Blogging politics, culture, sociology and life from Brisvegas
As a public service for all those fascinated googlers, here’s the answer. I don’t know. But in the April 2005 issue of Rolling Stone, she had this to say:
Everyone is a bit bisexual… but not everyone admits it. Or not everyone has realised it yet.
That’s all. Nothing more to see here. Move on.

Who cares anyway? I want to know – is Fenella Kernebone a lesbian?
I do note that I agree with Missy on this one, but I think Freud said it first.
Except Intruder Blonde from BB, I don’t want to admit her to any club that I’m a member of. I actually felt for Dean tonight!
I’m liking Dean more since he’s the cover boy for a brisvegas gay rag.
I actually just watched that BB episode tonight (we’re a bit behind over here in WA) and what’s with the dummies? And the dancing? And that blonde girl with too much fake tan? It’s so… so… horrible. I feel kind of depressed and lonely after watching it. IS this the desired effect?
Kate, to immediately cheer yourself up, visit Ausculture Jess for her take. The whole point of the show is to inspire gossip, make phone companies rich because everyone texts all their friends during episodes, and to start discussion on blogs. The blonde girl is Intruder #1 that Kim’s talking about – Jess has all the good oil on the spokesmodel for fake tan.
It’s the po/mo equivalent of dissing your neighbour or the happily eccentric folk in Seachangeville where everyone knows everyone else’s name.
Oh, and from my past experience, BB gossip is a great way to fast forward that flirtation with a special someone into relationship territory (and then to produce relationship anxiety as the final ep approaches!)…
i think missy higgins is a LESBIAN i h8 her she cant even sing
All my friends at school think she is a lesbian we want 2 know cause we bet about it (we bet in slices) every1 in my grade finks she iz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if u listen 2 her song special tune listen 2 the lyrics closley!!!!!!!!
we have this thing about is missy higgins a lezo i rekon dhe is bubi xxxxxx
Sorry, Haylee, can’t help you there. No new hot goss here.
…reaching a new demographic Mark?
You’re so f*cked Lefty Elitist. You’re discriminating on the basis of age and literacy, and I think you’re a latent chauvinist at that. Why, you’re casting aspersions on the future of our nation, the Missy-Higgins-sexuality-questioning-and-then-despising YOUTH.
…
So where’s that gravatar of yours? Have you decided between an image of Pajero (heh) car keys and a Greens how-to-vote card?
I am inclined to agree with Haylee that Missy Higgins is vastly overrated as a singer.
well at least I’m out of the closet Liam ;0
Alas, been to busy for my gravatar project – but believe me, its top of my list (just as soon as I’ve ragged on some more semi-literate dyke-hating scrubbers from East Bogan High). I like the Pajero keys idea – but am leaning towards a chardonnay glass / french clock ensemble piece….
Pinot is the new chardonnay, Lefty E.
<chaser>These People Vote!</chaser>
Does anyone else think that Ms. Higgins looks rather like Lyndie England? OK, then.
Im thinking of leading a movement back to Rose, Mark. Tres Fabian.
Dunno, Saint, lets get her to leash someone nude and see. Volunteers? Perhaps Tim Rogers would me the man fo the job.
I don’t know who Missy Higgins is but as for lesbianism, I highly recommend that connoisseurs of fine cinema should rent the 1983 film The Hunger starring David Bowie, Susan Sarandon and Catherine Deneuve. It’s not every vampire film where you get to see Susan Sarandon get it on with Catherine Deneuve.
Soundtrack is good too! It’s all round an excellent film.
on queer vampire fiction.

Throw off your faux-suburbanism, refine your pursuits, you have nothing to lose but your nation!
I want one of those. A shirt like that’ll show off my wimpy left-wing lack of upper-body strength.
Right, where’s that credit card?
For my amputee pride moments, I recommend this t-shirt.
Nice, Kim. I like to see myself as participating in a Pride Movement too.
Yes, bugger you, Howard battlers, you self-negating bunch of masochists, hear Lefty Elitist proudly raise his wine glass and quote our national bard, Henry Lawson.
Now salute this … or Ill have you reported as un-Orstrayan
They work scab, and vote Tory,
they are truly the deserving poor.
and another pithy line, still relevant 100 years on
“I’m in favour of the war, and of half-a-dozen more!”
Hmmm, I can do lefty elitist pride, single leg amputee pride, American citizen pride (doesn’t come in handy that much these days), Sephardic Jewish ancestry pride, lesbian identified bisexual pride, and no doubt a few others. Ain’t identity grand?
I’ve told you about my historian mate’s karaoke song, though, haven’t I Kim?
And I think I’ve mentioned I’m actually pretty anti-identity politics, Liam. Still, useful to have a number of available identities.
Good tune!
As a lot of Chinese diplomats are currently discovering right now, I imagine.
Dont know Kim. Identity is largely voluntarist for a white, male, middle class, lefty elitist like me. Not even particularly gay. Hopeless!
But that’s what makes you an elite, Lefty E!
Off to Hammer the Horror – c ya!
Indeed Kim, out and proud. Now, I have a date with Proust in my Boudoir.
But DO give me a yell if anyone farts or scratches their a*se live on BB.
Yeah, her singing’s alright. I think she’s a pretty good lyricist – definately above average.
But the best thing about is that she’s not bloody Delta, and she’s taking all the air time devoted to ‘chick with piano’.
Good work I say.
So Josh Cunningham isn’t the real reason she hangs out with The Waifs. . .
Lefty Elitist. I don’t know whether you’re still around of if you’ve gone off to the Megalong Valley for a long long weekend away. Here’s a suggested gravatar image, 80px2 should you want it:

hehe. Je suis le elite?
Mais non. “L’etat” c’etait le Roi Soleil, apr√®s Bonaparte. La monarchie c’est simplement ‘Unrepresentative Swill’.
Avant Bonaparte, M .Tête de Patate.
Before, after, whatever. It’s all a bunch of privileged ruling-class historical constructs embedded in language anyway.
I’ll stick to Spanish.
I am France, and France is me!
Now, die for me.. err, I mean France.
i don’t care if she’s gay…maybe it’d be good, it could inspire people if she was forward about it, people would accept it
I dont really like missy higgins, i think that she is sort of doing a repeat of what T.a.T.u did, and i hated that because it was stupid. So basically I think Missy Higgins is a phony.
I’m starting to feel like I want to share some of the Missy Higgins love.
Missy Higgins is excellent. Her ‘Sound of White’ CD is one of the best australian albums in years. She is a very talanted singer/songwriter and a great live performer. I first heard her at the Tsumai ‘wave aid’ concert in Sydney earlier this year and am now a dedicated fan (despite being a 45 year old who grew up in the era of hard rock and likes his music loud).
To those sad individuals out there who are attacking her you are ‘not worth pissing on’ in my opinion. Go get a life!
can someone find this out IS MISSY HIGGINS A LESBIAN?? i am currently sitting in history on the computer and i am overly board.. plese
She’s bi.
Chill.
I hope she is bi, I would let her have it! HOT
I don’t care. But I do like her hair.
Sarah Blasko is much cooler than Missy Higgins. And she looks like my friend E.
It’s better to look like Sarah Blasko than to resemble Popper, on the whole.
Pardon my observation, but the title of this postis the most irrelvant question I’ve ever seen.
Right on a par with “what shape is yellow?”
Banana-shaped
Is Sarah Blasko lesbian?
I don’t know, Kim. Perhaps we could ask her when she plays Brisvegas next month.
In other music news, the Bowery has some excellent lounge organ jazz with the Hammond Trio on Wednesday nights. And I think the fillin Friday night DJ, Jane Grigg, is someone I went to uni with. (Brisvegas half a degree of separation syndrome predicts that she is).
Kewl!
Cripes…. Did Sarah Blasko just catch the last bus in from Babe City or wot? Any good musically?
Very good musically!
And she is definitely the musical hotness.
Just visiting. What’s the big deal? Umm Missy Higgins ….is a young woman who either enjoys intimacy with men or women or both…so what?
omg..missy higgins rocks..i love her..she is so not a lesbian!!
WTF? Missy Higgins is lesbian?!!! No way!
Missy is Bi…thats 100% true guys ok..shes awesome, get off the topic..
Brash Koala ,
Well think about it she’s got short hair. Maybe she’s into sport too?
She probably plays cricket and listens to Indigo Girls.
Your headline alone gave me imagery that only a moment’s privacy can remove.
I’m bisexual. Just saying… Who wants to get nekkid?
Ha! Kim, Homer could learn something about subtlety and puns!
Ok, Ill bite after all this hoo-ha:
Who’s Missy Higgins?
She’s a singer, Lefty E. Pretty over-rated in my view, folksy pop, discovered by JJJ, now topping charts everywhere etc.
thanks Kim… My apologies, I do know about Ms. Missy…. Just taking out my elitist aesthete persona out for a stroll by feigning ignorance of popular phenomena again.
Tedious of me, I know, but its be so long since I got to not watch BB.
You can not watch “Inside Idol” tonight Lefty. I’ll join you.
Excellent Zoe, you’re on. Thats’s one of fave avoids.
Missy Higgins has the most annoying voice I have ever heard. Her songwriting is poor, as are her lyrics. She is way too overrated. It seems that all it takes for a female singer to be ‘talented’ nowadays is to have a boy’s haircut and belt out a load of contrived nonsense while strumming a few simple guitar chords. All her songs sound the same…can this girl only write in a major key? She reeks of Dawson’s Creek.
“She reeks of Dawson‚Äôs Creek.”
Sheesh. You say that like it’s a bad thing. Besides, sexual ambiguity is apparently the new hotness. Still don’t know if Sarah Blasko is lesbian, however.
“all it takes for a female singer to be ‘talented‚Äô nowadays is to have a boy‚Äôs haircut and belt out a load of contrived nonsense”
Sure ILDM, you just don’t like her cause she’s a lesbian, or bisexual or something. They wouldn’t player her on the radio so much if she wasn’t good!
“They wouldn‚Äôt player her on the radio so much if she wasn‚Äôt good!”
Au contraire, boule de neige. They play Ben Lee on the radio, and that’s the way I don’t like it, ‘cos he sure isn’t good.
Arrgh, you can keep all your Huggi Blasko alt.country “n’ moan chickadees.
Me, I’m quite happy with the classics.

47 years old and still with far more va-va-voom than all these Missy hussies.
Just ‘cos you don’t like Ben Lee M5, doesn’t mean he’s not good. That’s just your opinion, and they play him and Missy on jjj so its not like its just commercial stations. I think you are all jealous because they are young an v. talented.
Well, Bony, you’re right about the jealousy of youth. The talent bit is hard to stomach. WTF is the sound of white, anyway? Something like this?
Oh, yeah, what Nabsy said. Bring it on, Babushka.
OMG I can’t believe you just said that. Missy Higgens is the best not-very-talented singer songwriter since Joni Mitchell!!!!
You guys r juz jealous becuz you don’t get all the hottt girl on girl action like Missy duz!
(Somebody kill this thread now.)
There’s definitely an air of “oh, our crap pop idols were deeper than yours man” about some of these discussions.
Higgins is no Dylan (hat tip CS et al) but she is very good at what she does and holds herself out as nothing more, as far as I can see. Ben Lee struggles, and labours under FIGJAM syndrome to excess, but anyone who’s dated, then lost, Clare Danes deserves some support.
Has Missy Higgins dated Clare Danes? I’m jealous!
Whatever you think about Missy Higgins, least she does all of us a global service by getting fucking Delta Goodrem out of the spotlight!
That is soooooooooooooo true, Elizajoey!
i think missy higgins is a lesbian and a lipsniger at that bye
WTF? R u sre she is a lipsniger?! No waaay!!!
Actually, I now can’t stop thinking about fucking Delta Goodrem. Thanks, kids.
/sniggers
What’s wrong with a tallented young girl being a lipsniger! Leave missy alone and enjoy the music cya!
Kim,
Fenella Kernebone is a lesbo. A friend who used to work for ABC confirmed it. Not only that, i saw her at the last sydney film festival afterparty all dressed up in a femme tux – not many breeders would do that!
Why.
Does.
This.
Thread,
Not.
Die?!
Maybe Missy Higgins is a zombie.
WTF is is a lipsniger? Hmm google doesn’t bring it up, except for here, which must means that some idiot brought up the word and the rest of you followed.
FFS …
Harry, imagine what will happen to the slumbering corpse of this thread when stimulated by Aria voodoo!
okay, I’ve left this for long enough
shouldn’t the question be – “can missy higgins sing?”
This post seems to have lasted the distance.
If you are that interested, why don’t you just ask?
Missy Higgins is a good singer.
These days you can fall in love with whatever consenting adult you want to and not define yourself by a label.
Hers, your post is offensive to the lipsniger community. You need some sensitivity training.
Lipsnigers r da bomb!!
Thanks, blahblah for that info – next question – can anyone suggest a way of letting Fenella know I think she’s the filmy hotness and would like to hook up – I mean, without representing me as a crazed stalker?
You could make a film, Kim, and enter it into Tropfest…
Of course, that’s taking a long-term view.
“You could make a film, Kim, and enter it into Tropfest”
That’s genius!
“without representing me as a crazed stalker?”
Represent yourself as the ultimate fish-out-of-water: it’s such a strong meme to play to filmwise, and allows you to be infinitely interesting that people will simply be falling over themselves to buy you drinks in the hobnob tent. _then_ let the crazed stalker out in triumph.
I thought this years finalists weren’t a patch on last years.
Arrr, be Missy Higgins a pirate, yo-ho-ho and chest full o’ booty?
Thanks, Kate and Harry!
Perhaps I could play a pirate – if I can get a wooden leg from somewhere!
Frankly it’s beneath my dignity to indulge in displays of cod slang simply because some scurvy drivelswigger decreed today be the day for such blog banyanin’.
Oh OK then, since you asked for it. The final lines of the first grown up book (ie: “no pictures”) I read (and still have the original weatherbeaten clothbound copy) – “Treasure Island”.
“The bar silver and the arms still lie, for all that I know, where Flint buried them; and certainly they shall lie there for me. Oxen and wain-ropes would not bring me back again to that accursed island; and the worst dreams that ever I have are when I hear the surf booming about its coasts, or start upright in bed, with the sharp voice of Captain Flint still ringing in my ears: ‘Pieces of eight! pieces of eight!‚Äô”
And I first read that while listening to the surf booming out on the reefs. Arrgh!
Oh yeah, Missy Higgins? Never heard her. And from what I’ve heard of her, I have no desire to hear her.
“Your comment is awaiting moderation.”
Oh for fuck’s sake! All I did was quote a little RL Stevenson. There’s a blog template engineer out there that could use a little keelhaulin’.
Oh right?. OK.
Incidentally the funniest pirate book I’ve read is George MacDonald (“Flashman” & the screenplays for Dick Lester’s Musketeer fillums) Frazer’s “The Pyrates”. Do yerself a favour, etc.
I suspect Elliott & Rossio borrowed from it for “Pirates of The Carribean” far more than they could consciously admit.
Speaking of lesbian lipsnigers, did anyone ever read ‘Coral Island’ as a wee Pirate? I think it were me fav’rit, n’aaaar.
“…did anyone ever read ‘Coral Island‚Äô as a wee Pirate?”
No.
Why?
Good book. Of the treasure island variety, but better IMH ex-O as a wee pirate. cant remember the author. Maybe Ill google.
Given your fondness for Tim Powers, Cap’n Nabsy, I’m nore than a little surprised you haven’t mentioned his voodoo pirate novel, “On Stranger Tides”. Cap’n Teach was a bad man in many ways…
Harry, you scurvy seadog, do you remember this thread? Absolument bizarre, n’est-ce pas?
I think we need to make the “Kimberella, Queen of the Pyrates” movie right fecking NOW. You can write the screenplay and Nabsy should direct. Her Hotnessness will play herself, natch, and we’ll persuade Haiku Hoges to be her cabin boy, or somesuch. I’ll do something unproductive like produce, and get to collect the Troppo award off La Kernebone for me trouble.
Thats it – by RM Ballantyne. The boys own novel that inspired Lord of the Flies. Fantastic.
How could I not do this.
I ran “Smoke on The Water” through a Pirate translator.
” Aye, we all came out t’ montreux On the lake gene’a shoreline T’ make records with a mobile.
We didn’t have much time, Frank zappa and the mothers ‘o’ War at the best place around.
But some daft with a flare gun burned the place t’ the ground.
Smoke on the water, pillage for what li’l booty thar may be in the sky. They burned down the gamblin’ house. It died with an awful sound.
Funky claude was runnin’ in and out. Pullin’ kids out the ground. When all was o’er ,We had t’ find another place. but swiss time was runnin’ ou, iIt seemed that we would lose the race.
Smoke on the water, maroon on the next patch o’ desolate hell we see’ in the sky.
We ended up at the grand hotel It was empty cold and bare, but with the rollin’ truck stones thin’ just outside.
Makin’ our music thar, with a few red lights and a few old beds, ee make a place t’ sweat No matter what we get out o’ this I know we’ll ne’er forget Smoke on the water, keelhaul at noon in the sky,
A pence for an old man o’de sea?”
Arrrgh!!?!?!
I can see your producer values now, Fyodor. Is the order of the day to be “Never put your own money into a show”?
…
Cabin boy nothing. I demand a decent part as either a second-rate villain or victim. Either way, I want the chance for decent overacting, to do a bit of fencing and get a good long death scream.
Oh yes, “On Stranger Tides” is a funky rum buckler of a book.
Elliot & Russio could not have come up with the underwater zombie pirate marching scene in PiraCarib without absorbing Tim Powers, RL Stevenson and Jacques Tourneur – directly or/and through a funky Jungingly psychic story telling fog.
I’m so drunk, I forgot to misspell “Tourner”.
And now I’m seriously shickered and listening to “Deep Purple: The A and B Sides.”
And listenin’ to their “Hush” or “Emaretta” is like taking a classic old Bentley Three Litre out for a spin.
An intriguing suggestion indeed, Fyodor, for Kim the Movie. Remember though that my prime motivation is to enchant Fenella.
Anyway, I’ll email my screen test to the production team.
Fuckn leave missy alone. She’s the best singer in the world. she’s gone thru sum tough shit and all u guys do is just accuse her of being a bi and a lesso. Who gives a fuck if she is. it doesnt change who she is and she doesnt lip sing, how do u think she culd of gotten and a+ for that song all for believing in music if she lip sung. ur just soo unhappy with ur own lives u hav to pick on ppl who truely r beautiful.
That heartful plea has made me see the error of my ways Jess. From now on I shall only pick on people less beautiful than myself.
So how about that Kate Moss hey? Coin operated coke machine or what? One good bang and it’s free.
Cop that, Nabs.
All this talk of islands brings to mind terrible 60′3 war romance “The Girls of Pleasure Island”. Sounds like a cheap porn flick, but was incredibly sappy boys meet girls in war-torn Pacific. Didn’t stop me watching it about 20 times on boring Saturday afternoons, though.
Don’t watch it again, Tony. My old housemates and I decided to watch our favourite flicks from our teenhood again, together. Big mistake.
No quantity of drugs can assist you through a tender, heartfelt mid 80’s coming out flick. I wouldn’t just say that either.
And Kim, I saw the screen test when I got back from holidays. I found it very persuasive.
The loss of one’s youth
It’s like The Breakfast Club, but
seen years down the track.
Youth? not ‘lost’, just ‘gone before’.
(I just HAD TO comment on a post that has been pulsing since June)
As the number one hit on google for the question, I would have expected a better answer as of now.
I still enjoy “Uncle Buck”. And I saw “Hannibal Brooks” the other day for the first time in years, and it was better than I remember it. I think maybe Ollie Reed improves with age.
And what about this one – “The Verdict” still holds it’s own, but “Absence of Malice” seems very dated. As does “Norma Rae”. So it must be Sally Field.
Tony – I always thought Paul Newman’s closing speech to the jury in “The Verdict” was excellent – haven’t seen the film for years though…
It is. But I’m a sucker for big set-piece speeches. Al Pacino gets me every time – that one in “Scent of a Woman” is a blinder, and there’s beauties in “The Insider”, “Serpico” and “Dog Day Afternoon” as well. It’s that over-the-top, in-your-face angry man thang.
I just Googled “Scent of a Woman”, and the Oliver Stone wrote the script! Who’d a thunk it?
Ooops – no he didn’t (thought that sounded unlikely). More credible link says Bo Goldman.
I still enjoy Uncle Fuck – one of John Hughes’ better movies. The best being, of course, “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”. Second best was “Career Opportunities”, solely because of Jennifer Connelly riding that rocking horse.
Best Al Pacino “small-angry-man-shouting-a-lot” tick, sorry, performance? Heat. Observe:
Alan Marciano: Oh man…Why’d I get mixed up with that bitch?
Vincent Hanna [AP]: Cause she’s got a great ass and you got your head all the way up it! Ferocious, aren’t I? When I think of asses…a woman’s ass…something comes out of me.
Pacino is my favourite current actor and Michael Mann my fave director after Scorsese. Every second of Heat just bristles. He shouts alot less than people think.
Ahem, M. Fyodor. T’was Hank Azaria bugging out at Al’s “head up her ass” eye bugging in that scene from “Heat”. I reckon though the best eye acting in that flick was Ashley Judd on the balcony, warning off Val.
One of the most interesting things about Michael Mann is that he’s not related to Anthony Mann. You’d almost swear they were son and dad given how how so many of both their films are actors’ gyms, set in stark yet emotionally jaggered landscapes.
And Mike Mann does set up beautiful and elegically crisp cinematic and dramatic setpieces for male divas. Like I’m no fan of Tom Cruise, but he was brillant in Mann’s hands in “Collateral”. Let’s face it. “Heat” was made, and we all watched it, for the Pacino/De Niro sitdown. And it was good. Although I still think his best onscreen partnership was with John Goodman in “Sea Of Love”.
Mind you Ellen Barkin stole the flick from both of ‘em. What’s she up to now? She was great. Like Jodie Foster but with much more gumption and a great crooked little sneer. Imagine the Travis McGee books flipped for the screen with her as the lead.
Time to get out Jim McBride’s “The Big Easy” again. A sweaty sexy funky film noir set in N’awlins with Ellen Barkin, Dennis Quaid and John Goodman. Do yerself a favour, etc. “And if that don’t work, I piss on ‘em instead.”
Oi M. Fyodor, t’was actually Hank Azaria bugging his eyes at Al in the “head up your ass” scene in “Heat”. Which let’s face it, basically happened ‘cos everyone wanted to see a Pacino/De Niro face off. Which it delivered in spades as part of one the top ten crime movies ever made.
Actually the most interesting thing about Michael Mann is that he’s not related to Anthony Mann. They are so similar, creating great elegaic setpieces for male divas in crisp yet elegant dramatic setpieces. I mean I have little time for Tom Crusie but he was great in the Mann’s hands in “Collateral”.
Love to see Michael Mann film a Travis McGee book with Ellen Barkin in the lead. She was like a much more visceral Jodie Foster, and with one of the best screen sneers ever.
Yes, sorry, forgot “Heat”. It’s not my favorite film, but, strangely, there are more people I know that would list it as their favorite than any other single movie.
Fyodor,
don’t remember seeing Uncle Fuck, but perhaps the censor’s rating might have been a bit high for me to get in.
Hopefully this thread can keep on going and going …
Quite right, M. Nabakov. I think it might have been funnier if Hank Azaria had played the scene as Mo Szyslak, complete with rusty knife. I’d back Mo in a shiv fight against Pacino anyday. Hoo-Ah!
Agree on Collateral – the Cruiser’s best performance, IMO.
Is Nabakov lesbian?
Hoo-ah! Now yer talking, Kim.
Uncle Buck was (is!) an excellent movie.
“Is Nabakov lesbian?”
‘Does he have a better voice?’ would be more important to ask.
I understand he looks better in fishnets than Missy, and knows how to accesorise with shrunken heads and brandy balloons, so he’s ahead by 3 so far.
“Is Nabakov lesbian?”
Only the lavender bits are. The rest of me is a grubby schoolboy trapped in a gentleman’s carcass.
Which bits are lavender, Nabs?
The lavender scent
of Nabakov’s purple bits!
Kim gets raunchy.
(Repeat, with feeling:
However silly the lines
This thread must not die!)
Puzzling new evidence.
And more:
Is Shelby Lynne a lesbian now too??????
…but is she a lipsniger?
Missy Higgins is definitely a lipsniger.
Are scars lesbian?
Hope not – I’ll need a lot of cosmetic surgery if they are.
Most disappointed with the spectrum interview in the SMH with Missy. While they asked the obvious question, which woudln’t answer, they failed to get tough and get to the bottom of whether she is a lipsniger or not.
Ah, but Steve, if she had said in the SMH that she _was_ a lipsniger then it would the first of a leftist conspiracy to force decent hard-working Australian’s to accept, nay countenance, lipsnigering!!
Well given the well known Fairfax leftist agenda that’s exactly the sort of thing I thought they’d ask. I’m still confident she is a lipsniger.
[In a Terry Palin voice]
Only a true lipsniger denies that they are a lipsniger!
Hi im missy higgins,
you might remeber me from such songs as “scar” and “special Two”. I won five arias last night- yay go me- but i clearly drank too much champaign and my designer forgot to tell me my dress came from his daughters toy box.
Anyway yes i am a lesbian. i love girls. i love all of you in fact. Now leave me alone get the hell over it and listen to my f***king music.
Thanks
Missy xoxoxo
He also forgot to tell you to stay away from roving lifeguards. Today’s Australian has truly damning proof that you are, in fact, Hoffersexual.
The girl is clearly a very smart young pup. By avoiding the topic of her sexuality and remaining generally ambiguous in her lyrics she gains the insatiable lust of not only men but scores of wishful women as well. It’s the ultimate power trip.
Congrats on the ARIA wins, by the way. She is truly a deserving talent.
Missy Higgins is the hottest milf ever and her music is awesome to
A lesbian, a lipsniger and a milf! Missy like so rocks!
Lauren, unless “milf” has some *other* meaning I’m not aware of, I’m fairly sure she doesn’t qualify on the “m” part. (Hmmm. using metaphoris to avoid the word “mother”. Am I Huxley or what?)
Not much point to considering the “ilf” bit as I’m pretty damned unlikely to ever get the chance…
What is it with you people?!
For the last time: Missy Higgins is NOT Lebanese!
Harry, How can you be sure. Has she ever denied it?
Are these the qualities exhibited by a lipsniger ?
The qualities exhibited by a lipsniger are to celebrate one’s success at the Arias with the Hasselhof. Damnation to the Hasselhof!
Is Missy Higgins Lithuanian?
From antoher thread:
“Can’t we kill this thread? I have nightmares about it. It’s like the Midnight Hunt, riding you down til dawn.”
From another thread:
“Can’t we kill this thread? I have nightmares about it. It’s like the Midnight Hunt, riding you down til dawn.”
Rob, with that double comment, I hereby accuse you of being a lipsniger!
kim, Doh…my bad
How do we know she’s actually a woman? I mean the whole “Missy” thing might be a blind. I have another theory that she’s the artist formerly known as an obscure symbol formerly known as Prince. In fact, I have several other theories….
Tony, you may be onto something. Of course, as L Word devotees know, if Missy proved to be a man, she could still be a lesbian (-identified man).
“Has she ever denied it?”
Good point, Mr Edney.
However, she has never said “Everyone is a bit Lebanese… but not everyone admits it. Or not everyone has realised it yet.”
I think the question we have to ask ourselves is: Am I in touch with my inner Lebanese [or Lithuanian]?
“I hereby accuse you of being a lipsniger! ”
But, Kim, you will note that Rob double posted to correct his spelling. This is certainly not the action of a lipsniger. I think you should withdraw your accusation and apologise to Rob at once.
Under these newly proposed laws _anyone_ will be able to accuse another of being a lipsniger. And that simply won’t stand!
Harry, all that may make very much sense. But is Missy Higgins a Latvian?
Judging by the quote, and by the lyrics of Scar, I think she’s bisexual. (which makes me kinda happy seeing as I have the hots for her haha)
As for saying she ‘can’t sing’…. have you even listened to her album? Or seen her live? Because that’s blatantly untrue.
Overrated? I don’t think so. She’s not overhyped like some other artists I know, and her live performances are unforgettable.
Missy Higgins is bisexual? WTF?!!!
Of course her singing sucks – she’s a lipsniger.
saikogrrl – I’m bisexual but not a lipsniger! Wanna make some music? Unforgettable…
Robert:
do you mean a lipsyncer? because, I hate to tell you this but that’s a lie. She actually sings her songs at live performances, I’ve seen her, as opposed to miming like Spice Girls.
Sorry to burst your little bubble.
saikoggrl – you seem like a nice person so I’ll let you in on something – the post and most of the comments are a pisstake. However, Missy Higgins is still crap.
Saikogrrrrrrrrrl,
Try reading the previous 173 comments before making an ass of yourself.
Oh, and what Kim said about being a nice person ‘n shit. Have a nice day.
Hmm, Fyodor, I was hoping saikogrrl would take my comment as an invitation to flirt.
Oh well, it’s 10.45pm in LA. I might go out and find a grrl who’s interested in taking my ass for herself.
The night is young in El Lay!
180! Good darts, good darts…
I just watched the “Wiggles meet Steve Irwin” movie, and I don’t care how clean cut they all are, someone in team is taking far too many drugs.
I’d say “Be careful out there, Kim”, but it’s probably too late already.
2.36am Safe, sound, and satisfied, thanks, Tony!
Did you have sex with a lipsniger, Kim?
She did sniger my lips, Mark!
Onya, Kim!
Tony, could it be Steve Irwin? He’s always come across as manic!
“2.36am Safe, sound, and satisfied, thanks, Tony!”
By that early hour? I don’t think you’re really getting the most out of LA after dark here girlfriend.
That’s when they go out in Buenos Aires! (Im not exaggerating)
Boy, was I one tired muchacho Australiano in Argentina.
November the first
the thread that stops a nation
Is Missy a dyke?
For the love of God, I have just read all 6000 posts on this thread… and now I HAVE to know… I must know…
Look, I dont care if MH is rugmuncher or not but..
YOU HAVE TO TELL ME….
WFT is a lipsniger???
wons: a lipsniger is a short-haired, kinda cutish mammal from the family Dykkophalis Overratus. To quote David Attenboroush (one of the few people ever to witness a lipsniger in its natural enivronment) “… its mating calls are plaintive but kinda dull ballady numbers that are ok, but you wouldn’t write home about”. It is particularly dangerous when invited to awards nights and may jump and attack ex-Baywatch stars without any notice.
Also an acronym for li-XXXX THIS POST HAS BEEN CENSORED FOR BRINGING OUR SOVEREIGN HER HIGHNESS QUEEN MISSY INTO DISREPUTE XXXX-
Now, wons – our Leino has just answered your question, very thoroughly I might add (I’m impressed, L – you’ve really got hold of this issue). So now you’ve got to answer one for me:
What possessed you to read this whole comment string? Even I haven’t done that.
Probably had something due.
This comments thread has everything, weak in-jokes, gullible MH fans, regulars posting feebly under fake names, real lesbian hotness, and most of all a completely new word defined.
Well Tony, to be honest it started off as a facination to see if MH was or was not (regardless of the fact that what ever she is, is really none of my business) gay (or even happy).
But then like a bad horror movie I found I could not turn away. Alarm bells were ringing in my head … then I realised it was the phone. But I could not answer it, I had to keep reading. I was hooked! Sucked into the oblivion of five months of….
Well to be truthful, I was bored shirtless.
Thanks Leino, I now wonder if a lipsniger is a distant cousin of the lighter haired “Dykkophalis:Crappus Singularis” that was Sophie B Hawkins of the early 90’s?
Sophie B Hawkins is definitely a lipsniger.
Has this thread mentioned Popper?
haiku,
Yes, about 4 months ago, but its getting close to a double Hayek.
And more takers for a “suggestion box” on what to tag a 150 or 200?
Wasn’t 150 a Simone De Beauvoir?
Indeed it was/is.
Then why not make 200 a Missy Higgins?
Well, you just missed it, Mark. You could just make it “Higgins”, which would allow references to “My Fair Lady” (can’t be a bad thing), and also (according to Google) an Australian manufacturer of household insulation. Terrific.
When did Simone get a guernsey? Is that old hat?
People say I look like Missy Higgins does that mean I’m a lesbian too?
Depends, Cathy.
Done any lipsniging lately? Or perhaps you’ve had your lips sniggered?
There’s a certain snigger of the lips which is often a giveway.
Um, wow. I just read this whole thread and I think I’m gonna go blind.
I have a question:
Is Fiona Apple a lesbian?
I’m pretty sure she’s not a lipsniger but she is definitely the hotness.
With a fruity name
How can Fiona Apple
be anything but?
Seriously, the
hotness. A bit skinny though.
Least, that’s what I think.
Ofcourse missy higgins is a lesbian,
Heeelllooo she eats lentil pies and has short hair,
everybody knows shes a lesbian come on, its old now we all know
she likes girls its obvious she is a DYKE!
I can see Natalya you’ll fit in just fine here.
In fact you’ll have a ball.
And two of ‘em if yer lucky.
Geez, I have short hair and nearly ate a lentil pie once.
Was that a close call or what!
I thought I’d draw people’s attention to an anomaly in this thread. It has attracted fifteen (15) comments from Fyodor and his sock puppets, yet not one response from Jack Strocchi, despite the obvious relevance of the subject matter to Jack’s Decline Of The Wets thesis.
Decline of the Hets thesis, you mean?
A menage a trois
Missy, Strocchi, Fyodor
I’d like to see that!
Be careful what you wish for
Or what was inside you might end up
Outside
Does Jackerstrocchi
Have the necessary bits?
He’s a comment bot!
I would argue that
Bot lovin’ is a bit off.
I concur with Jason.
I would love it if she was. I mean,anyone gay in this country,let alone a lesbian,wh achieves such status as that deserves excellent recognition for their acheivments.What a great gay and lesbian ambassador she would be.
I think she should team up with Thorpey in that role, Carrie!
are you telling me that Thorpie’s gay ????!!!!!
babe in the woods, I hear Thorpey sued a Melbourne artist for putting up a poster that said Thorpey = Gay!
I have found this to be a great conversation starter at parties and other social gatherings where you don’t know too many people.
A good conversation starter for occasional visitors to blogs where they don’t know too many people?
So, when we get to 250 comments, what is that?
You’ll note I said “when”, not “if”
We’ve had a Popper, a Hayek, a de Beauvoir and a Higgins.
How about a “Ratzinger”? Or a Thorpey?
BTW, are there any rumours about Ratzinger and Thorpey? Should we start some?
hmmmmmmm….sitting here hoping that Shelby Lynne is a Lesbian…..*g*
She’s the total essence of hotness…
“So, when we get to 250 comments, what is that?”
Heimlich.
What we do is we grab the original author of this thread and strike him repeatedly between the shoulder blades whilst holding him in a head-down position.
On Thropey: last time I spoke to the magical Dwarves of Apocrypha I heard that if Thorpey came out he’d lose buttloads of endorsement money because no upstanding Japanese businessman wants to buy a watch worn by a homsexual. So, essentially, he’s being paid to not be gay.
I hereby volunteer to be paid not to be gay. For $50 a day I shall exclusively pursue women. Well, the best employment is a hobby that pays, right?
I do believe that someone’s secretly got the hots for you Liam but is too shy and mixed up to confess to it in public. Consider your beret well tugged at recess by a bashful, blushing and cutely surly little masher.
Nothing like a bit of impish rough trade when you’re in the mood after working back late. Do you have eftpos, gayhater?
And keep going chaps, and chapesses, – we’ll haul this thread over the 300 mark eventually.
OMG GAYHATER U HAT GAYS THAT IS SO GAY OMG U LEZZO!!!
A tuck of the forelock
Turns into a tug at the foreskin
God save the Queen
I think I’ve missed something entirely. Who or what is ‘gayhater’?
…
This thread won’t satisfy me
‘Till it reaches three hundred and three.
G.B.L.T.Q. lists
And lipsnigerists
Make a damn fine prolonged repartee.
Limerick Liam!
What have you done with our
comrade Haiku Hogan?
Oh c’mon Mark and Robert, put Gayhater’s comment back. The funnies following it don’t work without the original text. Plus, in years to come he can google it and realise what an utter twat he was.
Nabs, let’s just say that the comment was completely out of order – so I deleted it and it’s gone to the graveyards of the ether. The comment lived up to the commenter’s moniker.
Three hundred is gonna be easy, the problem is staying on topic…
Mark, Kim – I had a mate who has a mate who met a bloke at the pub who went to the Australian Institute of Sport – and while he was there he had to go to a seminar on “how to deal with media questions about Ian Thorpe’s sexuality”.
ah mick, they’ll make a kraut of you yet!
They are trying, they really are… I can’t quite get the hang of this whole schnitzel, potato, and beer diet thing yet. Though I’m getting better at walking through the hills singing songs while wearing a nun costume
See look, off topic.
Was Julie Andrews in the “Sound of Music” a lipsnigger? She had short hair?
Good idea, Harry
I will gladly accept cash
To pursue women
Problem is, so many do it for free …
who cares about Missy Higgins?
The $64,000 question is Is Laura Bush lesbian?
I saw the news the other night. That chick who won Australian Idol was lipsnigin…
Hmmm, just checking this thread wasn’t lost in the database disaster …
Thankfully no, after two weeks I was beginning to miss this thread.
But to shed some new light on this interesting discussion, James McConvill contends that Missy most likely is a lesbian. Ok, he really contends that everyone is homosexual, but we can directly infer.
Must say how much I’m enjoying the girls on the Movie Show with Jamie out of the picture. Note – Fenella also criticised actors in Joyeux Novel for being bad lipsnigers!
Wait till Missy Higgins makes her first film!
I’m fairly certain that James McConvill is a lipsniger , especially after reading his views on foreplay.
I’m pretty sure Flinty lipsnigs too.
Is Zoe lesbian? Flirtatious lipsnigin Kimberellas everywhere want to know!
Ps – sorry – Pissed!
Well no Kim, but I’ve snigered the odd lip in my time
Maybe Missy Higgins is just a sezbian?
(snaps to Jess for word of the week)
I’d always suspected as much, Zoe, but kudos to Ms Jess for such a good word!
You can sniger my lips any time you’re in Brisvegas!
Of course, the great love of my life is G&T!
Ps – do I still count as a lesbian if I bonk Roger Waters as the closest possible substitute for Fenella Kernebone?
Not that Roger’s offered.
But hey – if you’re reading -
yellowvinyl (at) gmail (dot) com
I am very relieved Roger Waters is not part of the deal!
Oh no! And I noticed last night Fenella has on oddly twisted mouth! All the better to…???
Zoe – the snigs of Kim’s lips are certainly worth an interstate visit
Just reviewin (with
permissionencouragement)…Kim, my lipsniger,
Glad I’m not the only one
Who comments while pissed
The tapping of keys
It seems funny at the time
Press Enter, just do it
On a bench with a laptop a little tom-tit
Sang “sniger, lip-singer, lip-sniger”
And I said to him, “Dicky-bird, why do you sit
Singing ’sniger, lip-sniger, lip-sniger’”
“Is it commenting overload, birdie?” I cried
“Or worms lodged too deep on your laptop’s hard drive?”
With a shake of his poor little head, he replied
“Oh, sniger, lip-sniger, lip-sniger!”
A bird can’t emote, but I thought him bemused,
Singing “sniger, lip-sniger, lip-sniger”
As he used his beak deftly to fully peruse
Oh sniger, lip-sniger, lip-sniger
Then he shrugged and he sighed, and a gurgle he gave,
No more posts would he read by a radio wave,
As he shut down his laptop, forgetting to save,
Singing sniger, lip-sniger, lip-sniger.
Now I feel just as sure as I’m sure that my name
isn’t sniger, lip-sniger, lip-sniger,
’twas massive confusion that made him exclaim
“Oh, sniger, lip-sniger, lip-sniger”
And if this thread becomes any further obscure, I
fear that our readership will not endure
The gargantuan in-joke in not being sure;
what’s a sniger, lip-sniger, lip-sniger”
But what the hell, let’s go with it anyway…
With no apologies whatsoever to Gilbert and Sullivan
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I’ve got a little list — I’ve got a little list

There was once an unkillable thread
That fortnightly rose from the dead.
Its snigering lips,
bisexual tips,
and name-dropping fucked with my head.
Hello,
I work for Missy and found this ‘topic’ while doing a random google search for her. I cannot believe the level of stupidity displayed here.
NOBODY knows Missy Higgins except Missy herself, so drop it and leave the whole “is missy gay” topic alone. Does it really matter to you? Do you base your whole lives around the issue? no? Well then fuck off and stop accusing such a talented singer/songwrite of horrible things. You
can really hurt people’s feeling with this shit.
Emma!
Two points:
1. Most of this thread is satire. Except for people who wander in after doing random google searches. Get a sense of humour, babe!
2.
Sheesh! If you think that being a lesbian is a horrible thing, then you can fuck off, my dear! Lipsnigin, yeah, I’m with you on that, though.
Oh, and read the bloody post at the top of the thread. The whole point of this thread was to satirise people obsessed enough to flood blogs with google searches about Missy’s sexuality. Missy may be a “talented singer/songwrite”, but perhaps she needs some advice on human resource development for her staff.
Kim, I don’t think you should be defending people who write Missy Higgins poetry. There really is no excuse, and it really can hurt people’s feelings.
Is Emma Missy’s ghostwriter, Anna?
I certainly would never be mean about a talented singer/songwrite who could write lyrics like these:
*reaches for whiskey bottle*
Yes, good lyrics Kim.
Say, to drift from the thread theme a tidge, does anyone else the Emma Albericci http://abc.net.au/businessbreakfast/ from the 730 report is the hotness?
Yowza!
http://www.celebrityspeakers.com.au/brspeaker_bio.asp?Speaker_Index_Text=333
Funny you should mention the Emma Alberici! I was just exchanging emails with someone an hour or so ago about what a hotness she is! As you will have noticed from your google image search, Lefty E, the ABC websites don’t do her justice! We need an Emma fan page with avid contributors with screencap technology!
If I never see Red Kezza again, I won’t be sorry, let me tell you!
Yes, but does she lipsnig?
I reckon Michael Brissenden does! Horrid man. Only decent bit in the Latham diaries was the attack on his total trivialisation of what he reports on. And those “cute” song choices! Aaarrggghhhh!
30 minutes of Emma, please.
LE, helll yes. Especially with black blazers. And when the editors fuck up her commentary and she does a near-Naomi http://www.brisbanewindow.com/?p=30 – except on air. Also, I’m with Kim – Brissenden’s head is too big these days.
Agreed on all counts Kim.
Down with Brissenden and his half-arsed ‘carry on up the Canberra’ schtick.
Up with Alberici!
fanclub? … already joined. Lets swap any Alberici hotness details that come to hand!
Our ranks are already swelling Kimski.
http://www.tamesapien.com/weblog/archives/2003/11/07/emma-alberici-for-president/
Hehe!
This comment is actually very much in the spirit of this thread!
Anna and comrades, we have specific intelligence!
*weeps*
She’s married?
Happily?
Comrades! Further research is needed! Perhaps Mr Emma is past his use by date???
I reckon Michael Brissenden does! Horrid man.
My nephew and niece (11 and 7) watch the 7.30 Report nightly just so they can shriek in horror when “the man with the crazy eyes” comes on.
Don’t mind the silly song choices though, had some Hank Snr last night.
Mmmm, Emma Alberici …
I was always partial to Ellen Fanning.
My favourite moment was (no transcript that I can find) when she interviewed Bill Hayden, and when he cast aspersions on Hawkie’s, ahem, manhood … Ellen maintained an ice-cool demeanour throughout.
What does 2006 hold in store for our lipsnigerin beauty?
Heard me some extensive Missy on RN’s Live on Stage while driving home last night — a recording of a concert at Byron Bay in March. Some conclusions:
1) Missy does, in fact, rock.
2) She does not lipsnig. You heard it here.
3) While her lyrics do, as Kim has indicated, look a bit lame on paper, they don’t look much more lame than most other people’s, and much less lame than some. Bear in mind she is still only about thirteen. (Well, you know.)
4) She sang two or three of her own songs I hadn’t heard before, all lyrically more than adequate (and I could tell, because, God love her, she does not affect an American accent and is therefore comprehensible) and all musically much more interesting than the usual fare. There is no comparison to be made with Delta ‘Girlie Lite’ Goodrem. None.
5) She also sang The Church’s Under the Milky Way and whupped that puppy good.
6) Still no indications re sexual preference!
Happy new year, everyone. Well, Kim and Pavlov’s Pussy, anyway. My prediction for 2006 is that this thread will not die.
Fortunately, my New Year resolution involves kicking it along from time to time.
It is reassuring to know that there are still some blogs out there ready to deal with the really big issues. I for one am absolutely fascinated by Nicole Chvastek – she always seemed to be out of place on a commercial channel – not your stereotypical glamour puss but holding on dearly by the tips of her journalistic integrities. Her moving to the ABC brought balance to the force.
Listen up lipsnigers… the real issue here is that Missy Higgins sings like a Brit.
I spoke to a friend of mine who went to a Missy gig (with her mum – perhaps the niche marketing is not capturing the right demographic?) who wouldn’t comment on whether Missy lipsnigs!
Kung hei fat choi!
Just received a press release in my inbox today – Missy Higgins has signed with PETA!
why does it matter if Missy Higgins might happen to be a lesbian? i personally don’t think she is, she’s just an extremely cool chik who doesn’t put on the American accent when she sings. She bloody well is a true aussie. i really look up to her, coz she’s just got the greatest ‘laid-back’ personality. Missy does not sing like a Brit, she sings like an aussie. there is a freakin difference okay? if she sang like a brit maybe she would sound a little bit more like Sid Vicious, minus the bad temper. some people think that its the hair that makes her ‘look’ like a lesbian. are you guys serious? that is the lamest excuse. what’s so lesbian-like about having short hair? so many girls i know have short hair, doesn’t make them a lez though does it. infact, i actually have an auntie who is a lesbian, and she is the coolest. she has a girlfriend and they are just normal, nothing weird about them. no reason to hate them at all. so what is it with you people that just wanna go out and kill all gays? okay so maybe it can be kinda weird and annoying when you see a gay couple down the street that are all over each other, but you see girlfriend and boyfriends doing that together all the time, so what makes it so wrong when gays are doing it. that about wraps it up for me, so i say.. leave her alone, don’t go startin the rumours if you don’t even know if it’s true or not. does it really matter if she’s gay or not? is it really gunna kill you to find out she is a les? GOSH i could just throw a tough steak at you right now.
Haiku appears to be proved correct.
leave er alone, we’re not homophobic. The thread is a pisstake on people who think it’s important. You’ve just kinda, well, added to that.
Get a life
this voyeurism is demeaning to intelligence
fuk it then, say what you want about her, not saying your homophobic, its just stupid how everyone is startin these rumours about celebrities being gay. you don’t know them, so as the old saying goes.. ‘get your facts right before you say things’.
Yeah, but that’s the point. The post was put up because a lot of the traffic coming here back in June was googlers trying to find out something about Missy’s sexuality. So I agree that such rumours are pointless, but there’s obviously a lot of interest in them!
“Does Jackerstrocchi
Have the necessary bits?
He’s a comment bot!”
You’re a comment bot. I couldn’t tell you apart from any number of folks. Always remember:
“Comments that are purely abusive, or which reflect on other commenters in an overly offensive manner will not be tolerated.”
Don’t you feel that you’ve been acting the lynch-mob a little with Mr Strocchi? Bigotry can get so ubiquitous you cease to notice it. Like gravity or the air you breathe.
……………………………………………………………………………………………..
I seem to remember a young lady accepting and award from David Hasslehoff and acting with a rather touching spontaneity that she reckoned surprised herself. Didn’t look overly Lesbian to me. But on the other hand if her theory was correct and there was even a little hetero there………….. Well this IS David Hasslehoff!
Lesbian or nay the girls only human.
Fellas. The ladies aren’t going to tell you about the strange attraction (not strange in the attraction but in the STRENGTH of the attraction) Hasslehoff has for them. Because they know they’d only upset you.
There’s a difference in context – everyone’s known Jack for a long time, and we’re fond of him, so we tease him a bit.
As to Hasselhof, I thought it was guys who had a secret attraction to the Hof? But perhaps as a woman, I lack your great insight and intuition of what women want.
You’re turning yourself inside out with that argument Kim. We both are attracted to the same Gender. So your argument from authority is hardly going to cut it. Some of your sisters probably just nodding their heads quietly and wondering how I dound them out.
No you relentlessly and repetitively belittle Jack. And you ought to stop. If he wasn’t a white guy and you did that sort of thing at work you could be pulled into court. But then that’s no different from pretty much any conservative who is likely to stray here.
The Hof’s attractiveness to women and some members of his own gender ain’t no mystery; when the boy is pleased to see you he really does look pleased to see you. Well, that’s what I been told anyway.
Its pretty easy to say such a thing isn’t it. I mean here’s a guy who was sufficiently motivated to put together Baywatch and put himself in as a star. Meaning he got pretty much everything you’d want as a teenager (and beyond). No easy feat. Not to be sneered at since a lot of people who would have liked to do such a thing evidently didn’t. Really you’d have to think he was a bit of a champion.
I rather suggest he’s motivated by things other then you think. But if it makes you feel better about the situation you can make-believe that he’s gay I suppose.
I’ve seen some very disturbing pictures of the Hof dating from the 80s. Enough said!
Graeme, I think Jack can look after himself on the whole. He gives as good as he gets, and it’s all fairly light hearted as Kim observers. Strocchi vs. everyone stoushing is a blogosphere tradition that predates my participation in blogs in 2004 and this blog’s existence from 2005.
What about those Jews down the road. They can handle it too? What about that fat girl. You know that fat girl that went on to get an eating disorder. Personally I don’t want to handle this stuff from stupid people. I want someone to point out where I’m going off the beam with an argument.
I just pointed out some really bad economics on another thread. Now someone could debate it. Or they could run away from the issue and never learn anything. And always be stuck on stupid. So the only feedback I got was someone suggesting I was smoking dope. A moron right?
Now these sort of jumping up and down with your fingers in your ear. These sort of tactics. These are the tactics or religious people whose faith has been challenged. And people should really aspire to better things.
The endless silliness of it all just gets in the way. Its a way people get to stay in their own bubble. Never engage in the debate. I’ve seen a few dodges before but I’ve never seen people start writing haiku “poems”.
Anything to run from the debate.
So anyway we have this:
“Graeme, I think Jack can look after himself on the whole.”
And then compare to this:
“Comments that are purely abusive, or which reflect on other commenters in an overly offensive manner will not be tolerated.”
I can sure as hell look after myself too. But either you have the rule or you don’t. If a certain type of bigotry is everywhere then you can no longer see it.
The heat of summer
Has fired up Mr Bird
This thread continues!
(Note references to season and fauna. No reference to Popper though)
Ha! Into my trap
Now I get to make the post
Comment 300
Hey, what happened to Graham Bird’s comment calling me a moron, an idiot, a non-poet and other things? Don’t suppose you could reinstate it for posterity?
Plus my comment 300 looks a bit silly at 299 …
“GOSH i could just throw a tough steak at you right now.”
GOSH Missy would be appalled! Show some respect for the animals, and Missy.
http://notthewest.com.au/archives/2006/01/31/higgins-bites-hand-of-nation-that-feeds-her/
A poetic tribute to Graeme Bird Esq, a recently arrived new commenter at Larvatus Prodeo,in a popular classical style which is not that of the Japanese haiku which he hath frequently and vehemently denounced.
There once was a fellow named Bird,
Who behaved like a bit of a turbit*
He’s moan and he’d rant
While dishing up cant
And conspiracy theories** abstruse.
* – a variety of domestic pigeon (OED).
** – that one about Bill and Hilary Clinton being the greatest threats to American national security and the freedom of the democratic West since Julius and Ethel Rosenberg was a real beaut.
But its true Haiku. At least the Soviet Union had an economic weaknesses that could be exploited. But selling of military secrets to the Chinese?
Mark you going to put up with this a haiku fella abusing fellow posters?
Just to be clear, ~haiku is a different person from me. For a start, the limerick is not really my thing. Too many syllables for a start. Plus, ~haiku is quite witty, whereas I’m just a bit of a moron, as GB has so succintly identified (Mark – if that comment 299 is still around, I’d be very pleased if you could reinstate it). Finally, ~haiku actually has his own blog, which is well worth reading, where he blogs as one of the comic Trotsky brothers.
Sorry, haiku, I was out all day and missed this thread and once comments are deleted, they’re gone altogether and can’t be retrieved.
That’s a terrible poem, ~haiku.
The rhymes all go wrong from line two.
It’s one thing to scan,
’cause most poems can.
I don’t think it’s enough, do you?
Lines addressed to Mr Liam Hogan, who has the temerity to deride my accomplishments as a poet, and to others of his ilk.
So my limerick left you perplexed
And this, in turn, made you vexed.
Please don’t blame me
If you cannot see
That the rhymes are all there in the subtext.
Who cares if she is a lesbian? Or if her singing voice is not fantastic? When you look at the singers who inspired the most people, a perfect voice wasn’t the most important thing. Its the soul behind the voice, the power. Leave her alone if you don’t like her! Shes doing way better than you retards that are critisising her and probably has a better voice.
You call us retards
“Look to her soul, not her bed!”
Try reading the thread
Two comments:
1. Jack Strocchi has still not commented on this thread.
2. When I was on the edge of 17 I had a crush on Stevie Nicks, and I still love her after all these years. (sigh)
Has any other songwriter been so analysed on the basis of one line in one song? Maybe she and her partner are just really clumsy with knives and so ‘bleed together’ while cooking dinner?
I always enjoy the way people turn up here, presumably by googling “is Missy Higgins lesbian” or some close variant, and then say “who cares if she’s a lesbian!”.
Zoe, I wouldn’t be encouraging anyone to try reading the thread at this late stage – that sort of advice should carry a mental health warning!
Your rhymes are OK, Gummo, it’s just your rhythm that misses the mark….
You can also arrive via
googling “Nun costume schnitzel potato and beer”.
Maybe that’s what Sharlene was after when she launched her critisism of us retards?
Or even:
“wiggles meet steve irwin”
Or even is missy higgins heterosexual?
That musta been Sharlene.
Not to mention the well endowed chest of emma alberici!
Yes or even Haiku about Missy Higgins.
Ok fine, I’ll give Sharlene the benefit of the doubt.
Higgins, Kernebone, Alberici be damned! I love Stevie Nicks!
It’s alright, Paul, you can go your own way.
Hey Frankie
Glad to see you’re back from the dead.
Is your wife lesbian?
After falling in love watching Lateline last night, I wish Julia Gillard was lesbian.
Mmmmmmmary Kostakidis: newsreader excellentnessness
I don’t know about Missy, but Willie Nelson is opening the closet and dusting out some twenty-year-old songs:
It’s March already
Time to kick this thread along
No reason really
Sorry for going off topic, but I just need to have a few words about Virginia Haussegger. I find her books and articles heartfelt, but shallow, but I easy enough to ignore. The problem is that she reads the ABC news here as well. I think she’s not a lesbian as she recently got married to a press gallery journalist famous for falling in a decorative pond. I have no information about Virginia and lipsniging.
In other news, Just James starts plotting a (1) a good old fashioned labor branch stack (2) world domination.
Y’know, if we keep this up, this could be the first four figure comment thread in the Sourthern hemisphere. About a third of way there. Marche ou crève, mon enfants.
And I’m happy to kick it along a bit further with a drunken surreal discussion about whether the Geste Bros were lipsnigers. Yes, that was a very small jest.
Thanks for the James update, Zoe!
Nabs, sadly, we’ve got a way to go. I think one of Quiggin’s climate change threads topped 500 (or was it 600)?
Wouldn’t be surprised if they were Nabs. I think a lot more went on during those nights in the barracks at Fort Zindeneuf than the published accounts let us in on. Including a little lip-snigering to Un Bel Di and other famous Puccini arias.
well if some post about poetry can gather 100 comments in the blink of an eye, perhaps it’s time for this thread to get a kick along.
Just sayin’
Gimmicky mimicry,
Thought Missy Higgins when
She was recording for
The Sound Of White.
Sing it with gusto, and
Lipsnigeristically,
Said her sound manager
Is that all right?

You two haiku hellions owe me the last half hour. Ta.

Read through some comments for
A full half hour
Questions still unsated
Larvatusprodated
Is Missy Lesbian?
We still don’t know
Not bad, haiku, though like my first attempt at Club Troppo your two last lines don’t rhyme. Larvatusprodated, though, well done, I tip my beret to you. In answer to your question:
…
Hitchhiker Lipsniger
Did a young pop singer
Try to hitch her career
To her short hair?
She’s not a bad singer:
Bisexuality—
just like with all music—
why should we care?
Missy Higgins rocks i am 16 years old and she is the first singer that i have ever liked this much. there is something about her that strikes me hard.
by the way she is not a leso because she has had boyfriends before any true fan would know this, at best she in bi which i am not sure she is..
Pshaw to those who say Freudian analysis is not useful!
Sixteen year old boys are often “stricken hard”, Kim.
No guy needs refer to Freud to know that
Even if Missy is a lip sniger, can she sniger and shake and strum like a real old pro?
Heh.
If blogs had been invented fifteen years ago “Is Madonna lesbian?” would have been the question on everyone’s lips.
Missy – Madonna was an idol of mine. I owned a Madonna tape. You’re no Madonna.
Btw – that Texas Democrat dude who ran for V-P with Dukakis really got lucky with that “I knew Jack Kennedy, Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you’re no Jack Kennedy” line against Quayle. Sadly people still remember Quayle’s name.
This post celebrates its first birthday soon. Just sayin’ …
Damn. haiku hogan has beaten me to it.
Images of females with guns on one well frequented post and admissions of bi-sexuality on another. What next?
Lunch.
What next indeed. I think I’ll start a land war in Asia, myself.
Good for you Liam, it is long past time for a new crusade I must say.
At last, 350.
Uh-oh.
Sorry, PC, couldn’t resist …
Now seems as good a time as any to ask which members of the First All-Party Congress were lipsnigerers. And did the NKVD really have devices that could detect lipsnigerring over telphone lines?
The 20th Party Congress, I believe, Gummo, was the zenith of secret snigered lipping.
Ok – I can’t believe you revived this thread or that I just read it in all its sordid and partially-poetic detail.
I gotta get out more.
It just goes to show you can’t keep a good lesbian down.
Especially the zombie lipsnigering ones.
Anyway, a Bolshevik, a Menshevik and an Anarchist walk into a karaoke bar…
Reading this thread is compulsory for anyone who turns up to LP, Grendel. It’s a rite of passage sort of thing. In Portugal, a Sporting Lesbian is one you lets you watch …
In honour – and no small imitation – of Kimberella, if we’re getting blogomantic on All Hallows’ Eve, let’s do it with the original and best zombie thread of all fecking time.
“What’s scary?”
A gamine ingenue of indeterminate sexual preference!
You’re a charmer, Graf von Bazarov
But I suspect we may be all alone in here. One ARIA awards later, Missy is old news.
But will she rise from the lesbian dead?
Only 40 39 more comments to go and we will reach 400.
Come on, LPers all, you can do it.
Only
403938 more comments …Well, I try. Then, 15 minutes later, I try again. Ahem. As the saying goes.
Yairs – quite a gothic scene, the two of us alone in this graveyard of comments long since passed. Quite à propos, if not comme il faut, given the day.
Speaking of things gothic, here’s a poser for you: how long can a person’s canine teeth get before they’re officially in Buffy territory? I’m not talking about the Goth vampyre-wannabe cosmetics, BTW, but catching-on-your-lip-while-sucking-on-cabsav totally natural wolfish fangers. I ask because I had lunch with a bloke sporting same yesterday and I swear he was pushing the limit.
Dunno – can you get a rise out of a lesbian?
I’m in, PC. In the spirit of clerks, thirty-seven??
THIRTY SEVEN!!!
Damn, this always happens on this thread.
Yes, if she’s sporting – see above …
Try not to s*** any c*** on your way to the car park!
Of course, “thirty-five” doesn’t have quite the same ring to it …
“Of course, “thirty-fiveâ€? doesn’t have quite the same ring to it …”
No. Quite. Quick & the undead, Haiku Dave, quick & the undead.
“Yes, if she’s sporting – see above …”
You’re not talking about hermaphoditic porn, are you? Because, strictly speaking…oh, never mind…
Why just aim for 400 when we can aim for four twenty? Mmmmmm.
Strictly speaking … I didn’t specify who was getting the rise.
But I don’t think rises are so likely under Workchoices (TM)
I would totally turn lipsniger for Bad News Hughes. ’specially in this halloween getup.
So anyway, how were the Arias?
I couldn’t bear to watch after the continuing trauma of last year’s double ewww Ben Lee/Missy Higgins…
Is Christine Keeler a lipsniger?
From what I see on the news the most interesting bit of the Arias didn’t get telecast. Why Axel Whitehead thought it was a good idea to flash his bits I don’t know, but I expect he’ll be thinking how he might explain that to his next prospective employer right about now. For those of you unfamiliar with him he’s the guy on the Street Idol ads and former host of Video Hits on 10.
Meh, how passe. According to some, some gals have had the ‘uncovered meat’ look going on for ages.
I don’t think I have ever made a comment in this long and illustrious thread so I ain’t gonna start now.
Who is Axel Whitehead and did he have a wardrobe malfunction? (Can’t say I know what the Street Idol ads or Video Hits are!)…
HERE What was he thinking…and with all those hungry cats around too lol!
Lordy!
Should he have already been sacked just for having a nutsoid name like “Axle Whitehead”?
The thread that won’t die
Can Missy make a comeback?
The Sound of Gunfire
What an irresistible image you do conjure, Jabba, to be sure.
I’m not sure if it would be wholly tasteful to re-introduce the time-honoured activity of lipsnigering at this juncture, though.
Anna, wtf? Is that a prop for her song? Or is she about to go postal?
What does Missy think about fractional reserve banking?
What is fractional reserve banking?
Is that even right?
Alas, ’tis photoshop. Missies with guns will catch on though. I’m sure of it.
F@#% fractional reserve banking. You’re a commie c^&*, Mark!!
Missy is a freakin LIAR, Anna! I mean, what’s with the support she gave to Quiggan? She should know better! I mean she’s better than that. But she hasn’t come over to our side yet. BECAUSE SHE’S STILL LYING! FREAKIN FREAK!
Best. Comment. Evah! on this thread, Dr Cat!
Though second place I think would have to go to Missy’s PA, for succinctness and elegant simplicity:
http://larvatusprodeo.net/2005/06/02/is-missy-higgins-lesbian/#comment-44245
And how come Missy herself isn’t doing post-ARIA bragging like last year?
http://larvatusprodeo.net/2005/06/02/is-missy-higgins-lesbian/#comment-33861
I’d totally forgotten that even Birdy put in an appearance on this thead:
http://larvatusprodeo.net/2005/06/02/is-missy-higgins-lesbian/#comment-49659
And without calling anyone a liar or swearing.
He picked up bad habits somewhere, I think.
So what’s Fenella up to these days anyway?
http://larvatusprodeo.net/2005/06/02/is-missy-higgins-lesbian/#comment-7426
Heh. I was frist on this thread.
Just sayin…
And it’s interesting to think that since this thread has been going for so long, elle and jen might be sitting on their computer in University history now wondering if Clare Bowditch is lesbian…
http://larvatusprodeo.net/2005/06/02/is-missy-higgins-lesbian/#comment-10255
Is Clare Bowditch any good though?
Yes! She is! I heard her in a lovely interview on the radio yesterday, preceded by a track from the album in question. Good lyrics, good music, good voice (though either the production could have been better or there’s something wrong with my car radio).
She’s also 7 months pregnant with twins, which might have put the ARIA in perspective.
at lipsniging? Or something else?
Indeed. There is of course no question but that they will have got into University History, and may even be through their introductory remedial reading course by now. Which they will also have “passed”, of course.
Not that I’ve got a barrow to push or anything. Ahem.
Ooooh, gettin’ very close to the 400 mark. I think Kim should do the honours.
at lipsniging? Or something else?
The doom-thread is dead!
Where, on slow working mornings
Shall we comment-bludge?
Some fuel for this fire:
In a movie of Missy
Who would you all cast?*
*My pick: Rose Byrne.
399 comments, and without a single one by Jack Strocchi or Graham Bird in response to Fyodor and his sock puppets.
And I’d definitely want Adam Sandler to play Tim Rogers.
Haiku Hoges, but he’d have to bulk up for the role.
And we’d need a special lens to his keep feckin’ gargantuan head in normal proportion to his body.
Sensitive girl singers kill with their words not with guns.
Anna Winter, I’m shocked.
im not sure is missy higgins a lezo frickin hell
WTF? This party’s been going on for 10 months? Where’s the fucking absinthe?
Je me demandais ce qu’était tout le bruit. Vous êtes chanceux je n’avez pas appelé les cannettes de fil.

Is Louisa lesbian?
*Kidding, kidding! Happy new year!*
Good for you Louisa.
Erm?
It’s possible to get pregnant without the fucking.
Is Missy Higgins pregnant?
FYI: According to Louisa’s myspace account she’s 14.
Check out her profile photo:
http://myspace.com/ilovemissyhiggins
The photo thertainly theemth to have a pronounthed lithp.
Is Missy Higgins a devotee of the Virgin Mary?
Is Missy Higgins libertarian? The answer is no.
(gotta stay in front, here)
Louisa, my dear, we’ll let you in on a little joke (which, if you’d read the thread in detail, you might have picked up on, but oh well). None of us really care whether Missy Higgins is gay or not. Some of us like Missy’s music; some aren’t too fussed; none of us wish her ill regardless of either of the above. Personally, I’m sort of in the middle; it’s not bad, but some of the other female singer-songwriters around connect better with where I am in my own life.
But most of this thread really isn’t about Missy Higgins at all. It’s one, very long, very elaborate, series of jokes by a bunch of very nerdy adults revelling in their nerdiness.
Oh, and by the way, if you like Missy Higgins, ask your parents (or grandparents, possibly) to lend you a copy of Carole King’s album Tapestry, and perhaps a Joni Mitchell album or two.
Never mind, we’ll use some Austrians instead
Missy is hot as. And this thread should die.
That’s not really the way to do it bonstAr.
Anyhoo, you never hear about Missy going out without her knickers on, do you?
Does this one win the award for the longest on-going post on LP?
I assumed the infamous Higgins thread was the result of 400 “omg/lezo i rekon dhe is bubi/” (??) kiddies….
I’d just like to state on behalf of all current parents – the product/electronics engineer who first designed a Compact Disc player to repeat the same song indefinitely …… should be rounded up, strapped to a chair with ‘Scar’ on repeat, for about six months……only then, will they truly know the terrible consequences of this ill-conceived innovation.
By the way, apparently her new album is due out in a couple of weeks. Wonder whether it will feature any lipsnigerring?
That’s only cos lipsnigers wear pants. You just know the dirty bitch goes commando.
No Ron. This one does.
u guys are retarded she is an amazing singer and are stupid for making this conversation last 4eva!!
l8 peeps
kiss kiss
Yes florence. Yes we are.
[Ahem]
Florence, only some of us peeps are ‘late’. On this thread only ‘William Wallace’ and I, I believe, are at this moment dead. Christine Keeler might be old, but as far as I know she’s still enjoying a terrestrial existence.
I’ll bet she snigered a bit when she was a young woman, I do.
Hey!
You have 9 lives, PC, so may well still be hanging around, getting fur on the couch.
I don’t believe Pavlov ever actually used a cat, PC, so you’d not only be not dead, but not ever alive. (it’s a little-known fact that he very rarely used bells, either). In short, you don’t count.
And I did check to see whether Generalfeldmarschall Paulus had commented here, but it seems, not yet.
Who cares ?….
The lipsnigers do!
No, no, that was me!
Well that’d make you a highly professionally unethical cat, if Schroedinger were ever to have put you in the box.
If all thought experiments came into actual being, and if all our preferences were given actual existence… what a horrible thought.
That would put Missy way behind the 8 ball. So many lips. So little snigering time.
“If all thought experiments came into actual being…”
‘N if my thought-dreams
Could be seen,
They’d prob’ly stick my head
In a guillotine…
But it’s all right, Ma…
Still krazee after all these viziers…
In answer to your original question Kim re Fenella – I believe the answer to be yes. But it was dark, I was drunk…
Thanks, Bernice. I’m glad my suspicions are confirmed after 439 comments…
Not that’s there’s anything wrong with lipsnigering. Why I do believe the Sun King used to – well that’s a story for another day
What is lipsnigering?
There’d be a world where the Iraq war lasted months not years, where WMDs were found, where a modern democratic well-functioning and secular federation were established without massive casualties and the creation of refugees and insurgents, and in which Saddam Hussein was tried and convicted for the genuinely atrocious things he did in the eighties.
Funnily enough, you don’t have to look very far to find such thought experiments going on as we speak …
But anyway, back to the lipsnigering. This post is only 31 days away from its second birthday … I’m sure suitable celebrations are planned.
When you’re tired of lipsnigering, you’re tired of life.
I did try. I tried my very best. Dr Pangloss assures me good thoughts will become good things one day.
Thinking very hard about good thoughts now.
Thinking, straining, thinking, straining, straining…
Ohh, I think my bum just blew up. Should I run for President now?
C’mon Sam, buck up. Give the mercury cure a whirl.
This thread celebrates another anniversary. Time to push on for the next millstone!
there was movement across teh nation,
for teh word had passed around
that teh thread about old missy had gone OT
and joined teh wild bush lipsnigerers
It was worth half a thousand comments
and all teh hacks had gathered for teh fray
there was hogan who made his poems, when berets were in style
with hair colour that we’ll never know
but few could write beside him when his blood was fairly up
he would go where death beasts feared to show
And princess kimberella came down to lend a hand
few finer hacks had ever tapped teh keys
with emma and fernella amongst her naughty brain
she leant her craft while snigereing on the plane
and fyodor and bahnisch, and even graeme bird
had launched a hundred comments in their quest
was missy higgins lesbian? did anybody care?
teh hivemind sought teh answers for teh rest
but among them was jack strocchi, a gaunt and wiry lad
who intervened so all could hear him say
“All you po-mo-PC-wetlings have lost teh culture wars
You should simply bid miss higgins on her way!�
I think of that night, in the garden alone,
When whispering you told me your heart was my own,
That your love in the future should faithfully be,
Unshared by another, kept only for me.
Oh sweet to my soul is the memory still,
Of the lips that met mine when they murmured “I will,”
But now to their pleasure no more I incline,
For the lips that touch sniger must never touch mine.
Have seen this thread while lurking – thought it had something to do with the pig from Sesame Street.
Such disappointment.
For commenter haiku.
I
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by
lipsnigery, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through hyperlinks at dawn
looking for a musico-Sapphic fix,
gravatarriated beclowned sideshow hipsters burning
for any connection with the star-studded dynamo of
the machinery of night,
who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up
smoking in the supernatural darkness of overtime offices
and studious flats, webcrawling across the tops of cities,
who bared their brains to PNAC or at least saw
Mohammedan angels creeping where the Reds once lay
beneath darkened beds,
who passed through universities with radiant cool schooners
hallucinating the Sound of White amongst the scholars of war,
who were expelled from the comment threads for stoush &
publishing obscene odes on the windows of the moderators’ skulls,
who cowered in unshaven rooms in underwear, burning their
money websearching for other hairless creatures in underwear,
with the absolute heart of the poem of life butchered
out of their own bodies. OMG!!!!WTF!!!1!!

What sphinx of PHP and HTML bashed open
their skulls and ate up their brains and imagination?
Moloch! Solitude! Filth! Ugliness! Ashcans and unobtainable

i ran into this thread while searching for something else, and have had my socks rocked by one HOWL of a parody. Thank you for enlivening my insomnia, Liam! if i were wearing a hat, i’d be taking it off to you right now.

By the way, not that it matters, but in the two years since this post appeared, a lot of folks in the music biz have informed me that Missy Higgins is lesbian!
But if you say that Kim, doesn’t that mean the thread ends?
Missy Higgins is NOT a lesbian!
There’s the more pressing question, Christine.
Is Fenella Kernebone a lesbian?
And if so, how do I get a date with her?
Why oh why didn’t someone at the Brisbane Queer Film Festival fly her up to schmooze?
A prize for someone poetically inclined who writes an Ode to Fenella!
Is Fenella Kernebone a lesbian?
Oh yeah, definitely.
Sure Christine, but she didn’t suffer like Dusty did.
Oh Fenella, Fenella, Fenella
Don’t wanna see ya with no fella
Come up and be Kim’s Cinderella
And drink and smooch and listen to Songs For Drella
What, no mention of Australian midfielder Vince Grella?
Oooh… look what I found
Heh!
Well, I saw Fenella with a lady friend in Fitzroy recently, sharing a look of une certain regard, if you get mon allusion francais.
The view from Keating Towers, y’ know.
Well, did you give her my email? Hey, boyo?
You get to see all the hot chix around Keating Towers. Julia Z too I recall!
I think there was something about her in Curve, the american lesbian magazine that says she isn’t giving anything out, however, she did write Ten days for a boyfriend. I hope she is bisexual, that would kick ass.

On a warm Clear Night
Nobody can hear you scream
“Lipsniger, WTF?”
…
Congratulations to Missy Higgins for making it two in a row.
I can even comment on old threads …
Does it really matter if Missy Higgins finds women sexually attractive? Men can understand where she is coming from. I agree with the original comment. I am only bothering to comment because I am perplexed as to how there have been so many comments about it. As someone who was referred to this site as one of the leading centres of left-wing intellectualim, I thought this was meant to be a genuine political blog. I just hope there isnt a Britney-watch on here too.
David, I don’t think you actually read all 471 comments!
None of the regulars actually care, it’s just a chance to write doggerel, limericks and haiku. The joy of wordplay needs no other excuse. Besides, this is not just a politics blog: as it says in the sidebar, we do “politics, culture, sociology and life” here.
This particular thread is a running in-joke here. The site is also having technical issues which means that there are very few posts/comments compared to usual, which is the only reason you could still see a comment from 5 days ago on that thread. Normally it would have fallen off the sidebar.
Anyway, welcome to the blog! All the political discussion (along with the culture, sociology and life discussion) at the moment is happening over at Larvatus Prodeo in Exile, our backup blog.
David arrives late
and comments without reading
our awesome poems
There was a young blog called LP,
For all things from Ruddy to Delpy,
The theme may have bugs,
the admins on drugs,
But commenting quantity’s healthy.
Geez that was terrible. Now let’s see if Wordpress posts my comment properly.
I’ve fallen in love in a fluid sort of way with Missy.
Merry Christmas, Ms Kim.
After all the comments, the answer to the question is no. See Missy’s Myspace site (sorry, someone has probably already mentioned it but I am not going back over all the comments):
http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=7677718&blogID=332025863
You might have seen some media excitement about my sexuality lately. Basically, I gave an interview that’s since been twisted around by other writers so I figure I should clear things up for anyone who’s been confused by it all.
As I explained in that original interview, I’ve never felt comfortable with labeling or categorizing human beings. However if we’re going to pigeonhole me, I’ve been in relationships with both men and women so I guess I fall most easily under the category “Bisexual”.
Thanks, Missy.
Share those fluids, Kim.
Heh! Maybe she’s a lesbian identified bisexual though?
Tee hee, good one Kim.
Maybe she is, maybe she isn’t. It only affects her in the end. It seems quite possible, but I’ve been wrong in the past. Does anyone remember when Anthony Callea came out? now I didn’t see that coming…
Sarah, she’s not a lesbian, she’s bisexual. She said so on her MySpace site.
Anthony Callea….you’re joking? Tee hee.
Frankly, who cares really? And this comments thread is beyond writing on it’s so slow.
Look, to my knowledge I’m the first horse that has ever commented on L.P. Excuse my intrusion but I just wanted to know what a lesbian is? Is it contagious? Are horses at risk? Should I ask my vet about an inoculation?
Being a sensitive horse, I knew that the silence that followed my innocent question on L.P. had meaning. So I asked one of the grooms the question instead. Well I laughed of course and said to him, “You’re kidding me, right?”
Then he went on to start to tell me about human males. I was so shocked I nearly fell over. “Tell me no more,” I shouted at him. “I am a virtuous, highly moral stallion, one with breeding!” And with that I took off into the long paddock.
I am seriously reconsidering my ambition to enter the human world as a four-legged writer!
‘Fraid that Captain Oats is a few lengths ahead of you there, pyzey. But now that we’re exceeding the requirements for a one-horse open sleigh, if we get another horse, we can have a troika.
I’m almost frightened to ask what happened to Captain Oates? Did L.P. send him to the glue factory, Liam?
He said that he was just going out, and may be some time.
He was right, too — he’s been gone for ages.
Right Pyzo, wot Dr. Cat sed, unless you want to be a martyr-horse for Empire, never volunteer your horse-power when there’s talk of fire on the bleedin’ snow.
You don’t seem like a Light Brigade neddy to me. You’re way too smart for that sort of tosh.
pyzo, I’m getting a bit sick of the nag joke. It has passed its use by date.
Do they have lesbians in horse world, BTW?
CK, I’m getting a bit sick of the unfolding human joke too!
The more I dig into the human world the more uncomfortable I feel. But I’m going to soldier on, try to work it all out. There may yet be something of worth to be found that I can bring back to enrich the equine community.
To answer your question: I’m unaware of such questionable activities between two mares but thanks for asking.
Miss Cat, your story of Captain Oates fills me with misgivings. It sounds ominous!
pyzo, are you a wild or tamed horse?
Depends who you ask, Mr Wolfe. Some fillies I’ve known would claim the former!
My mind however is untamed. It is driven by a great hunger for knowledge. Problem is that, surprisingly, some knowledge brings with it despair.
But like an equine version of Don Quixote, I will continue to tilt for the good of horses and mankind until I get struck by one of the sails or suffer an apoplexy.
pyzo, Merlin told the young Arthur that “the best thing for being sad is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails.” So knowledge must also bring solace and even joy.
Tell me a good thing you learnt this year, pyzo.
I reckon learning to tongue-type was nearly the best although CK is unconvinced. It wasn’t easy because the computer is in the groom’s lunchroom and it’s not easy for a horse as big as me to sneak in and out unobserved.
Regarding your human world, probably the best thing that happened was the Animal Farm ending for the Napoleonic Pig, John Howard. I learnt that, if you give humans enough time, sometimes they eventually get it right!
pyzo, the sad truth is that there are no wild horses left in the world, except perhaps in Mongolia. And even free-ranging herds in the US and elsewhere, to the extent they still exist, have long been descendants of domesticated species. The untameable horses species are all extinct and I would surmise they were killed by humans precisely because of their wildness and because they were outbreed by the docile species that human beings preferred.
Mr Wolfe, it’s a shame that human weren’t more domesticated themselves. They seem to love killing given half a chance.
It must be in their genes, killing and greed!
pyzo, you display unmistakable signs of the ontological anxieties that are unique to humans beings.
Our fate is both better and worse than domesticated or feral horses whose lives are reduced to being show ponies, beasts of burden or hunted, hungry steeds.
Human beings are domesticable to the extent that most of us willingly don clothes.
With respect, I suggest you clothe yourself, like the rest of us, and stop horsing around.
But Mr Wolfe, most humans are little better than chattels of the rich: servile consumers, producers, taxpayers, gullible believers who, like sheep, are controlled from the day they are born until they die.
And you want me to don clothes and join them? Not pyzo!
Such contempt and easy stereotypes belong to a mind that is itself gullible and easily led. Perhaps you should adopt a career in lipsnigery, instead.
Mr Zarquon, don’t you usually provide a translation with your ramblings?
Woo hoo 500!
p.s.
No.
Well, I don’t know pyzo, Zarquon and Wolfe, but I reckon blogging yourself in different guises is a pretty unproductive way to go. You need help.
If we really want to kick this rackety old thread into four figures, why not put it out there that Missy Higgins is sceptical about fractional reserve banking.
C#$T-MUNCHING COMMIE!!!!
Well that took for fucking ever.
What does one call a quincentennial thread, anyway? A lipsniger? An Evil Pundit?
Punching in as I punch out again M.Fyodor?
It’s not the same though without the Glorious Bird is it? Perhaps the Larva Rodeo collective could give Birdy a special dispensation for this one thread.
Fuck, I miss the good old days (hitching up his strides) when major LP stoushes would be suddenly derailed by pin up time!
500+ comments and we still don’t know if she’s a lesbian, whatever that is. You humans are a funny lot!
It seems ’twas ever thus, M. Nabakov:
I am the sun,
you are the moon,
I am the nerd,
you are the loon,
play we.
Ouais. Ou sont les nus d’antan?
“Ou sont les nus d’antan?”
Hell, I’d just settle for un peu piqued peek of Sophie Marceau’s eyes or potrine.
Un p’tit peu piqué par une poitrine Parisienne? Moi, je me garde pour pique-niquer à la Green.
“Un p’tit peu piqué par une poitrine Parisienne?”
Well who wouldn’t be. Petites pommes vertes and fuckin’ super soigne with it. Shame ils sont tous hypocodriacists.
“Moi, je me garde pour pique-niquer à la Green.”
Well, she is the best Bond girl for quelle temps. “”j’être l’euros”
pyzo, mate, the horse joke is lame. It’s a dead joke. It needs to be shot, just to make sure. It has teh bird/horse flu.
You have received approximately 5 responses to your blog since June 2007. In other words no one’s reading it, it’s crap, and no-one thinks you’re funny.
Pathetic doesn’t begin to cover it. Extremely annoying (as in your equally useless and unfunny previous existence as ‘Zarquon’) gets close.
If you want to say something on LP just say it. Otherwise do something useful like Worst of Perth http://perthworst.wordpress.com/
Ha! You’re just jealous and bitter because I got the 500th post.
Zarquon, pyro, please get a life. Engage in debate and humour by all means. But what you’re doing is seriously adolescent and completely unfunny to anyone other than yourself.
Rethink it, please.
You’ve got some half-arsed idea that pyzo is the same person as me and I need to get a life?
CK, why do you try to remake others into clones of yourself? Do you feel threatened by those who are different, who challenge or threaten your narrow view of the world?
1984 is not here yet!
Well, that as the best half an hour scan I ever had
(lights a cigarette)
thanks all.
it’s funny how “brave” some of these people are sitting comfortably behind their computer screens tearing down other folks. with that said, i’ve never laughed so hard as i have at some of these posts. mean or not, f’n hilarious!!!
We aim to please, gocomelitely, though to be honest, mostly it’s mostly pleasuring ourselves. Ahem.
Thank you BTW for bumping this thread back to prominence, I’ve an appetite now for a lentil pie and a haircut.
You aim too, please.
You too? Aim, please.
OK
Don’t call it a comeback.
Is a “comeback” like an Olympic “countback”, except they’re not counting backs, it’s an indoor sport?
Clearly, we cannot let this thread be overtaken by that young whippersnapper thread on breast size!
i dunno, robert: lesbians or breast size, it’s your choice, maaaate !!!
“Is a “comeback†like an Olympic “countbackâ€, except they’re not counting backs, it’s an indoor sport?”
No, it’s like a piggy-back, except I shouldn’t have wrote that. Nor should I press this here ‘Submit’ key.
Like Missy, it may be possible to enjoy the best of both worlds …
missy higgins a very anvanced person.. it takes a lot of “rollercoaster” life experiences to understand how real and beauty her song is,….. she’s right all along
..her passion of love honesty ……
…her “everyone afraid to hear” lyrics, questions and statements ……
shes much tooo “aware”
she is “sting” in a form of a woman
“she is “sting†in a form of a woman”
Is Sting gay?
Goddam persistent moniker syndrome.
Now I know how the laydeez feel.
Vincent Vega: One drink, and that’s it. Don’t be rude. Say goodnight, and go home.
Thanks Hogan. Now I’ve scratched out my eyes and used them for earplugs, what else do you recommend?
Tights. And some curly-toed shoes.
Please forgive my iggerance, ladies and gents, but is Missy Higgins the Member for Costello??
And if those aren’t enough, FDB, if you still have faith in the universe’s essential goodness, try this little duet out.
….. when you will finally know what is most important in her life , her visions and dreams …..
you wouldnt care if she is a straight or hermaphrodyte ….
But we do care, ta. We do.
Who is Fernella Kernebone?
Liam, do you keep an inventory of these horrors, waiting for some poor naif to ressurect this thread? Y’know, like CL and his Clinton/Gore quotes?
PW – Fernella is none of your concern: Can’t anyone but ta stay on topic here?

Who, why, why dopes this keep coming up again. Who cares? I don;t even know why she has a record deal. Melbourne is crammed full of generic singer ’song’writers like her with the banal ponderous lyrics and the total lack of hooks. And then there’s all these really cool acts with talent and chops and skills brimming over that can’t get a fucking gig.
“Who, why, why dopes this keep coming up again.”
Incoherent with rage Adrien? Dude, you’re typing like Cambria.
Have a read back, soak up the atmosphere, then come back down here and raise your no doubt doughty Scots voice in song:

Yeah. That was supposed to be: Who cares? Why, why, why does this keep coming up again?

Dirty Dancing? What did I ever do to you?
Lipsniger maybe, but is she a cross-bencher?
—Kevin Rudd
That is fucking priceless.
I assume they’ll meet at Scores and compare notes on the talent.
Excuse me, it was actually Nick Xenophon who said it.
OMFG is Nick Xenophon a lipsniger now? Does Missy know about this? They would be so beautiful together. No pokies though, naughty…
Oh thread of great delight that knowest no wane
The comments have begun to flow again
How long for Missy will the googlers look
For goss on her proclivities, in vain?
The moving fingers type and, having writ
Move on to more impiety and wit
Like Missy’s fingers on the ivories
And Missy’s finger on some other bit
OMG how can youse, &c.
You’re a real mensch, Omar.
Here with a loaf of bread beneath the bough
A flask of wine, a book of verse and thou
Beside me singing in great Central Park
But sad to say, I cannot meet you now
Scores:
scores of scores,
sores from Scores;
Scorsese’s sore!

Senator Xenophon: “If I had a choice between meeting Missy Higgins or me I’d rather meet Missy Higgins,” he joked.
Here speaks a man fully cognisant of paradox, from the land of Zeno, et al. Can a Senator meet himself? Can a young-Senator meet himself as old-Senator? Can the tortoise defeat Achilles in a running race?
Is motion impossible? For the arrow, before travelling a distance L, must first travel a distance L/2; and before that a distance L/4, etc and each of these traversings take a finite time yet there are infinitely many of them, so the total time for the arrow’s trip must be infinite. Hence motion is impossible.
Did I mention Senator Xenophon?
STR8 is as STR8 does;
Rushes back to hotel
And phones the missus

An op-shopper?
A vintage op-shopper might be something of an equivalent to a lipsniger…
Mark – I think, given the persistent popularity of this inane post, you should be considering another: Is Missy Higgins butch, femme or andro? Lipstick? Diesel? Capable of writing songs even?
Herissy! All hail the resurgence of the IMHAL thread!!
An op-shopper I once knew was able
To spot folks, and class them, by label.
She’d invite them to stop,
Play indie-rock-pop,
Then she’d flog their old clothes on a table.
…
(sorry)
A stray reader sets off the trigger
For a thread to get bigger and bigger
A topic quite pissy
On our little Missy
And the question, “does she lipsniger?”
(also sorry)
My inner voice had me back here. I thought it might be the condemn thread, but it is something even better.
It is “teen bitch with attitude” time.
Whooaahh!
Bring back M’donna.
five sixty fifth !!!
Five!
Six six!
Somewhat less than the number of the Beast!!!
have no fears on that (beastly) score.
We’ll get there. Even young Adrien, who takes a very dim view:
“given the persistent popularity of this inane post”
is helping to keep the tally ticking along, edging towards the Number of the Beast
I was slow to come to this thread
Didn’t care who she took to bed
But sad to relate
Here is 568
Another post best left unread
Aw but

sound, oh yeah
570.
I propose a lipsniger lotto – owner of post 666 gets a prize. Unless somebody else proposes something better, I offer an unopened packet of scotch finger biscuits (nails trimmed, of course).
Gonna be
mighty huge
reluctance to write
numbers 664 and 665,
David
But who, your Honour, in any real sense, “owns” a post? Is it that motley bunch, the LP Collective? Is it the publisher? Is it, at many removes, the Microsoft Corporation? Is it the poster herself? Is she a lesbian? [sorry, your Worship: got a bit carried away. No, I don't mean to suggest that your Honour got carried away, your Highness; not at all! The very thought!!] Does the even motleyer crew: those rapscallions who POST, reply, deate, sneer, question, criticise, send rejoinders and rebuttals; are they ALL not – in a very real sense – the owners? For if there were not a 665, could there be a 666? And if not a 664, a 665? And we may follow the regress back, as your Honour indicates he has already done, to “FRIST!”
Well, it’s technical jargon, Your Spoilsport, that we hardly need concern ourselves with.
666 will just be some smartarse saying “First!!!!”
I ate a scotch finger biscuit just now. Hurry up and post before I finish the packet!
This can’t go on, I must inform the law…
This is still going?
Sam, what do you think of M’donnas ex-husband’s comment that curling up to her was like curling up to a “lump of gristle”, that he wasn’t allowed to eat sausage at Xmass and she used to sleep in a plastic baggy thing to lose weight, wearing tonnes of cold cream stuff?
Do you think being married to Jennifer Hewitt would be like this?

Actually Liam, the site is ok for the music itself- oddly, goes surpringly close to the real essence of blues- someone somewhere just singing a song about how they feel.
I found it really hard to post on this thread when I was on dial-up with Windows 98. Now that I have Windows 2000 and am on broadband I can read all the comments and see what I was missing out on. 88 to go to 666. (Or have I proved my numerical incompetence by miscounting?)
Well, Paul, I think 88 would take you to
669,
= Six soixante-neuf
but the agreed target is the number of the Beast,
not a beasting fine, long night of debauchery, you cad!
Wash your abacus out with soap young feller-me-lad.
84 and counting….
Gobble.
?? you’re not a turkey !!
Ghost,
If I have to explain it ….
What is Missy doing these days?
Paul, better not to explain it, let’s keep the thread clean, eh?
Mindy, perhaps Missy is just quietly biding her time, waiting for the big
666
OR: the big
six 69 ??
if she’s following the arithmetical methodology of Paul Burns

If I remember rightly I was the only person ever to get a minus mark in an open book stats exam in Environmental Studies (which I enrolled in way back then because of my interest in archaeology). Clearly, my maths have not improved.
stats? lotsa folk have trouble with that, even plenty of folk who are most definitely not turkeys! As clearly you are not.
Gaius, great to have you back. So your departure was but a temporary matter? tempus fugit, old son. Let me just go and cancel my “vale”. All hail.

That great number of the beast.
This post I send now,
It doesn’t have to be alone,
We’ll get there somehow, ‘cos
I know I know I know
Even 500 feels small.
But we will learn to love this foolishness we share,
So we can all compete to get scotch fingers.
And in this travesty, together we will rise,
In the six hundreds, and sixty six more
It’s really no chore…
Oh, I’ve made a horrible error.
Higgins, as it turns out, is an *Irish* name, not a scottish one. So the whole joke of scotch finger biscuits doesn’t work.
However, the prize is still valid including postage to anywhere in Australia, with an extra bit of generosity included (I will buy a brand new packet, since this packet is now a few more bickies short). This is, of course, what happens when the nearest shop is out of ginger nuts.
ohmigod
a brand new unopened packet??? That’ll have the posters flocking. Well offerred, sir!
Happy 4th birthday, epic Missy Higgins Thread!
Almost 600 comments …
Can almost get there on my own …
Auto-moderation will kick in at some point …
Damn … there it is … happy missy higgins day, everyone …
Allow me to urbanely step over you and hit the 600 mark.
The central question still remains unanswered does it not?
And why should we care?
Because we still can.
Only 2000 comments to go to take out Australia’s Thread of Doom Blue (very blue) Riband.
Sorry, Nabs. The Cat one hit 3,500 before it brought the server down and we had to start a new one. That one then hit 2,442. Add to that the 479 on the first one and there is a while to go yet, I am afraid.
Well I’m glad someone was keeping count WITHOUT GOING TOTALLY COMPLETELY DIAMOND NANO-ROD CRAZY!
Nabs,
I think the current one is depleted uranium. OTOH, it could be martian pyramids. I get confused.
In the spirit of 2009 this thread should be replaced with a ‘Is Hugh Jackman Gay?’ thread.
“I get confused.”
LIAR! YOU ARE FAKING IT! GUTLESS TROJAN HORSE LIAR!
Actually I’ve had a soft spot for the inglorious Bird right from the start. In fact I was there at the start and I believe I was the first person to suggest he get a blog – and point him at various options.
And the rest is history. MARTIAN HISTORY!
What distingushs Graeme from yer common or gardern crank is that he is actually a very original prose stylist, does have a sense of humour and interesting taste in music (big George Clinton fan).
However he also has the social intelligence and general public graces of a warthog on acid.
Bloglife is richer for GMB’s presence. But not on my lawn.
Also the fact his brain blew up years ago and he never noticed does tend to mitigate against him as a productive interlocutor.
My @601 comment was actually @600 when first posted. Something smells rotten here.
I’m taking this to the Hague. Or at least to UNCLE (United Nations Commission for Lackadaisical Entries).
And when do we get subjected to ‘The Man From UNCLE’ big screen adaption?
On Windows 95 I couldn’t read this thread without putting it through the printer view thing. Now I can. See, times change.
Missy’s back.
The Ceiling Cat’s in Her Ceiling
and all’s right with the world.
thanks to PC for ‘ceiling cat’.
I can’t believe that we’ve gotten to 4 years, over 600 comments and we still don’t have an answer. What’s Missy up to these days anyway?
Mindy, the answer is immaterial. The question is all:
“This is the thread that has no end,
It just goes on and on my friend…”
No doubt she’s snigering the lips off that other lesbian, “Just” James McConvill. Now WTF ever happened to him?
You couldn’t trust him as far as you could throw your DVD of Ghost, Herr von Röfl. I expect he’s outside a few red wines and having a walk on the beach. Or perhaps enjoying a drive to the gym.
Wow.
That McConvill’s quite the thinker.
Or perhaps he’s enjoying a generous slice of Sachermasochtorte with his latte, Señor Lmao.
Singing, in Kombis. (at about 12-13″)
Oh boy here we go again. I’m beginning to think the eternal recurrence of this thread is best understood with a Freudian approach. Evidence of deep-rooted subconscious fetishes.
Adrien old bean, would you mind leaving that “deep-rooted” outside: hang it up on the peg next to your cloak. Do you mind, old chap?
That’s better.
Yes you’re right, Della’s getting to me. Sorry.

Nothing can stop this thread. NOTHING!
I had to. I just had to.
There’s this story about a very long lived sparrow wearing down a mountain to dust by brushing it with the tip of his wing once a year … after which eternity has just begun.
A bit like this thread.
Or, Paul Burns
the French suggestion that the English had a deficient concept of “eternity” which they remedied by inventing Test Cricket.
Adrien,
venn vill you learning? You don’t hef to make mit der schmutty innuendo, for ze reader to gain wealthings of smut und innuendo from zese sings, OK?

Yep, it’s still here. Still not achieving consensus. And at only 627 comments, still just a barely nubile thread of doom.
Perhaps some thread embedded meta tags would help here?

Oh bloody hell. Okay okay okay. I’m not a lesbian. I’m attracted to fruit. Butch fruit. Happy now?
Missy Higgins, is it really you? Gush! Gush!
Heard a Missy number at or around the closing credits of NCIS last night.
And a Ben Lee number on the S/T to Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo.
I don’t think I have to spell out what that means…
Of course it’s me. Who else would it be? I’ve got to go. There’s a pear here and it’s looking pretty good.
“Missy Higgins” was me btw. Sorry couldn’t resist. I should state that ‘Missy Higgins’ bears absolutely no relationship to the actual Missy Higgins and I’m sure she enjoys fruit only the way the rest of us do.
Nice pear !!
All boring and so what – in French, if you prefer – as anything ever written under the sun. The thread of meaninglessness.
Ah, but hasn’t it become so profound and gripping now that you’re here philmaro?
Heh – the IMHL thread collects another of Ozblogistan’s Complete Loons. FTW, Missy!
Still missing the Strocchibot, but.
Missy, I didn’t see you in the Middle Pub at Rosewood on Sunday. Were you in a meeting with Kevin Rudd?
Sorry Paul, I had something earnestly urgent to publically enthuse about. Obviously needed a ’sniger to make up the numbers.
Bono is a celebrity of unusually narcissistic tendencies but not, I think, a lesbian.
Missy, I didn’t see you in the Middle Pub at Rosewood on Sunday. Were you in a meeting with Kevin Rudd?

He won’t leave me alone! And he keeps dressing up like a prune. I told him I like peaces, pears and cherries. Not plums! The wood’s too scratchy.
Not so fast Fyodor. You tainted tainted pirate. There is me. I have never been to this place. Neither me, nor the other me who I am not supposed to be in fact. But enough of your golden sword. It’s all rapacity to you. Now. a word to the Goddess:
My truest of true faces. We have never been so close. Goddess, goddess, how long have I longed to see you, its been so long that in my longing I never long thought it take so long in the day, in the night, the years. And longer. And now only a few comments apart. But you are all Latin, Goddess. You have spat the truth at them again Fortuna. Told them their fates. I don’t see Johnny Depp doing a French Pirate. And he corners the market on pirates. French suckifies for the love of Venus coming out of a shell looking like Sam Fox with 80’s hair. Who but you could have dreamed that one up?
Frickin hells that only men could make. Poncing about with French on blogs shrivels up the already febrile brains ruined with dreams of leftism you don’t really dream you bunch of idiots. We are the way. But not the Philip Travers way. Though he wrote the most spectacular line I ever saw on this blog I must say. So, why not, I give myself permission to hate anything that comes my way if it doesn’t agree with me today.
I could only go in your going and return in your returning. But, don’t worry. I am gone. I too love Adrien. No I hate him. Yes I love him. Just like you. Or, erm, was that Adrian? Fuck. Who are we up to now? Never mind. Everyone is a fucker. And now an Andalusian poem on swords and udders and shit:
The sky darkens:
flowers open their mouths
and search for their udders
of the nurturing rain
as battalions of black
water-laden clouds
parade majestically past
flashing their golden swords.
Ibn Shahayd (992-1034, Cordoba)
Magnificent, Casey.
Quand je vous aimerai? Ma foi, je ne sais pas…
My heart is broken at that dreadful deception.
Good fucking God.
Casey, you ridiculous champ.
“Who are we up to now?”
Errr…. I think it’s probably Birdie’s turn again.
St Brigid in a brothel, I declare we have a late entrant!
Yes, enough of my rapacious sword.
Nice try, Caseynova, but you’ll have to try a damn sight harder to podium in the Complete Loon category. I suggest monetary economics, xenoarchitecture, ethnic politics or the musical theatre of Lerner & Loewe as potential monomaniai.
Gold star for effort, however. [h/t to Run DV of the ForBottle! crew]
Also, you’re dead wrong about French pirates.
Not nuts enough? Youse guys. All those youtube escapades over the years. I love youse all. But enough of love and other bruises. Meanwhile, as this thread has gone on and on, Michael McGurk lived and died, my friends, and taped everyone in the world, while praying and holding meetings at St Mary’s Cathedral. IMO, just for that praying in the cathedral, he should be memorialised on this thread also. Do not be surprised if an albino called Silas comes forward any minute with further information.
Now about Missy, it’s not about her. Let me tell you this from my years of experience on nothing in particular that it’s about a darker darker issue. Yes, we all love each other until we start to get close to 666. Then it gets ugly. You know, for four years we have been waiting for 666. At 666 there is only hate people. But you should know we are now only 19 comments away and that 666 is mine. I have offered sacrifices to entities and shit. So don’t mess wit me.
Missy Higgins is a lesbian. What other explanation can there be? Who can resist a clever clever clever PM who speaks Mandarin and looks really hot dressed in a prune suit?
.
It’s not fair
Wicca points to 666, nay claims it.
666 = 2 X 3 X 3 X 37
Wicca must prove her kinship with 37, otherwise her beastly claim falls.
Ibn Al Jebr
Basra
Did you get the rude kitties, Casey?
At 666 this thread will explode. Because it’s actually made of explosives. Ask Daggett.
Thank you Laura. You might be pleased to know the cancer badge man does not look so scared anymore. He is used to me talking to the fence now. And it is apt that you link to this, because I was thinking that the big champagne boy might not be gay but just a bit sniggery.
Trapping arrangements continue. The champagne boy still tries his luck, but to be fair to him, he actually has no idea he has to do something after he hops on board and starts biting necks. He gets off all confused most of the time. Poor thing – to have nature drive you to do something, but not tell you just yet what it is you actually want to do. The kittens still look pleased with themselves though. Further updates on your site later…
You know…
It is very late Helen
No one is around….
And cause, like, I’m wicked….
I’d like to see it explode…like Daggett imagines the towers dropped
Will no one stop me????

Try that
Helen, woman, have you jammed me? Dagnabbit. I had a spell going. Now I’ve been stuck at 657 for the past five posts. The oracles said I would have 666. You cannot stop me. I am too powerful!
Aw comeon angel. Let me go. I will buy you chocolates and flowers when you come to Sydney next?
I don’t care what your numbering system says. You can’t change REALITY
It’s like you are god or something is it? Just changing the laws of nature, of numbers just to suit you. Well I know what I know. And Im close.
You are going to take this spot arent you? I will get up tomorrow and you will have it.
No play fair LP.
Oh fuck. Now look at that. What a waste. You finally give me the number and I don’t use it to destroy the world but to complain about the lack of democracy on this thread. Bugger.
Wow Casey, it’s like you are really her, man. The Method! Certainly sucked me in once, didn’t it?

Well, now that we’ve gone past 666 when’s the debbil coming?
Wicca at667 is most poetic.
We reach out to grasp the prize and it crumbles to dust. The number of the Beast passed her by.
But then there’s 999 coming up on a thread near you.
And when we reach the low 900s, there’ll be a dispute about whether it’s 1000 or 1001 that’s the true Millenium Post.
cheerio
The devil went out with Georgia.
Barack Obama is a lesbian.
Missy Higgins is insufficiently vigilant about the evils of communism. So too is the Fishing Show on ABC Brisbane Local Radio at 5am on Saturday mornings.
Damn, girl, when you fall off the wagon, you take a running start. Wyrd, Wicca Woman.
Gerard, while you’re here, a question if I may.
Why?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTvWfP2uizE
Am I late? Oh fuck. Well, I’ll be lipsniggered.
Any of you lot left behind, hey sleepyheads, I’m talking to you. Is Missy Higgins …
Alright, alright. You may laugh you patriarchal coterie of Youtube snakes. Roger Jones you are too nice to be here. Get out of here. Honest to god Fyodor, I mean, WTF is Xenoarchitecture? Who and what are you? AND, It wasn’t my evil powers wot failed last night. ‘They’ just held the space until I said something inane then gave it to me. To make me look stupid. And so it worked. Well, I suspect Helen has not enough power for this world saving. But that dark master Bahnisch reports on facebook he was watching a falling star at the time I was conjuring my way to 666. Yeah, well convenient innit? Probably got a bazooka out to hurry it along. I see you Obi Wan. Those latin rites won’t work again you know.
Anyways enough witcheries for this year. 999 will be mine and I will collapse this thread, next series. I just need to go flay some men first.
Yobbo at #634, that was very funny. Not as funny as Casey, but then nobody is.
Your Feyness
Bring back Casey!
Oh. She is back. Good!
(oops)…you are in supernaturally good form, Casey.
Is Obama a lesbian, Paul? Dunno. But he’s definitely a geek.

funny??
I say I admire a nice pear, and youse call me “funny”?
Not the reaction I was expectin’
Still, I’ll say it again, ’cause to my way of thinkin’ :
nice pear
‘n I don’t care who knows I’m a pear-fancier.
Have a good weekend, everyone.
I’ve got pears to toddle off ‘n fancy.
My latest album’s a concept album. I’m recording tonight.
It’s the story of how I found a boyfriend but I didn’t feel right.
So I found a girlfriend but she wasn’t for me.
But, Oh! her bowl of mango-peaches and the paw paws…
Whoopee!
Moniker at #682 made me laugh.
Is Missy Higgins any relation to Roy?
Having commenced nominally on-topic, I now segue to my main point, which is that I’m currently at odds of $16 in Race Seven in Melbourne tomorrow, which is very good value considering how I won my last two weight-for-age races, and who I beat in them. Dr. Norton will vouch for the fact that he won $400 in February on a treble which included me in the first leg.

Truth be told I’ve never before now heard of Missy Higgins. Still don’t have a clue who she is or what she says or sounds like.
What’s to miss?
lipsnigering
This seems somehow a propos:

SECRET HINT: You have to keep watching in order to get the joke. I once saw Bottom/Pyramus do this for… well I don’t want to spoil it.
“Truth be told I’ve never before now heard of Missy Higgins. Still don’t have a clue who she is or what she says or sounds like.”
Yeah, look Goddess. If I’m going to continue to worship you and try to be like you and quote obscure poetry from the 1200’s, you have cover your tracks when you tell porkers. Cause if you don’t know Missy Higgins, its twice you haven’t known her now. Upthread, that’s you Wolfie, talking to the talking horse between 450 and 500 or so. Now save your thunderbolts for a stupid man that needs it. In fact, I have a flayed man sacrifice for you in the corner over there. But I think you have higlighted a weakness in this thread. I don’t think anyone has actuallly linked to Missy who is orright. Better than the Veronicas I reckon.

See? What’s wrong with the line “She who dares to stand where I stood”??? Oh dear.
Now Goddess, on the History of Lipsniger, cause no one has ever defined it for the many who have travelled here to ask:
At comment 87 we have someone called Shelly who says this: “i think missy higgins is a lesbian and a lipsniger at that bye”
Shelly mispelt lipsyncer (and I am not sure this word even exists). And so some undefined sexual preference was born which has been bandied about for four years now. Nobody knows who a lipsniger sleeps with, but my view is that “lipsniger” stands in for a trisexual. Laura put lipsinger in the Urban Dictionary of Slang even. You should read the thread in its entirety. It gives a unique history of LP itself, with all the many briliant and witty commenters – some of which have gone and some who are still around. It’s quite a beloved repository of just how clever some of LP’s commenters and bloggers are.
“Laura put lipsinger in the Urban Dictionary of Slang even.”
She did. And I do not know if it has been mentioned here before- ever so likely on this charmingly longwinded thread- but it is even possible to buy a mug with the definition on it for 19.95 dollars U.S.
Missy Higgins would probably be more a cup person ,though, I suspect.
http://www.zazzle.com/custom_urban_dictionary_mug-168421401815798969
It was of course “lipsniger” that Laura posted in The Urban Dictionary and not “lipsinger”. What is it about der spellin’ in da coven?
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lipsniger
Hit… “get this def on a mug Mug”.
I have always thought it was part of the joke that Shelly not only misspelled lipsyncer or lip-syncer or lip-syncher — what in my day we called miming — but that she was also committing, as it were, an eggcorn: that she and many, many like her aren’t familiar with synch short for synchronise, and therefore call it lip-singing because that is familiar and makes sort of sense. After that, she made the typing error that turned it into sniging. I would add to Casey aka WiccaX3’s intriguing identification of trisexuality as a defining feature that the sexual practices involved clearly have a lot to do with lips, possibly also with sniggering.
But perhaps I’m over-reading.
“eggcorn”
That’s a fine new creation from those cunning linguists P.C.!
Yes PC all that is true and far more nuanced than my explanation. It’s wrought with all sorts of twists and turns resulting from that word she wrote. Shelly also aligns the depravity of lipsnigering with lesbianism. One could say she is a little miscreant and not very nice really, but she has spawned a fascination with the word “lipsniger”. I’m sure this thread would have sunk into oblivion if not for the all the snigering which has taken place here. I don’t think you are over reading. Clearly you should do a post on the sniger and it’s root meanings, as it were.
Unmoderate me you Gods!
Damn. Would you look at that. Not only did I stuff up 666. I also missed the fact I got 700. It is now clear to me that I have been afflicted with an idiocy spell. I shall return to my magics and find an incantation to increase my IQ.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/trisexual
note the adjectival form of the word at definition no. 2.
All this talk about lipsnigering and no one’s mentioned bilabial fricatives.

Fine #691, since the climate’s now well and truly in an El Nino pattern I think bro Fiumi’s in for a lean spring. Bro Efficient is shaping up OK and so’s li’l bro Precedence.
Whoby and I have had a few quiet discussions back at the stable about how the spring’s going to pan out for us, but you’ll all just have to wait and see how our storyline unfolds. I would have finished ahead of him on Saturday except my silly jocket managed to make me run 1900 metres in an 1800 metre race.
Big Mal, you were fantastic on Saturday. Especially for a horse who is still, shall we say, looking a trifle portly. Do you think you’ll be doing your best in the Caulfield Cup or the Cox Plate? I know Caulfield holds some dreadful memories for you. A certainty beaten, two years ago. Methinks the man who pretends to be your boss (but we know who really runs the show), might head you in that direction again. I also hope you had a firm word in your jockey’s ear after the race. But, I imagine Hot Rodd will be renewing your partnership if you go to the Caulfield Cup. But who will he pick in the Cox Plate?
Efficient, btw, is definitely my tip at this stage for the big one. His dapple grey coat is blooming and he has a very keen look in his eye.
“What’s to miss”
I’m glad you asked. I am really good at bland ponderous songs that have little by way of eloquence or hooks about my most inner feelings and experiences with fruit.
I take excepton to that. Though bland, ponderous, having little by way of eloquence or hooks and about my most inner feelings, at least one of her songs is concerned with experiences involving other items of plant anatomy than fruit.
That’s true dagnabbit. That Aw-zie bitch is stealin’ mah ideas for songs about potato chip. I bet she never gets fan mail sayin’ ‘Britney you keep saying you’re loneliness is killin’ you, well we want it to hurry the fuck up and get it over with!’
Oh why can’t you Leave Missy Higgins alone…
Now the Spears sheila: she appeals to the pear-fancier.
Look at the name for crying out loud:
PEAR with two curvy S’s, one on each side of the PEAR.
Practically pearfect I’d reckon.
The other bit, the “Britney”, well take it or leave it I sez.
Fine #707, it’s true I’m not quite down to a svelte 570 kilograms, but we’re working on it. There’s a theory going around that I can’t run 2400 metres so I wouldn’t mind putting that story to rest sooner rather than later.
Missy Higgins and Britney Spears pah!
.
I’m different. I’m the interesting one. Because basically I’m the same soft porn star with the pap crap for songs but I wear really weird shit and named myself after one of Queen’s worst songs. Now isn’t that interesting? I’m greater than the Beatles.
Gaga?
nuh, I can’t see a pear in yer moniker, yer outa contention.
Steer clear of the porn shops Gaga, ya’ll never get ya stuff back.
Point of order: is that Sam Ward or an impostor?
Yairs, seems out of character or something.
ahem,
didn’t know the nickname was already copyrighted by been on the web. I am not now ‘n never wuzz Sam Ward. outta charactoer coz not ‘im.
Hey I never said a white girl can’t sing the Blues. I jus’ said when that white girl sings it gives me the Blues. Now spin some Bessie Smith.
Ain’t singin’ shit ’til somebody gits me mah gin!
Or heroin?
Christsakes y’all, yer stuck in de poverty of da Soul. Try this girl.
She white. She ‘Stralian. And she can sing the Blues. Hell she ain’t e’en got herself a record contract.
These girls are useless
Especially Lady Gaga
They don’t stand for anything

Fyodor #66:
She goes one better than that!
ha this looks like fun
Can i play?
daggett, there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that Missy is not a lesbian, and/or doesn’t have breathtaking taste in girlfriends.
It is simply ludicrous that you and your fellow Missy Truthers fail to acknowledge what Missy herself publicly acknowledged years ago.
(please join in with this…you KNOW you’re this thread’s only chance at regaining its rightful crown – a crown, btw, which you impudently stole to reign over a thread of far lesser quality these last two months, and to bore people humourless via witless drudgery and repetition)
Impressive memory, Norto. Did I fecking call it, or what?
She totally lipsnigered the Indigo Girls, and I’ve got 2.25 seconds of dodgy YouTube video to prove it.
Oh Fyodor, Prince of Stoushers, industrious Slayer of Spurious posts (in another place), pray bring you not to This Thread the Chosen Weapon of he whose name must not be uttered; spare us from more dodgy videos; hesitate to Sully and Besmirch your own lustrous name.
He would only accuse you of lying, and wheel out a High School Singing Teacher of dubious merit.
What’s the word they invented that describes a Google search that only yields one result? Anyhow, if you Google lipsnigered you get only one result.
If this website was peopled by..er…shall I say…’younger folk’…there would be a urban dictionary page for lipsnigered by now.
Try ‘lipsniger’ instead, fb!
bugger beaten to it
Is this a non-too subtle attempt to make the Missy Higgins thread bigger than The Truth is Out There? Long way to go yet.
Howver, my friends from Torchwood tell me that, mathematically it can be done, so long as you take into account the time/space ratios. Theyu will investigate the whole matter seriously though if we start messing around with the rift.
OMFG!!!!
Okay, now I’ve seen the Indigo Girls, in passing, in the street, pointed out by my sister (a fan).
It seems what we have here is this situation:
>Missy is not only a lipsniger, but has cosied up with Their Holy Snigermeistresses Themselves for some 3-way snigering
>My sister is a lipsniger, hiding for years behind a succession of men, then a marriage, two sons and no discernible singing career
>My sister is my best original source for 9/11 reportage
I don’t even need to point out the significance of these findings.
EffDee
dat sounds mighty like yo is layin’ de bait to tempt de daggsterman off of his other two threads ‘n get him caught over heah in dis briar patch….
Ooh, ah wooden know nothin’ ’bout no fancy briar patch.
Oh no, jus de fine open plains, wit de sniggerin’ herds snufflin’ an’ snorting… dat’s enuff fo the likes o’ me.
LOL. Nick, thanks!
I apologise for the inference that LP was not young and hip enough to have urban dictionaried lipsniger.
[seems I searched 'lipsnigered', instead of 'lipsniger'. Google FAIL!]
Or as Jonathon Holmes is now wont to say. pwned!
I shall now retreat and ponder who on my Christmas shopping list is worthy of a lipsniger mug.
Not your fault, furious.
Whoever UD-ed it should have worked through the various parts of speech.
Lexicography was the first casualty of mass literacy.
Actually is Missy Higgins out there with the truth for it seems to me that truth is one of those subjects that invites discussion ad nauseum. And I am quite fascinated by the creation of lipsnigered from lipsniger which itself seems to have its roots (?) in the murky history of inter-blogging jokery. For example fyodor used it to describe Shappelle two and a half years ago here but shelly’s call @ 87 beats that by almost 18 months.
I bet there’s an earlier reference somewhere..
Maybe there is, David_H…just maybe there is…I heard a rumour (shh!) it contains a key to unlocking all of the internets…
DavidH – it was born right here on this hallowed thread, and Shelly was the unintentional coiner. I think we can probably credit Evil Pundit with making the decisive metacomment that nurtured it into wordhood.
Curious. So the truth isn’t out there it’s right here with her @92
Does it follow that anyone who uses the term is lipsnigered?
shickered, more likey
its difficult to imagine a sniger engaging in lipsnigery
FDB:
It’s actually 4-way snigering with Julie Wolf on piano accordion.
“shickered, more likey”
Hey, like i said…
*encrypted handshake*
sealed with a kiss ?
Lexicography Request:
“shickered” I got from my Kiwi grandfather, synonym for “drunk”.
Any confirmations from Aussies?
Yep, it’s pretty common. Wouldn’t remember where I first heard it as a child. Probably from grandparents or at the cricket club, which makes sense.
Never heard of shickered, I’d call that stonkered. Shickered sounds more like a the result of a boozy fight or argument, where a non-boozy fight would be called a shellacking.
Well you know,
Id love to be a shick on speed
Running every morning
Over blonde German faces
And shave, just shave
If I was a shick on pills
Id go in a discotheque
Run over dancefloor maces
And shave, shave again
Nice to be a shick on stick
Laying every morning
On the patchwork blanket on my bed
And shave and shave and shave
Now I am a shick on spleen
Cutting every morning
All my legs, all my head
Born to shave, only shave
(Shicks on Speed)
Ambigulous @ 748,
means getting well and truly drunk. Don’t think I’ve heard it since childhood. My father used to use it and he came out here from Leeds in England about aged 10 in 1920.
Thanks Nick & Paul Burns. Didn’t mean to provoke a jingle for razors
My grandfather used “stonkered” too. Good to hear both were used in Australia. One hesitates ever to use a word that might betray one’s Kiwi ancestry.
Well I’m disappointed. My nomination of lipsnigery was turned down by the urban dictionary. They did however accept such unimaginative terms as “indoorsman” and “automagically”.
Lipsnigery a poem…
As mistakes are wont
your birth did bless
this world and its constituents
the salacious imagery
of lipsnigery.
But I hear the doubters
scoff and heap more scorn
for their thread is worn
not by mirth or simple fun
shadows ever longer blight their sun.
Tis true they number more
in both counts of words
and those who bear swords
but perfidy and mystery
pales compared to lipsnigery.
‘Lexicography was the first casualty of mass literacy.’
Oh FDB, we are not worthy.
Furious, ’shickered’ is a relatively inoffensive term from a gentler era, when it was one of the most common euphemisms for what my wilfully ungenteel father and others simply called ‘full’. Or, in extremis, ‘full as a boot’.
Another one was ‘pissed as a fart’, but that might have been a bit later. Not sure where I picked it up.
I remember both well, PC and Paul. As well as ‘full as a bull’ and ‘full as a goog’, as in egg.
# 728 – now there’s an idea. The Greens should have run Missy in the current by-elections. Not only far more popular with the voters of the future than Clive Hamilton, but the clue’s in the name really.
The Prahran end of the electorate might be up for a little lipsnigging.
I’m jusht up the road in Goldshtein. Yup, Higgins can get lipsnigered and we’ll all get shickered.
And if Missy really did run, we could exchange a pretend $weetie for a real Sweetie

After Our Tone has organised the Royal Commission into Ian Plimer, as requested by Senator Fielding, this looks like just the ticket.
A Royal Commission into Unnatural Sexual Preferences Amongst
ParliamentariansSingers.C’mon Tone, you know you want to!
Paul…first blush, No Way! But a worthy candidate for a bit of random net searchery
Ambigulous, that’s a big ask. Our Tone mightn’t measure up. What would Pyney say?
No you have misunderstood the purpose of the Royal Commission….
“Mr Speaker, I have been most grievously misrepresented!”
This is a contest Tone would not wish to win.
When I was working at a Melbourne CBD customer-service centre 3 years back, a few of the girls there had known Missy from school, and noted (spoilers, but since the thread title asks about her sexuality directly) she was a big anal fan. Knowing this has certainly made her videos more entertaining for me. Good on you, Larvatus Prodeo!
No, good on you Bogan, for raising the tone a little.
A big anal fan, huh?
Could be handy when your arse is as hot as mine.
Actually, I think the implication that she was an anal fan suggested that she liked guys (and maybe gals – this thread has certainly offered food for thought) giving it to her up the khyber, rather than indicating that she had any particular fetish for tossing guy’s salads / tying the balloon knot together with her teeth / re-enacting the Khan Tusion banned-in-Oz video ORAL CONSUMPTION backstage with a hairy coterie of admirers. This would make the quality of my arse kind of a moot point FDB though if Missy was involved, would I be able to say no? I guess the appeal of mysteries is that we will never truly know the answer. To that, I say, Larvatus Prodeo, I never would have pondered whether Missy Higgins was a lesbian until you guys brought it up!
