SEND THEM ALL HOME!!! My rant for the day, enjoy!
April 2nd 2008 10:34
Funny how so many 'Aussie' icons in the media, sport, theatre, film, politics, to name just a few categories, are actually from New Zealand, but we still claim them as our own! Some of these I would like to keep here, like 'OUR' Russell and then, of course, there are some New Zealand may have back, alive or dead!
Joe Bjelke Petersen, is dead.
Polite society says, "You should never speak ill of the dead!"
Quite right too!
Joh Bejelke Petersen is dead, GOOD!
So you can have him back "land of the long white glove", as Humphries said. And you can have Derryn Hinch back too, alive, but a paid up member of the living dead, according to some less charitable sources. The "Human Headline" is a real headache in my opinion. I knew one of his ex-wives, she used to call him Darryl, (I think it was), as she hated his real name, yet others, perhaps more unkindly, called him "Derro!" Don't know why? It should have nothing to do with his good taste in white wine.
Then there is the once ubiquitous presence, in TV and radio commercials, of John Laws! 'Big John!', BIG BAD singin' John! He has retired from berating the world on radio, so he can go back to Noooo Zeeeeelund too, even though he actually comes from WAU, New Guinea! I just feel, since NOO ZEEEElund has been so generous in sharing its prized exhibits with us, we should share the 'love-load', and let them have a big GULP of these 'icons' precious bodily fluids too...'metaphorically speaking, of course! (that was for Damo, lover of metaphor!)
Most 'youngens' would not know that Laws used to release albums of ballads, he usually sang about truckers, and trucking, and long winded highways, or was that winding highways, no, I think it fits as is.
He has stated that he developed his love for trucks while working as a jackeroo in Queensland, for five minutes it would seem, yet according to wikipedia, the 'big rigs' were not travelling through Qld when he says he was there, all a bit confusing, you work it out yourself, if you could be bothered: wikipedia LINK: John Laws Biog.
While it is true Laws loves cars, he has a garage of incredibly expensive machines we hear, and he may have had a sneaking admiration for 'big rigs', that is big trucks, I am unsure as to how many actual truck drivers were invited to dinner by John and his wife, "The Princess"? A lot of media, and other assorted non-entities, called Laws' wife Caroline, 'The Princess', either in print, or BEHIND her back, never to her face I might add, the gutless snipes!
I used to be friends with ('The Princess') Caroline, and she was a lovely person, loved my ridiculous stories, but then she got together with John, big bad John, who seemed to loathe anyone who was not fabulously wealthy and/or famous.
His displeasure at having to suffer meeting you was clearly apparent, even before you opened your mouth, he slightly sneered and his soul deadened eyes glowered at you with the gaze of a disinterested taipan.
Well, at least that was the impression Laws gave me when I was first introduced to him by his then new date, soon to become "Princess" wife. Maybe he thought I might be competition? Doubtful. Maybe he thought, 'eeewww!, what a prancing, mincingly obnoxious, utterly detestable shirt-lifting poofter!' But, he may not have thought that either, although, he has been successfully sued for making what the law courts regarded as homophobic remarks, while on air on the radio!
I wonder if it ever struck him as ironic, that he was successfully sued in the law courts? Probably not, that would be allowing too much latitude for imaginative wit.
I never quite understood why the media and the seething masses lobbed that moniker on Caroline? No matter, she may stay in Australia, for she is not a Nooo Zeelunder, and I still like her, even though she tossed me into the reject toss-pot bin, soon after Laws got his claws on her.
Well, maybe he was right?
A witty poor person is a danger to have around the house...I guess? Besides, how can you invite a poor person to a dinner for the wealthy and famous? I can now hear you all muttering; unthinkable, how awkward, what on EARTH would one talk to them about? 'Does the factory you slave in have air conditioning? Lunch breaks, by any chance? No?'
No, it would never work!
I would never 'fit in' and quite right too! For I find most of these 'sorts', to be obnoxiously preening, egotistical, unimaginative, creatively inexpressive, conscience constipated cowards, whose ultimate sin against society is, being boring self-indulgent, mean spirited, sociopathic monsters!
Besides, we all know poor people should be locked into gated communities, for their own protection!
These high security walled enclaves, with their yards of dreadful dusty, weed choked, chemical cesspits, all conveniently backing onto huge, smoke belching industrial sites, where they are all employed making runners, and bumper bars, for the wealthy.
In closing, as one semi rich-wit once said , "Bring back the stocks! Then we can have fun with the poor again!"

nothing beats..like a night in the stocks!
I must admit, I too could think of a few people who would look good in the stocks, especially if I was standing before them, with a large bucket of rotten veggies!

and maybe a few Alaskan snowballs too, ones that have been left in the freezer for a month or so!
I did that last year, and they shrunk and turned into rocks I found out!
