I had to look this up, but I'll look for it (Milo) at HEB later today.

It's a chocolate drink, maybe like Quik? 

Americans like sweet drinks, so it better have sugar!

 

More from the net: 

What is the difference between Nestle's Nesquik and Milo? Do they use powdered milk? Both are produced by Nestle's but Milo is a malted milk chocolate item whereas Nesquik is simply chocolate, not malted. Both are a powder and usually mixed with hot or cold milk or water or a combination.

 

      ....... yep ...

Y'all spell OFF with only one F down there?

 

"Please keep of the motorcycle"

And with just a please and with no exclamation point, it is not really a rule, just a request.

 

Climb on and get a picture.

[Alpo]

I don't get it.

 

Miles per hour is a measurement of speed, normally used in reference to a motorized vehicle.

 

Bunnings is a hardware/garden supply store, and snags are sausage.

 

My car will do 125 mph.

 

YEAH, WELL MINE WILL DO 176 HOT DOGS PER WALMART.

 

If that makes sense to y'all, you really do talk funny.

Dear Uncle Alpo,

   First sausages AIN'T hotdogs.

   Second Bunnings is more like Lowes or Harbour Freight.

Bunnings has a (sort of) tradition of allowing community groups to conduct a "sausage sizzle" outside their front door on both days of each weekend to raise money for themselves. I think Bunnings even supply the equipement. There seems to be some sort of roster as to which community group is next, school groups, scout groups, model train clubs Mens Shed, and a host of others.

  On my way to my shooting range I can stop at McDonalds for breakfast or I can stop at Bunnings and help finance a local worthy community group and still eat just as healthy .....  

[Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062]

  ......... and they should be setting up right about now ......

Sherron, Big Red and I had holidays all arranged (4 weeks) flight tickets bought, passports ready and we were one (1) UNE/UNO day away from leaving for Cairns, where a buddy and his wife were on Teachers Exchange, when the shi dung hit the fan at work.

I was called back in to work to first witness the then boss being fired and then to be appointed to take their place and to clean up a real mess.

Oh well. Made Director about 10 years before I thought I would and the city reimbursed me for everything out of pocket.

Retired now and just Big Red and I, but the trip remains on my bucket list.

I've never seen those ones, my Mum used to dye the knuckle bones from the Sunday roast with beetroot juice to colour them. 

[Texas Joker]

I always thought knucklebones was more like marbles.
