Yesterday the reptiles, always on the search for afternoon click bait, delivered this poignant juxtaposition … with the onion muncher and Kev "chuckles" Andrews front and centre of reptile fantasies … and what a rich fantasy life they lead.
It whetted the pond's appetite for its Thursday dose of the savvy Savva … and sure enough, the world and the reptile cycle has returned to normal ...
The pond always treats the savvy Savva's pieces as a communiqué direct from the Malware desk …
It's always an heroic tale, with enemies to the right and the left, enemies all around …
It's always an heroic tale, with enemies to the right and the left, enemies all around …
… and yet after the kiddies have been frightened and alarmed, the lights are turned back on, Malware is saved, and he can go on valiantly doing his best to build another great NBN …if only those bloody gamers would stop ruining it ...
Oh that's not fair Stephen, it's just another day in the bunker, and if you want to see the fighting, you have to pay, or visit the pond ...
Yep, the worthy Worth knew so much about campaigning and what it takes to make governments tick that she got knocked off by her own party, at the very same epic chin wag where the Libs voted to privatise the ABC (at the ABC here)… no thanks in small part to the rising of the religious nutters in the Victorian branch … but back to Malware's suffering and the treachery of Erica ...
Cue the Jaws theme in honour of a man so clueless that he and his supporters didn't even realise the fix was in? Why, gladly, it might even evoke the fate of the NBN for the pond ...
Okay, enough of the shark … let's get back to the hate ...
Dear sweet long absent lord, the pond knows that feeling … the persecution, the crucifixion, and what has the man done, except valiantly fight for the best and cheapest NBN the world has ever seen? Why the valiant lad is surrounded by relentless sharks, sharks to the left, sharks to the right ...
Anyway, they delivered the NBN bomb, and now please relax, because it's always darkest before the dawn, and hope always beats in the heart of the savvy Savva's communiqués..
Remember, tomorrow is always another day …and comrade Bill might yet let Malware snatch victory from the jaws of defeat …and it'll all be settled at the by-elections, and what a tale it will be, told around Viking campfires for time immemorial, the day that Malware once again defeated the sharks ...
Oh yes, the even-handed Savva knows that comrade Bill is the one in the kill zone, and as in all the classic movies, with a leap and a bound, Malware will jump the shark and nuke the fridge and run wild and free, with a fiddle de dee to the onion muncher, Erica, and all the rest of them ...
Meanwhile, the Pope has a report from the front line on the never-ending class war, almost as disturbing as the Crisis in Western Civilisation, with more papal reporting here.
And now as the pond mentioned fiddle de dee, here it is …
And now, thanks to the sharks, while the pond's thinking of movies and Canada and the old days, how about another Norman McLaren ...
What's that got to do with Malware and the reptiles? Absolutely nothing, but it is lunch time, and that's enough ...
Why did Savva hitch her wagon to Malaware? Can she not recognize a dud? Or is she just one of those people that cannot acknowledge a mistake? Admittedly, you aren't exactly spoiled for choice on the conservative side of politics but he has done more than enough to be cut adrift.
ReplyDeleteConsider NBN - he styled himself as a tech expert but look at the bloody mess he has created. He rambled on at great lengths about a business case for NBN but he didn't seem to need one for Snowy 2.0. It looks a reasonable idea on the surface but the Malaware rule may still apply. I suspect it was chosen for the "halo effect" of association with the original project.

Anyone remember Australian Rain Corporation? Tinfoil hat stuff with some interesting connections to Murdoch and Liberal party donors.

All in all, a bit of a spiv.
Well I do kinda vaguely remember how back in the just post-WWII times that Australia had developed one of the earliest computers (the fourth, CSIRAC, Trevor Pearcy and Maston Beard) and how the government declined to proceed with financing it because "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." - IBM's Thomas J Watson.
DeleteSo CSIR (which later became CSIRO) had to waste a lot of money and time pursuing 'cloud seeding' which failed utterly then, as it does now. But CSIRO did ok with rust-proof wheat and SiroSet.
Pearcey was a pommie immigrant and CSIRAC was developed on Joe Ben Chifley's watch and then stuffed by Menzies (who, like Malfeasance, can't understand these things), though poor old solitary CSIRAC kept running until 1964, well into the transistor era.
