That's fucking digusting, who thought drinking beer from a shoe was cool??
Aussies. And you'll do it with them, if you're ever lucky enough to be near their a celebrations
I know from Daniel Ricciardo popularized it in Formula 1
Id rather drink a fosters than beer out of a shoe
I'd rather drink my own fermented piss than drink a fucking fosters.
I've done didgeridooie
We found a prosthetic leg in the park and my mate did a legie from it
I've seen blokes do them through raw fresh fish too
Does this hurt the fishie?
According to Nirvana they don't have any feelings
Less disgusting than allowing children to be slaughtered so that feeble excuses for men can own firearms to compensate for their inadequacies
Less disgusting than the genocide in Palestine
Less disgusting than Uighurs being used for slave labour because of their religion
There are many disgusting things in the world, this is light-hearted fun
Ah yes, the two choices: drinking beer from a shoe or committing genocide.
I get that you're upset about these things, but they don't really have anything to do with this post.
Even the comment you're replying to is asserting a different kind of disgusting.
I'm Australian, and people often seize the shoey as a way of telling me that we're all uncivilised filth
It's a sore spot, especially when it's just a laugh
I've never actually done a shoey
To be fair, the Aussies that are doing shoeys are uncivilised filth. Ive also done a ton of shoeys and they are disgusting, you can taste the shoe.
I get that you dislike the stereotype, but it still doesn't have anything to do with the issues you listed.
Sir, this is a discussion about drinking beer from a shoe.
