That was it the XXX Ale! Good catch. As imports or craft brews here go, it was a fine one. >> Haven't seen that over here in 20 years. |

It surely isn't. I'm off O/S next year for a week, mostly because it's so much cheaper and partly because there's only a few places left in Aus that I haven't been to. |

If you're from Hobart, it's Cascade. Yes. It's a criminal offence to admit that you drink Cascade if you're from Launceston, conversely you keep quiet if you're in Hobart and drink Boags. |

There's no similarity whatsoever, aside from both being 'natives' of their respective lands. You might as well compare New Yorkers to Tibetans, that's how different they are. Maoris are really Polynesian in origin, whereas Aboriginals are, well, Aboriginals. |

Means smokes a joint, or a more general term for gets wasted? I'm reminded a bit of our Latino car culture, cute kids. Also, that wagon they were sitting in looks a lot like an Aussie Ford Falcon, maybe late 60s... >> Does Tas still brew that sublime Boag's Ale? > > Yes. if you're from Lonnie. If you're from Hobart, it's Cascade. A new one on me too. Ever see this NZ film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NV45ZuepZo Now that Dad blazes, and worse... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8MwA7YkFMM Tough film to watch, but a good one even 20 years on. |

I get that, and I should have phrased it culturally, as so many indigenous peoples seem to share similar maladies of alcohol and drug abuse, violence against women, animals and kids, and marginalization from higher education. Here on our "Reservations" one of the worst trends has been the integration of east LA gang culture amongst young Indian males. It is a very, very sad thing. |

Here we have a melting pot as well, but with many more Puebloan native cultures. I'm not as well-educated on California's native tribes, the Chumash come to mind, but many others were simply assimilated out of representation. |

The last show I saw on it indicated there is a lot of active mining going on there, but you'd have to think the locals have learned how to mine a tourist's pockets for bounty as well. Sure is flat out there. |

I will say this, despite the massive oil spill, which was miraculously consumed by microbes, the Gulf shrimp have never been pinker, plumper, or sweeter. No joke. You'd be one happy camper. |

We can thank Jones and Cook for sticking around for *Swindle*. Malcolm was the glue between NY and London. Medavis accuses me of imitating Rotten vocally, which I take as praise, except he focuses on my affecting an English accent, based on one vowel sound, when really the long E sound is not a long A. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYkvma1ysfo I know you dislike me, and if you hears The Bonobos, you might think that my voice sucks shit. Heck, the main reason the band broke up was one integral member's desire to never hear me sing again. Still, the School of the Americas album is up there with Never Mind the ******** for subversiveness.

WTF? I'm as anti-union as they come, I've seen both sides and unions are every bit as bad as business monopolies. Collusion and price fixing on labor is no better than the same on products. I also don't hire anyone for anything, I do everything I need myself. |

There may be other times it would be appropriate but this isn't one of them. -- Socialism never took root in America because the poor there see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarassed millionaires. - John Steinbeck |
