My mom and dad thought it was stupid. My wife can't understand what they are saying. I just roll on the floor laughing.

They use to show the Paul Hogan show at midnight on a TV station where I grew up.  That was another funny show!

Better hats maybe, silly shorts definately but better beer? WTF have you actually been drinking stove cleaner? Cmon, millers and bud is like dish washing water with 2% alcohol would take 2 cartons to get a buzz.

Snhiner Bock my friend, a small brewery just outside of austin. its a dry dark beer that isn't heavy and is perfect on a warm evening (or afternoon, or for breakfast ;)). Anywav, the only difference between Fosters and Bud is the size of the can.

I don't always drink beer....but when I do....I drink Yuengling.

....Certainly not the most interesting man in the world.

When I was young Yuengling was we bought when we couldn't afford Bud.  Funny how it's changed its image without changing its recipe.

Fosters? Who drinks that shit <insert vomit icon> I dont know of any Aussies that would, bloody horrible crap thats sold to unsuspecting tourists and overseas crowd. There are much better beers about, for eg Boags Premium, Hahn etc
I must admit though given my recent jaunt OS I have succumbed to San Miguel pale pilsners and even their light beer.
I havent tried the Snhiner Bock I must try and search for it and give it a rating  ;D

You'll have better luck with "Shiner Bock" :-[. Still, its nothing to write home about, just a really good, dry, kind of light drinking, dark beer. Geared for hot weather, but still has some body to it. Its just a lot better than you'll find on tap in the average US roadhouse and its universal in Tx. Negro Modelo would come close, and it'll be easier to find.
