Not me understands said what was.

[Jacki]

They were making a shambolic effort to verbalise on the philosphical meaning of drinking light beer.

[Meanie the Blue]

I think, when you boil it down, it amounts to the great NFL Films announcer John Facenda's stentorian mantra: "On any given Sunday ......"

(Or, you still play the game because predictions and trends don't matter, only what happens on that day. Witness Super Bowl XLII)

(Sorry, Punkin....)

[fivver]

*checks to see if the hadron collider has destroyed the world yet*
*NOPE*

Well that can't be it.

[Al Sharpton]

I don' understand what they're saying, but I'm protesting and marching anyway!

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

Translation: Wallabies line form garbage All Blacks lock poor

[Punkin]

Meanie - "Ouch"

[Cat R]

But didgeridoo?

*brain explodes*

[queensbee]

i think it means that the wallabees are playing worse than the noo yawk yankees. the wallabees could probably beat the yankees and whatever sport it is they are playing.

[Siouxie]

Que?

[Wes S.]

Remember that line about America and England being "two countries seperated by a common language?"

I think the same goes for New Zealand.

[Steve Haller]

Translation: I had one grunch but the eggplant over there

[Cheesewiz]

Maybe Rugby, maybe extreme chess, it's too hard to tell.

[queensbee]

the question is: are you going to walk or take your lunch???

[Braniff]

From the classic: Tie Me Kangaroo Down

Watch me wallaby's feed, mate,
Watch me wallaby's feed.
They're a dangerous breed, mate,
So watch me wallaby's feed.
...
Play me digeridoo, Blue
Play me digeridoo
Keep playin' it till I shoot through, Blue
Play me digireedoo

[Meanie the Blue]

Queenie - yes.

[Mot the Hoople]

Ha, I was at the game in Johannesburg when the Springboks (South Africa) beat the Wallabies (Australia) by 53 points to 8. Revenge is oh so sweet.

[Siouxie]

Que?

[Betsy]

*Snork* @ the Rev. Al way ^up there!

[Cat R]

LOL Thanks, Betsy, I missed that one! *snork*

Any native English speaker from any of the three largest English-speaking countries in the Southern Hemispehere would have no trouble iunderstanding this headline. I'm just glad I read about it at Language Log, because it reminded me to come back to this blog. Clearly SANZAR is grossly under-represented in the readership here, a sad situation that must be remedied. Oh, and to Mot the Hoople, if you're a Japie, THANKS for dishing out that hiding to the Ockers. :)

Come on, fair suck of the sav. You blokes expect us to understand what you are talking about when you rabbit on about the tight end's knuckleball being penalised for icing. Or whatever. It's about time you got up to speed on The Game They Play In Heaven and the best sporting team of all time ever, the All Blacks.

[Dazzle]

I must agree.
Being a New Zealander living in Australia.
Today is a very good day!!
