But hey, free Christmas trees!

They do, but Christmas is on June 25 because of the reversed seasons and all that in the Southern Hemisphere. And water goes down the drain counterclockwise in Austria.

/watch out for the drop bears

Austria is also where Helen Keller hid from the Nazis.

Golf clap for that subby

Accident causes an entire truckload, 14 tons, of Christmas trees to be dumped


You dump 14 tons
and what do you get?
Another day older and
a ticket, I'll bet.

Boy that sure must've been something.

Bows.....it was an easy put. Insta-green with subtle troll + misdirection.

We do, but with Charlie Brown's Christmas tree and a mid-afternoon meal with luncheon meat.

Hate to disappoint, But Austria is not down under, Australia is. Austria is in Europe, the headquarters of many things unpleasant in history.

PUTT! gotdamn fingers

Sure, but how do they keep the angel/star from falling off?

I had a co-worker from Brazil who once remarked that his first Christmas in the US was a real revelation, because all of the winter-based Christmas imagery that he'd grown up with suddenly all made sense.

is it considered funny to mix up Australia and Austria? I just find it retarded and I am never fully sure if the mix up is intentional or the poster is really mentally only able to process 3-5 different countries.

They accidentally the whole thing?

Subby: Do they even celebrate Christmas down-under?

Lights also wrap around the tree in the opposite direction down there too.

And since I am swiss and I had countless discussions with americans where they ask me "all about sweden" ... I have to believe it's not intentional and just sad...
That said, I've visited sweden and know a bit about it... but after the second reminder that I am swiss and not swedish - I just give up.

The very first thing I did when I got to Australia was flush a toilet to see if the reverse swirl thing was true. It made for a very disappointing start to my trip.

"You idiot. He said "firs" not "furs". It was a damn logging caravan!"

Dude, You have been here LONG ENOUGH to get the joke.....but you're Swiss so we'll give you a pass.....

This. Could we get a little less low-brow around Fark? I miss the good ole' days of Fark where getting the joke actually took some inside knowledge; or, at very least, a 9th grade vocabulary.

That one's easy. You're chocolate, not meatballs.  Watches, not Ikea.

You know, I'm tempted to start up Aussie Brand Ceramics[tm] and make a line of toilets with the jets mounted in reverse.

Austrian...down under.

You should go all Viking on their asses.

If you've never noticed that meme, you must be as blind as Anne Frank.

So,,,,, They fell twice?

"You know who *ELSE* was from Australia??

You missed Romansh, the coolest/most obscure of all Swiss languages. It's descended from Vulgar Latin, so it's got that going for it.

Worthless without pictures.
Even the German articles only had stockphotos.

You have to use a toilet made in Austria for that to work.

That's pretty nasty

Austrialia? Swedzerland?

Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

This is actually funny, because it's being flooded by "real german", but I don't live there anymore, not since 10 years or so. Germans only need around 2-3 months to be able to understand the dialect properly.

The Voice of Doom: Worthless without pictures.

Hey, they're just trying to pass along info. They weren't expecting the Portugese Inquisition, you know...

That's where they had that nasty Foxconn thing with Hewlett Packard.
I think they were using Central American child slaves to make Air Conditioners to be shipped to Finland where Tomji is from. It's how they put the holes in the cheese. I saw it once on Mythbusters.

^^ Not a repeat from 1942.

To be fair, in Europe everyone speaks SOME German. You know...just in case.
