Disappointingly a little side bar that I saw in yesterday's Advertiser (10 Nov) is not available on line. So I'll type out the 13 ways to tell if you're a began. I thought a number of AFF members might like to check the criteria.
- You think Tex Walker's mullet is not ironic
- You have a pair of "good thongs"
- You names your daughter Khe Sanh, but spelled it Que S-Anne
- You hide the five-litre goon bag when friends come over, and bring out the 1.5 litre goon bag
- You still can't believe Chopper didn't win best picture.
- You are going to put wheels on that Torana in the front yard
- You give your three year-old a 600ml energy drink. Why not?
- You tailgate, because it's assertive driving. Besides, HSVs weren't designed to drive at 60km/h
- You have two suits - one for court and one for the races.
- You drink red tinnies during the week, Crownies on the weekend.
- You think it's un-Australian not to have a Southern Cross tattoo.
- You have a separate section in your wardrobe for Bintang singlets.
- You yelled out "Play some Acca-Dacca!" during Jersey Boys.
Bogans' heroes:
Taylor "Tex" Walker, Chopper Read, Warwick Capper, Darren Lehmann, David Boon, Andrew Symonds, Jimmy Barnes, Pink.
Well I can own up to good thongs and having partaken of the good goon on special occasions when younger. If I was stupid enough to go to Jersey Boys, I might have yelled out play some Acca-Dacca. But all those previews on Qantas aircraft were enough for me. Boonie and Barnes-ie are up there on my list of favourites.
Anyway, who is the most and least Bogan among AFF?
