    Perhaps you are confusing it with my accent, which is American.

    No but on topic, I was just wondering since we're talking about wildlife and such.

    Does Australia have crows? Because man, I hate Goddamn crows. I'm outside, smoking a cigarette, the sun is coming up, its a peaceful moment, birds are chirping in the trees, its the first day of spring, really. Tweet tweet! Chirp chirp! Little birdies singing the song of winter's end.

    And then CWAAAWK WAAAK WAAAK

    Goddamn crows.

    i just saw this video on the science channel of a crow using a wire to get food out of a little tube

    it doesn't work so he bends the wire into a hook to get it out

    can you believe that shit?

    mint

    and meat?


    what the fuck is wrong with you idiots?
    silly fallout, its great in anything middle-easterney

    (perth is the wrong city you guys)

    i'm puking out my stomach lining!

    Seriously? Never had roast beef with mint sauce? It's was always good for covering up the flavour of vegetables too. I bet you haven't even had a meat pie before though, you zany person.

    jesus i've never even heard of that

    (mint sauce i mean not meat pies)

    is this some bizarro mint that you guys are talking about because the only taste i'm imagining is a perfectly good steak covered in tic-tacs

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mint_sauce

    mintsaucedsc02097.jpg

    It's a lovely tangy herbal flavour.

    okay i will be willing to sample some variety of this surely-vile family of concoctions at PAX if someone else foots the bill

    surely the pain inflicted upon me by such a culinary catastrophe would be sweet respite from the oppressive torment i would feel in every moment spent within the city limits of Hellzone Seattle

    Crows are so fucking awesome, better than our native galah, those stupid bastards get into a frenzied panic and fly around like lunatics if a car drives near them, causing them to be hit all the time. Crows just sit there and wait until the last second then hop out of the way like a smug fuck. So awesome.

    how are you my brotha

    Pretty good! I start uni again on Monday, and I've applied for a totally sweet job working at a library. Also, property in Western Australia is super affordable at the moment so once I'm settled into a new job I should be able to buy my own boxy little apartment!

    What's crackalackin' with you, sista?

    I'm on the move too! Going to move to Atlanta to live with my bff Stale, so I'm excited. It'll be sunny and warm, I can totally pretend it's Australia.

    New apartments are awesome! Good luck with that. :)

    Now is a story about Strongbow.

    A year or two ago, seems like ages now, when visiting the old family farm in Eastern Washington, an agrarian landscape covered in orchards, one of the major apple producing areas of the United States, and one of the preeminent wine-making valleys in the nation, I picked up some Strongbow along with a shit lot of other types of beer my oldest friend Mike and I picked up at a shop. (Edit: And other run-on sentences as well!) I hadn't seen Mike in about five years.

    We got back to the farm in the evening after stopping at this little hole-in-the-wall Mexican joint for some delicious asada tacos on homemade tortillas. We start up a bonfire and the two of us start drinking beers and shooting the shit.

    We finally got to the Strongbow about midnight, and I crack one open, but I've got the drunk munchies. There, on trees surrounding us, for acres in every direction, are fresh Golden Delicious apples, two weeks from harvest, still just that hint of crisp tartness before the sun yellows them and they well with sugar. These are delicious Goddamn apples. To put this in perspective, my dog, this big black German shepherd, used to eat these apples. She used to leap up, grab an apple on the lower branches, lay down on the grass, drop it between her forepaws and munch on it while rotating it with her tongue like an ear of Goddamed corn. We used to find apple cores all around her doghouse during harvest.

    Enough sidetracking, back to the main event. So I grab one of these apples, rotate it slightly and tug. It pops off effortlessly. I rub it on my shirt to get the insecticide spray off and take an enormous bite out of the motherfucker. Oh my God, this apple is so delicious, made even more amazing by my intake of alcohol. I grab a strongbow, crack it open, and take a swig. This part was heaven. Now honestly, it could have been any hard cider, I just happened to be drinking Strongbow at the time, but seriously. Fresh tart apples washed down by crisp hard cider.

    A can in one hand, an apple in the other, alternating between the two. Match made in heaven.

    Yeah, it does need to happen.

    Also, just for everyone reading right now, I'm gonna try to bring a box of those apples to PAX, picked no more than four days in advance.
