Bigger than anything Texan

Vin, I hate to tell you, but that is a tiny barbie compared to ours.

I know you really wanted to come to Harv's place for the Norte Texas get together, but you don't have to start picking on us.

Anyway, we all have barbies similar to this one. Just in case we have Aussies drop in for a stay.

You figure we could rent one of those for our next TBN Norte Tejas get together? Might need it.

Dean,

OK you win that one what about this one

World’s Biggest Sausage Sizzle to Save Lives
Gearing up for the World’s Biggest BBQ this Sunday are Coraki Lions Club members (l-r) Anne Gwynne, Norma Thomas, Margaret Powell, Pat Brickley, president Allan Newman, Maryanne Fretus and Glenda Scurr with local kids who will be joining in the event (l-r) Britney, Lachlan, Isabella, Cameron, Jackson and Mitchell.

The Lions Club of Coraki will attempt to make a new category in the Guinness Book of Records when they host the World’s Biggest BBQ this Sunday, April 14 in Coraki.

The World’s Biggest BBQ will take place simultaneously in 500 towns and cities across Australia this Sunday, and is the largest single event ever held to raise money for children with cancer.

Proceeds from the event will go to the Children’s Cancer Institute Australia, which provides financial assistance to families who have a child suffering from cancer.

The national target for the day is $500,000 and Lions Club of Coraki president, Allan Newman, is encouraging local people to join in the fun and help make the event a success.

“We want people to come and enjoy the company and the hospitality of the Lions Club of Coraki, but more importantly help us raise money for cancer research,” Allan said. “The more people who turn out the more money we will raise, and even if you don’t want to eat just come along and join in the fun. We need as many people as possible to attend locally and if we get enough people nationally we will create a new category in the Guinness Book of Records for the World’s Biggest BBQ.”

Darn, all that effort and they're going to miss the best part. It's still here in Texas! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

To do it right they'd had to have Mikim of TBN cookoff fame tending the fires and my wife's marinating of the meat. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

But I'm understanding you understand. It's more difficult to do things right down there than it is here in Texas. We'd probably find it just as hard if we started off doing everything upside down. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

(I spent three weeks in school with about fifteen guys in the spring of 1968. It was seven days a week twelve hours a day and in Viet Nam. Two of my fellow students were Aussies. I've earned the right to kid.)

Harv,
 We'd probably find it just as hard if we started off doing everything upside down. 

The above is an interesting concept this may explain why we constantly lose parachuter's.

A Texan farmer goes to Australia for a vacation.There he meets an Aussie farmer and gets talking.

The Aussie shows off his big wheat field and the Texan says,"Oh!We have wheat fields that are at least twice at large!"

Then they walk around the ranch a little,and the Aussie shows off his herd of cattle.The Texan immediately says,"We have longhorns that are at least twice as large as your cows."

The conversation has,meanwhile,almost died when the Texan sees a herd of kangaroos hopping through the field.

He asks,"And what are those?"

The Aussie replies with an incredulous look,"Don't you have any grasshoppers in Texas?"

this is how Aussies do their brush hogging
Basic pulling unit required for this attachment is a minimum of a D9 caterpiller.
Please note the man standing beside the unit (look closely to find him)


Vin I agree with you, that is one mean monster brush hog that you Aussies use! But is you look real close at the copy of my picture you will see where they actually come from.
