I paid $3.50, but got free onions. Interested to hear what others paid.

Thank you, I immediately went from "the fuck?" to "ugh, 'muricans", then I saw the magazine and got actually interested.

I don't quite understand, I couldn't see a magazine.

Just to be sure, it is an Aussie thing...

Magazine is just kbin term for community.

As I was witheringly told by an American lecturer a decade ago when I bitched about Oz becoming the 51st state.

"Don't get too big for your boots son. The 51st state is Canada and if you're lucky you might squeak in at 60 after we've sorted Puerto Rico, Guam Mexico and whichever Middle Eastern countries seem like a good idea"
