Foreign Aid For Australia

What's a shiraz? - a moose? All vineyards should be cleared to run cattle.
pipoman, does your father in law breed Angus cattle? I fixed a Benz for a local breeder last year who was showing some US guests around.
 
What's a Shiraz? Its the nastiest wine in Europe adapted to grow in Australia. It is the only wine worse than California Zinfandel. Americans buy it out of pity for the poor Australian farmers. :eek:

Welcome to TFL. We really like Australians, especially Blue Heeler. You guys are great folk and I hope you do to your pismire Liberal governemnt what the Canadians just did. :p
 
No self respecting farmer would grow grapes. If they can't grow spuds or run cattle they should grow hops, malt or chillies to complete the 5 major food groups - steak, chips, beer, whiskey and heartburn.
You should try some of our pinot noir it's just as awful. I use cab sav or shiraz in duck casserole, duck pie and venison chilli, but NEVER in a glass.
 
My long-standing Foreign Aid Policy

Is to buy beer for any member of any military that is an ally of the US. I will extend this to civilians if they are from countries that fit the above description. If you are in TX, stop by. I drink Bud, but I won't require that you do likewise :)

Pismire!!! Where is the icon for beer coming out my nose? MeekAndMild, you owe me a keyboard! I haven't heard that one since about, ah, maybe seventh grade (1968-69). Let me see, "Where the Woodbine Twineth?" On Borrowed Time, IIRC, and I'm pretty sure I do...:)
 
I tend to like Shiraz. I use it to make squirrel au vin. I also drink a bunch of it though from a paper cup.

If you want foreign aid, then here's a recipe:

1. Kill Americans. Everybody else who does seems to get a pile of my taxpayer dollars!

2. Protest on international T.V. and burn American flags. That seems to yield a large profit for countries that do.

3. Abolish the rule of law. Surely this will get you some $

4. Make sure at least 75% of your population lives in abject ignorance and poverty.

I guarantee you if you do the above four things, you will certainly begin recieving checks from Uncle Sam.

I prefer civilization myself though.
 
Squirrel au vin? I'd use a chenin blanc for such a delicate
rodent. The french were a couple'o'hundred years too late, a trully great roux needs a roo as a base to cook a world class roolyabase - skippy + cab sav + homemade butter = #1 tucker.
 
How in the world does a person collect bull semen???

There are several techniques. Manual stimulation, electricity is sometimes used, without having my reply edited, suffice it to say the picture in your mind is probably close.:D

Depending on the source, bull semen can be very expensive.

I think they are trading just for the continued correspondence. Both of them have high quality animals.
 
Sorry to burst your belief beef comes fom the grocery store.:D

If you feel this way, you may want to think twice about shaking your neighbors hand (weather you live in the US or Aussieland).:o
 
Beef may come from the store but it just doesn't magically appear out of nowhere, beef comes from cows. I very rarely shake anyone's hand.

There was a great Emo Phillips joke where he talks about being the city kid who visits the farm. He decides one morning to try his hand at milking the cows, but he doesn't seem to be doing very well.

Later he finds out that he was actually in a stall with a bull. He said then he didn't feel so bad that he only got half a cup.

:D
