I love the nighttime Mildura coach... Ever so slightly creepy photo I took on our rest stop in Donald

Alt image thingy: a kinda slightly creepy photo taken at 2am of desserted roads in Donald

Morning Aussies, greetings from America 🦅

Hope you guys aren't doing too bad, wish I could help you all immigrate here or something

[-] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Which America?

Good America (Canada)

Or okay America (USA)

[-] GaveUp@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago

I've lived back and forth between both actually

Grateful I've never had to step foot in worst America though

Mississippi?

I'm from Canada but been here like 20 years.

Love giving it to the yanks 😁

Love you guys overall....just not the maga crowd

They're either from AL or FL.

Not a chance. I refuse ABSOLUTELY to eat grits. And your mob have the nerve to complain about Vegemite.

[-] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 0 points 1 year ago

I refuse to eat grits too. I have no idea what they actually are, but they sound dreadful 🤣

[-] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

The nearest equivalent we have is steel cut oats. I understand grits is a kind of porridge, only corn not oats. Should be banned under every possible convention, including the nuclear arms one.

Today on Melbourne roads:

Bicycle rider jumping a speed bump on the wrong side of the road nearly hit us.
Doing 105 on the Calder overtaking a bunch of cars doing 90. SUV towing a caravan cuts me off and proceeds to fish tail and nearly lost control a few times.
Tonight also on the Calder. Absolutely pissing down so most of us were cruising at 80kmh. Except for that muppet who decided that he could fly past at maybe 120.
Doing 80 on a very quiet rural road of some sort. No idea what I did wrong but a bird somehow managed to land a massive shit on our windshield. Of all the places and time they could've shitted, it had to be on us driving past under the tree.

I fucking love this community. I'd rather drink my own piss than drink instant. Very good sir/madam. We are all very excepting here. Take my upvote.🔝

Someone should print that on a tshirt and put it in a souvenir shop. I'm also surprised license plates haven't changed to "victoria - the coffee capital" I'm fine with instant when real coffee isn't available.
