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

damn you aol!

(x-post) We could call it Collingwood Mac

i used to take giant drags on a cigarette and sing on the out breath trying to get a gravelly voice like stevie, it would hurt quite a bit.

Get someone to blow coke up yer butt :)

lol

I often sound that rough and shitty after a night on the tiles (last night I smoked a bajillion cigarettes ugh).

i still miss smoking sometimes, i think i always will. i know it is bad for you but i think overall i was happier when i smoked, it calmed me.

No offence Trayce but you could host a kids' wildlife show with your voice.

"Welcome to Totally Wild! I'm here at Fritz Martin's Animal Kingdom! Okay Fritz, tell us about your kangaroos! Are they friendly? Can I touch them?"

"They are scared of goths."

"Okay then!"

the fruit bats probably wouldn't mind.

arh, I saw gaz at lunch. will have to tell him he is wrongified about estela when we fap proper next friday.

PS ed: FAP next Friday!

i hope my uncharacteristic revelations have not distressed the mongs.

Nope, it's all Coolasaurus Rex, dudette.

btw Trayce that was 100% joke, just commenting that your voice is up and dynamic :)

I like a dynamic voice.

Not sure if I'll be able to be back here again before tomorrow. GOOD LUCK ALL!

If Howard wins again, I'll be the guy running around Mayo lobbing Molotov cocktails through the windows of the McMansions.

Good afternoon and good luck, bro.

You're saying that as a joke, but if Howard wins there WILL be violence on the streets. The vibe is very different this time round.

In fact Michelle Grattan referred to it as a mass depression, I think.

hardcore.

ugh, losing, what a thought.

Here it is:

It would be fascinating if Howard pulled this election out of the fire: given what seems the strong national mood for change, the Government could be faced with a resentful, sullen electorate.

That Galaxy 52/48 poll was taken before BoganGate btw. And the other four polls released today/tomorrow point to a resounding Labor win, so don't forget that.

I'm just worried it won't make enough of a difference to some people.

This year I know loads of people who are incredibly anxious about this election. Last time, most people I knew either didn't care much or didn't like Latham. That alone speaks volumes.

Things really do appear to be very different this time (as has been borne out in the polling).

i think i have lost weight from leg jiggling.

And to prove how different, look at these:

Both graphs span the last election to now. LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE SRSLY.

You can see from that top graph how many polls have been conducted. Literally 100 since Rudd got in alone.

lol @ the longstanding and reputable galaxy poll

btw Trayce that was 100% joke, just commenting that your voice is up and dynamic :)

Hahahah, I don't think I've ever been described that way before! :D

Is that a polite way of saying I'm loud?

Cause I am, rly.

Hey how come in both those graphs the galaxy poll only kicks in this year?

Is that a polite way of saying I'm loud?

No no no no no ffs.

haitch: dunno

what did i ask??

Oh sorry

Trayce: dunno

That second graph in particular shows how incongruously far Galaxy is from all the others. Remember it's commissioned by Murdoch, whose bias I wouldn't trust with my unwanted excrement.

Also another soldier in Afghanistan has died. Good press for Howard one day before voting.

That's horrible :(

Yer, and it's the third/fourth in recent months. Things are really getting bad there.

I dunno if I've mentioned it before, but I guy I went to uni with is in the S4S, he got back from "over there" recently, and now he's got something like 12 months leave.

Utter nutcase this guy too.

s4s-sy

Okay I just got scared. FUCK.

I was doing so well too.

my cuticles are ragged.

Nothing would surprise me given that the number of ignorant bogans around seems to be growing exponentially.

Just remember that in the end, its not like this is going to give us cancer or rape our grandmothers.

at last, a voice of cheer!

Yeah but it's kind of just dawned on me how angry I'll be if Labor loses :|

Not that I'm being dismissive but while its important to hope for the right thing, I dont think its worth getting into the kind of fights I am *already* seeing from my friends who arfe being patronising cocks telling eveyrone "vote below the line or else, you ignorant asswipes, if you dont know how you are morans". Yeah thanks, friends.
