Rohirrim, asthma

From the journal of [livejournal.com profile] micheinnz:

"C says the Rohirrim are the "bogans of Middle-Earth", and I can see his point. "

She's right, you know. I'm surprised their horses didn't have extra-bright torches and mead-brand stickers on them.

Spot the Bogan







Just got back from the medical centre. Ever since my cold just before Christmas I've had a presistent cough. The doc prescribed Tilade and Seritide to go with the Ventolin I'm sucking down in quantity.

So a bogan's the Australian equivalent of a redneck? When I first read this, I was thinking, "But the Rohirrim aren't short little fey guys..."

(boggarts, that is)

Yes! Bogans are rednecks without the firepower.

The "RUNPIG" plate. On a police car, this is particularly amusing.

You know, it did look a bit like an "M", but that made no sense to me. The alternative did.

What is a RUMPIG?

rumpig

That's a fake numberplate based on the 6 alphanumeric limit set by the Road Transport Authority. RUMPIG plates can be bought at bottleshops and are a promotional thing produced by Bundaberg Rum - the rum of choice for discerning bogans.

The real numberplate is the black-on-yellow thing on the right hand (drivers) side of the car.

That's the Callahanians. That news group is a punfest.

The Boganized ute was a Ford XR8. You probably don't get them Over There.

Heh. But Roo-Bars are standard issue for vehicles that share the road with roos, and on vehicles owned by Bogans that never leave the town speed limits. And on SUVs.
