I GUESS

But what if the Texans were just "American Australians?"

@ImportViking *mindblown* :O

@ImportViking Love this but also feeling left out here in NZ.

I mean, what could Australians and Texans possibly have in common? Besides a love for BBQ, a love for beer, a love for game hunting, a love for big hats, a love for big knives, a history of cattle ranching, a reputation for boisterousness- okay yeah, Australians are basically British Texans.

As an Aussie, I'd say we're more like England's Alaska; huge, distant, & inhospitable

@bunlikely There's some truth to this as well, but come out to the Lone Star State in summer and you'll find hospitable isn't exactly the right term for here either...

@txag70 I always thought Kansas was flat and boring, then I drove across west Texas. *shudder*. At least Kansas has corn and sometimes sunflowers growing; west Texas was just perfectly flat and level dirt, stretching from horizon to horizon.

@TuxedoCartman , sounds more like you're talking about the panhandle. west texas has all sorts of mountain ranges. up around lubbuck and amarillo,....all they have is tumble weeds. i'll clue ya in on a neat secret though. there's a fairly good sized canyon up by amarillo.....you'd never know it unless you're looking for it. and get off the main interstate to go to it. welllllllllll worth the side trip. just not in summer. you can fry eggs on the rocks there during summer

@TexasRuss *ding, ding, ding* You guessed correctly! I was talking about Lubbock and Amarillo, which to *me* is west Texas, because it’s near-ish to the border with New Mexico, but I guess locals have a different terminology. Most god forsaken bit of road I’ve had the pleasure of driving.

If I’m ever back that way, I’ll go looking for that canyon, thanks! I live in Las Vegas, and we have something similar: Mt Charleston. It’s like somebody dumped 20 sq. miles of Colorado Rocky Mountains out in the middle of the Mojave Desert— aspen trees, conifers, snow... the whole nine yards!— and nobody knows about it. I’m pretty sure it’s legal for a local to shoot you if you’re caught telling the tourists about it, LOL...

@TuxedoCartman Can confirm, used to live in San Angelo

@bunlikely As an Alaskan, I agree but we have less bugs and more winter-suited murderous animals.

I just thought I might mention that if you feel the need, you could always visit Texas, Queensland.

no, america is the texas of the world, australia is florida.

So that is why Russell Crowe have done so many cowboys movies

@Tarmaque
"Brother Australia doesn't look like any of the Australians I know"

As a rule of thumb, don't expect the SATW characters to resemble real-life people. They're stereotypes and caricatures. :P

@EricTheRedAndWhite I look almost exactly like brother Canada would in real life, except my beard is reddish. I'm even super hairy(you all know the picture I mean ;)) and have a slightly receding hairline.

@EricTheRedAndWhite (Psst! I know that! Apparently it isn't okay for me to make fun of that though. Or is it?)(And as I mentioned to KitsuneRyo, I actually kinda do look like Brother America. Just fatter. That said, I am not typical.)

@EricTheRedAndWhite Except the Danish, the Danish are exactly the same as these comics.

@Just-a-Nugget

Really? Danish girls look just like sister Denmark?

I was born in the wrong country!

Well, in that case Afrikaners are Dutch Texans! :-D

Which prompts me to wonder when Humon is gonna cover the different nations of South Africa...

@Frode Only the Rino Ranchers.

there is a town in Australia called Texas
