How do I get an Aussie accent???
I just came back from taking my daughter to see Kangaroo Jack.
Great movie for kids. 
I think the Aussie accent is sooooooo cool. How do I get me one of those?!?
As well, in the movie it said that there are 20 million roos in Australia. Is that true?? Damn, that's only 12 million less than the entire population of my great country Canada... 
And BTW, I now have a new way to refer to the bathroom - the thunderbox...

As a young fella, my dad would take us roo shooting. It's where I learned to drive. I'd be driving, my younger brother was working the spotlight and Dad would have the 22 aimed out the passenger window.
Not something that I'd do today, but times were different 20 years back.

I was in Aussie for a few days last week and was most imprested with the people, i have been a few times before but mainly just for racing (cycling) where ya do nothing but ride) & have been grown up to think that aussies are well  , but not at all... in fact if the truth be known looks like I am going to be living there (Perth) in 10 or so weeks with a beautiful Aussie School teacher I luv . Its going to take me a while to get used to the spoke though... when she says "six" I will be jumping on her thinking she said something else!
