SkinnedAussie Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Crikey, seems like I've found a new home, but am so far away. Can I just say that living so far away (Australia) makes it rather difficult to stay up-to-date with what's happening with the Skins, and if it wasn't for the internet, I'd still be wandering aimlessly. Didn't know much about your game whilst I was growing up, but the day I watched the Super Bowl, live on the tube, where Doug Williams and co. tore the Broncs new ones, I was hooked. I don't expect to post much due to my lack of knowledge (I do know enough to explain the game to newbies though), but look forward to everyone's indepth and, being Redskins fans, highly intelligent banter. Well, I'm off to chuck another shrimp on the barby, and to blow the froth of a Fosters or 12. PS. Welcome home Coach. :respect: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sippin2020 Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 A friend of mine is in Australia right now in school. He says none of the locals drink Fosters, they all say it's crap. I'm sure they brew it locally in AU but if you look at a can from the U.S. it says it's brewed in Canada and imported through Reston, VA. But at the same time if I posted on a board in another country I'd say I was drinking a Budweiser and smoking a Marlboro, so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinnedAussie Posted September 17, 2004 Author Share Posted September 17, 2004 LOL WallyG3. We don't, we export it the US, but wasn't sure if you know what a VB is. If you don't, a VB is another beer known as Victoria Bitter. Preferred drink is Jack Daniels, but that's only for serious partying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Welcome Aussie. It's good to have that part of the globe covered. (I was under the impression the Aussies weren't so picky about their drinks ... the quantity over quality thing. Don't know where I got that, though. Probably the damned TV.)

I've never had to explain the taste before, but to me, it tastes just like water. Let me have a couple and I'll think about how I'll explain it to you. :40oz: :40oz: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, here, you start the night with quality, then comes the quantity. rdsknbill, I used to be a Beam drinker, but after touring the US in '92 and visiting the Jack distillery, I was converted.

BurgundyandGold_Soul Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I've gone to Australia many times and first of all there is no "Shrimp on the barbie", cause there are no Shrimps in Oz land. They have prawns over there and also no one drinks ****ty a$$ Fosters in Australia, its considered crap beer. So are you truly Australian or am I missing something here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big z Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 miss universe is hot.....good job australia! welcome aboard, but man, did you just use every austrailian sterotype there is or what.....pretty funny...:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinnedAussie Posted September 17, 2004 Author Share Posted September 17, 2004 I'm am truly an Aussie, but my opening post was written in a way that I thought would break the ice and that Americans could relate to. But, you are right. Shrimp are called prawns down here, and it can be quite difficult to get a Fosters, but they are gettable. Need more proof? Ask me something only an Aussie would know.

Better then some of the crappy beers we have here in the US..... The reason you think that beers in America are crappy is because you are selecting from the ones available in the DC area. Local Colorado beers out here are amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinnedAussie Posted September 17, 2004 Author Share Posted September 17, 2004 When someone goes on walkabout, it means to travel by foot across the country. The aborigines are best known for this, as they often go on walkabout in search of bush tucker (food). They often carry boomerangs and spears and hunt kangaroo and goanna. When Mick Dundee says he goes on walkabout, it means that he goes out into the scrub to get away from the stresses of life, and to live off the land.
