Also, if someone could be so kind as to elaborate on "Frankston", because I am very intrigued.

It's a loving poo poo hole. It's a suburb in the outer south east of Melbourne that is traditionally pretty poor but is super trashy. And to think, Hugh Jackman owns a house in the next suburb over.

It's crazy to think these were once remote towns, like Narre "Nazza" Warren, swallowed up by the urban sprawl of Melbourne but in no way enriched whatsoever.

Wonthaggi et al aren't far off either.

Preaching to the choir, I used to live in Werribee which is marginally better than Frankston.

It's a couple spots where they all congregate and to no surprise these spots are right near the local shelter/Greyhound station. Everett just has a fair number of homeless/ transients for a city its size.

Werribee is Frankston, but with the added joy of smelling like poo and not being near the beach.

Werribee doesn't seem to have the same level of bogan stigma in popular opinion that Frankston has for some reason. Not sure why, I guess people mainly think of it as "the place with the sewage treatment plant" and not "the place with drugs and bogans"

It's the place with all three of them. The WTP thing is overblown, I've even worked on the wetlands out there and there's no smell at all because the tanks are underground or sealed.

lol, no you didn't you grew up in Frankston east - Karingal is just what you call it so you don't have to face the fact that the only thing separating you from The Pines is a golf course.

I feel better knowing other countries have a South too. Canada, Australia, Washington State... Whenever I get tired of people saying X place is so much better than the US, I think of your bogans and tweakers and feel a bit better.

Pokemon is old enough to drink.

I don't know if that makes it classic and don't have any opinion on the matter really, but I'm pretty sure it's closer chronologically to the beginning of the modern video game industry than it is the present time.

I was just passing through to board a ship and don't know what a banana bender is. And now that I look it up, what exactly is the etymology of that?
