you can find cheap steacks here but there just that , the big thing in Vegas is AGED ANGUS Beef , Well I raise angus cattle and hell I cant telll the difference ..LOL

The sad part on the beer say like Budweiser , $4.00 a bottle at a tavern and buy a twelve pack at the store for $8.00 .

Yeah that's they way with beer, or any alcohol On Premise as opposed to Off Premise. Mark up is ridiculous!

Well Im lucky that steak is reasonably priced here because I love the stuff

yeah you are , steak is my favorite food , took my inlaws out last night for a steak for there anivesary and it dropped a nice 30. a plate and the steak was tuff as hell ...

Tough steak? They should be killed!

Just a good thing the waitress was hot or would have been a total loss ...

Steak in Canada is pretty reasonable, similar to Australia it seems, but again, it all depends on where you go. You can get a good steak for 20 bucks and you can get lousy steak for 40 and vice versa.

But when you go to Vegas, go to the Ellis Island Casino. It's a couple blocks off the Strip. It's just a hole in the wall place. Restaurant/pub and a casino. But if you want a good cheap meal, this is your ticket. Order the steak special, it's not on the menu so you have to request it from your server. For $4.95 you get an awesome New York Strip steak, potato, salad and vegetable. It's not the absolute best steak I've ever had but it was pretty high up on the list. Not what you'd expect for 5 bucks. Our server said he ate there all the time cuz he couldn't even buy a steak at a gorocery store for that price.
My wife and I each got a steak dinner and a couple beers each and our bill was 15 bucks. Not bad.


yeah but no matter what the price, it's still Budweiser

your right that casino is cheap food , only ate there once ..and it didnt give me gas , so it was worth the $5.00


Yeah Im not a bud drinker , as it gives me a headache . but it was a prop for the pricing ..

I make my own for even cheaper, but it's a lot more work. Thankfully I can get drunk in the process.

well then its all worth while ..

We havent had time to try the home brew , to busy growing our home grown weed ..

I'll remember that place in Vegas.... who am I kidding I'll forget in 5 minutes. I'll ask you again in one year!

Is there ANY good beer in America? Once again, no LITE



Are you sure you're not Australian?



Samples?

gnappster you would fit in over here if you brew your own
we finally got a hooters around the corner i went there for mothers day lol
we have had a hard rock for years in surfers paradise,good steak on the gold coast there are a few place but they are little and not well known but good value nightclub beer and spirits are overpriced, thats why you have family and friends that own pubs

There's another hooters up there a few blocks south of Cavill Avenue but it's a strip joint.... or so someone told me!

Surfers is a little different to the rest of Australia. Similar to Bondi in the way that it's heavily geared toward the tourist market, so they jack up the price on everything!

And you aren't kidding about the drink prices at nightclubs! Shooters was probably the worst. Melba's was ok as they had lot's of happy hours and The Shack was good one night when I went. They had a ladies night where the girls got one free drink every 30 mins. My wife doesn't really drink so she just kept going up to the bar to get the drinks and passed them to me

melba's has been around for years they must be doing something right i guess ,they had a cheap drinks until the first try state of origin thing but the bar is so full your lucky to get one or two b4 it happens ,what was the score of that game again??? sorry

Michelobe is not bad beer , amber bock , is getting popular , I drink and eat Busch myself ..




Might be able to arrange that ..

Yeah it's a good establishment... and I have wiped that night from my memory



Are those beers American AND full strength?

Michelobe I believe is full strength , Amber bock is a dark beer drank mostly by the preppies , its not a lite beer but I dont know the content .. Busch is a beer that i can drink alot of and it doesnt fill me up .thats my reason for drinking it and its fairly cheap .

I like Miller Genuine Draft (MGD). I think it's 4.9% or something, so it's not full strength but it's not really lite either.
But living in Canada it's not like I've tried every yankee beer on the market.

I'm not a fan of MGD. It takes like burning to me. As sad as it sounds, I prefer Bud Light to Miller Lite to lots of other stuff, to MGD.

My beer of choice for the summer so far is Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR) . It's actually pretty tastey for a shitty beer. and because it's not so popular, it's usually the coldest beer in the bar

its also cheap at the store so it's a good party beer. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's the comeback beer of 2007

spotted

Pabst Blue Ribbon? My English is not good, but I have to tell you, that beer is like swill to me. Do I have that right? I am saying that only a swine would drink that beer.

But I must confess, on a hot summer day, I can down a case of Miller High Life pretty easy. It's a cheap, shitty beer, but I kinda like it. It's my guilty pleasure.

haha. Spotted and well played.

And I belive only a true alcoholic can enjoy the finer things in life like cheap shitty beer. or is it the economical sense of shitty beer. or is it that if I learn to enjoy shitty beer, moderate tasting beer tastes like expensive beer.

well hwatever.

All I know is that 8 beers makes an ugly girl cute. I can get there with good tasting beer for $32, or I can get the same buzz for $14 still hvae $18 left over to feed the parking meter while I"m banging the broad in the back of my car. And then still have enough money to give her a quarter to call a cab.. and then still have enough money to buy go for breakfast with my wife. (it takes only 6 beers to forget I'm married)

So I'll remember to send you money for a couple of cases of beer before I head out to your neck of the woods

If that i the case, i am gonna start carrying 12 packs around with me!

I like it too. WHen it comes to Yankee beers we really only get MGD or Bud, which is imo the worst beer ever produced anywhere world wide!



Jesus you guys are really clouding up the waters, although I have been entertained with your simpsons references.

"Ahhh Barney's already sucked it dry Homer. Cut his gums up pretty bad"




BAM!

Ok so here is a pic someone took of the famous Coco Bongo nightclub in Cancun, Mexico. I am actually in this pic, kinda like Where's Waldo (Trivia: It's Where's Wally in Australia!)

For thos of you with my myspace I just got a whole bunch of new pics from my trip and I'm gonna post them. I'll include this pic with a cricle around me

howszat! ???[attachmentid=46336]

that's crazy talk. I don't need to drink to make you cute, you're totally already there.



oh, wait a minute. I bet the beer is for you to drink.

You've never had Schlitz, which is another great cheap shitty beer, that's always freezing cold if a bar is so awful as to even carry it.


Is that frowned upon in this office? cuz had I know idea.


If it weren't for the simpsons, I'd have no jokes.



that one made me laugh so hard I almost choked on my water that I just sipped.

I ain't no scotsman you guff speaking work slacker!



Nope, we don't import much beer from the states, it seems to be an acquired taste.

how did i miss all this in my daily rounds....but it's late now.
i'll write an essay of replies here in the morning.

Bondiguy's thread should be the first visited everyday!

bondi pm me your myspace i'm too much of a slack arse to try and sift through the 10000 odd people that reside around your area

I would have also accepted:
Moe: Barney, don't steal any beer while I'm gone.
Barney: What kind of pathetic drunk do you take me for? wow! Somebody spilled beer in this ashtray! (which he drinks)



that waldo is everywhere!




I think she'll need something stronger than beer.


I like how some beer companies market their beer as the coldest tasting beer available. Cold is a temperature, not a flavour.











I could sure go for an ice cold beer right now.


quiet you!


I used to visit it everyday, then it was every other day. Now I'm lucky if I can find half an hour a week in which to get funky.

In a truly disturbing twist, I picked you out correctly before looking at your myspace.
I have this weird ability to pick people out from a distance but I'm horrible at recognzing people's faces close up.
I guess it's from years of having to recognize girls from afar as they wouldn't let me get within 100 feet of them(the restraining orders may have played a factor as well).

I am too lazy to quote each part so allow me to say

1) Another fav
2) I was thinking of that, but I'm too lazy to look on other sites for FGs
3) isopropyl? if that won't work, chloroform is the only way
4) good point. I don't know why they do that either.... maybe it's because a freezing cold shitty beer is better than an almost cold good beer any day... well for me anyway.

and what's with Canadians and that superfluous U in everything
5) Hilarious!
6) oldie and goodie!

an excellent point.
molson has this new beer called sub zero which is dispensed at the bar through this special machine (the inventors should be in the space program) to pour at below freezing. Nothing is mentioned of taste but it's damned cold!
Never tried it myself yet.
Here's a clip of this thing. It's for Coors in the states, but it's all the same big ass company now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll3Hp4wc5FM

that looks pretty cool and high tech. they don't have that anywhere around here that I know of, though. I'll have to be on the lookout. But now that I'm married and have my own house, I don't really hit the bar scene all that often anymore. Maybe i'll just buy one of those machines for my own use at home. If it's any good, I'll invite ya over for my next party

might be able to get a hold of one here
http://www.icefloe.com/

that is smart. I used to have a setup (until my buddy's brother-in-law remembered who borrowed it last) similar to that. It was just a regular cooler with a cooling plate in it (looks like a car radiator). you just fill the cooler with ice and attach the hoses to you keg and bammo, cold beer. It had a tapper install in the side of the cooler, but I rigged up an O2 system for the thing. It was nice. I got to borrow the rig for about 2 years and then he payed me for O2 tank and the regulator. the cooling plate is the expensive part, though, and rightfully so. You don't want your beer going through any old piece of metal that they decided to make a cooling plate out of.

that sounds pretty sweet.
I'm looking to get(or build) something like that as cleaning and sterilizing dozens of beer bottles for my home beer is kind of a pain in the ass.

You should send me a 6-pack of Gnappy Heavy Beer. Light beer is for wimps! Please use the sterilized bottles

Oh, yeah, have you designed your own label yet?

i was thinking about designing my own beer label, but that's just one more thing to remove when I clean them.
I did design some for the base alcohol I made.
I'll pm it.

I already PMd you back, but I will also say here that that was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. I laughed so hard that people here at work thought I was crazy!!!


Actually, the laughing had nothing to do with their opinion of me, hence this rubber room I'm in.

My portrait has that effect on people

I'm also betting that the pic would appear normal to puppet.

either that or he'd think you're a fly.

So much to quote!



Will do



Cold beer is as important as flavour to us Aussies. When we visit other countries who serve their beer warm we hate it. Maybe it is because of our temperate climate but if it isn't cold, we don't want it!

Good quote!



Wow well spotted, I didn't even notice I was in that pic on my first look at it. I was like, "Is that me dancing on that bar?"



Aussies dou itu toou



There are a heap of companies that do that in Australia. We even have Rum ande Coke on Tap served below freezing! The Tooheys Extra Dry Extra Cold is doing a roaring trade served anywhere between -1C and -4C



Send it bondi's way too

I can't believe I just spent 20 minutes reading about beer in all its forms, temperatures and dispensers...

must have been the simpsons references...especially the ashtray one...

Oh no! What have I done? I smashed open my little boy's piggy bank, and for what? A few measly cents, not even enough to buy one beer. Wait a minute, lemme count and make sure... not even close.

Thats 20 minutes well spent... ope u were drinking beer whilst reading!

Oh and kudos for the quote! that's season 1, season 2 max!

absolutely, the campaign was too much for my weak mind...no cold filtered, triple brewed, extra hoppy, micro beer, though...just a Canadian from my really cold fridge.

Like Kokanee???
