Haha, thanks, and yeah - I've never been famous for my fashion sense, though I like it so I guess that's what counts :p
And it's just a wild guess, but I believe it sells clothed mannequins... or maybe it's there just to annoy the Scots and the Welsh that accidentally end up in a shopping mall in the middle of the Amazon :p |

Also, I do have to point something out:
My wife isn't Japanese, she was born in a local hospital, like Jackson's ex :p |
I was referring to her ethnicity not nationality.
If you won't do it for her will you indulge me and mix in a collared shirt now and then. |

It's kind of like how we have a cosmically unnecessary chain of "Australian"-themed steakhouses.
They've led me to believe that the only thing different about Australia is that their restaurants are very dimly-lit, their utensils are unreasonably chunky, their salads are vastly better than their meats, and everything is way more expensive than it should be (probably the only true one). |

I've always assumed the Bloomin' (emphasis on the colloquial apostrophe) Onion was the Americanized bastardization of the true Aussie version:

Don't you forget about the Aussie Cheese Fries! They're like ordinary chips... but they come from Down Under! And with cheese. And bacon. And diabetes.
You can order it without bacon, and one serving feeds a family of 5. |

I've never have eaten at one but I do enjoy their spokesman's accent. Come to think about it are there any steakhouses in the outback? I thought it was a sparsely inhabited wasteland? Do they even have any locations in Australia? |

Do Americans all talk like Texans?
Do Americans all talk like they are from Jersey?
Do Americans all talk like they are from Boston?
Do Americans all talk like they are from the deep south?
Think about that. |

Some Australians do speak like Steve Irwin, but that's a pretty rough accent, really. You'd be more likely to find that kind of accent out in country areas, rather than in the cities (though it definitely does exist in cities too).
I've posted this here a bunch of times, but this is me speaking the Trainspotting "Choose Life" monologue, so you can judge for yourself about the accent.

| Lol that's great don't think I ever heard that b4. Hearing you is a completely different experience than seeing you. Like two separate ppl in one. Now I understand what you're saying about the accent. |
