Judging by the splendid reaction to Moorice yesterday, the reptiles know they're on to a winner.
And that means the pond is on a winner too, with everyone having a jolly good time, and producing a flurry of comments and hits.
Is there nothing Moorice can't do? Is there nothing his special, most unique* form of madness can't achieve? (*usage licensed from News 24).
The reptiles have enormously strengthened the Monday line-up - the major Mitchell and the Moorice are tremendous caged fight crusaders, while the shifting of the Oreo to Tuesday adds weight to the thoroughly mind-numbing 'Ned' Kelly and the rambling Kev determined to sustain the Judeo-Christian tradition (please, no talk of the Abrahamic tradition).

Talk about a surfeit of offerings ... and even the bouffant one chipped in with a "trust a politician, sure can" routine ...all that was missing was the can of paint for the tapping ...
Yes, just like we should believe ...
But the pond is loyal, and while there's a wealth of choices this day, the pond must stay with the delicious, the very snacky Oreo, cunningly seizing on the audacity of nonsense as an ultra-clever rolled gold* angle ... (*usage licensed from Michael Rowland, News 24).
Of course the pond is totally over the plebiscite and the discussion and the talking points.
It's exhausting, and well past its use by date even before it hits the shelf and goes on sale ... the pond has taken to scouring the Aldi specials in the centre aisle as a distraction ...

And the reptiles themselves have begun to show saucy doubts and fears (as well as anxious hand-wringing about private schools. Won't someone stand up for the right of filthy rich schools to go on being filthy rich?)
Oh dear, schools in chaos and voters swinging behind a parliamentary call ...
Quick, where's the Oreo when she's desperately needed, to talk in the most paranoid and besotted way imaginable about the dastardly left and wicked Fairfax, and the awful, dreadful rolled gold ABC... (actual meaning intended, no payment due to Michael Rowland) ...
They lock mad uncles in the attic, but there's a serious case for locking up mad aunties with them ...
Meanwhile, in the real world of informed discussion ...
Yes, that one was back in February this year, and you can read more about it at SBS under the header Pamphlet links same-sex marriage to 'disease, drug abuse' ...
And then came this one ...
He said he found the use of Mandela's image concerning.
"I do think it's disappointing that material, which is quite self-evidently factually incorrect, is being used, and quite bizarre that a great and inclusive leader like Nelson Mandela would be associated with a campaign of this type," Mr Zimmerman said. (ABC here).
Oh Trent, you silly, hopeless pawn of leftists, don't you see what's happening here?
You don't?!
Open your mouth wide, and prepare for a rich, filling slice of Oreo ...
Indeed, indeed. The pond is particularly looking forward to the plebiscite on euthanasia that is expected to follow very shortly after the SSM plebiscite ...
Whatever. Usually the pond would attempt some scan, some attempt at comprehension, some commentary and exposition, some translation of the Oreo, as when requested to get out the Bembrick and make sense of the gobbet of Latin ... you know, as in ...
Cum in Italiam proficisceretur Caesar, Ser. Galbam cum ligione XII et parte equitatus in Nantuates, Veragros Sedunosque misit, qui a finibus Allobrogum et lacu Lemanno et flumine Rhodano ad summas Alpes pertinent.

When the Oreo was setting out to defeat the dangerous 'leets and leftists, she sent Servius Galba with the twelfth legion and part of the cavalry, against the dangerous barbarians, who extend from the territories of the onion muncher, and the lake of Burley Griffin, and the mighty Murray to the top of the Alps, and who shockingly will do anything to insist that members of parliament act like MPs.
But frankly the pond's grasp of Latin is about as well founded as the Oreo's grasp of reality.
The average Oreo column is so delicious and self-sustaining there's no way that the balloon of self-righteous indignation and festering paranoia could be punctured, at least not without some threat to the safety of innocent civilians standing in the vicinity ...
Instead it's time for the pond just to give hearty thanks for a revitalised reptile Tuesday, and settle back with a cup of its preferred heart starter ...
Hmmm: "...as well founded as the Oreo's grasp of reality."
ReplyDeleteNow on the one hand, I would strongly opine that Oreole's grasp of reality is just fine: she emerged from her novitiate training in the Institute of Paid Argy with a clear understanding of what she is paid to write - and she sure keeps us amused.
On the other hand, I would commend to you something that comes more and more to mind whenever I trudge through the writings of reptiles: it was something that led Weston Labarre "...to coin the term "group archosis" to refer to "nonsense and misinformation so ancient and pervasive as to be seemingly inextricable from our thinking. A frightening proportion of all culture is arguably archosis, more especially sacred culture." "
And there's just nothing quite so precious to a reptile as their "sacred culture".
Sacred Culture stripped to the bone
DeleteDid you notice Oreos reference to the right wing blog that holds a lotto on the number of times Tony Jones interrupts right wing guests? I can't believe that she has actually read the comments and failed to notice the intellectual level of the commenters and the lack of any cohesive criticism. All they do is abuse, escalate and vilify anything remotely lefty, female or beta as opposed to alpha males.
ReplyDeleteAny economic discussion turns into a war between the neoliberals and the rabid right wing lunatics who range from a truck driver to a trader and include wives of professional men who show off their insider gossip.
Is one of the ten smartest people at university really suggesting that this blog is an acceptable never mind admirable part of the political debate? Surely not!
