I've thought about trying my hand at modding CivIV to some degree while listening to the show. Does that count?

WHAT! Way to generous! If you are going to be like that, I thought about winning at Deity while only building warriors!

For reference, I do know the words to Advance Australia Fair ... well, at least the first verse but no one wants to hear me sing . On the other hand, every aussie knows Waltzing Matilda even though that song contains a huge string of words that most (non-Australian) people don't understand ...

• swagman
• billabong
• coolibah tree
• billy
• Waltzing Matilda
• jumbuck
• tucker bag
• squatter

Basically, it captures Australia's convict past ... this guy is sitting beside his fire near a river, sees a sheep, steals it and then gets caught by the authorities, but runs away before they can catch him.

Except in the variants where he drowns. Even in the others ...
he died at some point. After all, that's usually how ghosts get involved.

I thought our national anthem was:

Waltzing Matilda
Boo for St Kilda
Up with the Hawks
And down with the Swans!
