pubs rule
Life
While obstinately for the British Isles, Passport to the Pub applies equally as well to any fine Australian pub (local variations such as half vs schooner vs pint notwithstanding).
Rule number one: To the natives, round-buying is sacred. Not ‘buying your round’ is more than just a breach of pub etiquette: it is heresy.
Word.

Is that replacing the Bill and Ted's Medieval Babes discussion?

Nothing should replace the valuable pedagogical use of allegory that is the Medieval Babes tute! By the way I note that said babes are from Medieval England, Iowa. This fact alone makes Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey a worthy sequel to Excellent Adventure.

i simply illustrated the various discursive modes at work in Bill & Ted by using the bill & ted drinking game to then also speak of the discourse of 'shouting a round'. Ahhh bill and ted. Speaking of....christ on a bike!!! fan fiction (my favourite genre): http://www.billandted.org/stories.html
My current favourite is 'Someone to Watch Over You': A touching story about Bill & Ted as children told through the viewpoint of Ted's mother, which shows even as kids their friendship was stronger than usual.
There's also a fine fine story about the golden spike, first intercontinental railroad blah blah which might interest you mike (aka 'steamboy').
