Pete
Thanks for the great reply. I had a feeling the shrimp on the bary was an
American thing. I love to hear and understand other languages & slang.
I spent some time in the South Dakota area of the US and got to know a
few native americans (Lakota Sioux) - some of their slang is interesting.
I would have never guessed the Ute being a truck (southern red neck its
called your "rig") But drinkin' beer setting on the tail gate is a true
country boy pastime.

Best of all the - "Bonza Shielas" - -- Pick me up at the airport!!!
But please do not tell my wife :)

Aaaah sitting on the tailgate of a ute, pervin' on the shielas, whilst blowin the froth off a few coldies.....thats my idea of a great time with my cobbers.

( translation) Ohh golly gosh, Now thats peachy keen and real swell, sitting on the tailgate of the Rig, watching the chicks shake their booty and suckin down a few cold beers, with your buddies.

regards

Peter

The -
Ohh golly gosh, Now thats peachy keen and real swell - is more
of a California way of saying it. Old rednecks like me would never use
golly gosh or peachy keen - Peach is what we eat in the late summer
and real swell is what happens to your foot when someone runs over it,
with a rig. :)
And to keep us on thread - I would still love to have a Engraving Etc. live
get together in the land down under.

Have a great day - I am off to work.

Joe

Peter,

From what you're saying, I doubt I'll be able to come to Australia.

Why? Because I'd be a serious flight risk! I may never come back to the U.S. :-)

From your description, I already qualify to be an honorary "Aussie." I have a built-in, dry sense of self-depricating humor, and "relaxed" doesn't describe my demeanor.

If I got any more relaxed, I'd be in a coma :-)

Oh, and prawns on the barby are delicious enough, but I'd have to move those to the side of the grill, in order to make room for the Australian lobster tails - The only way to go!

I've heard so many great stories from Americans who've traveled to Australia, telling how welcoming the Aussies are. A recurring one is when the Aussies, say to visitors, "Forget the expensive hotels etc. Just come over to our house and hang out."

Hmmm. "Engraving Etc. Down Under" I like the sound of that and it's a trip I'd like to make. As I said, don't count us out yet :-)

Joe Hayes might think it's a peachy idea :-)

Lobster has claws, Australian critter is actually a Crayfish

Australian Christmas = Crayfish, Prawns, various other seafood, fine barossa Valley and Coonawarra wines, Beer...bit of a lay down then a ame of footy or backyard Cricket..

Crayfish always makes me think of Christmas. ( reverse seasons here )

regards

Peter

OK, Peter.

From the Christmas menu, I'd say that I'm an Aussie that happened to be born in the U.S. A few of my favorite things :-)

Why Peter,
We had no idea how poetic you were. It MUST be Kathy's influence.....
Now HERE is an idea..... Engraving Etc. LIVE, Hawaiian style..... the best of both worlds... AND it is centrally located for YOU Peter....
Not so expensive, and we could hold it on the beach....., well the after hours party anyway.
American Pacific Awards, would be happy to help host it.
