You forgot "calling people 'mate'"

rat-peat?

I do believe that's the first time I've seen the word traipsing in a Fark headline...

Big Rats

I saw this on CNN. The mice aren't really "surfing", more like standing on a little surfboard while he gives it a push.

The rats should be named Pete and RePete...

No no no ... the term is Surf Rat

first time this has been on Fark TODAY

Mice are -not- rats!

Mice are rats' hyperactive, retarded little cousins.

Don't eat his "shrimp on the barbie"!

Voice : Nighty-night, big-headed laboratory rat.
Brain : I am not a rat. I'm a mouse! [BLAM!] Oh, drat.
Pinky : Oh, that rhymes too, Brain. Oof.

Australia is so cool.

Instead of how about

Australians don't drink fosters; they just pee in the cans and ship it to the US.

/had an australian girlfriend
//insert outback joke
///actually, don't bother.

actually, i AM a surfing rat.

Chopper just needed something new to do

he wasn't playing knifey-spooney?

There was a guy doing this last week. Small world.

Still not as cool as a flea circus.

Pobody's Nerfect.

I've never met an Australian who thought that Fosters was anything other than crap to sell Americans.

That's not a knife

Ron Burgundy and the water skiing squirrel unavailable for comment

I used to have a pet crested rat. Never could get him to do much of any tricks. He just liked to cuddle and crapped whenever he felt like it.

He was a pretty good pet even if I couldn't quite get the Willard thing down.

What!!! No photoshopped Animal Planet channel Rat Hunter pics yet???

Do the mice have little pairs of Stubbies to wear?

They don't drink Fosters
They brew Fosters in Canada.

And this is different than the San Diego jet-skiing rat how?
\squirrel=rat
\\interesting eats though, but not much meat

I'm more of a fan of the skateboarding bulldog.

this thread is worthless without boomerangs

Repeated comment for a repeated story:
It just amazes me the feeding frenzy the media go on with stuff like this - I've seen this in a newspaper, on several different radio programs, and on TV just today. Scary lack of broadcast material...

And now twice on fark, the amazement continues...

To think I have always thought of rats as land pigions.

Annoyance this thread is worthless without boomerangs

This thread is useless without Warfarin.

Rats can even be found in the most prestigious House in America:

Aussies don't drink Fosters, but they do drink an awful beer called VB (Victoria Bitter).

Please don't soil our name by saying we drink fosters....

Safetyboy: Please don't soil our name by saying we drink fosters

Ahh, James Squire! Ahh, Little Creatures! But what's that awful New doing between the two?

/What's Foster's?

WordUP:Ahh, James Squire! Ahh, Little Creatures! But what's that awful New doing between the two?

I have to drink something when I am not being a beer snob - it is my low rent tipple of choice - better than VB imho.

Of course, not being a beer snob happens to me less and less these day, if I am going to fill my body with fat producing alcholic goodness, I might as well use the best.

Don't mind the occasional Sam Adams every now and again as well, but it is not so Australian so I didn't bang it in.

And not to threadjack completely (not that it was a good thread anyway), but those in Sydney should take themselves immediately to The Australian up in the rocks and drink a Pint of Scharers, followed by anything else that takes for fancy - damn fine beer that.

Australians don't drink Fosters. It's what we give to foolish tourists who don't know the difference between beer & urine!
