I think it’s my all-time favorite. Steve’s mini-rant about sausages reminded me of the one about money and the other one about wines (Melbourne Yellow and Cote du Rod Laver).
“This is a wine for laying down and avoiding!”

Real emetic fans will also go for a “Hobart Muddy”, and a prize winning “Cuiver Reserve Chateau Bottled Nuit San Wogga Wogga”, which has a bouquet like an aborigine’s armpit.
I once happened to meet a guy from Wogga Wogga, when he told me where he was from i fell out – he’d never heard the MP bit before and was surprised a Yank had ever heard of his home town where i had no idea Wogga Wogga was an actual place.
OMG! There IS a Wogga Wogga???
And what’s wrong with Watney’s Red Barrel? I enjoyed it very much, but it was seldom available on tap here. Was it just that the stuff seemed ubiquitous to some Brits, or were there serious concerns with it as a good heavy ale? It also went well half n half with Guiness, called a Black n Tan. I suppose that’s not de riguer with some as well (?).

I had a favorite t-shirt in high school that said “Aloha Puerto, Torremolinos, España.”
Got it in the gift shop in the hotel there. Aloha Puerto, that is.
Torremolinos, in general, was unable to support the glut of hotels that had been built there in the decade before I visited (1976) and was kind of desolate, but the beach was lovely.
