  1. Well, the run Kevy run, kevy run run run song would sound brilliant in the background.

  2. Funny has a new hero and his name is Hildebrand.

    I have never seen Adelaide summarised so perfectly and succinctly.

  8. Way Off Topic:

    This afternoon on 2BL they’ve been mocking the very real UN Year of the Potato, which hopes to, “focus world attention on the role that the potato can play in providing food security and alleviating poverty of the population.”

    Yes, lets put all our food security eggs in the potato basket.  How could we possibly go wrong with that strategy?

    It was with trepidation that I opened the link here…
    It’s safe!
    Sort of.

    I hope this isn’t going to interfere with Joe’s Quit programme.

  12. #10 From the link: “There are conditions attached.”

    Translation: “This probably won’t happen. Wayne has to deliver some spare cash to Natasha Stott Despoja and let’s face it, we will stuff up the economy before you get your tax cuts.”

  13. I’d love to see Wayne Swan and Costello have a great debate!!! Costello would win hands down.

  14. From Joe’s vids - thought it was the election diarrhoea - wasn’t that a big stack of the Rudder’s Depends in the corner?

    Posted by egg_ on 2007 10 19 at 01:27 AM • permalink

    From the previous thread - sure the Rudder’s Depends hadn’t sprung a leak and they blamed it on the dog, as usual?

  16. This article is worth a read.  It’s about UK politics, but I think it strikes a chord as it neatly explains how perceptions colour political events.

  19. Kevvie has announced that he’s going to reduce the number of tax brackets from four to three.

    That’s obviously because he can’t remember them all.

  20. Mr Garrison with the Mr Slave episode was hilarious.

    Who can resist Mr Garrison’s friend Mr Hat?

  25. Me too, but not quite Kev.

    This election is boiling down to the choice between the tried and true Drizabone and a plastic bag with arm holes cut in it.

  30. Talk about a boring speaker. Some guy was eating ear wax to kill the boredom and another woman had set her hair on fire to stay awake.

  32. $1.73 Rudd $2.40 Howard at Betfair. I take it that the punters don’t think much of the Ruddsters tax policy.

    What, you don’t think ear wax is yummy?

    I tried it once when I was a kid. It most definitely is not.

  40. What’s the difference between earwax and broccoli?

    You just can’t get kids to eat broccoli.

  41. Wonder if the Rudder’s tried Brazilian wax?

  42. What does earwax taste like?

    I hope I never find out. Yukk.

  44. Young Kevin Rudd, bored by en-acts
    Was tempted to explore ear wax.
    While he assayed the mother lode
    The parliamentary stage was strode
    By Albanese, whose rhetoric skill
    Would any pollie’s sentience kill.

  45. Sociologist Erving Goffman studied the rules for nose picking ; it’s taken to be okay if you’re in your office alone, but you’re supposed to stop if somebody comes in.

    I suppose it would apply to ear debris, if people are already used to the idea ; which perhaps they are not.

  51. “Oh what shall I do” thought young Kevin.
    “I’m hungry; dinner’s not until seven.
    They’ll never rebuke us for a bit of ear-mucus -
    Its slimy consistency’s heaven.”

  54. Joe is very funny (I think I may still have some of those shoes with the small holes in them, they are going to Vinnies tomorrow), but Kevin07 handled him with ease. It is obvious that Kev is himself quite a “clever” politician.
