thank you for the laugh WG

its great for ratings

...

For those who slept through it, the world as we knew it did end.... however, instead of going to heaven we were transported to a parallel world for more of the same....

Why? Simply because have not behaved well enough to go up there..... or the other place down below.

Now c'mon, people, if'n I can turn my life around and forsake my wicked ways (curried cabbage n' all), you lot can do much better....

Yes, we have another chance.   Prophet Camping has said that he got his figures slightly wrong and that October 21st is now the big day, so how about you lot clean up your acts so that we may ascend to a greater place and not to some identical world with more of the samo-samo.

I mean, here I was hoping to awaken in some warm sunny place where everything is perfect - where there's no illness and no need for Viagra or painkillers for my sore back... to a place where shandy is on tap all over and KFC isn't fattening - and what do I get?   A cold Winter's morning, frostbite on some of my extremities (one in particular).... a shipload of pills for arthritis and IBS (something I didn't notice while consuming copious quantities of curried cabbage), and some foul smelling ointment for itchy armpits (which only began while stressing over the non-arrival of a bit of 'rapture').... so c'mon, people.... get with the programme.

I haven't felt 'Rapture' since my 3rd and final honeymoon, and YOU ALL NEED TO BEHAVE BETTER, OKAY!!!!!!!

I thought Florida was God's waiting room.  We have its equivalent in Oz....it's called Queensland....

I don't like hot all the time or cold all the time. A little bit here and there is just fine thanks.

They named a city in Australia after skinhit??????????

Quoting Uvah, reply 67it's called Queensland.

Did I say that?

I don't remember saying that.

Maybe I did.

I dunno.

actually.... it's a State....  where Starkers lives.... it's described as... 'beautiful one day.. perfect the next'.... 'cept when cyclones go through... 

Floods...

Schoolies...

Cane toads....

B-Joh B-Jelke B-Petersen...  [some quotes] :-

"Don't you worry about that"

"Goodness gracious, I know what you're trying to do."

"Just you wait and see."

"Let me tell you, what is good for Queensland is good for Australia."

On news conferences: "I call it feeding the chooks."

On unionism in his maiden speech on August, 1947: "It is a form of treachery and can only lead to economic upheaval of a severity not often experienced."

On industrial relations: "The 40-hour week has given the opportunity to many to while away their time in hotels."

On John Howard and Ian Sinclair during his Joh for PM campaign in 1987: "You can push a 44-gallon drum of molasses up a hill easier than you could push these two fellas."

On the Joh for PM campaign: "I'm a bushfire raging across the country." And when it failed: "I never really wanted to go anyway."

On finances under Gough Whitlam: "Australia is bankrupt. It is even worse than that."

On human rights: "What's the ordinary man in the street got to do with it?"

On condoms: "We don't want any of that sort of thing up here."

On press criticisms: "The greatest thing that could happen to the state and nation is when we get rid of all the media ... then we could live in peace and tranquillity and no one would know anything."

And heaven forbid it would change!!!    Yeah, in my own irreverent style, I was just mocking the whole end of the world joke.  It is so darned ridiculous that one man could... would be the purveyor of such bad tidings.  There are no modern-day prophets and this Camping idiot certainly was not made privy to any monumental plans to end the world. Nope, I don't recall him being around when that information was being divulged.

As for the weather, Karen, ours here in Queensland is similar to yours in Florida, though in the South-West of the state in can get pretty cold... minus 0c and lower, though I prefer it cooler rather than outright hot anyway.  But you're right!   We do have to take the good with the not so good/bad... otherwise we'd never know what's really good and when we're well off.  Oh, and the bitching, yeah, it's that safety valve when the steam's just about coming out of my ears and I go all cross-eyed in anger.  Yup, bitching mixed with an abundance of expletives does it for me every time... I cool down, the steam stops and I stop seeing two of everything that gave me the shits in the first place.

At least while we're waiting, tho, we play a decent brand of football.  Could never see how that aerial ping pong from Victoria was a real game of footy... looks more like a bunch of ballerinas prancing around to me.  Yup, maybe that's why the call it the GaYFL.

wow Po....you must be getting old. it's that really what you have stooped to? there was a time when you were actually funny and your cheapshots made me laugh... either that or your out of drugs....

Interestingly Aussie Rules is actually the oldest Football Code on the planet.

...but I still think it's crap.  Only footie match I've ever been to was Arsenal vs Stoke City...1973.

It's that ecig he's on.  It's fuckin' up his funny.

We all still here, bitches...maybe next time 'tho...
