Ha you are right, The Smithkid looks indeed like he still has to grow into his pants.
I insist, though, on Klint being a good name.
Maybe some time in the future you can give more info about why Harris and Hopes are competitors?
Pakistan break the chains!
Sid, that's a reference to Dussey, not a reference to Mitch... after you promised, and everything!!
We don't count Dussey though... obviously once you've given up your WA status you have to do *really* well to get it back again in an honorary capacity.
Also, are you *sure* we're going to get wallopped? I'm wondering if we've reached that critical "oh look, everyone's taking this *seriously*" point.
I must have changed it and forgot ... sorry, Jane.
And walloped?? See forthocming post ... I stand corrected on that one. I think we'll do well.
I remember now, it was originaly a reference to Mitchy, but I changed it because he is not actually a west aussie.
I grew up in Bairnsdale and don't recall that many neo-nazi's.
Sorry, Chris. It was just a joke. I'm sure you Vics have your jokes about how backward us West Aussies are, too.
Thats OK Sid, no offence taken. And why would we Vics make fun of those over in the west when the tasmanians are so much closer?
Well, now I feel bad ... I've been makign fun of Vics all my life :-(
Cheer up Sid, I'm sure he didn't mean to make you feel bad*, just be a bit more careful with how you word Nazi stuff, people are sensitive about it ;)
Wes' latest blog:
((( Kiwis have round butts )))
* maybe he did. He's a bloody Vic after all. *ducks and covers*
To be fair, you shouldn't be offended Wes - it was a joke about Victorians, no one else.
Sid, I do not feel offended, where do you take that from? All I said was people are sensitive about this topic. Simply because it is too huge, has such a lot of potential to hurt someone and also concerns so many people worldwide. That's a matter of fact, has nothing to do with me personally. My own feelings were not included in this comment.
On a sidenote, if I wanted to I could take a lot of offence from it, because in your post you frankly equalise "teutonic" with "neo-nazism" (Cam = teutonic, thus his birthplace = home of neo-nazism). From my experience I can say that this is an association many people make, they are not aware of it, it just exists somewhere in their subconsciousness and comes to the surface without them noticing (your above comment, in which you say that it only affects Victorians, is a fine example of that ;)). But of course I know you would never mean it to an offensive extent, thus, how could I feel offended.
And even if you called me Dachshundmettwurst Nazikraut, I wouldn't care. One sees so many things on the net, especially coming from certain countries. If the insult is not meant in a jocular manner it is usually the best to just lean back and let other readers think their thoughts about the offenders. But people are not always that relaxed... that's why I posted the above comment. I hope all misunderstandings are resolved now :)
