AVR-Chat

Uhmm.. i wouldn't consider myself as an Aussie, although the first
national anthem that i memorize as a kid was advance australia fair.
However, whenever i hear the word "down-under", i feel proud of being
here, in the real thing, THE 'down-under' :)

And about vegemite, i wonder where it got its name from. Vegetables
and termites perhaps? Or is it vegetables and dynamites? Just joking.
I like it anyway, no matter how uggly it looks when you spread it on
your bread... :p (like grease, some people say :D)

-irf-

(Sorry for being so OOT...)
