AUTUMN DESIGNS REVEALED
It’s Fashion Week in Sydney, so ...
Top by NSWRL of Sydney (1991); pants by Big Brother ’08 press kit; ugg boots by ... wait; they don’t work with this combination at all! Whoever added those should be poisoned. They destroy the entire look.
I dunno, Tim, that looks pretty comfortable. Eye searing, but comfortable.

I’m getting dizzy and faint.
Thanking you in advance.Posted by Harry Bergeron on 2008 04 29 at 11:28 AM • permalinkLike virtually everything else in Australia, I don’t know what winnie blues are. But I do like the name.
Posted by wronwright on 2008 04 29 at 11:40 AM • permalinkWould anyone care if there wasn’t a famous lingerie model in attendance?
The designer of those pants must have been smoking (inhaling, unlike President Clinton), snorting, swigging, whatever to come up with that. Wow, man! Groovy!
Posted by Deborah Leigh on 2008 04 29 at 12:13 PM • permalinkThe boots suggests an old photo of Pamela Anderson, prior to her discovery that they were actually made from dead sheep and not, as the name suggests, from uggs.
This shot goes a long way towards clarifying one of the most mystifying (to me) yet regardless funny lines from Spinal Tap: “... somebody who dresses like an Australian’s nightmare.”

Posted by Deborah Leigh on 2008 04 29 at 12:34 PM • permalinkTim honey, lay off the horizontals. They make you look fat. Or short or ... oh, God! I just broke a nail!
Posted by Gary from Jersey on 2008 04 29 at 12:53 PM • permalinkSecond Guess: Tim is trying to disguise himself as an American tourist visiting Paris or fookin Bruges.
Hint, Tim: Carbs. Many, many carbs.

;^)
Posted by Spiny Norman on 2008 04 29 at 02:54 PM • permalinkSpeaking of pastors, according to a Yahoo News article, “Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Tuesday he was outraged by the latest divisive comments from his former pastor and rejected the notion that he secretly agrees with him.”
Well, when you sit in church and listen to that crap for twenty years and just nod your head, some folks are likely to get the notion that you do agree - and not “secretly”, either.
Paco, I am now rooting for NObama to win the nomination. I think McCain will mop the floor with him. Hilldog has a better shot at beating John, but it may be too late for her to win the nomination. Dems are afraid to tick off their African American bloc.
Still, it is all very delightful and delicious.Keep the uggies, they’re the best thing for cold feet. I’m already wearing mine up there in Sunny Queensland.
Bloody Climate Change.
Temp was 2.8 at Amberley 4:00am, apparent temp was -.07 at the same time.
I might have to light the fire soon!
I think it looks kinda fetching, in a wintry-dag sort of way. (I’d wear the same combo but with trakkie dakkies. I hate flannelette jim-jams. And sheets.)
You’ve got the top right, Tim.
I’ll have to take the pants under advisement.
Posted by Nilknarf Arbed on 2008 04 29 at 05:51 PM • permalinkAnoyone else heard the latest crap from a Sydney council (I think)?
People who drive green cars will have special carparks closer to everything, like disabled people.
Great. Pretentious drivers of smug-emitting vehicles will be given more stuff. They’re already talking about lowering their registration fees… what’s one of those shit-buckets worth?Oh, and If I Ruled The World ALL the motor scooters would be compacted at Metal Recyclers.
Along with the riders.
Rolling roadblocks… One kept passing the traffic along Moggil Road at the roundabouts and the lights, right up until past Kenmore and the roadworks, then proceeded to hold up all the traffic behind doing 35-40k/h in a 70k/h zone. Don’t those little sewing machines on wheels have gears?
Be warned, Blair, by wearing a Parrramatta jersey in the mean streets of eastern Sydney, you risk having your latte served not exactly how you like it.
By the way, what’s up with the hand signals?

Taking a layer of skin from the late great Johnnie Cochran (see what you get for freeing a murderer Johnnie, d-e-a-d)...

Simple solution…Everyone paints their vehicles, green.

EXPENSIVE smug.
Why pay that much for a little car when for the same you can have a LARGE family car or a small SUV? The new, larger RAV4’s are about $35k.
Dickheads.
Wait until they need to replace the batteries on the Smug-Car!#43
Hey, works for me. But can I leave mine silver? Taa. I’ve already had a green car.Who said it isn’t easy being green? Oh, now I remember…
Definitely not easy being green… eeeeeeeew. I’d kill her. Squished with the mopeds.
O/T:
Cardinal George Pell and former NSW Premier Bob Carr oppose 2020 ‘Charter of Rights’ proposal on the grounds of transferring ‘too much power to the (unelected officials of the) courts’; Pell citing ‘Judicial activism’ amongst other issues.Much airplay from Aunty News ...
I don’t understand this thread at all. Why the boots in Australia??
Oh, wait. Maybe you’re headed for some alpine skiing in the Snowy Mountains.
I love the Australian imagination for place names:
Snowy Mountains
Great Sandy Desert
80 Mile Beach
Sydney Harbour? ... No safe haven here; navigate at your own risk.

a) Timbo is a slave to fashion and
b) Sydney-ites are experiencing autumn-related climate change.Posted by Margos Maid on 2008 04 29 at 07:45 PM • permalinkNormally the only time you see someone from Werribee dressed this formally they’re on their way to court.

The Great Barrier Reef
Great Australian BightMy personal favourites are the naming conventions applied to Fauna:
That spider has a red back. Let’s call it a red-back spider.
That spider creates a web like a funnel. Let’s call it a funnel web spider.
That snake is black with a red belly. Let’s call it a red-bellied black snake.Box jellyfish, blue-ringed octopus, ring-tailed possum, brown snake, fierce snake, yellow-bellied black snake; they’re not so much names as descriptions.
I suppose it makes identification easy.
Some fashion tips. Try tucking the jersey into the sheets masquerading as pants. Then pull the pants up really high and expose some skin above the boots. Roll the sleeves up so there’s a balance between the exposed leg skin and the exposed arm skin. I hear that’s important. Now take the arthritic fingers of the right hand and clear the shit from under the left boot.
Wait till 12 noon and catch a bus to Punchbowl and go shopping.
All the best!
#50 & 55.
Yeah.Good imaginations. Like, oh,
52nd Street
10th Avenueand so on.
That spider has a red back. Let’s call it a red-back spider. Latrodectus hasselti
That spider creates a web like a funnel. Let’s call it a funnel web spider. family Hexathelidae, subfamily Atracinae, genera atrax and hadronyche
That snake is black with a red belly. Let’s call it a red-bellied black snake. Pseudechis porphyriacusBox jellyfish (Chironex fleckeri )
blue-ringed octopus (Hapalochlaena maculosa)
common ring-tailed possum (Pseudocheirus peregrinus)
eastern brown snake (Pseudonaja textilis)
fierce snake (Oxyuranus microlepidotus)
yellow-bellied black snake (Pseudechis butleri) ;
they’re not so much names as descriptions.I think I prefer the common names to the latin… easier to remember!
Looks pretty clear to me that Blair is using these provocative images in an attempt to get 1.618 back into commenting.
Posted by Margos Maid on 2008 04 29 at 09:19 PM • permalinkMy friend, you do not know bad pants until you’ve seen me puttering around the yard in these.

What look is that Tim?
I digress. Of more importance is, which hat are you wearing?!
