Sangers and Beer at the Googleplex

Posted By Lid On May 2, 2007 @ 12:11 pm In Dev Stuff | No Comments

If you’re an engineer and live in Silicon Valley, Google is inviting you to its G’day Google [1]night on May 8, to learn about all the cool things they are doing in Australia.

Neat huh?  Until you get to the added bonus:

“Australian food and drink — I’m talking Vegemite sangers, yabbies, meat pies, Australian beer, more   Australian beer, and wine”

Wow!  Sangers.  Really?  And lots of beer? Well…no doubt about it, I’m IN!

C’mon Google, give me a break.  Don’t fall into the trap so many other American companies have if you want credibility with the folk down under…it’s lame.

Here’s a clue:

Slang [2] + Australians [3]+ Google [4] =  ?* [5]
* Pay particular attention to number 6.
