate and that George, as the eldest legitimate son, should have inherited. In 2004, a Channel 4 documentary entitled Britain’s Real Monarch asserted that Michael Abney-Hastings, the current earl’s father, was, as George Plantagenet’s eldest heir, the rightful king of England.

Probably half of Datalounge is related to the Plantagenets as much as this guy. They weren't as fertile as Genghis Khan but they 've been leaving large litters of children for a lot longer.

I'm a Tim Tam explosion.

[quote]I’m also a duck-billed platypus. I’m ridiculous but cute.

And venomous. Forget that at your peril.

Koalas are not venomous but they've mostly got chlamydia. Tasmanian devils are much cuter than portrayed in the US cartoon, but pat them and they'll take your hand off.

There is really nothing here you can pet once it's weaned apart from the sheep.

R190 you can pet anything in Australia! Taipans, salt water crocs, Eastern Browns, funnel web spiders, cassowaries, etc. Yes, in some cases, you will only pat them once

They are both coveted and derided within the industry. The AACTA awards are the real TV and film awards.

That said, Rivers accepted money plus an all expenses paid trip to Australia to guest on the Logies. Nobody forced her to be associated with them. So it was a pretty graceless performance. Susan Seaforth Hayes was three times as funny.

They couldn’t find an Australian to host Jeopardy Australia?

The Tim Tams might have been for export if they were so sweet?

I'm a Bogan.

R324, I grew up on the East Coast of America — a lot of people called flip flops things when I was a child in the 1970s.

Thongs in reference to a type of sandal was common on the West Coast as well. Flip flops was rather more juvenile parlance. When thong underwear became widely popular in the 1990s, thong footwear stopped being referred to as such.

"Thong" really does connote sophistication.

I was supposed to be the second coming of Heath Ledger, but it didn’t work out that way…

I'm Taronga Zoo.

Ryan Corr's career was sidelined by a heroin problem, R341, so in a way he WAS the second coming of Heath Ledger.

He is still appearing in things, so I hope that's in the past now, but I don't know for sure. He really is a very good actor: I've seen him on stage as well as in Oz shows that haven't travelled.

R344 is he still using the stuff?

I don't know him, R345, so I couldn't say. Hopefully not. It was a long time ago that he stopped work because of it, and as I said, he's been working fairly consistently.

That's me, R344, at R346. Pressed the button by mistake.

I'm gay porn star Braxton Cruz.

I'm Sir Geoffrey Rush, largely forgotten.

^ Geoffrey darlin' we haven't forgotten you, you've just got old.

I'm Sam Fricker's frickin speedo.

He didn't get old, R350, he got cancelled. Getting old wouldn't have mattered: Rush was always a character actor. The result of the sexual harassment charges against him was that he won his defamation case against the media outlet that published it and was awarded nearly $3 million, but the industry turned its back on him and instead made a theatrical star of his accuser. (She was the lead in Dorian Gray in Australia, which was a smash hit here before Sarah Snook took it over to give it name recognition in London.) She's a good actress but not in his class.

Most likely the truth was that young women in the industry had known for a while he was a bit of a sleaze, and when #metoo hit him the directors etc who had always overlooked his behaviour cancelled him to save their own reputations.

I don't know about forgotten, though. I was listening to The Play Podcast from Britain recently and the director of a new production of The Government Inspector was saying he had "found" the Russian playwrights by seeing Rush in Diary of a Madman as a youngster (it toured internationally before Shine was a hit), and being blown away.

OP - did you pronounce it Teem Tam?

An Australian acquaintance here in Canada told me that the proper way to enjoy Tim Tams is to put them in the freezer before eating them, so they become more crunchy.

R356, sadly Andrew has totally fucked up his life with mental health and drug issues. Someone in his large family needs to care more and have him in rehab for longer stints. (Involuntary Treatment, under the law)

R362, common in New Zealand too, maybe even more so as we lack Australia's venomous creatures

Agreed, R362, though it's a lot less common now than it was in the 60s and 70s. It was inspired by the amount of beachside living people do in Australia. It was very common to wander off the sand and into a shop without replacing your shoes. In the summer thongs (as in flip-flops) were absolutely more common in the supermarket than shoes, and are still frequently seen anywhere near a beach, but there's much less barefoot. Possibly because beachside suburbs didn't have kerb and guttering in the 60s and 70s, so you could quickly run across the road and be on grass again. When everything's paved it's too hot to go without shoes.

I'm a hot cuppa.in scorching weather.

R366, Mate...true Aussies only drink beer in the heat. Get it right.

I’m the Milk Bar.

I'm the sexy Beau Ryan!

I'm Mr Whippy which I believe is a Brit import.

I found out later that in my childhood neighbourhood Mr Whippy was drug dealing on the side.

No wonder my dog always went mental when he drove past. I thought it was just that music-box version of Greensleeves, which was the second-most annoying tune in the world after It's a Small World.

Cathy* oops!

We mystifyingly won a gold medal in breakdancing in Paris last week.

I'm all of the Australian animals Raygun said she was impersonating in her Olympic breakdance.

R383 - the drummer was the best one. Alan Sandow. Sandow opted out of the professional music scene after the breakup of Sherbet, and now works for a regional airline in New South Wales.

We're Les Larbey and Margaret Bland's Galaxy of Dance.

R29 Also tell nepo-baby Robert Irwin to come out. Sorry, but I don't believe a shit he's straight

I'm Boomeride

I'm Pat Carroll!

I'm Darren Hayes. I was basically the Australian, turn-of-the-millennium version of Shawn Mendes

The only difference is that at least I had the decency to properly come out cause I wasn't fooling anyone.

Totally agree re Alan Sandow, R390 - it was the hairy chest and the mop of curly hair that did it for me.

Did you ever see the photo shoot that they all did naked except for strategically placed bubbles (as in bubble bath)? Hot for this young queen at the time.

This article has the naked pic.

I’m the surf carnival staged specially for royals visits.

I'm the water in the toilet that flushes in the opposite direction.

The water in the bath swirls in the opposite direction, R411, but Americans keep much more water in the toilet bowl than is common in Australia and thus here it just flushes straight down the pipe. Additional water comes down the sides of the bowl to clean it as it flushes, but there's never enough water in the bowl for a whirlpool to form.

A dog trying to drink out of the toilet in Australia would never be able to, so all those jokes are mysterious to us until we travel to the US and see the difference.

Does every man there end up with skin that looks constantly sunburned? The skin cancer rates must be sky-high.

r427 It is a big problem there, yes.

The ozone is thinner over Australia. So, more UV light gets through.

^ Lol. "Dickaids."

The Aussie (and NZ) accent tickles me.

Thanks, r428, It was a real question and I appreciate the answer.

I'm the Prime Minister who walked into the sea and was never seen again.

I'm every event and everybody in Australian history up to and including the current government. Nobody knows or cares to know about us.

[quote]Does every man there end up with skin that looks constantly sunburned? The skin cancer rates must be sky-high

R427 not every man. Some have the sense to stay the fuck out of the sun and use hats, sunblock etc if they do have to be in it. The younger generation are a lot smarter when it comes to this generally. And yes, skin cancer rates re sky-high, New Zealand has even harsher sun with more UV

As they say in both Aussie and Kiwiland....from the 1980's "Slip, slop and slap". Slip on a shirt, slop on some sunscreen and...slap on a hat. Sunnies are added now too.

I’m the haunting finale of a movie filmed on location in Melbourne.

And then had a public swimming pool named after him.

You can't say we don't have a sense of humour.

His mistress and her daughter were on the beach watching him wade into the surf.

And then he disappeared.

I"m Somerton Man, who proved that Adelaide isn't the goody two shoes town people think

What film is that from R435? I'm intrigued

R439 "On the Beach" about the world after a gigantic nuclear explosion and filmed in Melbourne.

And as was said at the time, "Well, if you're going to film a movie about the end of the world you could do worse than Melbourne."

Thanks R440. Must look for that film, never seen it

I'm the one brim up on my cowboy hat

R442, do you Jackaroos? No cowboys on the land in Australia.

I'm the Grim Reaper AIDS TV commercial.

Wow r444, what a creepy commercial.

Wiki on it.

And Adelaide has gone on proving it ever since, R438. The Beaumont children, Torrens River gay attacks, the brutal murders of zoo animals: and wandering further into the SA hinterland, the Truro and Snowtown murders. It's one creepy part of the globe.

Brisbane is Australia's New Orleans, except nicer.

Sons & Daughters is so good.

I'm all of the Australians who visit the US and complain the coffee is too bitter.

^ bitter you say, I say sock water.

Naur

I'm the time difference. 14 hours to the USA.

Why is Australian coffee different -- different coffee, or different way of making it or ???

Australian coffee is widely regarded as some of the best in the world. It is known for its sweeter, nuttier, and fruitier flavor, likely due to cooler temperatures and longer ripening periods in coffee-producing areas. Australians are discerning coffee consumers, and the country has a strong coffee culture with skilled baristas.

I'm the racist white South African expats who came once the "old days" were over.

Thank you chat GPT/r462.

I came to Whistler for the ski season, and never left.

I'm Simon Baker caught driving drunk.

I'm the terrible brain damage suffered by R448.

And also the fact that fucking Brisbane is nothing at all like New Orleans.

Both have hot and humid climates.

So does Rio, R468.

New Orleans has better drugs. Brisbane has aboriginals huffing paint.

I'd rather be a junkie in a New Orleans jail than king, queen and jack shit of Brisbane.

Both cities are located along major rivers. Brisbane is situated on the Brisbane River, and New Orleans is on the Mississippi River. This influences their culture and economy, particularly in terms of trade and tourism.

Both cities are known for their vibrant cultural scenes. Brisbane has a lively arts and music scene, while New Orleans is famous for its jazz music, festivals, and unique cuisine.

R272, are you mentally deficient.

The Brisbane River is not a major river the way the Mississippi River is.

Comparing their cultural scenes suggests that you have never even heard of culture, let alone either city.

Brisbane is a backwater, whatever its charms.

New Orleans music and culture influenced the world.

New Orleans inherited that culture from Cap Francais when it burned.

R473 having spent time in Brisbane thats fair comment

Brisbane is like what you'd get if you ordered New Orleans off Wish. That said it has its own charms and is probably safer and cleaner than New Orleans

A lot of Aussies do seek seasonal work in Whistler. Given its prominent gay ski week, it is odd that more Americans don't, given it is nearby in Canada. Are American gays anti-ski?

Perth seems like it is a semi-fundie town.

Canberra may have the best quality of life of any capital city in "the west"

Of course it's not as pretty as Wellington...

R480, Central Wellington looks as if it was constructed entirely of fast food litter.

Boise is more architecturally coherent.

I laugh at Americans. Because you give us so much to laugh at.

I'm the new trend of Australian men disrespecting their girlfriends.

I’m universal health care, gun control, female head of state, female head of government and no capital punishment - thoughts, Americans?

Yeah,. Thanks for John Howard, Rupert Murdoch and the revolving right-wing clown show that has been your government for the last thirty years.

We did at least fend off Yahoo Serious.

Ick.

R484 Robert Murdoch has been a citizen of the USA for forty years - your country took him in.

Your problem, nobody else’s.

There are so many dumb fuck Americans on the DL lately.

We welcome back Hells Angel boss Angelo Pandeli from Dubai.

R487...Ah yes The ATO wants a chat Angelo. My you rot in Jail.

R479 Residents of Canberra think it’s the most boring place on earth, some going so far as to liken it an open air prison on the shores of Lake Burley Griifin.

I’m an insufferable coffee snob.

I'm the cancer Elle McPhereson believes to be completely gone after holistic treatment.

No you're not, R494, you're Uluru. Try to keep up.

R493 thanks for proving me right.

Thanks for taking the bait R497.

Every time I think I've read the stupidest thing on the internet, someone like R474 pops up and I am again amazed.
