Infloresence, my love

[lagizma]

Jeff and I came up with the ultimate way to introduce infloresence to the US: dinner at Outback Steakhouse. What more could she need? Faux Australian setting! Red meat!

The only way to improve the experience would be to get a fundamentalism sermon going on at the same time. I'll work on that.

I love that they they have "Aboriginal dot paintings" as the background to their site. LOOK AT US!!11!WE IS GENWIN AHTICKLE!1!

So like, does that mean they're going to also scarify themselves, chant, dance, avoid their mothers-in-law, speak complex dialects and hunt for their own thii, gundal and gather their own yuul? We could have a nice bandaarr steak, or a side of thinawan?

Fucking fake-ass motherfucking steak chomping cuntrags with their yoooonique strine-tainted collywobble restaurant.

Though the fundamentalism sermon, I dig that yo. As long as it is ABOUT fundamentalism and not advocating it. Because then I would have the press the secret button I have for planned-yet-seemingly-spontaneous self combustion.

I do wish you would stop holding back and being so vague; just say what you think of the restaurant, already.

Oh and PS: I am never visiting the US. Ever. Just in case you were wondering.

"...experience true Americana."

What? Rivers of Budweiser, frat boys throwing fireworks at each other, rednecks shooting shotguns into the air, and enough hot dogs and potato salad to pave a road from L.A. to NYC? :)

Seriously though, while not representative of every day life in America (nor as universally insane as my above description), the 4th of July is something totally worth experiencing for non-Americans.

Dude, why not? They're are plenty of cultural differences beneath the surface in our two countries, but urban/suburban Australia is more or less indistinguishable from urban/suburban America in the grand scheme of things. Every American I've talked to who has visited Australia and every Australian I've met here in America was surprised at how similar our two countries are. The point being, the drab, lame, intolerant, and/or just plain crazy places are not on the forefront of America. You'd have to go out into the Plains, Midwest and South to encounter that for the most part. And you're not going to do that b/c if you come visit you'll more than likely come to California (or somewhere on the West Coast) which is an awesome place.

I don't know do the waitstaff all stop and sing songs at the Outback? Because I think a restaurant where they do that would be necessary. Like this rib joint in Maine my family has gone to where they have a mechanical bull that they ride and the waitstaff do line dances. Also there need to be strange antiques on the wall.

[lagizma]

You know, I am a drunk skank, but I have never ridden a mechanical bull. I really need to get on that. It doesn't get any cuter with age.

I'm sure you couldn't rest easy until you've done it. Grab a cowboy hat and get out there, in case you suffer from a premature death and have to haunt sleazy bars for eternity.

LOL, I was hoping you would post this. :)
