So why doesn't Australia have a base in the US?

Alas, the "top end stubby" was phased out a few years ago. It was a bit hard to drink it before it got warm.

I looked on youtube with no luck, but years ago I saw on TV a semi-pet Brahmin bull would walk into a bar (really), pick one of those bottles up with its mouth, tip it back, and sink the lot in about four seconds.

It's probably best not to think about what might happen next. Although, this might be why we need 2,500 marines.

Since the USMC learned their basic tactics from an Aussie back in The Great War, maybe they're there for a refresher.

I don't know what commercial you saw but this might be the bull, and this might be the bottle.

Crocodile wrestling practise?

A top secret mission involving kangaroos?

ZenGum · 12-06-2011, 01:11 AM

Hmmmm ... maybe my memory had one of those beers.
I definitely remember a TV news snippet with the bull in the front bar, and I'm sure he drank it in WELL under a minute. I'll go up to 15 seconds, max.

Seems we have a bunch of alcoholic cattle up north. Not one of them is on the (bullock) wagon.

ZenGum · 12-06-2011, 01:12 AM

But they do like their beers cold. Friesian, even.

Griff just posted an interesting graph showing
daylight hours of light during the year vs latitude.

Does the equator area demonstrate the tilt of the earth towards the sun ?

Check it out...

Wait. What? WHAT? What? What? What? (I've gone off the deep end, get me to Bellevue) WHAT?

101 MILLION DOLLARS? That's like a million per dalmatian.

That. Doesn't. Even. Make. Sense.

The freaking .0000000000000000000001%.
