You admit that you don't know very much about beer, you haven't tried very many American beers, and you're actually open to the idea of using skittles to flavor beer. So, unless I'm mistaken and you're some sort of beer connoisseur, I'd say that your unqualified generalization of all American beers is far from "the obvious truth".

God knows what you'd do with yourselves on that little island if you didn't have America to bitch about ;)

Insinuate that New Zealanders fornicate with sheep (a very long running joke between the two countries), claim Tasmania isn't part of Australia and they're that all incestuous (a very long running insider joke, but probably more known in rural area), blindly state Australia isn't a racist country even with blinding amounts of evidence that prove the opposite (ethnic gangs, rioting), seeing as it's now the warmer seasons, keep an eye out for tiger snakes and other deadly snakes (I recommend reading up on these, they're quite interesting. Copperhead, King Brown Snake, Inland Taipan, Red-Belly Black and several more. Also interesting is the Australian poisonousness spiders and sea creatures. Sea creatures especially, since the hot weather has arrived and people will be swimming more often), diligently make sure the property is reasonably safe from potential bush fires.

Then there's boxing with Kangaroos, can't forget that.

I did? When?

I go for weird sounding names. Not necessarily a country of origin.

and you're actually open to the idea of using skittles to flavor beer.

You're talking to a guy who once baked bread, while mixing in nacho ingredients to produce what we referred to as "Nacho Bread". (In essance, crush up some corn chips and add them into bread dough, bake the bread in the shape of a bowl, then add cornchips and salsa inside and recook. Very delicious, earned me an A+ in creativity.)

If it sounds interesting, I'll do it. I have no problems with morphing the tastes of things with other things.

Is that not why we dump Gummy Bears into Vodka and Tequilla shots? After all, what's the difference between adding Skittles to beer and Orange Juice to Tequilla?

So, unless I'm mistaken and you're some sort of beer connoisseur

I wish.

I'd say that your unqualified generalization of all American beers is far from "the obvious truth".

I'll be sure to check out Uni and Tafe courses which make me qualified to judge the taste of a beer. I hope it's a well paying job, certainly sounds fun enough. Have to get a place close to work though, can't drive and none of that spitting out crap. ;)

All I know is that my wife wants to visit Australia and New Zealand in the next couple years, and between the stories of the huge/deadly spiders and stuff like the blue-ring octopus hiding under rocks on the beaches, I'm wary. My mom grew up in New Zealand, and she also has a pretty nasty story about how she once tripped on a colony of fire ants.

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest where there aren't really any poisonous/creepy animals at all... hence I'm a bit of a wuss when it comes to that sort of thing.

Not as dangerous as it sounds, after all, if the animals were that aggressive and deadly, there'd be far more reports of animal attacks than what there actually are.

You get about three people attacked by sharks a year, most of the aggressive animals have an antivenin. And just avoid Sydney. Not just because it's home to some really nasty animals, but because it's also a hole.

One night of drunken fun, some of the brothers of my fraternity decided that one of the boys had had a little much and we cut him off. We opened a bag of popcorn, and threw it into an empty glass, and told him it was beer, and he started drinking popcorn.

Somewhere along the line, once the bag was opened, popcorn started ending up in our beer-filled Dixie cups and even one of the vodka bottles.

Suffice it to say, not everything mixes well with alcohol.

I wouldn't mix popcorn with anything except icing sugar OR melted butter. (Note the OR, definitely not together.)

Generally most chocolate lollies don't end up in drinks either. Gummy stuff does however. And I've never given skittles that kind a thought, which is why I'm curious to try it.

Just a note Tiberath All because you can't watch PORN with the Australian Censorship doesn't mean you have to go against it...

That's just some uninformed information right there. We can watch watch porn, there might be two censors in place. One for illegal material AND porn and one for just illegal material.

And that censor isn't in place yet. And I'm betting that it wont make it into the fold.

Also, nice key. Falconer is a good band.
