Beer, football and thanksgiving...

[Free]

So rather than hi-jack Creative Ones B-Day post I'll start a new one

I asked what Thanksgiving was about and got the reply...

I love that record! What's the significance? I would have thought the hippies weren't into football?

Also, I LOVE NFL!!! I used to watch it about 6 years or so ago and got right into it. We have a new sports channel that plays Sunday and Monday night football live (Monday and Tuesday mornings here), it's great. Like I said, it's been a while since I watched it and it was pretty weird watching Farve throwing in the wrong direction yesterday though! So I was always a Cowboys supporter ('cause of the cowgirls, no other reason), who else should I barrack for now it's one regularly???

As much as I like it, I've got to say though, your NFL guys are pretty soft with all that armor and stopping for a sit down every few minutes! I don't know how they'd go playing rugby / league and Aussie Rules down here?

Check out the way we do it down under...

Some big Aussie Rules hits

And Rugby Union

I can't find any huge rugby league tackles, but they get some big ones there too.

I've probably just insulted every American on the forum, dissing your footy players, so while I'm at it, I might as well have a go at your beer

Do you guys really truly honest to god drink Millers & Bud??? Or do you just pretend and laugh at the tourists (like Australians do with Fosters)?

Bloody hell, I tried 'em both in Hawaii and sorry, but I couldn't finish either! talk about watered down swill! I had to end up drinking Fosters, and that's one of the worst beers in Australia (arguably behind XXXX)

So anyway, when is this thanksgiving, and who's going to win the superbowl?

Cheers
