In Reply to: About Russell Crowe and Mel Gibson... posted by theKiwi on May 14, 2000 at 19:51:17:
Or did you notice I have a thing for buckskin kilts and make the natural association? "You will never take our freeeedooommm!" LOL, these non-Aussies just get all the great epic lines.
: : They're not australian.
: Russell Crowe was born in New Zealand. Mel Gibson was born in New York City.
Wow...why does everyone always refer to Russell as being Australian, in that case? Is it like when someone's from Boomphuk, New Jersey and always refers to themselves as being "from New York" just so they won't have to deal with the blank stares of people poorly tutored in geography?
As for Mel, I didn't even know anyone thought he was Australian. I still can't figure out how he got into this. Or do you just have a thing against Australia?
: just thought you'd like to know...
Thanks. It goes in my mental file of information about celebrities which I would never possibly need to know in order to function in this world, yet which I will remember in fifty years when I have forgotten my social security number.
