    Sept 11 sounds perfect to me. :cool:
    I suspect there’d be quite a lot of gynaecological (and other anatomical) references from our cousins across the big pond.
    So pencil it in and let the fireworks begin. :-)

    Such an ‘Austrayan’ approach to things. I love it.

    Whoever wins the Federal Election, let’s hope it’s a close shave. He needs one.

    Is that a five o’clock shadow on an ill kempt Federal Election? Hey everybody, that lazy good-for-nothing is actually Norm, the iconic layabout Aussie bloke (in disguise, minus tinnie in hand).

    I think the Federal Election has a lot to be depressed about. To me he hasn’t looked the same since Gough was sacked by the GG. If you think about it the poor Federal Election may be facing immortality or at least to being extremely long lived. Would we say he was born in 1901? Was he reincarnated? If so what was he in a previous life? A bloodless coup? A benign dictatorship? Maybe he should go out more and start a life long relationship—flirt with one of those sexy South American military juntas perhaps. Or have a gender change, into a REPUBLIC.

    What a wonderful delineation of the Ocker Oz male. Brilliant!

    I have but one small question: Who is Mr Cow?

  8. Posted Thursday, 15 July 2010 at 3:00 pm | Permalink

    PETER FORRESTER: Are you a recent immigrant perhaps? Didn’t you read the deathless prose of John Howard’s instructions to familiarise yourself with Oz customs? Tut tut.

    When he said “We will decide who comes here” he added “We, as in the royal we, will decide there will never be a Republic”.

    Frankly, I’ve given up hope. When Oz people are listening to the the oh so Gay little Piss and Wind, part Singhalese, part Englishman, David Flint, whose carefully modulated voice is mistaken by old ladies for being civilised. The rest of us can go and get stuffed.

    I hate having a foreigner as our head of state, but the Oz mums and dads love it. :( :(

    Venise, is David Flint our Queen too ? Yikes !

    Innocent, love your work. Bad puns rule ! Sorry, bed pans rule !

    I’m up for Nov 15 - Typo awerness day. Then we could have a feral erection - goes with the 5 o’clock shadow.

    My cat has been in mourning, or is that afternoon, since the feline from the Lodge went back to Brissie. Tonight I will introduce her to Federal Election, she may take a liking to FE’s children. They look cat like, sorta.

    MIKE JONES: Absolutely! Bastard-him, not you. :cool:

    I think I’ve got a feral government t-shit of FD’s making. I’ll have to get it out.

    INNOCENT: I couldn’t think of a sufficiently cutting retort. :(

    BTW: Who is Mr Cow, please?

    That’s the way, Venise and David. Let it out before MJ’s bad puns rule comes into force. :)

    INNOCENT: I’ll give you puns at forty paces, and let the best man wince! :) :cool:

    Omigod, I’ve made a terrible typo. It’s t-shirt not t-shit.

    When will someone tell me who Mr Cow is?

  17. Posted Thursday, 15 July 2010 at 6:28 pm | Permalink

    It’s written there, as large as life, and I want to know who he is!

    FD: Help!

    I’ve found a link to Mr Cow but I’m being moderated - now that it’s after hours it’ll be tomorrow before I’ve cleared quarantine.

    Can I be very personal by saying I really don’t think Federal Election appears up to it. Bordering on depressed disinterest doesn’t give voters a great deal of confidence in achieving new horizons or to put it colloquially - looking forward. Perhaps applying at Centrelink for New Start or enlisting in the Green Army will lift spirits aside from that I can only suggest the Disability Pension. Which of course will be offered to the Liberals should they fail FE’s expectations.

    Not to worry @Buzz. It appears that the Crikey moderators are getting some practice for the upcoming launch of 24 hr a day Firstdog news that never sleeps. :-)

    Buzz: Mr Cow has now passed moderation.
    I think the confusion may have arisen from ‘his’ nice set of teats.

    Buzz and EMC,

    Mr Cow won’t have a snowball’s hope in hell once Conroy’s filter is activated.

    Could be … . . but Julia Lected isn’t a good god fearing mother of 2.5 children and she lives in sin with a hairdresser and she is a pagan heathen atheist (and likely a Satan worshipper to boot) oh the international shame of it all should she be elected … . little wonder our snorkley Federal Election isn’t in any great hurry
    Perhaps we should just have a guessing contest like they do with lollies in a jar

    Venise: I think Mr Cow could be Tom Cowie, Crikey journalist, but he doesn’t appear to have an udder.

    EMC: No, I’m talking about the gentleman/woman, tautology reigns supreme. It is tautology, isn’t it? Hang on, what’s the word? Hermaphrodite? Mentioned underneath the cartoon.

    Cheers

    Agreed, it will be entertaining - but void of substance.
