Who's tougher?

[tcarswell]

So ya got a bit of dirt on old clint? lol. By what you say, I have come to the conclusion that Paul Hogan, the bloke who played Croc Dundee, is definatley a tougher, (not to mention, more well humoured) bloke than Clint, lol.

The bbq plate is heated by a flame though.

Oh hell, it's on now!

Just curious, do Aussies know the difference between barbecueing and grilling? 'Cause Yankees don't.

We are the land of the barbie. We have the grill plate and the plate on our barbies. Anything on the barbie is bbq'd. We don't say grilled if you cook it on the grill plate of the barbie, we just call it bbq'd. You might think that means we don't know the difference between a grill and a bbq, but we just might think the same about you. lol.

But we invented barbecue. And there's no grill plate involved. You need a pit, or at the very least a smoker, to barbecue something.

You just took our word and applied it to something different. Just like "goanna". The word is "iguana" and it's an American animal. And "possum". The word is "opossum" and it's an American animal.

The first person who says, "Yeah, but all three of those are Native American words," flunks the reading comprehension test. Native Americans are Americans, says so right in the name.

See, people like you give the Americans a bad name. Just so you know, the Americans did not invent everything and name everything and the world does not revolve around your country.

Youse did not invent the bbq, it has been around for thousands of years.

No, it's Goanna, you see a goanna is a type of monitor also known as a perenti, it is a totally different lizard to the Iguana. Oh yeh, I'm going to start calling the bald eagle a kookaburra just because it's a bird. Common sense mate. I'm sure you have a brain somewhere.

No, a possom is not an opossum, it is a possom. Do you know what a possum looks like? look up an australian possum, you'll find it is not an oppossum and it has never been called one.

You posed the question do Australians know the difference between grilled and bbq'd? Kinda funny, because clearly you are suffering under the dellusion that possoms are the same animal as an oppossum, or the iguanna is the same as a goanna.

Okay here's one for you, it's called a Ute not a pickup truck, I should know, Australians invented it. <<< see how much of a wanker I look now?

 

[dingoofus]

For the benefit of Noto...

Here's an iguana.

Here's a Goanna

Here's an Opossum

Here's a possum.

 

[dingoofus]

@ Noto, btw, the Aborignals have been doing stuff similar to your definition of "bbq" for thousands of years, so have other cultures. Youse did not invent it.

How the hell can u say iguanas and goannas are the same. Put an iguana and a goanna in the same pit and my moneys on the goanna. Put a possum and an opossum in the same ring and my life saving is on the possum.

Whats next, the raccoon is the same as the tassie devil? lol, i'd like to see them two fight.

 

[dingoofus]

Oh no, tasmania, you got that from the name texas, tasmania is actually pronounced texas. lol

 

[Eric A]

Haha, yeah, we won't go into that.
