Poor Jason - he likes theatre AND he doesn’t like coffee! You be nice to him! Looking forward to the calendar…
I’ll never be able to read Bernard’s political views with quite the same detachment as before. (hound unbound).
“single handly rescued crikey from adject failure” interesting choice of words from Eric…if he said “from going broke” then FD should ask for an enormous payrise or at least more lone time with the blue fairy wren
Your smug face looks like it’s trying desperately not to look down behind Bernard’s book.
Glad to see our Humble Houndsome Hero given reason to look smug.
Shit, that was scary, FD. I got this half-arsed Crike Email with NO FDOtM !
I went into a panic looking for the Email address of someone at Crikey with a head suitable for being punched in.
Then a lame follow-up Email failed to apologise but merely pointed me here. Which is the bestest, most cool, hilarious afternoon delight.
Say - is it time that we got an FDOM daily emotional weather report (Tom Waits style) …. (a high pressure zone stationary over Peter Garrett’s backyard, a cold front coming in from Miranda Devine) ?
I’,m with you Mike J.
Damn near gave me a heart attack when I opened the email and found no lunar humour.
Poor Jason. He must think Melbourne’s a weird place.
Coffee addicts, exorcists and giant masturbating rats.
I never noticed that the humble FDOTM face was looking at Bernards copy of ‘March of the Patriots’ until now.
Yes but it’s not clear whether Jason attending the play about Masterbating rats is made up or true. Normally there is an asterik and a note at the bottom of the cartoon.
All that beauty and brains as well!
Gosh, Jason was lucky to score tickets to Malcolm Fraser’s book launch.
Also good to see The Superb One just sat on one scotch all night.
Surely the original Whistleblower costume should be on exhibit in the National Museum by now - next to other Oz icons such as Phar Lap’s heart or Captain Cook’s tea caddy. Come winter I’ll be donning my Whistleblower socks - or, for extra special occasions, the Rudd Pets socks. Do any other Dogonauts wear theirs? C’mon, be honest.
Well, well, well…Bernard.. that’s a cheeky look.
I’m with you Vernice… crikey.
First Dog - the new Hedda Hopper. (Watch out for Louella)
Denise M, I wore my Kevin Rudd’s Pets socks just yesterday. I think they might have been subject to some “rougher than usual handling” in the wash because they’re a little bit littler today.
I may have to downgrade to being Puponaut or hand them over to the little prince.
Bugger! My glasses have just fogged up.
Sod it all. I’m going mad trying to work out who’s face Bernard’s wearing in that Crikey “sealed section” foldout.
Is it really Rock Hudson? Or does Paul Kelly undergo some sort of bizarre metamorphosis every November?
Mike J, it looks like we’re the only ones. It means we’ll be able to pick each other in a crowd. I wonder if Mr Onthemoon wears his?
I wear mine and I’d wear the other pair if they ever bloody show up
I miss Tony Abbott’s spokesphallus. However this is still the best part of “Crikey.
I never thought I’d say it but thank christ for Paul Kelly
“… everyone who was anyone was there”
ahem.
Far be it from me to encourage more smug face, but lack of universal access to FD was the tipping point for me to bite the bullet and subscribe …
