pdog what's an esky?
6th April 2006 11:30 PM
Daethgod esky is what Yanks call a 'cooler'

6th April 2006 11:33 PM
corgi37 You half wits call them coolers. You put beer in them, some ice, and sit on them if you get the big ones (which we Aussies do). Americans probably put beef jerky, little Yank flags, bibles, frisbees, turkey legs and fake tan spray in theirs.

We just put beer in them. Real beer. For real men. Oh, and real wine for the chicks and the more cultured of us.

I have 3 questions:

What in the hell is an "esky"?
Pre-booked parking? A joke, right?
Dancing & Singing... Do you mean to seriously tell me that there are imbeciles that need to ASK about this?

...you're killing me! lmao

pdog Whatever you call them, they're gay... LOL! Real men put beer from a bottle in their mouth. If it's hot and the beer gets warm, you drink too slow. The only thing needed is a bag to carry more than one around in, preferably brown made from paper...
Enjoy the show guys!
I love the enthuasiasm... Real Stones fans... Do you really call us Yanks? That's what we call jerking off. Then agian you call cook outside a barbie and to us it's a doll. and what's up with the brits and there fags? If anyone in America puts a fag in their mouth... All these great Stones fans seperated by a common language!

corgi37 Yes, you are Yanks. We call jerking off, jerking off. And, having a wank. Having a flog. Pulling the pud etc.

But really, you sissy Yanks. Drinking beer from a brown paper bag!. Ooooh, sorry your highness. Would you like a little umbrella in the beer too?

Nup, you dont open the bottle (we call the 1/2 bottles stubbies) - you smash the end over a mates head and drink the lot in one go. If you swallow glass, you laugh and have another as blood flows out of your anus. The 1st currency in Oz was rum. Its true!

Some say most of the politicians still make decisions while pissed.

here, we call drunk pissed. Yanks think being pissed is being angry.

We load our eskies into the boot or our car. You guys call that a trunk? WTF? And, it prawn - not fucking shrimp. And, no, we dont put them on the barbie. Well, gay men do. Real Aussies cook chops and steak and snags (sausages to you) until they are as hard as fucking marble, and we smother them in sauce (not fucking gay ketchup) and eat and chew until all our teeth are broken.

lol

But, we all agree - The Poms suck!
