1998 July 10, Gully Foyle, “Why does Gawd need representatives? (was: Free Will (Re: Why are there atheists?))”, in talk.atheism (Usenet):>> Yeah, or you could drink beer instead.
>Right, Fosters (ever been kicked by a kangaroo?)
Kangaroo piss more like it. Let's go for top shelf instead of the urinal, try something like Carlsberg or if you want Aussie beer try Cooper's Pale Ale ;^) Stix, or Cascade.
1999 July 18, Dave, “CANADA IS A GOOD PLACE....”, in alt.tv.southpark (Usenet):Hey! I was led to believe that Fosters was crap, and that the various Australian microbrews were the way to go. If that's the case, then wouldn't offering a Fosters to a visitor be an insult? Another way of saying, "Your palette probably cannot descriminate between a quality beer and kangaroo piss, so there's no need to waste the good stuff on you. Here, have a Fosters." :)
2001 December 12, Skip Press, “Osama's Tape and Al Jazeera's responce”, in alt.journalism (Usenet):Hey Billy, stop drinking kangaroo piss for breakfast and wake up.
