After some investigation, we found the secondhand Levi's trade route across the Pacific Ocean. It starts in little corner shops in American cities, and ends, with huge markups, in shops in the parts of the world with extremely gullible people, like here in Australia. Beats me what's so special about 501s anyway.

But some Australians are fighting back. Let all the Aussies know - someone has invented something called the "Outback Steakhouse", a chain of restaurants all over the USA. There you can find Australian beers (including Foster's imported from Toronto!) and all sorts of alleged Australian delicacies with silly ocker names.
I've lived in Australia for all of my twenty-five years, and never once before have I heard of the "Bloomin' Onion". I think it's just a big Crocodile Dundee cash-in. But let me tell you, they do serve damn good food there. So get down there and have a steak. And have a XXXX for me.
That reminds me. Saw a great Foster's ad in a
bar in Seattle. A truck is struggling over a sandy hilly terrain.
The wheels slip... then at last they grip on the ground, and it
moves forward, pulling a rope behind it. The caption appears
"Australian for Dentist." Then a Foster's can appears
and it says "Australian for Beer." Actually I don't
like Foster's... To be honest I'd prefer a Carlton Cold to that
wombats' piss any day. Hate the beer - love the ads.
