Just don't do It like me.

Drank my ass off, and went to work on the biggest hangover I ever had.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

That work day did not go well...

[Hanslanda]

My dog is two-toned, like a shark. Dark brown-gold on top, white underneath. Anyone know why?

Well, most dogs will have some shift in coat color depending on where on the body the hair is located. If it's an unusual coat for the breed or has a particularly sharp/extreme contrast, I suppose it could potentially be a chimera.

Can't find many good examples of extreme delineation in chimeric dog coats, but there are plenty of pictures of chimeric cats.

[Hanslanda]

Her coat isn't particularly extreme, though it's quite a pretty color. I was just wondering if it was somehow advantageous.

Sometimes it will highlight cuddle zones. This is advantageous.

[Hanslanda]

That makes sense. Also purdy dogs get moar cuddlez.

Short answer: Yes

Hooray! I'd best get stuck in before they spoil, then.

* Yoink cracks open a cold one for the Greater Good!

Congrats, Yoink. You've let your inner bogan out.

[Rolan7]

Hey, if wanting to avoid wastage of precious foodstuffs is being a bogan, count me in!
The alcohol content is completely aside.
Besides, y'all probably drink bosmer meat-spirits, which are far more dreadful.

[Hanslanda]

Is a bogan basically the Aussie version of a hillbilly, red neck or otherwise backwoods uncultured moron?

[Yoink]

Ehhh, kind of? I mean, it's closest to redneck, I'd say, since it generally refers to more "urban"-type persons, in my experience.
Well. Suburban, at least. 'Peak bogan' is the type of tribal-tattooed gronk who wanders the streets wearing boardshorts and oakleys, at least in modern times. But it's generally somewhat less-severe than "redneck" or "hick". Again, in my experience, it probably gets put to all sorts of uses and it's a pretty broad term. "Derro" is probably the next level of insult, I guess.

Edit: actually, on second thoughts my thoughts on the word "bogan" are probably best disregarded, since I tend to use it to (unfairly?) condemn whole swathes of society. That or I have just lived in a great many places peopled primarily by bogans, hicks and rednecks. Hmmmm.
Honestly I think it might be both. Just, don't take my word for it.
I have encountered such a dazzlingly wide, varied array of "bogans" that I can hardly tell where bogan ends and other categories, like rednecks, yuppies, lads, chavs, hicks, woftas, loose units, derros and whatever else begin.

Congrats, Yoink. You've let your inner bogan out.

...Did he get stuck somewhere?    

[Hanslanda]

Oh, so sorta like a yuppie or brodude

[Yoink]

Actually, don't listen to me. I edited my post. I probably tend to use the word bogan in more of a general sense than its actual meaning.    
Either that or I'm just constantly surrounded by hordes of wowsers on various points across the bogan-redneck spectrum. *shrug*   

[scriver]

I think it's similar to that British slang word that I can't recall right now.

[Yoink]

Chav? Yeah there's definitely some overlap. Though I think "chav" might be in a similar boat, where it's often used in a pretty broad sense to describe scungy persons in general, even though the word may have originally referred to a specific mode of dress and/or lifestyle favoured by scungy persons.
