TRIPLE ZOB
Not that Kevin Rudd is an unusual person or anything:
When a journalist asked if he could ask a national question, Mr Rudd responded with: “Zob zob zob.”
‘Zob’ - according to the French wife - is a the word used to describe the genitals of a man to children who would find the word ‘penis’ amusing. Something akin to ‘willy’ in the Australian vernacular.
Soaring rhetoric from the future PM…

Kevin 07 speaks YOUr language…
When a journalist asked if he could ask a multicultural question, Mr Rudd responded with: “Bosom, bosom, bosom… penis, penis… arsehole!”*
*Translation from Cantonese to wage-neutral Unionese inspired by the early work of Tex Perkins, Lachlan McLeod and the Beasts of Bourbon.
“Zob zob zob.”
“Kodos, no! Do not break cover in front of the humans!”
On the upside, we now know he speaks more French than John Kerry….

Last week coke bottles (Mark Latham’s description) said that JWH has succeeded in ‘muddying the waters’ and today she said that he had successfully ‘confused the issue’. Very balanced.
This was followed by a work-experience journo chick piece about how voluntary student unionism had stopped the NUS doing what it always did: providing sports, food and campus services…. don’t get me started.

The end of the world as we knew it happened with VSU.
If the funds extorted from students for SU Fees was really used to assist ALL students there wouldn’t be a problem. But when the idiots spent it on themselves as political wannabes and spent the entire annual budget on one issue of the leftist diversity-peddling crapfest of a rag they produce they don’t deserve the responsibility of funding.
Oh, and Big Jim, I hope that the “food” provided by the NUS was in inverted commas, because I’d certainly not describe it a food.#57 listening to it now Big Jim- (an hour behind up here) Michelle’s a shocker.
Did you hear AM and the whining househusband gnashing his teeth cos the interest rates had risen almost one percent since they’d taken out afixedloan for an expensive inner city property?

Doesn’t “fixed” mean his rates won’t change?

Posted by Rob Crawford on 2007 11 06 at 06:28 PM • permalinkListen to the
whiney bitchTurneys on AM today (@ about 10:00)complaining about the increase in interest rates. She already pays one third of her wages in mortgage repayments. She’s a consultant and she and her husband/partner decided that they would live on her wage and the husband would stay at home to look after their 11 month old child.
They have a house in Newtown (NEWTOWN!!! Inner west of Sydney), Newtown property prices 12 months to October 2007 and they are complaining about the repayments?
Some of the other little things they say are a bit annoying, too. “Every cent the petrol goes up we have to look very carefully.”Interest rates have gone up by 1/4 of one percent.
So Kev get’s off the campaign bus, gets asked a question and the first thing he says is: “zob zob zob”. I’d always wondered what they did on the campaign bus….

I believe Mr. Rudd was quite rudely telling the press to zob off.
Pretty damn close to another definition of zob.
a weak or contemptible person; a fool
I can’t understand why this rudd is getting off so cheaply, for IF this was rudd’s meaning, the press should be digging his grave, in an election cycle…BUT they are not.
Zob is awfully close to ‘Zod’, as in General Zod, who got his arse kicked by Superman. Equally close to Zog, as in King Zog, last king of Albania. Neither of which are exactly top-grade role models.
I found this Zoggian anecdote on Wikipedia:The King’s Chamberlain was instructed to accost visitors to the local hotel in the capital Tirana with the demand that they attend a Royal audience, at which formal morning dress should be worn. The visitor would be referred to a local outfitter where they could buy the requisite clothes, although this turned out to be quite expensive. The subsequent audience at the palace would be brief and perfunctory. The outfitters was owned by King Zog.
It’s still possible that Labor will hold Canberra after the election. Even so, I’m looking forward to 2008. In fact, now that my new calendar has arrived, can we maybe start the year early?

Aww gee. And there I was, thinking it was that whole rape, beheading and blowing up non-Muslims thing.
Well I’ll be zobbed!
I assumed that Kevin had been playing scrabble on Facebook and found out Zob wasn’t allowed - on a triple word score, too!
Posted by ErnestBludger on 2007 11 06 at 10:32 PM • permalinkWhat every level of the media ignores is the fact that an increase in interest rates means a better return for investors- I’m happy to see them head north. It also generally keeps the exchange rate high, meaning better returns on cash accounts and offshore shares. If knobs choose to borrow money to purchase a commodity at an inflate price, it’s a personal problem- frankly government should have nothing to do with the financial market and their idiotic efforts to interfere in the housing market have been utterly futile and inflationary.
I sold our last property two years ago, and now lease as I won’t pay over the odds for anything; the difference between what I pay on the lease and what I’d be forking out to service a mortgage on the grossly inflated cost of the property goes into shares and other investments which earn a return rather than feeding banks margins- anyone who does otherwise is a dickhead, and I have no sympathy for their whining.
It’s not as if we have actual property rights in this country anyway, so I see fuck-all difference between renting and owning real estate.Re the “zob zob zob” routine, perhaps Kevvie’s planning to lead a pack of Albanian boy scouts when he’s flogged like a slow favourite in a couple of weeks time.
“Zob zob” I could understand, but “Zob zob zob” is just excessive.

Habib, I am told that more people earn interest on bank deposits and the like than pay interest on mortgages. Just think of all the pensioners who have their life savings in one of those accounts that pays 5.65% or whatever. The “financially sophisticated” might think they are mad for not owning shares or bonds or unit trusts, but eldsters are conserative with their cash (generally) because they cannot afford to fuck up.
ie, like my parents.
An increase in interest rates actually benefits a huge range of people that the media can’t be bothered to find and talk to.
After all, who wants to hear a good news story about a granny talking about how much better off she is thanks to an increase in interest rates when you can have a bad news story about a family that is about to have to sell their kidneys or lose the house.
Posted by mr creosote on 2007 11 07 at 12:20 AM • permalink#94- Which they paid far too much for; the only thing that’s driving the cost of housing up is the sad fact that there are plenty of idiots out there who are prepared to pay more for a commodity than the vendor paid- intrinsically most urban city houses are worth around $150K tops, with the building declining in value due to depreciation. “Scarcity of land” is a load of bollocks- while there’s no new blocks opening up in Newtown or St Kilda, there’s shitloads of vacant land all over the country, just no-one wants to live there.
The other point about increased interest rates is that it greatly helps self-funded retirees, actually reducing the welfare bill.
The Turneys need to get over themselves- and if they’re short of dough, let the whiny bitch of a househusband go out and get a job- there’s plenty of them around.
It’s about time people lived with their choices instead of expecting a sling extorted from others who didn’t make dumb decisions.
After Latham, I thought the Labor Party would make sure its parliamentary leaders were sane. I mean, had they won the 2004 election, Labor would have had to confront some extremely awkward moments as the depth of the leader’s madness was exposed.
So when Rudd came along, thought that insanity wasn’t among his defects. Now I’m not so sure.
Right, that does it.
If this Turney bloke can get away with the missus working while he stays home and plays mummy, whilst probably paying off a $600,000 mortgage, just to live in the inner city, then so can I.
As soon as Dirty Harriet gets home, I’m laying it all on the table.
If she wants a kid, she’s going to have to earn more to keep me in style.
Iwill demand askum, beg if I have to.
Bugger it, I don’t want to live in Newtown anyway, and I’d probably do more harm than good as a full time stay at home dad (not to mention go insane).
Think I’ll stick with things as they are.
We rent, and save for our future.
We live in a part of Sydney that is God’s own, (the Shire), but we still pay through the teeth for it.One day Dirty Harriet and I will buy, I guess, but buggered if it will be in Sydney.
I really can’t wait for the phone calls from luvvies like that when the Kruddster gets in, and his inability to do anything but ZOB the economy forces rates through the roof.
Mr Turney might have to ‘gasp’ get a haircut and get a real job, as they say. :)

She would just laugh at me at first.
Then I would be tap dancing for the rest of my natural life with one leg. :)She keeps telling me these anecdotes about other people and how they manage having a baby and careers, etc.
Then she looks at me funny and it’s all like some french movie you catch on SBS at 1am.
I just think that if she really wants to have a child with me I should be rewarded like Mr Turney has been for all of the hard work a man has to put into the ‘miracle of childbirth’.
(Ducks behind dog and awaits the thunderbolts)I couldn’t do it anyway, me as a kept man just doesn’t sit right at all.
An owned man, however, is quite different.
And Dirty Harriet likes a man to be just that.
Even if he is in traction for large periods of time. :)#101, Well, it’s a good thing she’s got a sense of humour. That means after she laughs, she’s only going to give you a light beating.
He he he. If I can still work without having anyone babysit terribly often, I’m sure Dirty Harriet can find a way to do it. He he he.
I get the feeling it only took one stint in traction for Dirty Harriet to pull you into line though!

I did the stay at home dad thing for about six months. Best thing I ever did. Before the little monkey popped out, all I could think about was getting back to work.
Afterwards….well, you’ll understand one day. Just give it a go. You might surprise yourself. Certainly shocked the shit out of me.

Everyone says that, but I am still scared of the thought that I would be responsible for something so precious as a baby.
My mates (and family) find it funny that I hold them like a live grenade, but I’m just worried I’d do something wrong.If I ever have kids, I don’t want them to be coddled, (I wasn’t) but I am worried that I might stuff something up.
It’s a big responsibility, an innocent life, and although I have those anyway in my hands from time to time, the thought of it being my own child is just a little scary to me.
I want nothing more than to have a family, because our kids would be part of both Dirty Harriet and I.
My hat’s off to those who have kids. :)That said, we get married next year, and maybe I won’t have a choice.
Not that I’d mind, in that instance. :)
Oh, and if we were to have a daughter that took after Dirty Harriet, my condolences in advance to the parents of any boy who goes within 15 feet of her after she turns 11.Folks can take that as a warning, if they like.

Please don’t tell me that the future legal defence is already giving him tips on ‘Baby Kissing on The Campaign Trail’?
Bill Shorten would make sure that everyone in your electorate who got trapped in a mine would have him turn up to bag out somebody on their behalf on national TV.
You are so lucky. :)
#109 He he he. And if you and Dirty Harriet have a son, will I need to make sure I keep a loaded gun with me at all times after my little one turns 13?
#110 I actually saw him in the supermarket (if it wasn’t him, it was his stunt double), and I hightailed it out of there. The future legal defence is innocent; she doesn’t deserve that trauma!
On the plus side, I don’t think there’s any mines in my electorate, but considering some of the neighbouring suburbs there could be landmines.

185600, don’t sweat it. They’re tough little buggers. Every parent I know has dropped their kids on their head at least once.
And don’t worry about the grenade thing. I saw a bloke drop one on the range once. Right in the pit. The DS just grabbed him by the webbing and threw the idiot out, then jumped straight out himself. Like an Olympic high jumper. Unbelievable what adrenaline will do for you.
The moral? There’s always someone there to pick you up if you drop the bundle.
I could never bear to hold the little buggers before I had one. Smelly, messy, icky little things. Mewling, puking little bags of poo. Destroyers of laptops and ravagers of CD collections.
Then you have one, and they throw up all over you at 3am, and you just think it’s great. (Ever tried getting curdled milk vomit out of a hairy chest? You’ll be sorry….)
