    Jiminy Cricket, DIAC has gone way too far this time: clothes pegs!! Handing them out willy-nilly as though there’s a bottomless taxpayer money pit.

    And if further information comes to light that it’s vintage Clicquot then I’ll be writing a snarky letter to my federal MP.

    A local service club has a dubious advertisement that asks a series of illustrated questions of viewers about their preparedness to go to what lengths to assist their services to fund children in other countries… ‘Adopt a country/a small country?’ featuring a snap of apparently Angelina, arms full of arms and legs, Brad, and the remaining grouped kids…

    Sister-in-law of a friend’s friend’s friend makes submissive guests listen to this stuff and I have to read it in today’s Crikey. What’s the world coming to? Is it true that those people get Angelina Jolie in a can when it’s all said and done and dusted?

    If we have a continuing proliferation of Gemmanites, Australia’s refugee “problem” will be an outgoing thing rather than an incoming. The country will be such a count* of a place that decent folk will be leaving in droves.

    * remove the vowel of your own choice

    You’ve gotten us worked up here, Firsty.

    First rule of the Doggonaut Lounge. In fact the only rule is that redneck ars3holes are only welcome if they are funny (or persecuting other redneck ars3holes.

    Admittedly, this is a big ask.

    I’d like to personally apologise to Innocent Until for the unmatched parenthesis in my last moderated comment.

    I didn’t realise you were so touchy about slugs, First Dog.
