I think of Australia's shape in the color orange, then I think of boomerangs then the Sydney Opera house, then the desert, then dingos, then The Sniper.

EB Games is the culprit for overpriced games in Aus. Standard price for a new game is AUD$120.00 but if you give them the finger and go to any dept store (BIg W, K Mart) and you can get it for about $40 less. Late releases are becoming less of a problem this generation though, although when they occasionally happen we get zero explanation which is annoying. Like Saw: The Game came out here 2 weeks ago. Not that I wanted it, but what the hell?

I think of the song from the shins. It makes me happy even though the lyrics are kind of depressing.
 

  and the music video they made for it has, like, nothing to do with the song.

Wow. You're the second person to say that. That incident happened like, 30 years ago. Was the Meryl Streep movie a massive blockbuster overseas or something? Ask an Australian kid under the age of 20 about the 'dingo ate my baby' and they wouldn't know what the hell you're talking about. Weird.

Its the first thing I think of too. Its such a general and broad stereotype I don't think most people who use it even know where the term originates from. May be the same with people calling us "limies" although I could easily be wrong.

Foster's is alright, although hardly any Australian drinks it. It's definitely not the worst beverage out there. But I'm impressed about the Vegemite. 99% of people who try Vegemite for the first time pile it on like cream cheese and then scream "Jesus, my taste buds!" when they swallow massive overwhelming amounts of it. The key to Vegemite is to spread it thin.

oldschool.  Yeah, I know I think he's actually in New Zealand, but I'm an American.  He's lucky I picked the right hemisphere. ;-D
 
After that...I don't know, um, Farscape, Peter Jackson, Men at Work, kiwi fruits, Sydney Opera House, Xena, the movie "Australia", the movie "Quigley Down Under", Yahoo Serious, and toilets with backwards flowing drains.  That kind of stuff.
