Another test, but this time in Australian

by Runner Susan on December 29, 2006

I took a recent course at the local junior college so I could learn to speak Australian. I’m talented that way. And since no one in Texas can speak Australian, I think I’m safe in posting this video – although my southern drawl may throw you off a little.

Here {raise martini} is to a speedy recovery Katy. Oh, and if I were there – I would try to stick a magnet on your femur.

P.S. Thank you for the recent shipment of painkillers. They in no way affected or influenced the making of this video.

your talent knows no boundaries.

You are hilarious.

And I commend you for not feeding Donkey toast lathered with Hawaiian coconut oil or tanning butter.

You are beautiful…!!

4 D December 29, 2006 at 9:42 am

You crack me up. But I must confess that I cannot hear your southern accent – and you’re in Texas???

5 Flatman December 29, 2006 at 9:48 am

One more thing…LOVE THE SHIRT!!!

6 Laurie December 29, 2006 at 10:59 am

Very clever and funny.

What will you feed your ass next?

7 Rich December 29, 2006 at 11:13 am

I watched that 3 times and never once heard shrimp on the barbie. That JC wasn’t out in West Texas, was it? ;)

You are hysterical! And you have a great voice and you are beautiful.

There is one thing I’d like you take note of, my dear. The only people who have ever benefited from The Cleanse are people who are paid millions to look super underweight in a movie. Until you get that deal please do yourself a favor and join me in the “Toss the Cookies” diet. It’s healthier and frankly, I need the company.

Happy New Year!

I heart Donkey, he is so friggin’ cute. Let’s trade, a twofur, if you will. You take my dogs, and I’ll take Donkey. It’s totally fair, trust me. Hop on over to my post today and see what you’ve won. ;)

10 Jessica December 29, 2006 at 12:36 pm

That is too funny. Nice Australian.

11 aj December 29, 2006 at 1:44 pm

13 sarah December 29, 2006 at 2:33 pm

you could totally have a phone sex job with that voice. and i mean that in a good way. :)

14 Thomas December 29, 2006 at 3:26 pm

Very funny. And I really don’t know what you’re going on about concerning your voice. You sound lovely.

15 Janice December 29, 2006 at 4:11 pm

I’m told you’re the one to chat with about customizing a header. I recently switched to beta and want to make my header more interesting — e.g. include some pics. Can you help me with some instructions?

16 Jen_runs December 29, 2006 at 6:34 pm

LOL. That’s fantastic – how cute is Donkey – but sorry honey but you gotta work on that accent ;-)

PS It’s not a shrimp – its a prawn ;-)

17 Rob December 29, 2006 at 7:22 pm

I can’t believe Katy sent you her pain pills. Have you seen my schedule? I am going to need a little love as well.

18 Jon (was) in Michigan December 29, 2006 at 9:54 pm

1. Toast rocks.

2. I love Susan’s voice. :)

19 wobbly man December 29, 2006 at 10:03 pm

Haha, you crack me up!

20 Ewen December 29, 2006 at 11:48 pm

You voice sounds fine to me Susan, although it could improve when you lose the forty.

You need to raise a XXXX to toast Katy – “she’s a great mate o’ mine”, not a “buddy”. Say things like “gid-dai” instead of “hi”, “see you round like a rissole” instead of “y-all come back now”, and “I’m drier than a dead dingo’s donga” instead of “I’m thirsty”.

The Australian accent needs some work! Hop eyou had a great Christmas and all the best for the new year, mate!

22 Bob G December 30, 2006 at 1:36 pm

That’s a good donkey!…now give that ass some water to wash it down :-)

Happy New Year Susan!!

23 Beth December 30, 2006 at 2:00 pm

Nice, very nice!

24 Black Knight December 31, 2006 at 2:30 am

If only I could understand your southern accent….indeed I don’t understand even what you said. Poor Black Knight he must follow an intensive course of american (or texan). Happy New Year Susan.

25 david December 31, 2006 at 2:09 pm

I have to commend Flatman for picking up on the T-shirt message. I wouldn’t want you any other way.

26 IHateToast January 1, 2007 at 5:09 pm

YOU’RE POISONING YOUR DOG WITH TOAST!!! have you no shame?!?!

Mark played this last night. I was tired. He asked, “Do you want to see this?” I didn’t know what “this” was, so I said, “I’ll catch up on blogging tomorrow.” I was buggered from camping on MOreton Island. Nothing was going to get me off this couch. Then I heard it. I nearly lost the other hip hopping and lurching over to the computer.
If you’re wondering, that bread is too toasted in my opinion. I’d have to scrape. Or drown in butter to soften it up.

It did make my day yesterday and I was all about revisiting it today. THANKS!
It’s so weird. You move… and talk.

man… I need a trip back home.

27 RunDave January 1, 2007 at 5:31 pm

Didn’t sound like dinky di aussie to me, but if you include the try-hard teenagers down at the mall speaking in a pseudo-american accent, then I guess you could be sounding like some “aussies”. BTW, we don’t call it Australian, we call it “strine”.

PS. For all americans. The ss in aussies has a Z sound not an S sound.

PPS. I agree with Katy, that toast is too brown.

28 iliketoast January 4, 2007 at 2:49 pm

I tried the magnets and they don’t stick!
