Election Night Drinking Game

 

Here's a nice simple drinking game to make the election coverage tomorrow night a little more enjoyable. It's all based on the amount of times Eden Monaro is mentioned by the TV pundits. Background Eden Monaro is a big arse seat in southern NSW that stretches from the Southern Coast to The ACT. Because of this, it covers almost every demographic and swing voter in the land, from surfers to miners to farmers to loggers to hippies to working class Queenbeyan residents and middle class ACT beauracrats. Since 1972 the good people of Eden Monaro have always voted in the overall winner of the federal ballot, making it darling of federal election TV coverage. Beginners Or those wishing to remember tomorrow night, should drink whenever these facts are brought up, Eden Monaro is mentioned as the 'bellwether' seat, or pundits laugh and say things like "As Eden Monaro votes, so does Australia". More recently the phrase "Australia's Florida" can be added to the drinking list. Advanced Or heavy drinkers should simply drink whenever Eden Monaro is mentioned. Remember; it's a big arse seat, it takes a long time for all booths to send in their results, you will drink all night and often. Good luck tomorrow and may the best woman win.

Sometimes the News Makes Me Smile

Kevin loves the Titty Bars!

In just plain fucking awesome news, apparently Kevin Rudd went to a Titty Bar in 2003. Allegedly, he was warned for being too touchy feely... His response, in true Australian style, was "I was too drunk to recall..." The boy has my vote. I think i'll try and capture the moment with Photoshop.

Kevin 07

So the internet is abuzz with the new Labor Party site Kevin 07. I think i've made my political views fairly clear, but for those that came in late; John Howard is an amazing politician. As a human being though, he is a revolting, despicable little prick of a man. Let no one call Fulltime Casual one sided... Anyhoo, i'll leave all debates about the overall content of the site, and its design, to those that know what they're talking about. What concerns me is the fact that the sexy Kevin07 tshirts are only $7 bucks. Thats pretty cheap... God i hope the Labor party wasnt stupid enough to buy those shirts at a sweatshop. The second i get confirmation that those shirts were made by happy, well paid workers, i'll buy one. Fingers crossed.
