#is oz a kangaroo…

[dwtdog]

Ok history/geography/culture lesson:

Kangaroos take the train because it's the most effect way of getting somewhere in a place as big and empty as Australia.

Our sheep cannot take the train as the vast majority of them are highland sheep which isn't accessible by train.

So the kangaroos drive the trains so they can control their public transport, the humans just hop on whichever train is the closest to the location they need (however you should consider investigating if Oz is human or kangaroo)

✊🏾 “If everybody else your age is doing something very different than what you're doing, there's always going to be someone saying to you you might not succeed with it, you might not make any money with that... there's always going to be some type of obstacle in the way. All of those things will go away if you really focus on what makes you happy.” ~ Kevin Clash

Kangaroos are quite literally the deer that went to prison

(My) world's biggest kangaroo is back in our frontyard. Don't be fooled by its demeanour, this thing is huge.

How would Vox, Alastor, and Mourningstar Lucifer handle their darling little baby having a nightmare? Their little has such a bad dream that they are nonverbal and won't let go of them or try to fall back asleep due to how scared she is.

Vox and Alasot are oddly enough very similar. They're not exactly sure what to say or do beyond the usual platitudes of "there, there, it's okay" and rubbing her back while holding her closely. Where they differ is how they might help them feel better after they've calmed down a little. Vox would opt for the visual with things like Captain Kangaroo, Romper Room, The Uncle Al Show, Howdy Doody, or newer things like Sesame Street. Or maybe a movie like The Wizard of Oz, Cinderella, Snow White and the Eeven Dwarves, Lady and the Tramp, basically anything Disney pre- 2000s era Like I said he's partial to the classics himself, specifically American classics, though if his Little has something they want to see that's newer he won't object I imagine he becomes a big fan of Studio Ghibli movies and other things, would love it if during the musical movies his Little busted out into song, would likely record it for personal viewing later since if he shares it with Velvette she will definitely post it.

Now Alastor on the other hand will either listen to old radio programs with you, different music and songs and such. He might even listen to newer (still pre 50s) radio shows like Buck Rogers, Dick Tracy, Flash Gordon, Lassie, Little Orphan Annie, and The Land of the Lost with them. He likes the stuff of his time sure, but honestly the radio shows only improved on the medium, unlike the trash of the newfangled hip poppy techno screeching malarkey of the modern era.

Both would sleep with them if prompted, or Vox would let them have Vark in your bed for the night if they asked. They would wait until their Little were in deep sleep to leave if they didn't ask for them to stay though.

Normal Lucifer and Mourningstar have pretty similar methods, however Mourningstar is much more concerned about his princess going nonverbal if this is the first time it's happened, what if his babygirl never speaks to him again?!

They both hold them close and sing little songs to them, either lullabies or just silly little rhymes they made up. When things were calmed down they'd ask if their Little wanted to talk now, but if not that was fine. They'd make a late night drink of hot chocolate to help further calm them down and lift their spirits. It'll be like their own little tradition.

The average mean temperature in Bethlehem during the month of December is 16.9 degrees celsius. The predominant form of precipitation during the month is rain, a whooping 40.6 mm on average. Naturally, the climate may have shifted since the time of Jeebus, but hardly enough to find any particular justification for the snow obsession in the modern celebration of the presumed date of birth of a mediocre carpenter and public orator.

Tying event to Place is important for social cohesion. That the celebration of Jeebus would take a more wintery feel as the faith spread north is therefore quite natural. When it spread outwards from Europe to the “new world” the structures were already so deeply entrenched that no one questioned practices and beliefs that were, from a new local perspective, absurd.

Imagine a world where christianity had reached, for example, Australia about the same time that Paulus made his way towards Rome. The celebration of christmas in Oz would be very different I believe. More local fauna in the myths. Instead of Rudolf the Raindeer, meet Skip the Christmas Kangaroo. Or something completely different since the base language and cultural influence would not have been English. The Christmas Dream Snake, perhaps? Leaving Yabbies in the night.

Hi guys! Weekly funny … I recently started investing in stocks. First chicken, then beef, finally vegetable. I know that sounds risky, but someday, I will be a bullionaire.

Take care and have a great week!

Chuckles That one is good. Thank you!

What do stylish kangaroos wear? Jumpsuits.

I hope you have a splendid week as well.

Warmly, Oz/Ozzie

Feeling nostalgic for frozen kangaroo cordial from the early 90s (& earlier) here in Oz. There was green & red, a T-Rex version, and a grenade.. xD

Cutting the tops off = razor plastic, but the sugar water was worth it 8D

Are there any Australian stereotypes that you would say are true of a surprising number of Australians? Asking because some American stereotypes are like "Yeah, I mean, where's the lie though?" (I mean this in a lighthearted, non-serious way)

We love beer. A lot. A whole fucking lot. In fact, we're the drunkest country in the world. That said NO RESPECTABLE AUSSIE DRINKS FUCKING FOSTERS.

We do have a propensity to biff with the wildlife. Sometimes that includes punching on, especially if our dogs are in danger.

We do talk in a lot of slang most people won't understand. Our slang is also regional. Someone from Sydney won't use the same slang as someone from Perth. Someone from Brisbane won't use the same slang as someone from Alice Springs. Keep in mind that Australia is about the size of the continental United States, so it makes sense that we won't all talk the same because that's a lot of land to cover.

We DON'T throw shrimp on the barbies. We CHUCK a PRAWN on the barbie SOMETIMES. Usually though, it's snags.

Australia is the driest continent on the planet but it does rain here. Fun bit is that the rain tumbles down in July. It rarely rains in the Outback though, and in the height of summer you get heat lightning and dry thunderstorms.

We do eat a lot of Vegemite. Not necessarily brekkie, lunch, and dinnie, but half of Australians eat Vegemite at least once a day (usually at brekkie).

Rural Aussies, especially bogans, do have a valid reputation of being very uncouth, but it's more Michael Dundee-level than "rural boofhead." That said, you're unlikely to encounter a bogan anywhere outside of Australia besides Bali, where we all seem to go for holiday. Also, uncouth doesn't mean uneducated. The smartest people and the best problem-solvers I've ever met have been bogans.

Kangaroos are the Australian equivalent of deer, and I mean that literally: they fill the same ecological niche that deer do. You won't find them in cities, but just like deer they often show up in suburbs.

Koalas are everywhere--on the east coast. You won't find them anywhere further west of Adelaide.

We do eat kangaroo meat. In fact I used to be a roo shooter--my job was hunting and harvesting kangaroos both for pest control and for meat. All kangaroo meat in Australia comes from wild kangaroos, as they're very fast and need vast amounts of space that makes them unsuitable for commercial farming (also they'd jump the fences ay?)

That's about all the ones I can think of but if anyone personally thinks of Australian stereotypes that you want me to confirm, just send them in and I'll let you know how things really are in Oz.

Favorite Gold Currencies to Collect for Investment

Why Gold American Eagle Currencies are Popular among Collectors:

Gold currencies are a favorite of mint piece collectors with an eye toward investment. Not exclusively are golden coins wonderful to observe, however they likewise have a worth that is ensured, because of their precious metal substance. The worth of gold coins is usually higher than the worth of their weight in gold read more here bullion, making them a preferred investment over the gold market alone.

Numerous nations produce gold currencies for collectors or for memorial purposes. These coins frequently accentuate extraordinary parts of the nation's way of life. Australia venerates its public creature with the Gold Kangaroo, for instance, while China has a Gold Panda with a wonderful plan that changes consistently. Canada's coin includes a strong public image with the golden Maple Leaf, and South Africa mints the Krugerrand. One of the world's top rated coins, the Krugerrand highlights the South African public creature, the Springbok. Having its spot as one of the most popular gold mint pieces among investors and collectors, however, is the American Gold Eagle. The American Gold Eagle stands apart among other bullion coins because of its exquisite plan, and because its worth is upheld by the original capacity of the US government.

The Magnificence of American Eagle Gold Coins:

This picture is enlivened by a golden coin planned by Augustus Holy person Gauden and stamped from 1907 to 1933. The Augustus Holy person Gauden Twofold Eagle is generally considered to be quite possibly of the most lovely coin America has at any point produced. On the other side of the American Eagle gold coins is a home loaded with bald eagles, the public bird of the US. The home addresses the American devotion to solidarity and family. Moreover, a unique pass on is used while printing these coins, to carry the gold to a particularly high sparkle and to make it simpler to see little subtleties in the plan.

American Eagle Gold Coins have Ensured Worth:

American Eagle gold coins are significant for their wonderful appearance, yet in addition because they are the main bullion coin whose gold substance is ensured by the US government. Every American Gold Eagle is stepped with its definite gold weight, as well as its presumptive worth. They are printed from 22-karat gold, which by regulation must be unadulterated gold bullion mined from inside the US. This assurance of the legitimacy of the precious metals used to make American Eagle gold coins is profoundly important to investors.

Purchasing American Eagle Gold Coins:

Golden American Eagles were first produced in 1985 and arrive in various sizes and values, going from the 1/tenth oz American Eagle coin with a presumptive worth of $5, as far as possible up to full ounce gold coins with an assumed worth of $50. Recall that most gold coins are worth more than their lawful delicate sum. Despite the fact that they re not accessible for buy straightforwardly from the U.S. Mint, American Eagle can be normally found available to be purchased in coin shops, on the web, by gold vendors, and at coin shows. There are likewise minor departure from the American Eagle that are printed from silver or platinum rather than gold.
