Brilliant is the only word.
love it!
Good grief!
I only just got around to turning the page on the calender.
Totally cracked me up up and then I logged on to Crikey and saw this!!!
Magnificent!!………Oh humble one.
Today is totally purple for me - thanks to FDOTM!!!!
Do purple socks count?
Normally, I can’t stand all these different coloured ribbons but for THIS I would buy a purple ribbon
Possum Comitatus is a dick head.
I can only say “The dog gets it right so often” how does he do it. Should he be the next PM??
Magical is a word which comes to mind when looking at this. Just magical!!!
And let it be known that he who wears the order of the purple ribbon has caused significant hypertension and disquiet in the course of reading journalist prose in search of impartial opinion forever thwarted by bigotry. When’s the presentation?
Should read!!!! And let it be known that he who wears the order of the purple ribbon has SUFFERED significant hypertension and disquiet in the course of reading journalist prose in search of impartial opinion forever thwarted by bigotry. I’m off to bed!
And today is my birthday, to share it with such a fantastic day makes my life complete. Thank you First Dog.

Happy birthday Jackson.

What I find it disturbing on this anniversary is the media blackout and internet censorship regarding the student movement that resisted Andrew Bolt.
Hi Dalziel - Would like to know more about this student movement ……?
Dickhead? You’re too kind dear doggie.
Way to go, Farthest Out Dog!
Furtherest? way far out? Out there, anyway……Luv ya FD
