Australia's favourite drinking game "Goon of Fortune" got a full-page spread in this month's edition of America's "Food & Wine" magazine. Yes, we really do this.

Oh god. My friends and I once threw a wine cooler party
Once
We mixed box wine with club soda and random fruit juices
Even by our standards that night descended into depravity
Did this in college - one box (I think we had one of each flavor available at the local liquor store) at each of the various houses our friends lived in, finish the box, group bike ride to the next house. Probably not our best decision, but it was fun and we all somehow survived lol
The clothes line might be the limiting factor for most of the US.
I couldn’t do a spinner here because the wind already loves to redistribute patio furniture here. A spinner would just Dorothy itself.
I have never participated in this as an Aussie and my first reaction to it is that someone is most definitely gonna get smacked in a head with the hills hoist. I am too old i guess.
The fun fact at the bottom is great too.
did you know boxed wine was invented by mistake? this guy just had a TON of wine and he wanted to put it all in a box.
Oh nice, I think I saw that when I first followed you and then forgot it!
I always want to say something witty about Borges but I feel like it's all already been said, in every possible language, along with an explanation of why it isn't funny.
