I'm okay. But I've told you before, there is no Melbourne in Austria. Let me guess, you're trying to write down the pronunciation, something like
Oss-try-ya? I was getting bored with the Official Zappa Forum after getting worn out by some of the attacks and had only posted once in about a week.
So it was weird on sat-dee mor-nun when I was actually in the mood and they'd shut it down. I remembered how you'd been saying this was a good forum
in that thread on the OZF, so I thought this was a good time to come and have a look. Thanks for asking and ha ya garn? |
Yeeeh, carnt cumplaayyyn. 
And i still write Austria because i still think it's funny that two countries so different and far apart could have nearly the same name. I consider
it a stuff up of the largest magnitude. |
I can appreciate the joke in it, but it is only valid in English.
The official name of Austria is in German, their official language.
Austria is named "Republik Österreich" In Dutch "Oostenrijk" and in French L'Autriche. (land in the east)
The name Australia is derived from the Latin Australis, meaning of the South. Legends of an "unknown land of the south" (terra australis incognita)
date back to the Roman times and were commonplace in mediaeval geography, but they were not based on any actual knowledge of the continent. The Dutch
adjectival form Australische ("Australian", in the sense of "southern") was used by Dutch officials in Batavia to refer to the newly discovered land
to the south as early as 1638. The first use of the word "Australia" in English was a 1693 translation of Les Aventures de Jacques Sadeur dans la
Découverte et le Voyage de la Terre Australe, a 1692 French novel by Gabriel de Foigny under the pen name Jacques Sadeur
I do have a questionmark about the french name for Austria
since east is l'est and Österreich is translated into L'Autriche.

No, you know I was only joking don't you? As DED says, it's a bit off topic so in an attempt to make it more relevant, I was thinking about what you
said about the two letters difference and realised it could be used as a cryptic clue in a crossword: Call me an Australian who resides in Austria.
Mind you, it's not a Zappa title.

Hey BBP, you haven't told me if my guess for your previous one is correct. Was it "The Torture Never Stops"? This new one with the yellow car, the
image location says it's a spider, so is it "Spider Of Destiny"? Or is it "Do You Like My NewCar?"?

Is there a Zappa song called "Do you like my new car"? Or do you mean "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy"?
Yeah it was "The Torture Never Stops" and "Spider of Destiny"! Well guessed!
