In which the pond joins the Stone fish in gathering moss ...


As the wise savvy Savva noted only this morning, haters gunna hate, and for lunch the pond thought it should dine out on the Stone fish ... one false step amongst the coral, and you're a goner ... as Bill Bryson once noted ...

[Australia] has more things that will kill you than anywhere else. Of the world’s ten most poisonous snakes, all are Australian. Five of its creatures – the funnel web spider, box jellyfish, blue-ringed octopus, paralysis tick and stonefish – are the most lethal of their type in the world.

Ah, the Stone fish, it'll get you every time, even if it's an old, old theme in reptile la la land, and the google did a spoiler by revealing the Stone fish solution ...


Yes, assorted reptiles turn up on a weekly, possibly daily basis, to sing from the same song sheet, call for the return of the onion muncher - because we can never see enough onions being munched - and induce despair in the savvy Savva ...

 

So why not drag out a man born in January 1929 - so the pond Greg Hunted here - to pronounce on the need to assassinate Malware. 

Not that the pond is ageist, being of an age. It understands that the reptile demographic is 60+, and rapidly skewing towards 80+, and there's a business model with a real future ...


So it's time to join the Stone in gathering lots of woolly moss ...


So Alexander is a goner, and the savvy Savva's coaching is for naught, and the solution is the return of the onion muncher?

And the pond is right to keep the onion muncher in its banner, because some stupid people still think he's the messiah rather than a prime loon?
What's interesting is the way that the inexhaustible reptiles manage to discover such a regular supply of fantasists ...

It would be remiss of the pond, having led with that double bunger google splash a little earlier, not to explore the lizard Oz story that turned up just below the one by the Stone fish ...

It was by a Fitzgerald of the deep north ...


There was a lot of carry-on about the NEG that followed, but then Fitzgerald turned to the usual data, and skewed it in a way that hinted that it might be wise to bring back the onion muncher. 

Oh he wasn't so brazen and bold as the Stone fish, but he even thought Pauline's mob might do good business in Wentworth, because the onion muncher was still the man ...


Of course since that piece ran in the lizard Oz, the onion muncher has suffered a few statistical blows ...


And he keeps on getting in trouble ...



And when he takes to twitter to defend himself, he gets his ears soundly boxed ...


And that was just the beginning of the abuse, but the pond had to draw a line, because it had almost forgotten to serve up the last two pars of the Stone fish, though the eyes were looking a little glazed, suggesting the fish might not be as fresh as proposed by the fishmonger ...


Throw out Malware today and instal the onion muncher and Bennelong will be won, and by the way, the dog botherer is right?

The pond urges the lizard Oz to keep going this way. Comrade Bill has his problems, but ditching Malware for the onion muncher might be the final black knight triumph he now rather badly needs ...

What a top Stone fish offering ... please, reptiles consider your demographic and your business plan and step on this Stone fish more often ...

The pond consoles itself by thinking that it could be worse. There might be delusional dummies who think the onion muncher is a way forward, rather than a way back to coal, copper and the nineteenth century, just as they did in the United States, and look what happened there ... as David Rowe noted this day, with more Rowe here ...

  1. Laser-like, rapier wisdom.

    Where can Shaun Warnock get a gig please? I often wonder if Abbott actually sees these responses from public. Similarly with Chris Kenny. There's always an avalanche of logic and correction whenever they drop a stupid bomb such as that.

    "Time to get out and write a poison memoir" Indeedy do!

  2. The Old Stone: "So when the Queensland election results translated into a wholesale wipe-out of LNP incumbents ..."

    Que ? The LNP lost 5 seats (Aspley, Gaven, Maiwar, Noosa and Redlands) and gained 4 (Buderim, Bundaberg, Nickin, Pumicestone) for a net loss of 1 plus 2 redistributed seats became Labor for a total loss of 3. 3 out of a total of 42 prior to the election. Yep, that's a great big wholesale wipe-out alright.
