A kindly reader suggested that, in view of the pond's competition being in tatters, thanks to the reptiles' singular failure to perform their duties during the Xmas season, perhaps the pond should look to little Timmie as a substitute fielder ...
Surely he could hold up the head of the page while the pond takes a little holy day.
Surely he could hold up the head of the page while the pond takes a little holy day.
But the portly Timmie looks like he couldn't punch his way out of a wet tea bag, let along a wet brown paper bag ... and besides, there's no way on earth that the pond could leave its last post of the season in the hands of a lightweight gadfly dropkick who makes the expression 'brains of a gnat' seem like a handsome testimonial to intelligence and wit ...
Oh sure, it's fun to imagine little Timmie turning his vast intellect on the Christ child and mocking the way that another marshmallow-soft bedwetter has been born on the hay in a refugee stable ... for a nanosecond, or perhaps by stretching it, a millisecond ...
But in the end, a fuckwit who thinks 'bed wetter' is a funny term of abuse must be dismissed as an idle fuckwit, perhaps still enduring some private nappy trauma in the remaining fragments some care to call a mind ...
It calls to mind the pond's time in Tamworth schoolgrounds, where bullies punched kids and called them bed wetters, and only much later did the pond come to understand that they did it out of a deep sense of personal inadequacy and failure ...
Moving on, the pond must also decline the kind suggestion of going with a novelty item from the deep north ...
Okay, it's immensely funny, and for the reasons the reader pointed out to the pond, coming as it did on the very same day that the front of the digital page carried this ...
The google juxtaposition of the stories was equally rich ...
Now the pond knows why the reptiles do the talking up of Pauline and her mob.
It's like the Donald, it's easy click-bait, and it's a simple distraction from the complexities of the real world ...
Celebrating as a potent someone with absolutely no guaranteed solutions to anything is a sure fire way to keep the country heading downhill and therefore in urgent need of coal, coal, coal (only Victorian brown if you puh-lease) and tree-killing newspapers ...
And besides, with ceaseless repetition, who knows, it might be possible to get the redhead into a game-changing moment, just as the reptiles managed with the Donald ... and then think of the easy flow of ambulance-chasing headlines as the country, and the planet, go to hell in a handbasket ...
Well for what it's worth, here's deep north Jamie doing his very reptile best, and putting his most solemn po-face look on, so he can talk about farcical proceedings with a very straight face ...
Please, no cackling when the talk turns to maturity and discipline, faithfully regurgitated by reptile Jamie:
Please, no cackling when the talk turns to maturity and discipline, faithfully regurgitated by reptile Jamie:
Sadly, it's a very lightweight outing, and thatpunchline about discipline comes way too early in the piece ...
Save your best lines for just before you leave the stage Jamie ...
Save your best lines for just before you leave the stage Jamie ...
So the pond swears by Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Worvan, that neither little Timmie nor deep north Jamie will be the last pond post of the Xmas silly season ...
There's silly, and then there's just plain stupid ...
And so while the pond lives in hope and scours the reptiles for signs of life, and a genuinely competitive field, a few cartoons ... because at least the American reptiles have given us the Donald to celebrate as we laugh gaily and merrily on our way to hell ...
ON and LNP cross preferencing each other at the coming Queensland election will again destroy Qld Labor.
ReplyDeleteEven as One Nation was stirring from their slumber, Palaszczuk, in the early morning hours of a long night, brought it on earlier this year. She tacked on an ambush ammendment to another Bill, and snuck in a change from Beatty's successful three cornered contest winning optional preference voting - Beatty's Lib-Nat destroying "just vote one" - back to an exhausted preferences ballot.
Palaszczuk was worried about the relatively small number of lefties in the 2015 Qld election that had "just voted one" for non-Labor leftie candidates. She thought she might force them to preference Labor ahead of the LNP. She thought by this to escape from ongoing Labor minority government and win it outright for good on the consequent preference flows.
Palaszczuk, drunk on thoughts of unbeatable Labor power, also waged a significant government disinformation campaign favouring a change from a three year government term to a four year term prior to her referendum on the matter in March. In a State with a unicameral legislature (stupid Qld Labor again) Queenslanders voted for the four year fixed goverment term! ON and LNP rednecks together are now set to likely rule Qld for mandatory fixed four year terms over and over again. Big Coal loving Qld Labor and Premier Palaszczuk, the smart arses, will be no great loss. I, for one, won't be at a marginal seat polling booth next time handing out the GetUp! HTV cards in favour of Labor that were so critical in 2015.
Merry Xmas? Bah humbug, be careful what you wish for.
