Wow. Good that you should make that connection. Our national anthem is Advance Australia, composed by Peter Dodds Mccormick. Not many Aussies know the artist, but they will all tell you waltzing matilda is a national song but not the anthem. Maybe you should do a little research or confirm your theories. But I'll try to not throw an insult back.Xsmoker said:OK, I'll spell it out. In the beginning of the thread whilst fauxpas and I were flaming each other he refered to me as a toothless, brain-dead banjo player.
It was the mention of the word BANJO that reminded me of the Australian, although disputable, National Anthem written by none other than BANJO Paterson. Drum-roll please------Waltzing Matilda

Don't misunderstand us - we understood your tenuous thread of logic. We just weren't impressed. The Australian way of paying disrespect is a little different from the American style.Xsmoker said:OK, I'll spell it out.

alienator said:I'd like to apologize for my fellow Americans and their infantile sense of humor. You can see, by the current state of the world and certain world events, the predominant American style of insult.
Xsmoker said:No need to apologize for me, you scorpion lickin' cactus muncher...And who are you to diss American foreign policy? Don't you live in a State we stole from the Mexicans?
alienator said:Is that the best you can do?
Xsmoker said:OK you asked for it!!, you scorpion lickin' opposum guttin' government cheese eatin' stool pushin' land stealin' cactus muncher..

His replies do not need to be deep. They are concise and to the point. He is not throwing around weak insults, and the 'do sheep feel safe around me' is reserved for new zealanders.Xsmoker said:Judging from the depth of YOUR replies it would be safe to assume that you were never a member of a debating team.
