It comes in glass stubbies, perfect for smashing the base off and shoving in the face of that bastard who looked at your missus.

A stubby is about the size of a beer can. Except in our northern capital... Darwin stubbies:

A 2 litre stubby! Nice!!!
Does it come pre-prepared with a corked hole in the bottom to allow qucik access to the nutritious contents?

There's a reason Darwin stubbies are bigger: a regular smashed stubby won't stop a croc... Also, anyone who's wandered Darwin during NYE would know. And if you haven't, you should head to Darwin for New Year's. It's surreal.

A projectionist I used to work with at Lloyd center in Portland used to be able to recite "Star Wars" from begining to end. Preamble, different voiced and final credits. When he first admitted this affliction, I didn't believe him, and I expressed this disbelief. Three hours later, I believed him. It was like Cartman singing "Come Sail Away" in South Park. He couldn't help himself.

Most of them are of subway lines and stations under construction. Cool, but nothing that out of the ordinary (specially if you occasionally look at industrial photography). What i'd like to know, though, is what this is:  Those are the ones that really stand out, to me.

You'll have to ask lith, I'm ashamed to admit I've never been to Darwin. Mind you, he doesn't drink so he probably can't help you either!

The logo hasn't changed for NT Draught - and I've no idea what Prictorian Bitter's doing in there - only the bottle sizes. The one on right is the latest iteration. My mother's partner (seen here in goofy hat) has an old school, Imperial-measured Darwin stubby - the centre-left one in Gromit's picture. Never tasted it. We had one we gave to Dad but he never drank it. Eventually, me and the bro sprayed it, race-car driver style, around the backyard. We used the empty bottle, filled with Calf-Pab, to feed Basil, our orphaned bull. Later, we cut Basil's nuts out, sold him and used the funds to buy Nintendo 64 games.
