Re: [BEER] (was- Don't wanna be out in the cold...Front subframe brace!)



It's been 10 years now since my Navy adventure to see the (third) world
had me in Bahrain playing soccer with my shipmates against a shipload of
big Aussie bastards.  Needless to say, they shoed us in the ass pretty
good; however, when they reached the 25-0 mark on us, they offered up
BREW FOR ALL!  One of the nibble nuts on my team said something to the
effect of, "Oh boy! Fosters!", to which they shot him many dirty looks. 
That's when we got the "We won't drink that muck! Why do you think we
export that shit?".  The passed out what to this day had to be one of the
tastiest brews I've ever had...but I can't remember the name.  As I
remember, it had a white background with red and black logo/lettering
with a tad of gold.  Smooth and refreshing baby.

That night, we took 'em to the bar and kicked their big joey eatin' asses
in 8-ball.  Then proceeded to get wasted on shots.  They retook the
throne in a 2-1 Aussie victory by leaving a group of pickled American
sailors to fend for themselves while they had a 6 mile foot race back to
their ship.  I couldn't find the door handle on the taxi I was carried
to.  Crazy bastards!

'Red Back' seems familiar...
