That’s what I said… it’s @tigkiwi saying it isn’t… also that is a sin. It is forgivable on a hotdog proper if accompanied by mustard.
These things are important! (or something)

It’s red sauce. Just ask the people outside Bunnings.

You only get that when the electoral collage throws anti-democracy oranges at those who voted

We are a simple people, and after a hard day working on a construction site in our blue singlets, we say goodbye to our mates, and head home to our shielas to drink Fosters Lager, the most popular beer in Australia with a great taste that is uniformly loved here. If you are ever over here, make sure you always order Fosters lager, no matter where you go, and tell every one around what a great beer it is, it offers great offence if you forget to do this.

We all enjoy a thin, fatty beef sausage, way overcooked, served with some burnt onions on a piece of plain white bread with a shit-ton of tomato sauce squeezed over the top. BBQ sauce if you enjoy exotic food.

There are a lot of donkey votes as well where people enter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and so on. Position on the voting slip is selected randomly so it adds a random factor to every election.

Are those from the B5 Zócalo?

I’ve never understood while Fosters has been successfully marketed outside Australia while Victoria Bitter hasn’t. (Well I guess I do understand, it’s because VB tastes like drain cleaner until you get used to it. But you will get used to it, and you will like it.)

As it turns out, they’re from a street festival a block over from me, nowhere near as exotic as B5. :slight_smile:

I swear, that bucket-hatted beardy bugger’s got a franchise for everything these days.

Ok, let me put this in context.

  • You’ve endured months of sad political campaigning.
  • You’ve gotten up on a Saturday.
  • You’ve had how-to-vote cards shoved at you by the Left, Right, Nominally-green-progressive, Sex, and Nationalism/racism parties.
  • You’ve numbered some boxes.
  • Congratulations, have a democracy sausage.
