We’ve seen some possible explanations for that triumph of tone deaf idiocy.
The Shaq’s blak
He’s an aspiring wrapper
He used to play baseball
He’ll convince the honkies that the inVoice is the greatest thing since smallpox blankets
He’ll make burney and me look super cool
As we’ve seen, the last one in particular didn’t exactly pan out as expected – glove puppets, anyone*?
*H/T Tom.
Glad to say I’d never even heard of Shaquille O’Neal. What the fuck it’s to do Australian Aboriginals, I have no idea.
I can see a Black Market developing in upticks. It reminds me of all those Twitter “followers” Rudd had.
Do not believe upticks! That way madness lies.
One’s things for sure, Anal and co are proving to be every bit as bad as anticipated.
That’s a hell of a big Mars bar.
Let me just say my upticking finger is firmly in it’s holster.
Safety on.
Oh…right; the Anglican archbishop of Brisbane, by virtue of being the bishop of the metropolitan see of Brisbane, is the spiritual leader of all Anglicans in the ecclesial province Queensland.
I’ll refrain from further coment on him and his views as it might be deemed actionable.
Jeez.
There’s a blast from the past.
Last I heard he had been charged with tickling the till at some Indigenous Co-op or Communidy Corporation or somesuch.
But I don’t know what happened.
Maybe Kerry Judd QC lost the brief down the back of the filing cabinet.
Or it just might be the leader of the Opposition…what’s ‘is name again?
Glad to say I’d never even heard of Shaquille O’Neal. What the fuck it’s to do Australian Aboriginals, I have no idea.
Actually, I do have an idea- it’s an attempt to introduce O’bumma style race baiting down under. More poison brought across the Pacific.
Oh, you show-off you. 🙂 At my rate of usage, that’s about 12 and 1/2 yearsof exquisite perfume regime.
Your Beloved deserves a very big callis kiss for that.

Thanks Bons. I’ve just had to listen to some dweeb yapping loudly on his mobile about his comfy bed in the pointy end. Considering I’m in the business lounge…hmmmm. 😀
Anyways, we will fold ourselves into our EC seats and be grateful – they were acquired at the last minute and the flight is as full as a goog. They are right down the back so the turbulence will rock us to sleep. Always keep that glass of life half full.
soon, a prince will kiss you and you’ll live happily ever after
He and his mob had a reputation for provoking pub brawls in whatever part of the part of the world they came from. Clark got his arZe handed to him one night by an amateur boxer of some note, and that was the end of that.

I suppose it may be used as a gargle in an emergency. Diluted.

Ah, so he’s had Covid and his olfactory sense is offline.
And figures that the pong will keep the pickpockets away.
Men are very practical.
Otherwise he’d’ve bought them for you on the return journey.
I’m surprised that you’re surprised, m0nster.

In these thrilling blog times of travelogues, one from circa 35 yrs ago on a part of Australia we never see would be a charming addition.
Did you actually walk from Oz to PNG at low tide? It must be quite an experience.
What are their demands? Do you really think Elbow should give in (especially if it involves trainloads of taxpayer money)?
I’ve a selection of bridges to sell you.
Gwyeneth reminds me of a wise woman in Wodehouse advising Bertie never to trust a woman whose first name started with an unnecessary ‘G’.
Wasn’t there an event in his past where he got a free pass on the “all women must be believed” rule?
True. Not Covid but a chill on the course a week or so ago. So you are half right.
Flowers and perfume set you on the road to serfdom.

Oh, and he had a travelling ABC ditz in his gang. I met her a couple of times. I had no idea that ditz was a critical selection criteria for the ABC.
I haven’t watched Their ABC voluntarily for a while, but my memory suggests that the ditz might have been the smartest of the lot.
The voice is such a fragile, precious thing, but as recent polling shows it is not yet supported by the majority of voters in any state, not even Victoria.
Harsh but fair.
Your intuition desperately needs a major service and definite tune up. It’s sending out 100% fritzing vibes.
Never a good place for your intuition to be operating.
The British Government Has Begun Paying $140,000 for COVID-19 Vaccine Damage Victims.

The Shaq thing is best thought of this way: what if ScoMo had done it?
The MSM would’ve been incandescent for weeks.
(I’m still chuckling to myself about the photo MT linked this morning. Photographers love catching pollies suggestively, I’m sure it was entirely intended by whoever it was who took it.)
He and his mob had a reputation for provoking pub brawls in whatever part of the part of the world they came from. Clark got his arZe handed to him one night by an amateur boxer of some note, and that was the end of that.
Thanks for the info.
He had a reputation for getting into a brawl every time he set foot in a pub in or around Warrnambool. I was told that about half the police work in that part of the Western District was created by two Aboriginal families, Clark and Clarke, of one of which he was a member.
But then he and his ATSIC mates used to drink at the Elms at the top of Spring Street and there was never a hint of trouble. At the time I wondered whether the Warrnambool issues were a kind of vicious circle thing, suspicion from past events leading to hostility, leading to more events, leading to more suspicion and so on.
But maybe those days at the Elms were just post him losing the title fight.
That’ll teach you for turning around the talking points so quickly, without any comprehension or validation.
It might pay to pause, breathe and at read it at least once before reposting here. Fact checking beforehand would be nice too, but small steps for you Monty.
“Do not believe upticks! That way madness lies.”
My ad blocker allows me to render them invisible, also the report comment link. Outlaw!
For some reason Rosie’s comments always show the report comment despite it.
“One’s things for sure, Anal and co are proving to be every bit as bad as anticipated.”
And to think, they haven’t even started yet. This is going to be a grind.
I thought the boys referred to this as “on a promise”. As I said, live life with the glass half full. And hopefully.
Which of the five times or so that he’s fronted the beak on such charges would that be?
True.
The Red Centre of Australia is NOT in the Northern Territory.

Totally out of control and pointless.

Nor me. Go back to 1972 and examine his record from then on. There is NOTHING good to say about him.
Just saved $3-$4k.
Our combi boiler was giving me the shits.
Goes OK for weeks then flames out.
Always looks to have condensation inside and dripping water out the bottom when it shuts down.
But plumber can’t find a leak.
It dries out and runs OK for a while, then plays up again. Did it again Friday and I couldn’t reset it. Got plumber in (it looks drier) and it starts first time for him.
Fuck it, I say. Get a new one.
Later today Mrs P is re-planting the herb garden near the back door and I notice the tap she is using is dripping water into the heater air intake below.
Ring plumber to ask him if that would be the cause. He reckons it almost certainly is.
Cancel order.

Speaking of fact checking, has m0nty-fa yet offered any actual evidence for his assertions this morning about Trump carrying classified materials abroad (presumably after he left the presidency) or his supposed actions causing multiple CIA agents to be compromised?
Thought not.
He did try to talk Argentina out of taking on the poms in 1982, on the basis that the poms would roll up their sleeves give them one helluva lickin’

TaliDan’s new unionised CFA bureaucracy has the shits up because very few volunteers have submitted their vaccination status.
Big state daddy sending out personal email warnings that we can’t man the trucks if we haven’t filling in all the paperwork. Let’s see if this bit of bullshit survives till fire season.
It would be a good look to have VicPlod drag volunteers off trucks and fine them for firefighting without the approved vaccination pass.

There’ve been more invoices than voices.
So far at least. I suspect the latest voice will mean more invoices.
That seems to be how it works.

Hmm – “fritzing vibes”. Is this what you mean? “Fritzing can be seen as an electronic design automation (EDA) tool for non-engineers: the input metaphor is inspired by the environment of designers (the breadboard-based prototype), while the output is focused on accessible means of production. As of December 2, 2014 Fritzing has made a code view option, where one can modify code and upload it directly to an Arduino device.[7]” Reference from Wiki. Perhaps you have a colloquial usage that you might care to explain. My intuition has stood me in good stead for many years and through lots of bullshit. Fritzing or not.
The social media pages tell me that paragon of sportsmanship, Adam Goodes will shortly begin a position in an advisory role in the development of indigenous soccer.
Good. Goodes and socka deserve each other.
I thought he would have been a prime contender for the “Voice?”
Soccer was way ahead of him.
They banned “studs out” tackles before he even thought of the idea.
What’s hilarious is monty and his enablers pretending to be concerned about a situation (a hypothetical fantasm) wherein the security of The West is “put at risk”.
There’s more sincerity in a plastic dog turd.
The comparison between m0nster and a dog turd is apt.
At least with a dog turd, you know someone has bent their back and put in an effort.
Don’t see those chalky white dog turds anymore.

Sitting on the verandah, with a large single malt, reading Keith Windschuttle, and waiting for the next round of dividends declared is a good and worthy occupation, in a self funded retirement.
Looking back, I see I’ve spent the day laying sword to Trusted Bloggers promising death to Covid jabbees on the basis of shite statistics.
I probably should also have noted that, on exactly the same basis, since the early vaccine trials, I have also been critical of those who believed the statistically impossible dream that Covid vaccines would deliver Herd Immunity.
The maths never stacked up.
At the bottom, the political lure of herd immunity through vaccination has created the various tyrannies of government we have all suffered over the past two years.
Mandates, the National Lockdown, State lockdowns – and the supporting masking social distancing minutia – all done on the basis of pressuring for 90%? 95%? vaccination rates that would ‘stop the spread’ and ‘save the hospital’ system.
All obviously based on bullshit assumptions: all discussed here on the Cat in 2020.
I might say I put the Morrison Government in a similar place as the Daily Exposé.

Youngest is in PEAC course, primary extension and challenge. Kids are picked on academic ability and thinking skills, although year after year the chosen are 9/10 girls, so methinks there’s a thumb on the scales.
So far, they have-
-built a diorama of a city of the future
-made lego robot police
-written free-verse poems about ancient Chinese maths
-presented a quiz show starring their favourite Greek superheroes
-acted a play with the minor characters from fairy tales
…and a few other low-energy fingerpainting activities. I’ve stopped myself from asking her about it, because all and sundry can read my bafflement at the pointless pettiness of what they “work on”. I had discourse with the course co-ordinator early on after she sent a ditzy “thanks for letting us have your children, we’re going to make their dreams a reality and teach them how to change the world for the better!!!” cover letter out. I have banned myself from contact her again.
I mean, jeeezus crist. I did PEAC last century and it was matchsticks and baking soda and tidy girls from the fancy town schools, but I know now that it was chemistry, engineering, maths, and work work work, crunching concepts and equations and taking measurements.
The latest bit of tat to come through was a consent form for publishing names and photos on their amazing social media platforms to show the interwebs the amazing workings and learnings of our wonderful talented kiddies- not even from PEAC but from a third party provider who was running a dumbarse “tournament” in a city up the way. The tournament involved making costumes from recycled materials, and some sort of five minute play about what Mr MacGregor did with Peter’s dad when he got caught.
I flat out said no- (wifey has probably fished it out of the bin and signed it, conformity with the crowd is essential for Kiddo’s mental health)- names and faces on Facebook has got nothing to do with educating kids, it’s simply free advertising for the company on the smartfone pixel-go-round of the mummies. I’m very wary that the soft-serve Disney+ curriculum and affirmation of the crowd is replacing the self-respect that a kid gets by ploughing through difficult work, difficult times, difficult classmates.
At a glance, the whole PEAC program could now be mistaken for a scheme to take the brainy girls out of school and water down their diet to the point where they really really wanna just be Tik Tok ditzes.
