The dying days of the Fourth Reich: it's the 2007 AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL ELECTION

Ok ok I'll succumb to yours guyses persistent pleadings, here it is.

And note it was prefixed with 'I'm with Little Johnny!'

Subject: Fw: Tragedy

KEVIN RUDD was visiting a primary school and he visited one of
the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and
their meanings.
The teacher asked MR. RUDD if he would like to lead the discussion
on the word "tragedy".
So the illustrious leader asked the class for an example of a "tragedy".
1 little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend, who lives on a farm,
is playing in the field & a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would
be a "tragedy."
No," said RUDD"that would be an accident."
A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying fifty
children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a
tragedy."
"I'm afraid not," explained MR. RUDD"that's what we would call
great loss."
The room went silent. No other children volunteered.
RUDD searched the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an
example of a tragedy?"
Finally, at the back of the room, little Johnny raised his hand...
In a quiet voice he said: "If A plane carrying you and Mrs RUDD was
struck by a "friendly fire" missile & blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy."
"Fantastic!" exclaimed RUDD. "That's right. And can you tell me why that
would be tragedy?"
"Well," says the boy "it has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't
be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be a f#!@ing accident either!"

Sorry I wasted your time :(

lol, i like the censoring at the end, there is something so extravagant-looking about # in a word.

moley, i think the car was an old classic kind of small car, like a morris minor or something, of the same era as the tv.

gaz once said he imagined me as a very small peruvian woman who wore pearls.

Gold.

Tim F: Going by what psephologists are saying, that was luck. It's important to note that the Galaxy poll is the outlier in the five polls being released today/tomorrow (the other four showing a clean Labor win).

estela: ahahaha oh dear.

moley: I plan to be too drunk to type.

Commentating on the election sober would be un-Australian.

Well, estela, regarding the classic Morris Minor car: of course gaz and I are classic, that goes without saying, and rather eccentric in an English way. So the car is perfect. In fact, it's what my parents drove when I was a kid.

gaz once said he imagined me as a very small peruvian woman who wore pearls.

-- estela

Ha! I imagine you as a tiny slip of a thing with very white skin and a penchant for Elizabethan love poetry. I haven't decided what colour your hair is.

I also imagine electric sound jim to be swarthily handsome, with black rimmed glasses and a strong jaw. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Africa, wtf?

I think me and my bf should spend the day writing death metal anthems to celebrate the changing of the guard. Y/N.

Y

I imagine Sasha to be thin, with longish grey-blond hair, and not dissimilar in appearance to Thurston Moore or Julian Cope.

Very much Y!

I imagine James to be genial, lined roundish face, black curly hair, round glasses, wears grey shirts, handy with mathematical problems.

I wish someone would dream about me some time :)

Y

Cause I want to hear people's peculiar stories about what they imagine me to be like...I've certainly been amused by the others :)

I think you must be TROUBLE with a CAPITAL T and therefore my kind of woman.

Oh dear, you've got me all wrong. I'm pretty bland.

WAHT R I LIEK.

Laid back. That's how I always think of you.

I don't. I think she's also TROUBLE with a CAPITAL T. Don't disappoint me ladies.

Great, now I have Hot Chip stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

that's what I think of you
it's all that I can do
I'D GO MAD
if it wasn't for you

I imagined estela to be tall, btw.

I imagine her to be a star, but I think I've told her that before.

moley's not too far off with his sasha vision. although he doesn't have the pouty expression you'd more associate with the likes of moore and cope

I don't see pouty for him, I see tired, friendly and maybe slightly stooped.

Are you tall or small estela?

I'm not sure how I imagine you Moley, I think I'm mostly intimidated, but I'm not quite sure why.

I don't see Sash as blondey as Thurston but. *shrug*

Hahah I AM SO TROUBLE. Ask Jim. He know what do.

i picture moley as the dungeonmaster, all leather and chains

xpost yes trayce is total trouble

i have dreamed about you kate, i dreamed that i met you and trayce, i was very shy in the dream.

moley, at the moment my hair colour is reminiscent of my parents' queen anne-style bedroom suite purchased in the 70s, sort of an awful dark mahogany with, in strong sunlight, an unpleasant hint of burgundy. i am trying not to think about it too much while i wait for it to wash out.
i am quite thin and pale and of average height (but some people think i'm tall because of being skinny). you are a bit wrong about the elizabethan love poetry, not that i have anything against it, but it doesn't loom large.
i am not a star, though i am quite old.

I mean come on, last night I went drinking with my boyfriend, his ex girlfriend, and my ex boyfriend. And it was hilarious actually.

It's just the name that does it. Estella/Estrella.

xpost

did you do it?

xpost

I wonder if estela is older than me? Somehow, I imagined slightly so but not too much so.

Wait, did who do what?

I went drinking with my boyfriend, his ex girlfriend, and my ex boyfriend.

Hahahaha

i am a few years older than you, trayce.

Recipe for trouble, surely. Like I said: TROUBLE with a CAPITAL T.

As for estela, I have got her so wrong, but, as my friend's Italian parents say, what you can do?

i'm glad you realised i was older, at times i've wondered if my immature posts might give a false impression.

I was thinking you were about 30.

How wrong was gaz though estela? I mean, small and Peruvian? Props for extra mentalism though.

it gave me such a vision.

Of a small Pervian?

Peruvian

Yes, me too. A sort of Peruvian Margaret Pomerantz.

ha!

i suspect gaz thinks i'm about 67.

mrs. pepperpot was who i thought of.

Yes, me too. A sort of Peruvian Margaret Pomerantz.

I just get her looking the same but in a straw hat and poncho banging on about how crap Lars Von Trier is.
