Fire-for when you don't have cable broadband
Saturday, 27. September 2008, 01:06:59
I am lucky enough to have cable broadband at home 
If you live in some parts of Australia you can't get cable broadband. You can get broadband but it's not very fast.
What do you do during the evening/night when you live in the country with slow internet? Scrabble? Nope, cases fights. Monopoly? Nope, causes divorces and domestic violence. FIRE? Yes! In the country, people have bonfires. You light lots of dead trees on fire and everyone stands around the fire and watches it. I didn't get to go to one last night but my dad did.
Some guy goes back home, not because he forgot his glasses/camera, but because he forgot his tractor...and then uses it to push the wood around.

Does anyone know what day it is in Australia today? It's... BOGAN DAY!
Why? Today is AFL (Australian Football League) Grand Final Day. AFL is a 'bogan' sport where 2 teams of weird looking guys in shorts that are too short run around an oval and chase and kick a weird shaped ball. Today bogans across Australia will be having BBQs, watching the game on their plasma TVs (which they bought with pension money from the government) and drinking beer (which they paid for using their baby bonus money (when you have a baby, the government gives you money so you can buy clothes for it etc. However, some really smart bogans just have children so they can get the money))

I don't care in the least about the damn footy. I actually wish I was working today (well not, because I'm sick) because even though I live/ work in a non-bogan part of town, last year hardly anyone came in all day! It was fantastic! Hehe :)
Also I love bonfires. We used to have them when I was a kid and we lived in the hills and we had sheep and a dam and PADDOCKS.
