Another Aussie in Canada
In what is turning out to be a disturbing trend, an aussie that isn't Labrat got up to some serious mischef in Canada whilst on the piss. (at least idon't think it was Labrat!)

An Australian man is recovering from a close brush with death after surviving a fall of nearly 30 metres into a ravine in East Vancouver on Tuesday.
The man, who had been drinking, climbed up onto a railing over the ravine near the Commercial Drive SkyTrain station, apparently looking for somewhere to relieve himself.
"I guess he was really drunk," said one witness. "He tried to grab on to the tree there, to climb down, and he fell all the way to the bottom."
Emergency officials say the man broke at least one bone, but will be OK, as branches slowed his fall.
Vancouver fire department Capt. Rick Matsen says it was obvious the man had been drinking until just moments before his fall.
"Well, it just so happens he had a beer with him when he was brought up," he said.
"Still in his hands?" asked a reporter.
"Still in his hands, yup. He held on to it pretty tight, I'm thinking," said Matsen.
Of course this new standard of drunken behaviour was immeadiately legislated by the Australian government, and is now obligitory for all aussies.(even the ones with two passports.)
There were also calls from the wider population of piss-heads to introduce "Beer-Falling" into our schools to open the way to declare it our new national sport!
Soccer fans were said to be despondent that yet another sport was more interesting than theirs.
Gentlemen history is being made, and legends are being born!!
our new motto is:
Climb higher, Skull faster, Fall further !!!

Let's review..
Climbing, drinking, falling, being recovered with beer intact.....
If it isn't Labby, it is a close relation
It just makes me so damn proud to be an aussie. Are we sure it wasn't Labby?
you have to admit Labby, even people who've never met you must be at least a little bit suspicious, as it fits your normal M.O. exactly.
