This is not a post about Big Brother. For the latest on Lefty Tim (BB), go read Ausculture Jess. Her latest BB posts are on song – a thing of wonder. Lefty Tim (potsmokin dude)’s secret twin, Lefty Tim (Road to Surfdom) shares the blogosphere love by hosting Tim Blair while the latter’s site is cactussed. This is all good – it can only be a step in the direction of a truly cross-ideological Blog Big Brother – we can trounce Logan (Greg) and Logan (David) with our own twin switcharoo.

Well I simply say that every RWDB blogger who snubs Tim Blair, and does not immediately cite Tim Dunlop’s generosity and magnanimity, is a filthy traitorous turncoat rat, and should be immediately purged from the Brotherhood of Right-Wing Bloggers.

Curious. Perhaps a Prince Albert is in play. They don’t strike me as real easy to remove at will. I could be wrong.

I dont know either, cept he used to go out with claire danes. I would go just to be polite, but that is me, the worlds worst hypothetical BB contestant.

Well, my friend said she’s ambivalent. But I’ve said I’m up for it. Going out with Claire Danes has to be in his favour. Hopefully it was the evil Claire Danes twin in Iggy Goes Down.

Depends whether you think you could listen to lyrics like – no way to let off steam, don’t bother milk and cream no way to let off stea-eem, and Iiiiiii want a TV embrace etc.
Personally I’m with Zoe. I don’t think he can sing. But some people love him.

My friend E just texted me to let me know that New Buffalo is supporting Ben Lee. That’s a deal clincher. She’s brilliant. Who gives a toss about the headline act!

Whereas Zoe is usually totally clueless when it comes to pop culture icons, she’s on the money with Ben Lee. I don’t think Australia has ever produced a more overrated pretentious twat then that ponce de leon.
I mean that, BTW. That’s not just hyperbole. I still cringe when I remember his “performance” on The Panel. Claire Danes sank to the level of mucus on the fungus that grows on pond scum in my estimation when she took up with that goober. My so-called life, indeed.
So, yeah, see him. It’ll be, like, fun. But in a bad way.

Zoe,
I am still gobsmacked that you could have made such a comparison. The hurt has passed, but incredulity remains.
It would be like stating that Colin “I’m not really Darcy, y’know” Firth looks like Megan Spencer, but without the sexy glasses and strange moles.

In Zoe’s defence, she has claimed that Roger Waters is a hottie. Can’t see it, personally.

Oh, no, not at all. My friend Scotty and his sister both strongly resemble their dad. He looks all rugged and is a bit of a babe. She looks like an Easter Island statue in a wig.

Well, slept 8 hours after bagging that crap movie review show, and Im still grumpy.
So here goes. Normally, in Post-Keating Australia, I wouldnt risk the Populist fatwa that the following rant will invoke. But fuck it, Ive had enough. Call me an elitist prat all you want. I cant believe people can physically watch that shite.
Every time Ive ever accidentally come across BB while surfing, there’s either been some bloody surf-moron saying “wot oi reckin, is, roight, she’s just spewin coz of wot x said …” OR, absolutely bugger-all is happening. Zip. Nada. Sweet f’n Football Association. Some guy scratching his arse in bed…. and a captive nation, holding their breath, wondering, “..will he fart?”

I know the bitter hatred of which Hermes speaks. Now, I’m normally the first to jump on a pop cultural bandwagon (I blogged the first Australian Idol back when I had a blog instead of just commenting on other people’s and I damn well enjoyed it) but god I hate BB. And I don’t get it. No need to try to convert me, folks, I’m just having a little vent.
Though I met Gretel Killeen once back when she was a brunette and found her genuinely funny, very charming and eloquent. Now she makes me feel kind of… icky, like if my mum decided to dye her hair blonde and started wearing too-tight clothes and garish make-up. Embarrassed on her behalf, I suppose.

It’s certainly a pity Gretel uses her talents for evil, these days.

Harken to the words of Pope Kimberella I.
She is wise and just that little bit naughty but since she puts the “grrr” in grrrl know that she is a Great Authority on the subject.
Ye foolish mortals! We are only on this planet for some 80 years each. Knowing that life should be lived to the full, why doth ye waste your precious hours watching that abomination that is call-ed “Bigbrother” when for as little as $9 a month you can have access to the wondrous glories of Nature and God that is presented on http://www.suicidegirls.com??!??!
Repent now!
The lord is merciful and so is Kimber the oneth. Repent now and forsake your lame voyeuristic ways of Big Brother and EMBRACE the One True Voyeurism that is SuicideGirls. It is the only path to follow. These chick redefine ‘yummy babe’ and ‘phroar!’ Turn now and see the light! Big Brother is a great big sweltering pile of weevil dung whereas Suicidegirls contains the full wonders and mysteries that the Lord worked hard to give to the earth!
“Ooh, someone went topless in the spa!”
This is as nothing to the wonders of Suicidegirls.
The lord giveth and he giveth corset piercings.
Thanks be to God.
Truely is the Lord great, and his holy vessel on earth, Kimberbebebrbebrbebrebrlyyella is one of the Best Women ever – the rest are found at Suicidegirls (oh and Canberra, of course, Zoe). The quality of mercy is not strained, it is pasteurised to kill the bugs and make it more pure. And there is nothing more pure….
oh you get the point.

Harry’s gone. He’s not coming back. It’s OK – he knew the risks.
He was just the kind of devil-may-care, smoke-me-a-kipper-I’ll-be-back-for-breakfast, fly-by-the-seat-of-his-worn-cargo-pants hell-raiser to mess with something he couldn’t handle.

“Harry, you once used to be so respectable at BP (alas).”
Yes, but I didn’t have to fight the forces of complete EVIL at BP because you never stooped so low, Chris.
BB is worse than RWDBs on heat.
“Harry can just call me Trinity from now on. ”
…And Fyodor can just call you, right?
All I was pointing out was this: the main reason people watch the late night BB is to get a look at boobs. Since these boobs only come as a box set contain hours of agonisingly shithouse dialogue and opinions of less worth than a Weimar mark I simply don’t see the point. The boobs aren’t even of particularly good quality in BB, whereas there are boobs a-plenty at Suicidegirls. An added bonus is that the girls don’t talk or reveal their grating voices to the humble viewer. It’s pluses all round.

I have returned Master. How do you like my new black plastic helmet?
I reckon I’m onto something here – bad taste, sure.
Looking at the video of Woods the Aussie hostage in Iraq with the shaved head and black eye and laboured breathing I couldn’t help but think that he looked like Darth Vader when Luke removes the helmet. There are plenty of conspiracies concerning Iraq at the moment, but is it too long a bow to draw the parallels between something made in Australia that then goes to America like the new Star Wars is. Woods is a product of Australia, is now a US resident and is now involved in an overblown marketing exercise gone wrong.
Hmmm. I reckon the bunch of crazies who have him are minions of one of the most dangerous men in the world: George Lucas.
We can only hope that Woods is released when ‘Revenge of the Sith’ is.

Very fetching, Harry. However, your wheeze is getting worse, bro: give up the fags, dude – those things will turn you into a cyborg possessed by the Dark Side…but in a bad way.
I liked your Dune theory better, incidentally, although I reckon SW would have had more “edge” if the rebels had pushed the envelope on suicide bombers, assassinations etc.
