Ms Fits is an irritatingly smug 32 year-old television writer who yearns to be Bob Ellis but will settle for Bob Hart. At least he gets free meals. Pompous nobjockey.

THU09MAR

For god's sake Paul, CALL YOUR GRANDMOTHER.


Here is a public notice in the Herald Sun which pleased me:



' *PAUL PITTORINO*
21 TODAY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
"MR BUSY"
- LOVE NAN'





I absolutely love the pointed 'Mr Busy'. This to me is the ultimate martyr grandmother act. 'Happy birthday, I love you, even though you're so busy all the time, too busy to call your Nonna eh Mr Busy? Don't mind me if you're busy, I just wanted to take time out of my day to put a notice in the paper for my baby. Because I'm not busy. Like you. Mr Busy. Love Nan.'


611 days til the next election.

I love that she put his full name. I don't suppose there are too many Paul Pittorino's in the greater Melbourne area...

Go Nan.

MelbourneGirl said...

yes m_m. just to really make that guilt pay off big time, she put his whole name.

or maybe it's a code? not from nan to 21-year-old paul.

Hey, maybe he's just a big fan of the 'Mr Men' books. Maybe he has a brother called 'Mr Tickle'.....

Ms Fits,why read the "little paper".
Unless for toilet?

So... when you secure gainful employment, will you still have time to read the personal notices in the Herald Sun?

How will we hear about the constantly amusing minutiae of everyday bogans without people like your good self willing to sacrifice hours of your life scouring the details of every last classified advertisement?

Bless you my child.

hey, was hoping you wouldn't mind a little shameless promotion of a "good fight" event this weekend. friday and saturday at trades hall, overland magazine is hosting a conference - "relaxed and comfortable?: challenging john howard's australia". we set up this forum explicitly as a response from the left, to counteract the mostly reverent coverage of the howard decade in the mainstream media. all info is at this link: http://www.overlandexpress.org/overevents.html

feel free to delete this if it's an inappropriate abuse of your blog - i just thought there might be some interest here. thanks!

(I'm kidding, of course. I'd never forget anything like that. I'm like Superman, 'cept it's with my memory.)

Ahhhh Lucy-san.

It most important to learn to wait for answers. Wisdom does not come easily.

You see, for blog-reader with no patience in heart, life worse punishment than death.

One to one problem, yes. THIRTY to one problem, too much ask anyone. Wax on, wax off.

ALLOW ME TO HELP YOU OUT WITH THE REMAINING ANSWERING OF QUESTIONS (ABRIDGED VERSION).

No.
No. No wait - possibly.
You'll go to hell.
Behind the fridge.
Yes.
No.
Your grandmother was probably just as surprised as you were.
Uh-huh. Me too.
No.
Seven, you idiot.
It's a little deviant but nothing too shocking in the scheme of things.
I agree.
I DISAGREE.
Diane Keaton, hands fucking down.
Hahaha, touche.
No, you can't.
Yes, I like that.
I HATE THAT.

FIN.

What about your Mum Paul?? said...

I just happened to be self-Googling... As you do.

Or perhaps you were Googling your Nana?? (Now that's just wrong!!)
