I knew this Government would be good for satire. I had no idea it would be this good. They're writing it for us, literally.

She bought it brand new three years ago and neither fuel prices nor carbon emissions would make her quit it. “It’s sticking with me till the day I drop.”
Like, once the baby arrives she'll trade it for something smaller?

And still don't know how those reflective cats eyes at the Royal Oak roundabout know to flash when someone's about to use the pedestrian crossing. That's just freakin' amazing.
Yeah - like the thermos flask that keeps hot things hot & cold things cold. How does it know?

And someone left the cake out in the rain.. my point being, this is the most psychedelic mixed metaphor I have seen in a long time.
Heh!
Going forward, I think we should declare a moratorium on the use of the shark-jumping metaphor. It was never really that clever or funny, and it serves to confuse.
Mikaere's use of the phrase didn't strike me as an attempt to be either clever or funny. He has a point and, as usual, makes it rather well.

That would take one talented wombat.
With, erm, a very strange digestive tract & anus-
Not at all - every common wombat was doing it long before Plato applied his Fine Mind to such things. Now they're helping save Tasmania from the recession, tho hopefully our six-toed cousins haven't yet heard of kopi luwak.

One of the more useless yet pretty things I ever made at skool was a rhombicosidodecahedron.
Not a rhombicosidodecahedron stool?

"passing non-Platonic solids"? Well, I really hope for your sake they werent dodecohedronic...
Maybe something like those remarkable cubic items that wombats produce. Someone who once had the dubious pleasure of having one sleep on the foot of his bed (in Tasmania, natch) told me how he vainly tried to catch it in the act to see how it did it.

Sure Gio. Now take your pills, and if the authoritarian streak's still there in the morning, go pick on someone else.

I like how you got the words imminent and immanent into the same post.
Yeah, but off-one's meds cute has its limitations.

Ah, I see that you've spent some time there too.
I live within the dark circle of the Richmond Club's $2 shuttle. Unlike many of my neighbours I've resisted becoming an initiate, yet though I invoke the names of the Ancient Ones, even Chthulhu and Dread Dormammu, Im drawn by the inexorable power of the vortex.
Ian's shocking revelations no doubt stem from his legendary powers of divination. Among his many gifts is an unrivalled skill with the acronym. For example, from the seemingly bland TEMUKA he was once able to extract:
Tiny
Emirate
Manufacturing
Useful
Kaolithic
ArticlesBefore that I was unaware of the Emir of Temuka. Now I know that he's out there somewhere in the Southern darkness, doing stuff with the likes of Hassan i Sabbah. And now Bollard.
