Piss off John Goldbaum. It’s Friday night you know. You should be up at Oxford Street dancing.

I had a dream. I dreamt that it was raining over the lower lakes. It was a wet dream.

There are more queens in my family’s closet than in yours, Bronny. How about a toast to SirLunchAlot. Here’s a box of Viagra I bought from the Cranbrook Hotel when they sold off his thingies.

You can’t wear a yarmulke, Malcolm. It might be Friday night but it sure as hell ain’t like Shabbas dinner in Wentworth. Peter Costello is a Baptist, you know. I think you ought to wear your top hat, white tie and tails. Puttin’ on the Ritz. And don’t eat the chicken. The pork is half the price. That sounds pretty kosher to me.

Yeah, John Goldbaum. Why don’t you go to Arq? Maybe you’ll see Matthew Mitcham there.

CLUNK! Chris, I’m JohnCathy’s long lost mother, anagramatically speaking. All my kids are trailer trash, honey. Not a lira to their names. Tell the little guy to lower his duds, sell his cute little ass to the cashier, and let weasel-head chew his willy for $100. They all burned the House down long ago!

No! I think Bernard is right. Peter, peter is doing the whole schmiel to jack up the book’s sales. He will continue to do it until one of three things happen. 1) Belatedly, someone will work out a way to get at him on legal grounds. 2)He’ll continue to do this until the media stops giving him space; but he is apparently newsworthy. 3)
Someone shoots him.

Am I the only Crikey reader who has never heard of John Goldbaum?

Hey Petie Sweetie, I wasn’t really crying you know. I’m no sissy. It’s the bitter herbs that Malcolm brought along from Wentworth that were in the canapes.

Leave the dwarf out of this! Hey, I look better in a yarmulke than a top hat.

Shut up James. Brendan might die tonight at the dinner in Canberra. That’s what Dennis thinks, anyway. And Brendan said he’d happily lie back and think of England for Petie Sweetie.

John really is washing his hair. He still has head lice from holding that Aboriginal child. Quellada shampoo just doesn’t seem to work any more.

Those Liberals!….they certainly know how to party….anyway….what is wrong with you people????!!!!!

When I was running the show, Cathy, we dealt harshly with identity theft. All I had to do was give a wink and a nod and Commissioner Clouseaux from the Keystone Kops would clobber you with the new anti-terror thingies and lock you up and you wouldn’t be allowed to tell anyone, except your same-sex partner.
And if we thought you were nuts, we could send you out of the country. Big deal if it costs us $8m.
Don’t go assuming John Goldbaum’s identity. I know him well. He came out a long time ago because everyone loves him. He’s a big Jewish lesbian. Oy vey!
