The pond sees that the Terrorists are still haring off after Safe Schools and any other gender indiscretions and it swept the pond back to the time it first saw Billy Wilder's classic Some Like It Hot.
The pond didn't understand the film at the time, but it did understand later that the sort of twaddle led by Kevin Donnelly entirely missed the point...
The irony of course is that even your average thugby league footballer likes to play with subversive ideologies that undermine any traditional sense of what it is to be a man ...
But let us leave Andrew Johns and Brad Fittler to their skirts, because some are disapproving of this sort of behaviour ...
Well yes indeed, and you can read that full paper in pdf form here, but the pond remains compelled that one of the favourite forms of relaxation for its very favourite thugby leaguers is to get into drag. Apparently it's also the fashion in the deep south, and if you can get past the HUN paywall, you can admire 10 classic photos of AFL footballers in drag from the Herald Sun vault ...
As for Republicans, Seth Meyers might suggest that Donald Trump turning up to open the Republican convention to the sounds of Freddie Mercury and Queen is akin to opening a KKK rally with a NWA album ...
But the pond enjoys the innocent way that Republicans, driven by unconscious urges, seek to re-enact what they perhaps first saw in Billy Wilder's classic ...
But enough of Republicans in drag, because this day the pond was enormously attracted to a story about another man deeply uncertain about his sexuality ...
Well he does have a gay sister so who knows what's lurking in the DNA, and anyway, where's the harm. The pond is all in favour of funny hats, cross dressing and ample display of bearish body hair, and let's not forget a five inch heel.
Who can resist the eight inch challenge, but sssh, not a word about the Weimar Republic, because Niki Savva is still trying to kill the beast.
Now sadly the pond can't count Savva as one of its reliably loonish members of the far right commentariat, and indeed, she spends a considerable amount of time rebutting delusionals:
So that's it. Poor old Kev, hapless old Erica and silly old Tony, who could have become a voice in London, replacing the high heel man, or a voice in the wilderness, a Caterist on the prowl, but instead chose to stay a useless, irrelevant distracting appendage lurking on the back bench.
Is there any greater tragedy than this? Or is it true what they say, about comedy being the highest form of tragedy?
As for other matters, including but not limited to, deep self-serving self-interest and the matter of superannuation, which sent Dame Slap off into the Toorak stratosphere quite recently ...
It was at this moment that the pond began to keen and quietly mourn. Whither Cory, whither George, whither Erica and the rest of the cabal ... or is it just wither?
What hope for The Spectator and its entire jolly crew if their champion abandons ship? Right now, there's much wailing and gnashing of teeth, with Cory railing about his anti-gay jihad being compared to other anti-gay jihads, when he doesn't throw them off roofs, he just denies them rights, and Noreen from Queensland savaging the sore losers.
But enough, it's a sorry state of affairs when the pond provides a link to an irrelevant minor British colonial outpost, and so we must just wrap up Savva ...
Oh no, not the vicious greyhound man who has ruined the lives of thousands of innocent battlers, just so a few useless mongrel hounds might live instead of having their brains bashed out with a mattock ...
But are we getting closer to the day that Abbott might become his very own completely useless Caterist and to that momentous final press conference?
Well it couldn't be, could it, not if he's going to run his very own think tank, because he's always been such a deep and good thinker and communicator ... of three word slogans ...
Please note, the pond has patented the name The Abbott Institute for Three Word Slogans Research Centre ...
Meanwhile, Pope has returned, and more Pope here, and the business of government begins ...
Copper to the node? Where can the pond sign up? Right now we've got Optus to the Indian call centre ...
Oh for heaven's sake and the sake of the long absent lord, just put them in a frock so that the Daily Terror will have something to get excited about. There's only so many thugby league footballers in a frock that a tabloid can stand before they hunger for some genuine gender bending ...
"Zed Seselja....bright and articulate".
ReplyDeleteClearly that's a different bloke named Zed Seselja, not the tedious dud who spent several years failing to make much of an impression as ACT Opposition Leader.
I'd thought he was the singer of Stairway to Heaven, but it turns out that was Led Zeppelin.
DeleteAbbott could have started a think tank? Certainly the IPA have shown that the ability to think is not necessary for such a tank, but Abbott would still be a stretch!
ReplyDeleteRe that 'Dear Noreen', I just love the way conservatives don't do links.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Abbott is hanging around on the offchance he can get a week or two more as Prime Minister and thereby qualify for a PM's pension.
