So .... Finally a story to go with the video from Friday


Any excuse to celebrate our heroes, I guess

Hawkeye did love gin.

I don't know what his politics are, but I love him.

Read the comments on the website...they can't stand this guy.
I thought "Aussie" was Australian for "lush".
And that's! why I was able to have great success with the aussie chicks.

Thats because your willing to go down and under.

Zicke, zacke! Zicke, zacke! Hoi! Hoi! Hoi!

The first one always goes down the fastest. Light beer is good for this.

fta: he downed 2 1/2 pints - equivalent to a yard of ale - from a sconce pot in eleven seconds as part of a college penalty.

Australian college sounds awesome.



/Oblig and hot like a walkabout in the outback.

"In his memoirs, Mr Hawke suggested that this single feat may have contributed to his political success more than any other, by endearing him to a voting population with a strong beer culture..."

This may be our problem in America. Two top GOP candidates are either anti-everything or anti-anything

damn... his record of 2.5 pints in 11 seconds means he drank a 40 oz in 11 seconds... that's quite a bit of beer damn fast! i assume he was feeling the effects in about 10 minutes later...

He was PM when I was a kid. I love socialists.

Yeah, we're awesome.

Skolling. Learned a new word today. Thank you, Australia.

Actually, he was in Oxford at the time (Rhodes scholar). This bloke may well have been our last real left wing Labor PM (Keating has his moments, but the last 2 have been so centrist that I can't bring myself to accuse them of being socialist).

Here's to Hawke, he's tru blue
he's a pisspot through and through
he's a bastard, so they say
tried to go to heaven but he went the other way
Drink it
down
down
down

HaHa I was there. Was an awesome days play seeing Pup, Punter and Huss destroy the indian bowling attack was epic.

Hawkey was just the icing on the cake, I was about 20m away when it happened. Many beers were drunk that day

His academic achievements were complemented by setting a new world speed record for beer drinking: he downed 2 1/2 pints - equivalent to a yard of ale - from a sconce pot in eleven seconds as part of a college penalty.

I was put on disciplinary probation for doing things like that.

At Oxford, the sconce pot _is_ a disciplinary measure.
