An apology is probably in order for the absence of posting. In the wake of writing books and holding down day jobs, many of us have decided to decamp for foreign climes for some time. And some of us had no time to post because Skyrim. Now that some are back, expect a bit more frequency with the posting.
In the meantime, here is a list of things that happened that we could have written about, should we have had the motivation. Please feel free to add suggestions.
- Teenager arrested in Bali for purchasing marijuana.
- Bogans assume he is guilty
- Bogans then assume he is innocent
- Bogans decide to wait until he’s sold his story to 60 Minutes
- Shane Warne gets engaged
- Shane Warne burns finger
- Trashmedia pay equal attention to both events
- Interest rates dropped
- Bogans took the opportunity to lament how Tough they are Doing It
- Kyle Sandilands something something
- Andrew Bolt was found to be a racist in a court of law
- Bogans blame political correctness gone mad; claim loss of free speech
What else happened?

Arias something something
Earnest, educated types scream ‘racist’ (when they probably mean ‘culturalist’), then bogan claims ‘there is nothing wrong with xxxx, it’s not racist’ and the two sides blindly continue on, neither realising their lazy, loaded insight is meaningless and does nothing to further debate about anything.
Foney(phoney or Toney to the two friends he is reputed to still have)
Rabbit ( Or Abbott to his father confessor),
has gone completely ferral and should be hunted with 1,000,000 candle power spot light and a .243 with a 6 power scope.
He has been to change his direction like 180 degrees up to four times on the one subject in the one day. then has the gaul to complain that Malcolm Turnbull simply by opening his mouth, make him look like what he is.
Gerry Harvey has been fined 3.5 million for misleading advertising so willl heve to rip off another swag of bogans eager to walk into the showers.
and Rupert Murdochs press empire is so corupt now no one can even mention his name in a blog and it goes to moderation never to reappear. when any meglomanic power hungry owner of governments gets to a given size they realy are the single greatest threat to civilisation.
there thats my two bobs worth.
NO! .50 cal at point blank range, in broad daylight. Ooops, a large black car just pulled up in my drive….
I may not agree with all you say James Hunter, but I defend your right to say it with very poor spelling, barely comprehensible grammar and complete lack of punctuation.
Starting a sentence with and is not only an ‘in your face!’ to conventional education, but starting a new paragraph with it – as well as without a capital A – That’s just new age brillance.

ewxplain all that to anyone who will listen
Excellent comeback JH ………or should that be ewxcellent?
Is that the same thing you said to your English teacher?
My enlish teacher had nothing to do with my mishtakes
Go on, write something, I dare you. Our Mary (Princess Mary of Denmark), I saw the vox-pops of attendees at formal appearances. And … go !
Deni Hines was a cow on Celebrity Apprentice and was mean to Polly Porter (who bogans previously disliked cos she won The Block and every bogan knows they can do a better job if only their Block application was successful). The bogans defended Polly even though what Deni said was true but somewhat hypocritical given Deni too is a hasbeen and non-celebrity. Many bogans created “hate” pages on Facebook, which we all know is the best way for bogans to get their message to like-minded bogans!

did you see that thing about that guy that said australians have become heaps less financially literate? he stole that from youse.
fuck.
I said “fuck”
can we turn that off?
now I’m trapped in moderation for ever.
it’s like Tron*
*the 80’s Tron. not the new Tron. that was an even bigger let down than Avatar.
actually the first Tron was pretty bad too. even in the 80’s. I never quite got what was happening.
it was like a sort of Neromancer thing, right? with electic light mototrcycles. or something.

hehe – too true. When i had my first child waaaayyyy back in da 90s, there was no baby bonus for me – I had a child because my husband and I wanted one and could afford it. I think bogans don’t understand the concept of “bonus” – I say reduce the baby bonus by the $400 or so to $4000….seriously, should people be whinging if they’re getting paid $4000 to reproduce?
They should make it $100k. But you only get it if you pass a non bogan test made up of random questions so bogans couldn’t really study for it if on the off chance that they were able to read more than 200 pages a month.
they should just get rid of it completely. but nobody will, seeing as it would be political suicide.

Hey Chubs, are you training for the Tour Down Under, a good lead up to the Giro de Onkaparingaring!
I went to Williamstown and back yesterday morning, bit tired today.
sadly, the giro d’onkaparingaring is in doubt after “the incident” last year.

Someone Ash wants to do #124 on. Even though she’s physically pretty good I wouldn’t because I don’t like her mentally speaking and I’ve got ethics and shit.
Someone Ash wants to #124, that does not really narrow it down Martin, f€ck ya.
Simon,
Narrows it down to everyone who reads this blog !
*glasses Simon just cause I farkin can*
She has a nice face, she advanced to close to the end of a season of Australian Idol, the one Shannon Noll won possibly. I’m surprised and mortified that I know that. Again, I used to post as Edward, until someone ripped my screen-name, posted three times and was never seen again.
ah yes.
I always confuse her with the one who was on Big Brother with Fitzy. I too am surprised and mortified that there are axons, dendrites, synapsees and ??? in my brain devoted to comprehending any of the preceding.
anyway, Ricki-Lee – clearly on the Deni Hines track to mediocrity.
and
I always thought you were Water Skiing in a Leather Jacket.
During the the Peter Thornton period, I did consider making an alternative log-in for Angus McGuyver (the General who was his handler had in the McGuyver series was Pete Thornton), but I think Waterskiing was an alt. for Kelly Kapowski Klansman.
The other article used the name Bree something-or-other, and had been an exotic dancer under the name Delta. She did a brief stint presenting a Big Brother related round-up programme, and then fell off the radar.
Why do I know this ?
If I keep absorbing stuff like this there is danger I could forget something which is actually useful, like French vocabulary or how to calculate the volume of a cone. I’ve already forgetten the name of the type of chemical which speeds and intensifies the reaction of two other chemicals. It’s like a catalyst, but not (because a catalyst makes possible a reaction which wouldn’t otherwise occur).
I need to rinse my eyes and cerebral cortex with bleach.
Fi, Fi bleaches are oxidisers usually chlorine or peroxide based and could cause permanent dammage to eyes
I figured that reaction facilitators were also cataylists but hey if your only mixing charcol and potassium nitrate between two steel plates you dont realy need much sulphur. ! so FOOOeeey !
comment peut-on calculer le volume d’un cône?
Reagent, Fiona?
And Caek: V = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h
urban, hmm yes a specif example of the i/3 area of base x h
one of the little interesting things that onee may pick from maths was the difference between the volume of a sphere and the volume of a cube that exactly contains it. If one instead were to fill the cube exactly with say eight spheres or many thousands the difference in space remains the same. !
That’s simple to explain, James. The ratio between a volume of a sphere and a cube, the diameter of which equals the breadth of the cube, remains constant.
Radius of sphere = r
Breadth of cube = 2r
V(sphere) = 4/3 * pi * r^3
V(cube) = (2r)^3
4/3 * pi * r^3 : (2r)^3
4/3 * pi * r^3 : 8 * r^3
4/3 * pi : 8
pi : 6
Therefore, the ratio of the volumes of a sphere and cube of equal breadth is pi : 6.
And if you replace the one big sphere with eight smaller spheres which all touch each other, or twenty-seven smaller spheres or (n^3) spheres … all you’re really doing is slicing and dicing the cube into 8 or 27 or (n^3) smaller cubes with identical dimensions. The ratio of the volumes for these smaller cubes remain the same, so the sum of all the smaller volumes remains the same.
Yes, folks. That’s your Geometry 101 lecture here today at the University of TBL. A contemporary English literature tutorial, in the form of the latest episode of The Bogue & Boguette Show, is coming right up. :P
Huh, I was more or less convinced the word began with “per…”. No wonder I was having trouble remembering the rest.
Simon, I could not make such excellent word play jokes with out the superbe straight men on this site !!! Remember If you don’t like my word plays , then I do have others !
pollie pay rises.
Pollie wants a cracker ?
Pollie wants a nice french triple cream brie on his cracker to go with the vintage Krug on the flight home from the Fact Finding Mission.
Maybe she would like some food…
maybe I should have said Pollies are Crackers ?
Hmm … what did the TBL blokes miss …
The ALP National Conference. The party was torn between what its members wanted and what the bogan-dominated outer-suburban marginal-seat focus groups wanted, especially about same-sex marriage. In the end, Conference came up with a compromise (the party platform will support same-sex marriage but allow MPs a conscience vote) that pleased nobody and pissed off everybody.
I saw a story in the SMH where the NSW Planning Minister announced that new suburbs on Sydney’s northwestern fringe will have an average lot size of 250 square metres. This will make it impossible to build McMansions … or will it? Never underestimate the ingenuity (or should that be deviousness?) of the property development industry.
And I’ve noticed that, this Christmas, I’m having no trouble finding parking spots at shopping centres in my area. Either consumer confidence is shot (despite all the Pollyanna-ish good news in the mainstream media about how our economy is going full steam ahead), or everybody is shopping online, or a bit of both. In any case, it’s refreshing that I don’t have to challenge bogan 4WD mums with My Family stickers to a duel at twenty paces to grab a parking space that doesn’t require a two-day trek through lands hitherto unknown just to reach the shops.
Non bogans prefer to park well away from the shops if the car park is full or fullish. We’ve been over this before, therefore you are 1.203% bogan Urban.
You guys should do an article about GASP…
I concur.
http://www.theage.com.au/small-business/more-gasps-as-shop-service-spat-spreads-20110930-1l07x.html
That’s a fine line as to who the bogan is. Is it GASP for not tolerating bogans or are GASP yogans, or wannabe yogans and doing the classic yogan thing of mistaking arrogance and conceit for class.
Hey TBL,
I came across the following article yesterday and think it epitomises everything this blog is about:
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/more-news/australia-among-the-worlds-priciest-on-food-housing/comments-fn7x8me2-1226221237830
As you will see it provides hard evidence to show that Australia is not the lucky country but the ‘land of the big rip-off’. The comments section provides a treasure trove of intellectual insights. Like this one from, I kid you not, ‘Daniel Joe Average of Canberra’:
Posted at 4:31 AM December 14, 2011
I know!! it’s hella expensive here. I want a new Mercedes C Class Coupe “V6 would be good” and I can’t afford it!!. Luxury Vehicle Tax is Killing Me.. :-(
At first I thought the comments were a joke. TBL inspired trolls. But after reading a rafter of Bogans bemoan the high costs of luxury goods in Australia I have come to the horrid realisation that these are real people’s actual opinions.
I need a new TBL post to cure me of my bogan-induced melancholia. Stat.
The rate cut and the extra $50 a month the bogue has means that the bogue’s beloved ponzi/pyramid/and property investments will not crash.
JuLIAR had a boost in the polls despite the best efforts of Alan Jones and co when the bogue found out it’ll just be the “rich” who’ll be paying for the carbon tax. Ie, those f$ckwits on $100k+ a year who’ve never done a day’s work in their lives.
Mathew Newton punched an old guy in the head. The bogue now has someone to hate virulently for about 3 months until Matthew is forgiven again.
name for an american sitcom “Fonzi’s Ponzis”Adjudication of challangers by The Donald !
Hey! What happened to my post?
Anywhoo…this is the big issue for the bogan.Is the commodore about to die?
http://smh.drive.com.au/motor-news/holden-set-to-decide-on-commodore-future-20111213-1orz3.html
Oh the humanity!
humility for the bogan but a win win for humanity
pity.
I can’t help feeling the loss.
but whatever, I had a lot of guns once too and I don’t miss them.
TBL #√(26y²+1a) – Guns.

We had the final ‘stater. (WM II) when I divested of it bogans were wont to tell self I was crazy. “it’s a classic – the last one maaate.” yeah gutted. they were so rare too.
TBL #ⁿ – “Classics”
we all have to run out and get a VF Commodore, Bogans will pay a fortune for them in 30 years.
although: if I had a lazy $27k…
Free speech is clearly a bogan value, and not an American or a universal human value. Keep pushing that line. The fascists will thank you.
Just Bali in general. Sweet Jesus. After a bout of the pukey shits I was advised that to blend in I’d best ditch my fancy shirt (with collar & buttons) and get into a Bintang tank top & some cheap boardies. I didn’t.
And the “shopping”. Spending valuble time from work to beat an extra 10 cents off a pair of fake Oakleys or a carved timber cock.
If you’re a fat pisspot with with bad tatts who likes 3 day old editions from News Ltd with your morning beer you’ll love it.
If not, you will like the beach. Comb your hair and locals think you are European. God I’m a snob.
No, you’re not a snob. You’re not a bogan, and therefore the sort of person who JUST DOESN’T FIT IN KUTA, and you’d probably be TOTALLY USELESS in a bar room knife fight (latest Kuta news).
Sorry to be so brutally honest.
Try Padang Padang if you want to meet people more like yourself, and want to deny that people in another country, with an actual culture, are trying to flog you copies of the Perth Sunday Times (god help us).
The Perth Sunday Times is used as a covert weapon by Australian Immigration.
Thousands of copies are “Smuggled” into the Refugee camps and people smuggler haunts . The Refugees eagerly snap them up like they as valuable as pork chops(Or Lamb he he) After they get to read what life is realy like in Australia they give up and moove on to some more Des Res like Uzbekistan or any place at all that ends in “stan”
I would think that I have bagged the Bali holiday as much as anyone else here. Yet, it’s not that bad. Except for Kuta.
If you’re off to Bali, avoid Kuta. It’s full of folk like our friend Letitride. No, Bali is beautiful. Just don’t don’t go to Far North Northbridge.
Awww Mick, you missed my devastatingly witty. pithy direction. Never mind. Am I weally your fwend?
yes, well….um….that’s all very good.
Yeah, I …knew and read between the lines…yes, that’s it.
Roger…righto then…carry on…
*runs off in tears of embarrassment*
Mick,
I hope you got that on film so you can show your grand children how to kiss and make up !
Touching or touched ?
Cool Mick! Heartily LOL, all the best for the Season. And same to the rest of the wild, wacky TBL crew.
The “fourteen year old schoolboy”. Walks out of a massage parlour, buys some dope on the street, the police were probably surveilling the dealer as he did it. The case of, or for, a 800th-odd week abortion. I have no sympathy whatsoever, he could be a parent within the decade, and this possiblilty fills me with revulsion.
Possibly by the end of next year.
not if he does what you do…
I’m sure some time in a Bali jail has whetted any appetite he may have ever had for #124.
IK,
Bhahahaha
wetted ????
Has the growing debt consolidation industry been done yet?
I have watched the bogan ‘invest’ their hard-earned over the last four years. As has been noted on here before, the bogan will only invest in a ‘sure thing’, thus shovelling their money in at the peak because Davo made a motza on it.
Property, shares, gold, classic Oz cars…all bought at the peak and now rapidly losing value. Life is tough on $150k+ a year. Who would have thought negative gearing meant that they would lose money? They need help with the harley payments.
So, after being ripped off by various spruikers, the bogan will wander down to the good people of “Save Your Financial Arse” that they read about in New Idea.
Only to be ripped off again…
It’s all Julia’s fault. Even though it all started under John Howard. I’m curious to know if the bogan will protest about it’s right to f#ck people over. I’m somewhat disapointed to say that they probably won’t. They didn’t in the US and they have guns. I wanted to see it for entertainment value and maybe join the cops and bash them.
But even the bogue seems to realise that it’s a pig itself, no matter how much they accuse the banks of being the only pigs.
When pigs seek revenge…
Has anyone noticed how pink and piggilly Mike Smith from the ANZ bank is?
is this the old Part Nine Bankruptcy thing?
What did Bogans make of the NZ election coverage on ABC 24?
best NZ election coverage I have evar seen!!!
do bogans know about ABC24?
or do they just think it’s the test pattern?
How do you get it? Whenever I put the channel on foxtel tells me I have to pay extra to get it. C$nts.
oh martin it was just rivetting.

TBL # 250 – PISS WEAK EXCUSES
*waves to moar*
aaaayyy!
full marks.
I’d never spotted the link between Fiona and Waterskiing, full marks Caek. I’m going to post you a song.
Just for something different. I loved this album. Epic, pompous rock.
outstanding.
I used to think this song was about me.
sadly I had a tattoo done to celebrate it. I may have sung it standing naked on a pool table in a bar once.
I’m not sure…
yeah, nah, it was this one….
and it was more like a bistro than a bar, as such.
F#ck you Simon. U2 is way better than The Cult.
Or maybe a bit of Gazza and the Oyyyyallls.
For f@cks sake Martin, U2/ really.
Try this instead. Adelaide band.

I tried to introduce my workmates to Harriet and Co.
They said she was okay but not as hot as Pink. The west side of this great country LOVE Pink.
pink? hot? i can’t even think of a pithy response, the concept is just too hard to get my head around.
f4660t5.
and not in the good way.
Word Play
No this – Word Play
motley crue I mean.
you were supposed to listen to this in the alps.
I tried to give it to you…
but they said you had already gone…
…
I got stopped by French Customs on that one.
Fiona is not Fonzie.
Nice try though.
Neither is Cookie Monster. Heeyyyy.
which one would you rather eat ?
– Australia got beat in the only bogan sport you can play properly whilst stopping ever 20 overs for a beer, against the Kiwis no better.
– A bogan thats been on the run shot a copper and is still on the run. Seriously, a crazy man with a tent cannot be on the run for seven years and never get caught when we have such a ‘great’ police force. What a pack of retards. Well done Malcolm Naden
What’s the hardest, coolest, yet politically and socially aware band ever? The sort of thing where you can listen to it and just think “what if” and get really involved in idealism and a burning hatred for the system. Where you just know everyone else is wrong and you are right.
I say it’s Morris Minor and the Majors.
If only they had started the libtard movement.
That’s pretty good, compared to Ufarkin2 anyway. Mojo for PM.
Pure genius
If she started the Libtard movement you would be No1 ticket holder Martin.
F#ck yeah. I’d do her.
This is more your style Simon.
That’s gruesome!
Has no-one commented on the fantastic Australian movie of the year?
Why RED DOG of course!
watched it last night.
pretty poor. a good yarn maybe…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Dog_(Pilbara)
but a pretty piss poor movie.
Bogans will love it. thousands of Red Kelpie pups will be abandoned circa March 2012, Red Dog will deliver a nomination envelope at the logies or the AFIs.
And, ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for Episode 48 of …
THE BOGUE & BOGUETTE SHOW!!!
And this week – it looks like Boguette hasn’t learnt yet that there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch!
http://bogueandboguetteshow.wordpress.com/2011/12/16/episode-48-condemned-to-repeat/
TBL what about the copper beating the crap out of the bogan hoon somewhere….I sooo wanted to be that cop
Lankawi (Island in Malaysia is just as nice ans loads safer . No night life to speak of and no drugs so wont suit most bogans either .
But hey its the drugs and the night life you want go to the Gold Coast and save the air fares and dont have to worry bout getting busted at the air port an banged up for 30/40 years.
Too right JH.
Think outside of the square. Borneo for me.

OH WOW!!!!!
Had our Xmas do at the golf club today. Came home too drunk to cook(TBL#835353 – Too Drunk To Cook.) so dialed a pizza. Got myself a bottle of coke with it because of TBL#835354 – Too Drunk To Drink Anymore.
They gave me a bottle with the name Michael on it!!! Do they do this? Do they sort through the bottles to find the name of their clients? Man, that is customer service!
Or was it coincidence? That would make me sad.
Dobbs has simply smiled on you this day Michael. This day You have achieved true Slack, and now have a natty souvenir of it and a salient conversation piece for the coming Weird Times.
Not Pepsi Max?
Simon,
If Max were drinking it would not “Yes,Pepsi”, “Max” !
be more nearly correct ?
American “reality ” , and it’s televised !
– Mum with two autistic kids (not one, two), dresses one in a T-shirt proclaiming the fact
– Takes the sprogs to a shopping centre where a nasty santa hassles the kids asking the mum if the kids had their medication
– The mum enacts the bogan human right to be offended/outraged and contacts the media in shock.
There’s much boganity going on here, but lets focus on the bogan’s disorder-du-jour: autism spectrum disorders. It seems they’ve all got at least one kid with autism/aspbergers. The slightly more downmarket bogan still has ADHD going on, but autism spectrum disorders are taking over, in the same way chronic fatigue took over RSI in the 90s (hint to tbl owners: there’s a topic in here somewhere). I don’t know why the prevalence of autism is increasing, but it must have something at least partly to do with obesity, fast food, and plastic containers.
By the way, this all happened in Queensland in case you couldn’t guess.

News . com article on labour leadership, Gillard/Rudd/Shorten, bullshit ad infinitum.

Hmm thinks
Mrs H and I stopped the Home Delivery of the Oz as we became sick of the murd och political spin and for the last period had only read the Time Cross word.
For $32 per year we now get all the Times Crosswords , cryptic,daily,jumbo,weekend,sunday for one year with solutions also there if we want to check. Sorry Mr M you are past your use by.
I think you have to pay or subscribe to use RupertOnline doncha?
news.con breaks my heart worse than facebook, so I don’t even look anymore. My guilty shame is that I get the Wknd Oz. The reason being I would rather just wait and get something like the whole story instead of minute by minute updates. The bias is pretty clear, so I tend to ignore the politics, although I did note two very vaguely complimentary pieces on the Labor Govt’s recent fiscal performance in last weekend’s rag. More often than not I just read philip adams and ditch the thing. I’m pretty sure we only get it for the TV guide now, although the newspaper will be handy whwn we are ready to house train the baby I s’pose.
congrats BTW james. you can add news.com Contributor to your resume – you’re more credible than most of their roster!
moar, It is such a crud news (sic) service. Thing is it has a small space on the Chariot Internet Home Page so i admit a to weekness inasmuch as I do go from there to have as often as not a laugh So I am not sure if I would like to put it on my Resume. Unfortunately the kind of people most likely to read it (in the commercial world ) might actually be impressed !!
Any one though in the Arts Community about whom I actually care may well ( and with due cause) be offended !!
Has anyone else seen the advertisements for the upcoming season of Celebrity Biggest Loser ? To quote the god-mother of boganology (Mary-Anne Fahey), “So Bogan !”
They should have one called “Biggest F$cken Loser”. Where a bunch of bogans are hooked on drink, durries, pokies, skanks and violence.
I might even watch that one.
is that the ad that describes kevin federline as a rapper and international superstar? not sure what alternate universe they’re in that kevin federline is anything.
If that is true things are worse than we could possibly comprehend.
we should all commit harikiri, shouldn’t we?
And on top of this the news emerges that Amy Pond is getting killed off in the next Dr Who series. Can it get any worse?
Liam, Liam,
Of course it could be much much worse.
You could wake up and find :
Foney Rabbit as prime minister.
There would be mass wrist slashings and ques waiting to jump from Sydney Harbour Bridge and West Gate Bridge.
a smaller Que at Story Bridge I suppose though some Queenslanders may actually think its a good thing.
Honestly JH, I don’t see at this juncture he would be any worse than Julia. They are both sub grade humans.
Liam,
The main difference is that Foney does not believe in anything other then maybe religious fundalmentalism of the Caflick kind.
A man who changes view point on a single subject four times in one day expecting anyone to take anything he says seriously has to have delusions of adequacy. A contributor undoubtedly is a serious case of “Short Man Syndrome “. Add the two and …. paue for the drum roll : Foney….RaaaabBit
it isn’t confirmed she’s dying, just leaving. we can live in deluded hope.
I mean’t killed off in the TV sense, maybe a spinoff series staring her police outfit P’bee? That would make Mick happy.
Uniformed Pole Dancing ?
I heard our Amy being interviewed on the ABC radio the other night. By the sounds and tone coming from the host I’m guessing he was almost drowning in his own drool.
She sings too. *sigh*
Delightful girl. Just delightful.
He did well to string any words together I reckon.
I was dimly aware that after being Cinderella-ed by his ex-wife, he recorded a largely ignored album. This was of, course, a vanity project. At the time they met, however, he was one of her backing dancers, I understand. If anything he was a dancer. Thus the strangeness of backgrounds of the participants.
Christine Anu was a dancer too. And Robert Dipierdominico was an athlete. You’d think that they would be less likely to lose control, having been accustomed to a physically demanding (and disciplined) lifestyle.
Coke cans with names on them. How many Breiehannahs and Jaiy-dehns have been desperately searching for a bottle with the “correct” spelling of their name? And then how long have they lined up at Westfield to get a specially printed can?
you can get them printed???
custom coke can???
srsly?
has anyone tried to get “Bogan” written on one?
or “Pepsi”?
They already tried that (Pepsi) on The Gruen Transfer, but got knocked back. They did get Dia and Betes through though.
Mumbrella managed to print an “Ipepsi” can – then covered the I with a finger for a photo:

I sent them the following comment
“I’m glad these people buy 4wd. Makes it easy to spot the morons with fragile egos or undersized genitals.”
Chances of getting published, about the same as a romantic interlude with Amy Pond.
I reckon that one is a chance.
Readership is in trouble. They need ego/genital outrage.
Nah I’ve given up. If I ever have a wife and kids I’m getting one. I’m tired of 4WD rage. If everyone’s gonna be a c$nt I’m gonna have to be a c$nt too. If I kill a child hopefully it will be a bogan’s and not my own.
Unless I end up with a libtard. I wonder if libtards drive them. Anyone been outside the schools in our respective libtard districts? I bet they drive Peugeots. Or maybe they’re just a pack of stinking hypocrites and drive Landcruisers.
They drive em Martin. No matter what school you pass it’s 50% SUV’s, regardless of area. Glass em all I say.
Also, do you feel most attracted to libtardettes or boguettes, and which one gives best #124? As a batchelor you gave a duty to research and report back so us marrieds can live vicariously.
Simon, Good point , or well pointed . ? Like all marrieds we also have a duty to encourage research particularly if it is of the boring kind. Not necrophilia of course because that is just dead boring, but bougette boring could be a new EXtreeme Sport ?Especially if bougette is stoked on bundies or JBs with the added risk of THE BOUGE comming home unannounced and fuelled on a gross of Cowboy shots.
Libtardette boring,would be the situation that could give any one that experience. “shes so sexy she give you an instant soft on . especially if they are school teachers of bank”officers” although I damned if that seems to mean much more then someone who makes the managers coffee and avoids customers at all times.
Chalkies and Bank jhonettes give the most apallingly boreing parties.
I look around me when I go out and see aggressive shaved headed males hooning the streets and loud (often foul mouthed) women in oversized vehicles. If I dare switch the TV over to a commercial station when I go home I see nothing but ads plugging reality TV shows about redneck confrontations. Evidently, I am becoming more sensitive and increasingly thinned skinned in my older age.
Timmy Flannery. You know, the bovver bogan. “Visits” his neighbours.
Since Donald T. gets an overseas guernsey, throw in four more similar o/s bogan boys: James Hansen, Albert Gore, Michael Mann and Phil Jones.

I wonder, have any of you pathetic little tweeds even considered the fact that if it is claimed that a “bogan” is a “poor-Anglo”, “uneducated” imbecile who basically has no style or colour coordination (just like “Kath & Kim), etc., then, as a matter of premise establishment and logical connections in a purely rational manner, one may begin to have revealed before them the massive inherent structural weakness of the entire anti-bogan “premise” which someone like me can “make more visible” so-to-speak by simply using your own disgraceful descriptions of the apparently “simple”, lower-class and [usually] less-educated Anglos you all constantly mock and poke fun at.
I can then lay the claim at your holiness’ feet that dares you even attempt to explain to me why it would be even remotely different if I simply changed the word “bogan” in everything said on this site to “poor, uneducated PERSON”, which would necessarily include all “non-Anglos” also – the entire third-world, basically every non-Western nation/culture too.
How is it AT ALL POSSIBLE for any of you twits (or I feel like saying “F$#&s”) to argue down a suggestion/claim such as this?
I challenge any of you idiots (some who actually declare or at least claim to be writers – for who, of what? Trash for 3 year olds?) to argue my claim away.
The claim is:
(1) If you believe that it is acceptable, rationally, logically and especially morally, to speak about poor Anglo-Australians in the disgustingly derisive and severely prejudiced fashion that you and all ya buds DO;
Then
(2) since the “premises” or reasons that you and ilk (i.e. bigots) rely upon are things such as “lack of education”, “little wealth”, “stupidity” for a number of reasons such as menial work, little intellectual stimulation due to living in a simpleton atmosphere with simpleton friends and hobbies (e.g. darts at the local RSL club, etc.), and since all of these reasons or “Premises” are NOT MUTUALLY INCLUSIVE WITH ANY ETHNICITY, LET ALONE MERELY THE ANGLO-ETHNICITY AND ONLY THE POOR ANGLOS AT THAT; this then necessarily indicates that anyone who freely and passionately [perhaps even to some they may think also – “morally”] “bullies” the poor class of Anglo-Australians, is simultaneously admitting (whether explicitly or only implicitly is not important) that they hold identical feelings and descriptions towards and of ANY group of peoples that fits in with the premises of “poor”, “uneducated”, “stupid”, “menial work”, “menial leisure/hobbies” etc., as which are constantly used to describe the so-called “bogans”. This effectively means that everybody on the planet earth except middle to upper class Europeans and in recent decades also maybe 20% of the Asian peoples are able to be freely mocked, laughed at for anything from dress-sense, style, colour co-ordination, to speech impediments, to their particular beliefs, even their taste in cars and somehow also the food they like and eat!
That is, if these leftist “anti-boganites” (usually left-wing idiots who use “bogans” as a garbage bin for any crooked corners that happen to pop up in multicultural-multiracial Australia. E.g. The so-called “Cronulla Riots”, which was actually a built-up tension over years of racism from Middle-Eastern citizens towards Anglo-Australians at Cronulla) somehow find it acceptable both morally and rationally to mock anyone or any group of people as they do with the poor Anglo-Australians, then by definition and by the logical connection from THEIR OWN originally established Premise to the conclusions inevitably brought forth by this premise, these “anti-bogan” type people are in ACTUAL FACT RACISTS, CLASSISTS, ELITISTS, and even COLONIALISTS. They are “racists” because they seem to only hold a modern western-style tertiary education as an actual “education”, as well they seem to hold only high-brow western culture as “worthy”, since regular working-class culture and the kinds of activities included in this culture are to the “anti-boganites” “dumb” and often the subject of left-wing “comedy sketches”. Their “classism” and “elitism” is obvious. The “colonialist” attitude underlying their entire perceptual paradigm shows itself in their just now above PROVEN wide-scale racism and general severe bigotry which when coupled with their “elitism” and some of their comments such as “we need to educate them”, to “enlighten” them; one can see I think a strong undercurrent within their entire existential-perceptual-horizon that beckons to the call of the Victorian European (but in their specifically “Anglo” case, which may be vital to them since racist they are quite strongly) colonialist who also thought himself “superior” and one of the lucky few to be “enlightened” and “intelligent”.
It was precisely this attitude that eventually led the British and other powerful European Nations to colonize the world and force “THEIR WAYS” onto the “stupid”, “uneducated”, “unenlightened”, “poor” and “simple” nitwits of this earth (or, the other term they can use for the world’s “stupid” is “bogan”). We call it “colonialism” today and the very concept has become historically imbued with a negative, erring reaction.
One of the biggest castles built on sand that we’ve seen. The “about” section of the site has, since day one, specified that our definition of boganism transcends race, education, income, and all of the other “-isms” that you’ve overloaded your rant with in an insecure bid to look smart. You’re obsessed with the smart-sounding word “premise”, but most of the ones you’re ascribing to us are just ones you baselessly cooked up in a previous paragraph. The bogan we attack is the one who had ample opportunity to not be ignorant, but elected not to take that opportunity up. Of course people who have had few opportunities in life are different, and 2 of the 6 TBL writers are currently working in the education industry in a low income country. To conclude, you’re an idiot. TBL
Well, well well, what do we have here ?
I have not been so “taken Back” since “Bear Facts”s missiff so long ago.
2 of the 6 ? wow , hardly a majority, other than in the eyes of Foney Rabbid.
In a low income country ? Not Australia , for sure so please show us the depth of your research and actually tell us ? Can you ? Hmmmm didnt think so.
a negative erring reaction ? I suggest you analise that a little ,at least a little, then try and say it in a way that is positively unerringly, reactive.. See what I ment ?
James, James, James!
Your constant semi – literate and incoherent ramblings responding to every post reminds me of an old adage; ‘You learn nothing from talking’.
If that adage is true, then the evidence is clear – via your irritating quantity and laughable lack of quality – that you are the short priced favourite for position of the TBL village idiot.
As you did in your 24/5/12 word jumble, feel free to ask questions of yourself and refuse to answer them with relevant statements.
bear with out facts,
so : those are your opinions and if I don’t like them you have others ?
That way you bound to get something right , eventually.
The (pseudo) scientific approach to footy.
Despite an innate hatred of scientists and elite intellectuals nothing gets a bogan more excited than the intellectual and scientific approach to footy as seen in the last ten years. Interestingly when Gerard Neesham questioned accepted wisdom and brought in tactics from water polo at Fremantle in the mid 90’s the footy mob derided him. He of course broke the bogan rule always follow the mob. Having only played 9 VFL games helped make him seem a suspiciously intellectual outsider
I was on a bus to the airport on the day the national draft had concluded in Melbourne and there was this guy who must have been a club recruiter shouting into his mobile “mate, I know he might not be as quick as others but he runs smart” And he probably thinks climate change is a crock
