		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Is there some kind of critical mass of bad puns which will cause the thread to explode?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well I do believe this thread has probably reached a climax.

But if others want to jerk it back into life, then I wash my hands of the consequences.</description>

		<description>Is there some kind of critical mass of bad puns which will cause the thread to explode? I think that point (nudge, wink) has nearly been passed.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I am going to photoshop Ron Jeremy’s Schlong onto a photo of myself and send it out to the relevant tabloids.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So why not the other way around? *insert small and mildly blue one-liner here*

Frankly I think this whole thing is much ado about nothing. Though it's nice to see Family First weren't prepared to settle for some out there dick as a sine quah non for pricking the public's fancy.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Family First officials should get a good firm grip on themselves.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Easy for you to say. Harder for them to grasp.</description>

		<description>Shaun and All;
I'm disappointed.  We are going to be deprived of fiery debates in the House with spirited interjections of "Listen Donkey, your party doesn't even have a policy on this!"  or "Shut up, Shorty!" or "That's right; humungous ignorance to match your humungous donger".   Parliament will be bland and boring without Mr Quah.

Family First officials should get a good firm grip on themselves.   Human beings have all sorts of faults and frailties; angels are otherwise .... so, if they want to stay in politics, they had better get used to the difference.</description>

		<description>Hell, what kind of scrutiny is FF going for with their prospective candidates?

Surely, 'circumcision' is part of policy/scrutiny, for all member hopefuls. 
It might not be 'his', as he suggests.
It could be a green one, for instance.</description>

I really don't understand why people are mocking this. It is after all the most likely explanation for Mark Latham.</description>

		<description>Is it something within certain personalities that leads them to campaign for political office on morals while secretly indulging in behaviour that's exactly opposite to those morals? Not that I know what Quah's professed morals are, it just seems like it might be a trend.</description>

		<description>Anyone old enough to remember that pre-Cambrian TV game show "Tell the Truth" ?&lt;blockquote&gt;"Celebrity panel game show based on a US original in which the panel team had to guess which one of a trio of contestants was actually telling the truth about a given statement. George Foster was first host and then Mike Williamson (from 1965). Revived by the 10 Network in 1971 with Earle Bailey hosting."&lt;/blockquote&gt;

"Would the real Quah penis please stand up?"

Oh, guess not, It seems to be a Quahzi penis."

What a d...!

Seems 'FF' attracts very odd (Boom, boom!) *members*.</description>

Or why domestic violence is defined in one reputable source as "emotional, as well as s-xual or physical abuse of women in their homes by partners", despite the results of 122 scholarly investigations, 99 empirical studies and 23 analyses, with an aggregate sample size of over 77,000 respondents, demonstrating that women are in fact more likely to commit acts of domestic violence against their partners or children.  &lt;/blockquote&gt; You gotta click that link for the cartoon alone!
