deathpixieSomeone posted this to the Tripe J LJ Community, and I thought I'd share. JJJ is, for those who don't live here, a national alternative-ish radio station, the only _decent_ station I can get up here.

Here are just some of the beliefs that make Aussies unique:
Beer should be served so cold it makes your ears hurt.
It’s not a genuine Australian saying unless it involves a paddock, lizard or rat.
Your best friend is "a total bastard", while your worst enemy is "a bit of a bastard".
A hamburger must contain beetroot.
Our national character is such that we cry during the first verse of the national anthem, but can’t remember the words of the rest.
People with red hair are always nicknamed blue.
Every surname, brand name and car spare part must be shortened to the point of incomprehension, as in "If I hadn’t stuffed the diff I’d have taken Blacky to Maccas."
It’s not summer until barefoot kids dance a wild corroboree every time they cross the road.
All parties, in however grand and well prepared a house, will be held cramped and noisy, in the kitchen.
In beach cricket, the person who hits the ball into the water shall score runs, but also cop social disapproval.
A gumleaf, crushed in the hand is the best smell ever.
There’s no event that can’t be improved by the addition of sausage sizzle.
Two weeks after a trip to the beach, grains of sand will suddenly and inexplicably appear in your bed.
We invented everything in the world worth inventing, but then sold the patents to the Yanks.
There comes a time in every Australian's life when you realise the Aerogard is far, far worse than the flies.
Spreading toast with a black salty spread, with the appearance of axle grease, is widely viewed as a good way to start the day.
It’s only money.
Kids, upon burying their father in the sand, shall always give him breasts larger than that of their mother.
When you are seven years old - and wanting to fly - the Hills Hoist is wasted on washing.
We become more Australian the further away we travel from home.
Ugg boots are the height of fashion when walking down main streets of foreign countries.

*snickering madly* It's funny 'cause it's true. ;)
