Well, fly tossed down the gauntlet, so I thought I'd just pop in here to let Nashville know that Melbourne are gonna kick your butts so hard, NASA won't need to fire another missile at the moon 'cause you're gonna hit it so hard.
Edit: I'm making this show up in the Melbourne forum as well, because really, why should Nashville have all the smack-talk fun?

Me thinks the new ML is getting snarky.
For those of you who don't know, Talea and Loki got stuck in the pouches of kangaroos and are now stuck hopping around Ayers Rock.
Perhaps You should grab the closest kanga and go find them. They might be hurt.

Athens is really just a big typo. Y'see, "s" is right next to "a" on the keyboard. They meant to name it Athena, but the secretary wasn't a very good typist.

Are you mocking our Parthenon? Fie. The Parthenon is awesome. And you still aren't going to win. At least, not if I can help it. XP How about you go walk your kangaroos now? *steals boomerang*

So long as we have THESE fast fingers *does spirit fingers*, Nashville has nothing to worry about XDD j/k. But seriously, do you actually think you can win? Don't make me laugh.

Glad to see you've moved away from the kangaroos; I was beginning to think that maybe you thought Australia was populated solely by Wrimos and kangaroos.
Do you ever get jealous of Memphis for being bigger than you?

You know, I wonder how many extra words you guys add into your word counts with stupid expressions... Like... You would say "Go The Crows" We'd just say "Go Crows" So one or two pages about a crowd at an Aussie Rules football game and you've padded your word count with stupid expressions.
You say "con-trahv-er-see"
We say "con-truh-ver-see"
it's like the potato/potahto thing, but wiht bigger words.

It's funny you should bring up poTAYtoes (boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew), fly, because I was wondering how you all ever manage to catch up on your word counts after sitting there stuffing your faces with all that turkey and pumpkin and stuff at Thanksgiving.
And football season is totally over; it's cricket season now. Why word-pad with 'Go the Crows' when we can word-pad about getting your eye in before the bowling begins so you can make sure you're not going to get bowled out leg before wicket, especially if the bowler bowls a googly -- although of course a googly is also known in Oz as a 'wrong 'un', which gives us an extra word anyway.
