A small, quiet town situated near Sydney where the new SUPERMAN movie was filmed, which is in Australia.
Also where quite a significant number of gays and lesbians exist. This is a true fact. The number of gays and lesbians in this town have caused quite some social friction in the town in the last few years, especially with the increasing xenophobia (thanks to 9/11 and the Iraq War, etc.). There has been Gay Pride Parade last year which was established by Jackson Lennan, a prominent gay member of Gunnedah; who fights constantly for the rights for gay and lesbians in Gunnedah against the Conservative types- especially involved in the Council and some Church leaders. Amongst these gay-pro efforts has been town artist, Monica Blanche who has helped organized the Gay Pride Parade along side Jackson.
There have been a few gay bashings, one of the victims being a close friend of Jackson's, Tom Smith. The Gunnedah Council in response has stated that Tom 'needs to sort himself out and get back on the straight and narrow'.
The town of Gunnedah has been experiencing growth economically and population-wise thanks to the movie Superman and discovery of ethanol in the area. This has created lots of oppurtunities for many people. The use of ethanol has reduced prices in fuel considerably, however, some service stations in the town have been known to jack up their prices and pocket the profits. Some such people of the service station industry include Phil Thomas and the prestigious John Lennan- who also runs a milk company too.

Get the gunned-out mug.A disease very similar to Middletons' Disease only much worse. This disease is suffered by Beatrice Middleton when she wants to play with the kids, but they aren't there. It is also commonly seen in the Middletons' pet dog, Bumper, when he wants to play. When she gets Gunny Granny Flu Beatrice is often stuck in the house and is very lonely. It is cured by intense workouts and other treatments such as massages. So if you love the comic strip 'The Middletons', be careful - you might get Middletons' Disease and the Gunny Granny Flu.
Bumper: Uh oh, its school time again. I bet Miss Beatrice will have the Gunny Granny Flu.
Rusty: She sure will! Its tough when the kids are in school. Crazy fall time.
Beatrice: Yes, it is crazy around this time. But think of it this way: you get to spend all your time with me. Isn't that sweet? (She reaches for a Martian Mud and rubs it into Bumper's fur)
Bumper: Thank you! That's better. Now I've got the Gunny Granny Flu. What else can we do?
Rusty: Well, I know she likes to stretch. How about we stretch each other? (Bumper and Rusty start stretching on each other)
Beatrice: Yes, that's it. You two know how to make a Gunny Granny feel better. Now how about a game of fetch? (she throws a tennis ball to Rusty)
Bumper and Rusty: Poor Beatrice! She doesn't know what to do. I guess the Gunny Granny Flu will never end. Its just so sad.

Get the Life Gunner mug."Anti-Gunner" is a term that refers to people who are against firearms. Literally. They just can't stand them.
More often than not, Anti-Gunners' knowledge of firearms is little-to-none because of their blatant ignorance and unwillingness to properly research anything about firearms.
People of this type often support the removal of constitutional rights in order to build temporary solutions to complex societal problems.
Admittedly, they are an entertaining bunch. Especially when they refer to firearms such as the AR-15 (likely because it's the only one they can name due to it's popularity with negative media coverage) as "Weapons of War" or "Weapons of Mass Destruction" or "High Power Rifles."
Hilarious hyperbole aside, Anti-Gunners are partially caused by media interpretation of firearms, and their unwillingness to dig deeper into the issues related to firearms.
