The Adventures of Travelling Matt "Barbecue"

[madloz76]

As an Australian I tend to cringe when other cultures (especially American's), try to guess what we are like as a culture.

This is pretty spot on. It made me laugh. I miss Fraggle Rock.

@madloz76 So what exactly ARE they doing? I'm guessing (yes I know) :) there's a type of food over there eaten charred black? Or what is that on the grill?

[madloz76]

It looks to be a mix of sausages, lamb chops and steak. When there that badly burnt it's hard to tell.

@madloz76 I just figured you'd be able to explain half of what's going on there with the grill and picnic being from there. :) Are there things that are actually served that way by you? ....Cultural thing maybe, I figured?

[madloz76]

Sorry, now I get you. The men are drinking and no doubt are talking about sport. The women would be catching up on the latest gossip.

As this happens the food ends up burnt. This has happened. So you go hungry or you try to eat it.

Things have changed, thankfully. As long as someone is watching over the grill the food shouldn't end up burnt. Then again it depends on how much the cook is drinking. No one wants burnt food.

I hope that clears things up a bit more for you.

@madloz76 Oh. Uhhhhh.......I knew 'dat! :)

No, originally I figured that, but when I read your comment about figuring out Australia I'm like; "Is there something I'm missing?" I mean, when you make corn on the cob on the grill, even though you soak the cobs for several hours first, the husks get black, so I figured it maybe was something along that line that was meant to get (well) done.

I am about as familiar with that expression as Travelling Matt is. But then again I'm from Indiana.

I wish they would have gave Uncle Matt a beer and he could have got drunk and describe to Gobo how it felt. haha

[stevedogan]

@LincolnHeightsrocks You're missing the intent of bad comedy entirely!

You guys should post the Traveling Matt with the balloon and the kite. That one was always one of my favorites.

[Quidam]

Man, everyone is always so nice to Uncle Matt.

[Quidam]

[collgoff]

@Quidam You know not everyone is nice but we are most people are nice.

[Quidam]

[collgoff]

@Quidam Well I agree with that but how dose he have away with people?

[Quidam]
