…Or maybe ‘ways to vote’ cards? Presently, the triennial choice seems to be Tweedledee or Tweedle D minus. In what other arena would we tolerate such a blatant duopoly? But if you vote for a non-mainstream party, aren’t you just throwing away your vote? NO! That’s America!* Though it may *seem* like we are the 51st State^ (underlined by the fact that their cultural imperialism is so insidiously comprehensive that in dire emergencies we now routinely call 911#), we got this cutey called preferential – far preferable, as far as I’m concerned. For things of great import, my first preference is to have them explained by cartoon. This is the best of its kind. http://www.chickennation.com/2013/08/18/you-cant-waste-your-vote/ In the upper house, if you number 1 above the line, we may be subjected to the *preference-whisperer’s* dark arts that produced the Fed Rep who’s been described recently as a plant. I can’t guarantee she’s not part vegetable, but I’m pretty sure any good that comes of her will be fairly random. You have to turn up, so do a li’l reading**, get intentional & fill in a few numbers below the line, eh? At least 1 to 5 for the state election (not 1, 2, 5). If you lose count, they will give you a new tablecloth to fill in – I had to get two replacemats a cupla years ago – but it added up in the end! The main Q to ask yourself, I think, is this: are we up to the fat end of the wedge yet? You decide.

EL PRAYERBAMBINAS’re setting one for you THIS SATDY 9-11pm @ The UNION HOOTLE BRUNSWEEQ – it’s a mild & acceptable form of self-abuse, tho, unlike other similars, you don’t grow out of it. Well, we never did. Of either, truth be known. Not me, ocors – but the rest of the band, though – woo! frenzied – wouldn’t credit it, what, at their age… xxx e’en

So. I know PBABIES are at the Royal Oak Fitzroy THIS SUNDAY arvo, only – what time? It’s usually 4pm but, what with daylight saving starting that day, is it earlier or laterer than usually usual? If you put the clock 4ward, I put it to you, that mean time does not mean our eastern standards have been lowered in the meantime. And, without wishing to be overly 4thright, 4 is un4gettably 4told as, per4ce, the 4ray point into per4mance. 4 4k sake. xxxxe’eeen

Oop! All of a sudden there’s an unsodden flurry of activity from the cumulative Fire&Thephtbabies – how can it be explained? The advent of spring? Well, p’aps… something’s got our choox laying again, too. Ah, one week of 20+ degrees, and Melbourne emerges like a pasty butterfly from its chilled, football-powered chrysalis… we outlasted the piloerection-ridden, strum-numbing cold! Again!

for my cumulative odd behaviors and notions. Some people are afraid of spiders, some of heights; I, and it takes some courage to admit it, have a morbid fear of widths. THIS is why I prefer those safety glasses with the blinker-like sides… THIS is why I actively cultivate tunnel vision & am unnerved by crabs! There I’ve said it. It’s out & I’m glad of it. See you & PRAYERBABIES at the LOMOND THIS FRYNYT, hopefully in an orderly single-file queue from the stage to the bar. xxxe’en

From the people who brought you *iconic* and *perfect storm* comes the old and confusing…*egregious*! Suddenly it’s everywhere! This egregious behaviour & that egregious abuse. But how do you pronounce it & what does it mean? Well, it doesn’t sound like Old Greg & but it does likely mean you’re a glaring or flagrant wanker. In which case, when pointed at you, I suggest responding: “You mean, of course, in the archaic usage.*” for efficacious doubt-removal.
