Reason #859 why you should never ever pick a fight with a drunk Austrailian. Just don't do it. You will not win.

Avoid drinking contests with them, as well.

i'm sure he'll die in an absurd way relatively soon

He's my odds-on favorite to win a Darwin Award in the near future.

@4, Undoubtedly. I just hope he hasn't already passed on his genes.

I believe we are seeing the exotic species "hoon" in its natural habitat.

I was really thrilled when this word came up on "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" this weekend. Yes, I know that is pathetic on at least three levels, possibly four.

I think my ovaries just committed suicide.

As an Australian this makes me so proud. My favorite part is when he tells him he only has 10 seconds left to record on his camera. Not only are we smart but we are frugal with the use of technology, which is great for the environment.

And he doesn't even look like a rugby player.

I would like to counter balance this upsetting video with this link: http://www.youtube.com/user/summerheight…

Hoon was one of the mystery words on "Says You!" this week. Was it also a word on "Wait, Wait?"

@12, crap, I got my nerdy PBS shows mixed up. It was "Says You!".

What a moron.

2 rules (both stolen from Chris Isaak) have served me well living in Australia: 1. Never fight anyone you can out-run; 2. Apologise for everything (or to quote Marsalis Wallace, "fuck pride!").

Gawd I hate "Say's You". SOOOOoooo unfunny and desperate.
I can't even come up with a word that describes how bad it is. I bet they could, and it would be dumb, vaudevillian-attempted wait-for-the-laugh "comedy". On the other hand, "Wait, wait" is great.

The brow of the skull is the thickest bone in the human body. Sure, you can break weak glass with it, but why? What is gained by rattling your brain in this way?

Posted by Lee on July 15, 2009 at 9:59 PM

Okay, I have to admit that, as an Australian, I do this too. Not headbutting windscreens, but baiting drunk fuckwits. Fuckin hilarious.

I like that the windshield has a sticker that says- Bugger!
