Haha, actually the Killer Bee thing didn't really pan out. Maybe just in Texas, but it's more a Central American problem if I remember right. So stay outta Mexico!

Yeah, i heard they have a three-phase damage cycle. My (australian) cousin say's it's always best to counter attack if one encounters such a beast.

You gotta watch out for the bogans! (bogans are australia's version of a hillbilly/redneck)

Nah but australia doesn't have that many dangerous things, i mean no more than america... you guys got killer bees!
that shit is CRAZY.
but australia is shit if your a gamer, huray for every game no matter whether its shit or awesome costing between 80-110 dollars!!!
the other day i went and looked at metroid prime 3 for wii, and its STILL $99.95
I still don't understand while Australian gamers don't just buy NSTC and import everything from America. Maybe I'm mistaken but I'm pretty sure MP3 sells for like $15, or even if its $50, even with shipping you save significantly, and I'm sure systems are jacked up in price not to mention late release dates...just buy American.

Well, if you buy a system from australia, because the systems arent too badly priced (we'd end up paying more if we shipped from america because of currency difference and shipping of a heavy box) then we have PAL systems so unless we mod our consoles we cant import ntsc games... even though that is what i usually do, but on newer consoles such as my wii i'd rather not mod it because of the online features and the possibilty of my wii getting bricked.
But usually if i buy games i can get from ebay for about 50% of what it would be at our game stores.

Also one of the things i hate most about australia is there are like NO places to get retro games or consoles, theres one store near me which is tryna pawn off a Sega Master System with 2 controls and like 3 games for $89!!! and there still selling DC titles for about 20-40 i mean WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!!!

haha well thats my rant

The problem with that advice is that the "quit it" portion of the process becomes much more complicated after the "hit it" maneuver has been completed. Much easier to "quit it" before all else.
