"Asia ixpet... your onloin resource for IVREETHING!"

Keep hearing that on TV.

Fauxie said:

that sounds kiwi

ZombieKitten said:

Fair goes. I think it's an Aussie in the ad though. Like the woman on some travel show the other day describing Thailand... she goes she goes... "TREEMINDUSS VAROIYUHTEE!"

Oh, and...

Why won't you just try to read between the damn lines.

Fauxie said:

definitely kiwi

ZombieKitten said:

I've been to NZ. This woman was an Aussie, despite the similarities with Kiwis and their 'eeeee' sounds in words. This woman, if the show had called for it, would've said 'fish and chips' not 'fush and chups', I feel sure.

Hey, in Ramsay St. they used to say 'Rick Ilisseeee' for Rick Alessi and they were everyday typical Aussies that everybody in Australia watched on TV every single day and loved it without exception while drinking Foster's.

I love compliments..throw them at me baby!!

That wasn't the question.

Just curious...I'm seeing a trend here.

purplewisdom said:

That wasn't the question.

Anybody who says that they don't like their ego getting stroked is one bald faced liar and I gotta admit, I'm one vain broad - to a certain degree.

That being said, there're a couple of orgers who paid me compliments that I wouldn't miss if they never posted again,,,,and hey, some of them did stop posting in here

And there're people like Ernest somebody who honestly get on my nerves sometimes with the "dupe repost" bullshit(sorry Ernest ) but I totally enjoy their commentary on many subjects,,,,I don't agree with the man 1/2 of the times but I'd be a liar if I said he didn't give me something to think about.

When its all said and done though, when you depend on the internet for milking compliments,,,,,you're in deep trouble

JayJai said:

Now that gets on my nerves.

There are two male orgers in particular who I also am in touch with outside this place and it bugs me to no end when they don't acknowledge me or flirt back with me. I am an attention whore for a couple of people here.

JustErin said:

no need to be sorry, this thread is a decent one, it actually deals with idividual orgers quirks and idosyncrasies...it beats the over all bitchy tone of people who aren't happy here but choose to stick around and make sure we know they're unhappy...

thejason said:

with built in chum

what does it mean if no one compliments me?? I hate you all??

nah... that can't be it...

Lammastide said:

Ya, ya, I know...we all just wanna be loved.

I'm more curious about people who get pissy towards those that don't stroke their ego all the time.

Fauxie said:

but switching the "i" with "e" sounds isn't very aussie

we say uh-lessi here, so possibly that ramsay street person was kiwi or a queenslander, they can't talk properly there since there are so many kiwis up there they think it's normal to sound like that

ZombieKitten said:

Well, I'll bow to your superior judgment, of course.

Do people from Melbourne typically have quite a 'soft' accent?

Fauxie said:

maybe
we talk like newsreaders down here

Ah yes. A friend of mine has a similar accent, though even less stereotypically Aussie. Maybe because he hasn't lived there in 10 years.

I seem to recall you have a lovely voice.
