I have an extremely irrational dislike of Australians calling meth "ice" and how they pronounce it. I wish I knew why.

they call meth ice in Texas too

and in an East Texas accent it comes out halfway between "ice" and "rear end"

They need a severed toe for use in their traditional sourtoe cocktail. The hotel does have some donated spares on ice, so they can still offer the cocktail, but they don't have enough to ignore the loss of a toe like this.

"Master" is (or at least used to be) an honorific for boys who are considered to be too young to be called "Mister," so Willie Kent was just a boy when his pet goat attacked that girl

I find the use of quotation marks on "cop" intriguing. What's the thinking behind that? Don't want to seem uncool by using too-formal a term, but don't want to seem too casual by not signposting it as slang? Or is it literally a quotation? Did a witness tell them that a "cop" helped and they felt compelled to report their use of slang accurately?

My grandpa addressed all cards and things to me as Master [The Bloop] until I turned 18. I thought it was pretty cool and dignified sounding.

I was planning for that to be a straight line building on your joke, so you could point out that severed toes are still surprisingly easy to come to, but I spent too much time explaining for that to actually be funny.

In the US, ice is one of several terms for meth. In Australia it's just the word they use. Like politicians and newspapers and everybody. I still don't know why I find that annoying but it's probably tied in with me thinking most Australianisms are stupid and infantile.

I feel like it'd be really disappointing to head in for one of those shots and get a weird little pinky toe or something instead of a big toe. If you want the experience, you want the experience, you know?

Big toe is also less likely to get accidentally swallowed. Anybody ordering that drink is already drunk, so accidental cannibalism is a worry.
