In which the pond visits the land of bushwhackers and dry gulchers for a three way shoot out between the good Peta, the ugly Leyonhjelm and the bad Malware ...


It's only by coincidence that the pond has been checking out the HBO version of Westworld lately, with some regret, because it's not much to the pond's taste, being aimed more at the ten year old boy and Donald Trump demographic, fixated on women's breasts and the groping thereof ...

But it reminded the pond that it liked the concept of a fair fight ...


The Devine doing over David Morrison is more like one of the massacre scenes in Westworld ...


No, the pond doesn't have the stomach for that sort of bile this day.

The pond was after a fair fight, and Peta seemed to offer the best chance of seeing gunslingers Malware and the lyin' lion helmsman cop both barrels ...unless the helmsman's off watching cops die in agony ...


Yes, that's more like it ...



And with a lever action too ...

Poor Malware has been copping it of late ...


No need for a shoot-out when you can drygulch sidewinders and make a hearty profit from it by investing in coffin nails ...

The reptiles tried to put the onion muncher in his place ...


But the Fairfaxians were determined to spin it, and keep the contender in the ring (well if you can't mix metaphors, what's the point of living?) or out in the street, six gun still ready to smoke ...


Snub? Moral win? It was all shaping up nicely for Peta to ride into town on her high horse, and in something of a state, and armed with her outrage ...




The good old lever action. Because... you know, the old wild west and snakes and varmints and Indians and such like in Pitt and Bourke street malls ...

Oh and the pond couldn't resist that STFU tweet and right above it, a prime example of the comedy stylings of David Leyonhjelm ...


After politics, surely there's going to be a grand career in sitcoms or stand-up... in the West Tamworth Leagues club, or perhaps as a warm-up in Showgirls ...


Eek, there in the shadows, under the verandah, a lone wolf ...


Now can we take out Leyonhjelm with a big bang?


By golly, that's a hit, a veritable hit ...


And so to a chance for the smoking of peace pipes, and an exchange of wampum, and a promise not to go on the warpath, at least until the next episode of Westworld, when the robots run amok ...


Yes, yes, Malware and the onion muncher, easy choices and blood brothers thanks to the chanunpa ...

Hang on, hang on, what are we going to do about the storyline for the next episode? Can we have some pure chaos, a vengeful riding in the whirlwind, with plenty more shootings ...


Oh please, no alarmism, Ms Murphy ...

Abbott v Turnbull is not just politicians being politicians – two testosterone-fuelled bulls stomping in a paddock – this is an identity struggle, and a multi-pronged one. Even as the Turnbull government exhibits signs of getting its act together organisationally, and practically – it remains riven by factional differences and philosophical ones. 
One sensible and measured government MP who watched on in horror in the chamber during Thursday’s events later told me the dynamic could escalate into a complete split, “conservatives against liberals, where absolute chaos reigns”. (here).

No, no, no, we're just doing a plotting session for the next episode of Westworld ...

Might the pond humbly suggest that the next shoot-out between Malware and the onion muncher be about who's fucked the country in the finest style on other matters the pair pretended to sort out ...


Yes Peta, tell us about that one, and how about this one too, with Truffles and the onion muncher working together ...

    Another of John Brownings' famous designs, this shotgun was first developed in 1887 by demand of a repeating shotgun for lawmen and cowboys to use. To many, two shots was not enough firepower for a scatter gun and a repeating shotgun was required to get the job done. ..
