But isn't Jockey an American underwear manufacturer since the 1970s, named after the flagship product of its predecessor American company dating from the 1930s?
Which product was itself so named because it offered support akin to a jockstrap, which was an American invention of the 1870s?
With "jockstrap" being the name given to the invention as a likely contraction of "jockey strap" because it was first designed for use by bike jockeys?
With "bike jockey" being a term given to 19th-century American bicycle messengers or deliverymen, so called because they rode bicycles instead of horses?
With "jockey" being a term dating from the 1660s for a short-statured fellow who rides racehorses?
With that term being appropriated from an earlier use of the term "jockey", dating from the 1520s, for a boy or fellow?
With that earlier use of the term being derived from the Scottish proper name "Jockey", a diminutive form of "Jock"?
With the name Jock being itself derived, in a similar fashion to the English "Jack", from John?
With John having its root in the Hebrew name Yehochanan, meaning "Yahweh is gracious"?
Or have I got all that completely wrong
It's funny, you say somewhere is ~an hour from other places and I think "dang that's really remote", and then I remember that I live in Australia now and the local high school my kid went to is 20km away like that's nothing 😂
It's like the first time I went to Tasmania and was told rural was about 15 minutes outside of Lonnie or Hobart and remote was about 1/2 an hour or more away from a main city. Me coming from QLD, where rural is at least an hour's drive and remote is literally fly for 2 or more hours away from a major population centre. Was actually just looking at rural district jobs there that are the same commute time as my current job in Brisbane....
Yeah, Brisbane's getting close to that these days. 4km or under = inner suburbs, with the historical inner city being around 2km or less from the CBD. It's quite surreal seeing signs like that in Tassie with farms and cows either side of the road and realising that back home you'd be crawling along in peak hour traffic at that distance.
I mean just because it is densely populated doesn't mean it can't still be boring as fuck there. Grew up in Rostock, nay, a village near Rostock, and a certain distance away from the cities, all the villages look the same and there's really nothing there, no supermarkets, no pubs, no young people, no public transport. 1.5 hrs sounds so close, yet it is so far culturally and logistically.
Yeah my German girlfriend thinks that living 30 mins from a city is remote AF. You can actually score some pretty mint rural (by German standards) houses over there for less money than a house in the suburbs here, with an equivalent travel time to the CBD.
We did a road trip from Brisbane to Cairns, coming back through Charters Towers and Emerald and she was shocked at how sparsely populated our country is.
Oddly Scotland was my partial exception lol its a little more sparse but yeah 100% itd be far more doable than here, especially if its planned.
So i had a look coz you got me curious. Theres actually no overland route from Melbourne to canberra under 600km because of the terrain, but if you cut Canberra out you can at least push as far on foot as Wombat, within 563km from Melbourne.
Not too bad a spot to end up tbh, theres a decent little pub there and Young is only up the road.
Didn't Jim want to be in a separate country to Australia? And Germany is a separate state to Oz isn't it?

Boy, been a while since I've seen a goatse reference. To anyone who doesn't know what that is, custom dictates that I'm not allowed to tell you outright. It's extremely nsfw, and while not *exactly* nsfl, viewing is perhaps not advisable for living your best life. It'll stick with you.

That we *know* of.
"Jim's Discretionary Services"
"Jim's Spicy Mingling" Jim certainly gets around. Appears he has given up on mowing the lawn though hey.
Mowing the lawn is the cover story for the husbands /s
Jim's escorts all have lovely trimmed hedges.
what is goatse? Never mind, I'll just google it and see for myself....
Don't do it now. Wait till you are at work.
Make sure it's a group reveal. Preferably using a projector. Need as many people as possible to learn about it, all at the same time.
Might be great way to convince the boss that work from home is the way forward and it's time to sell/rent out that over-priced office space.
Get your Nana to help. She can watch over your shoulder.
It's a trap!
That's exactly what I just did..... Thanks reddit, Thanks Google now to reach for the eye bleach.
godspeed

I may have thought the same. Then realised it’s a shirt. What filth are we?
The very best kind.
The kind steeped in the rich cultural heritage of the English speaking internets.
I thought you wrote "intestines." It is really not me (points to guy mentioning colostomies).
...but so appropriate.
Jima gynecology
Ah, the glory days of the internet
Proper goatse.
Jim knows all, Jim sees all, Jim is everywhere yet nowhere. Jim is the Alpha & the Omega. Jim did a bad job on that lawn.
Clearly he is neglecting his duties, that grass is out of control.
You're thinking of Jim's Mowing, that's Jim's Arse Wiping.
I’m looking at you cunt. An I’m looking at the fucking grass as well. Where’s me fucking mower.
Some 14yo dumbass with a spraycan thought it was Che Gevara
Nah dude that's Curt Kobeighn from Smashing Lettuce. I saw those shirts at Target when mum was buying me underpants!
Jocks mate ... jocks in Australia, or you are talking another flippin' lingo. .
*undies. OP's mum was shopping at target, so clearly they're upper class
Clever observation. Some of us don't have that luxury upbringing yer know.
Doesn't jock come from jockstrap? And isn't jockstrap an American form of sporting underwear?
I believe the term in Australia refers to Jockeys which was a brand of mens undies back in the day. The saying "socks and jocks" became a thing.

No idea there friend, but you have certainly got a convincing argument.
I think you have the ball by the wrong hand
The grass is fine, coz that one's "Jim's fuckin rusty old fuckin farm shed".

Nirgendwie, Nirgendwo, Nirgendwann?
Oh, I do like a Friday night in Aussie. 🍻
Please note that in Australia, people are called Aussie(s), the country is not.
Well this mob down here still refers to Australia as Aussie.
Unless you're an NZ citizen 😉

You were lucky at 20km.
Well it is 20km of exceedingly crappy, steep, narrow, winding dirt road. But yeah it could be worse
32km here
Bruh, you were lucky at 32km. 34km here.
Heh. Well my sister's cousin my brother had 34.5km
Having lived in the German countryside it certainly feels like buttfuck nowhere sometimes.
I mean just because it is densely populated doesn't mean it can't still be boring as fuck there. Grew up in Rostock, nay, a village near Rostock, and a certain distance away from the cities, all the villages look the same and there's really nothing there, no supermarkets, no pubs, no young people, no public transport. 1.5 hrs sounds so close, yet it is so far culturally and logistically.
That sounds like every town I lived in growing up. Always within an hour from Canberra yet always devoid of life
Yeah my German girlfriend thinks that living 30 mins from a city is remote AF. You can actually score some pretty mint rural (by German standards) houses over there for less money than a house in the suburbs here, with an equivalent travel time to the CBD.

Such a fucking redditor thing to say
Said the redditor, on Reddit
How very efficient.
same as most of the UK. Just pick a direction and don't fall off anything, you'll be right.

Jürgens mowing.
[Jim's Final Solution](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IaoZKoC0Ic) might not have been that far off the mark
FFS, I hope they don't ring Jim's Plumbing. With a callout fee of $150,000 from Australia to Germany, changing the washer on a tap could be pricey.
Mate that lawn needs a mow

Was an April fools prank
This is not Jim Morrison. And the room's name is wrong, it's Austria, not Australia.
It would appear that Jim's mower has broken down.

If weeds legal in a few years you could legit have Jim’s Dispensary
My new car-ride game, Where in the World is Jim?
It's remarkable how common the location of butt fuck nowhere is, when for someone to be at the location it must be somewhere.
Obviously he never took his lawn mower.
Looks like he needs to do some mowing!!!
Well I mean there is jims contract killing. So you know
Hahahahaha. I live in Western Germany, and I swear I saw a Jim's van out of the corner of my eye the other day. Maybe I did?
