    Pog, maybe it is an australian thing? I can also be pretty dense at times so that could be it.

  19. #18 Col. Milquetoast,

    I owe you MANY apologies.

    THAT, is a huge compliment, so, I will forgive you not knowing an old Aussie toothpaste ad!!! :)

  20. It always amuses me when people like Miranda drop in and make smarmy comments about what is really just friendly banter between like minded people. I do poke around sometimes in blogs of a more left-of-centre persuasion, and it always astounds me that even on dedicated general threads, the conversation between even the regular contributors boils down to a general hate-fest about Howard, Bush, neo-cons, the war on terror, Workchoices, silencing dissent (AKA people expressing views other than their own), the intervention et al. It seems that even when it is an open thread, there is no interpersonal interaction or generation of ideas, just a whining bitchiness. That Miranda felt the need to negatively comment on the fact that the contributors here genuinely interact and indulge in light hearted conversation is more telling about the sort of person she is than the sort of people who contribute here.

    What does she do when she gets together with her own friends? Sit in a Café bemoaning the VRWC that has denied her the opportunity to live in the socialist utopia they told her about in the Women in Modern Society subject in her Arts degree?

    Extrapolating this idea a little further, it seems that no mention of 9/11, Iraq or Afghanistan can be made without reference to the war crimes of Howard/Bush/Blair. Additionally, (vaguely coming back on topic), Israel is the personification of evil on earth whereas Hamas, Fatah, and Hezbollah are poor oppressed peoples striving for freedom in a word dominated by the VRWC.  Does this mean that in their nasty little circle of friends, when something truly bad (as opposed to just the perception of violence or oppression) happens to one of them that they would all turn and denounce the evil inherent in their friends before they dare to question the motives of the protagonist? It’s a fairly backward way of thinking that is demonstrated daily in places like LP, Blogocracy et al.

    End of rant. Sharpe out.

  21. Nice rant Richard.

    Visiting Left blogs, you’d almost think friendship and banter were illegal, wouldn’t you?

  22. G’day Richard. Just poking around.

  23. #20 Richard,

    go for it!!  Don’t worry about the rant, what you said about Miranda and her friends is absolutely true.

    They are NEVER happy. Nothing will ever make them happy.

    It reminds me of miserable women I know that have NO idea how to accept a compliment.

    If someone gives you a compliment, SAY THANK YOU!

    These miseries, on the other hand, will whine and complain that you’re making fun of them, or you must be blind!!!

    I accept compliments in the spirit they are given.


    AS MY DUE!!! ;)

  31. At news we read:

    Rescued Indonesians denied refugee status and sent home. “People from other countries do not have a right to stay here on the basis they would be economically better off.”

    Me-too again?

  33. #27 killaette, we might take seriously Miranda Divide’s complaint about small, unimportant comments if she didn’t make it in a non-sequitor small unimportant comment.

  34. #32 Excellent night, thank you eeneie!,

    You are absolutely right!  We should purge all the schmucks, yutzes and putzes from the site.

    Maybe we should bring in a Moyle to do a little trimming!

  43. The orange ribbon says “shut down Guantanomo and all US secret prisons”

    It also signifies you’re against underage drinking in Indiana- wonder which cause the Abcess is supporting?

  44. #42 Imgowingoodere Crash. It’s good to see you ‘round these parts.

    The Miranda is there to scare off gatecrashers. The invited guests here will make enough mess to clean up, we don’t need uninvited ones too.

  48. #31 Stack, I reckon it’ll sink without a trace because it’s being done by the ALP and not HoWARd and co.

  56. #50- Ah yes Mrs Marsh, Marge the ‘you’re soaking in it’ woman, Prof Julius Sumner-Mills, Rita the Eta Eater, those were the golden years.

    But there was one advertising figure I hated as a kid: Norm the fat slob- and that was before I’d even heard of the man who created him in mis own image.

    Senior Minionette Pogria - that was quick, and I wondered why you had that grin on your dial this morning. Erm… where the hell is Senior Minionette Kae? She’s supposed to be supervising the refit of that starship we borrowed off the Moxargon Group!

    HOWARD!!

    #237 page 2 Colonel Milquetoast, Howard, despite being from Enceladus (lost story involving Wronwright, Sgt Mom and a ‘borrowed’ Klingon Bird of Prey) knows which side his moonbat is buttered on. He normally eats (AKA devours for sustenance) a variety of things, but such enslaved moonbats as the VRWC has finished with are his standard fare. See previous references to his three-foot tongue and ability to breathe through his ears for the other meaning of the term. This is why the Minionettes are generally happy in the service.
