Lee Harding fans continue to share the love.


Five hundred years ago I wrote a post about Australia's favourite punkette Lee Harding and his fans responded in kind


This latest comment has me puzzled, though:


'DIE I WANT TO SCOOP OUT YOUR EYEBALLS, PUT THEM IN A GLASS OF ORANGE JUICE AND POUR THEM DOWN THE SINK!!! DIE FAG DIE!!! AND THEN I WILL PUT THEM IN A BLENDER AND GIVE IT TO YOUR MUM, SAYING ITS TOMATO JUICE!!! YOU POOFMUNCHER. I HOPE YOUR TOOTHACHE GROWS INTO A MUSTARD POT AND MAKES YOUR INTESTINES COME UP AND STRANGLE YOU!!!KURIEUZENEZEMUSTARDPOT!!!I LOVE YOUHAVE A NICE DAY LOVEYOUR NUMBER 1 FAN!!! *SARCASM, SARCASM*'




1. Is this directed at me or Lee Harding?

2. What exactly is a 'poofmuncher'?

3. Is the otherwise aggressive nature of the paragraph offset somewhat by the creative surreal genius of: 'I hope your toothache grows into a mustard pot and makes your intestines come up and strangle you'?

4. Which part is supposed to be 'sarcasm sarcasm'? Is it the screamy shrill threats to the addressee's wellbeing or the request to 'have a nice day'?

5. Does the fact that Lee Harding seems to rouse people into such violent bursts of emotion actually make him a little bit punk after all? Discuss.



506 days til the next election.

God, I have no idea.

I'm still trying to get over the 'Lee is Hot' comment.

Our parents were right: a diet of tv and sugar DOES rot your brain.

I weep for these children.

What are your thoughts on the phrase:
"!!!KURIEUZENEZEMUSTARDPOT!!!"

It's got me wondering!

I'm not sure. I don't speak Punk-German.

not casting aspersions or anything but are we sure this wasn't jess?

She does come out with surreal lines of staggering genuis every so often.

Can I just point out that there is a forum on the offical lee harding website that is titled

"Lee Army"

and the explaination:

"Plan tactical missions here"

or something like that....

!

This concerns me....

Peter said...

Or, and I don't mean this to be self-righteous or deliberately provocative in any way...

Is excluding people from what constitutes punk just imposing a whole other different set of rules, and thus flying in the face of what punk is all about?

Discuss.

Lee's über-fan is so enraged by your comment that s/he takes the time to peruse your archives? What must that inner monologue be like "How can she write such untruths?! I hate her, what a poofmuncher [maybe it was the less PG version of Stingray Timmons?]! I will write a strongly worded comment straight away! Right after I've read her entire archives. Yeah!"

A poofmuncher is one who enjoys partaking in nibbles in the company of witty and charming homosexuals. I thought everyone knew that.

It's the school holidays and the kids are getting bored. Hopefully the newly government mandated censorship software will sort them out (or at least give them something to do by trying to get around it.)

Some of those Family First ministers seriously need to get the rod out of their arse.

Clem said...

Oh man, can I have that WHOLE missive on a t-shirt, please?

You poofmuncher.


(PS the authentication code on this comment was "gmmmmcmon". Which is potentially what a poofmuncher might say to one's, er, munchee. "Gmmmm... C'MON!"


I'm done now.)

I'm surprised people still remember who he is.

Give him another 6 months after his single 'Dijon Mustard' flops.

Raylene said...

So i just went back and read story of you and Lee so far.

I'm by no means a punk purist, but i did notice something a little disturbing: Green Day kept getting namechecked as if they were examples of punk cred.

When/how did this happen? Did i miss the memo?

davethescot said...

I'd forgotten all about this walking abortion. Surely his album is in the bargain bin by now. Why does this person even care? Tirades of this nature do not make Lee Harding even a tiny bit punk, over at the Andrew Bolt forum I read tirades like this all the time, and that arsehat is certainly not punk.

22Jun13:40
ms fits said...

You are obsessed with Andrew Bolt, dave.



p.s. Raylene - I believe our friend Lee sees Green Day as the Bringers Of The Punk Revolution(TM). Also they wear eyeliner and shit.

22Jun13:59
Sherd said...

I think for the sugar-rotted-brain kidlets Green Day is the hardcore edge of the known universe.

Outside of that there's just blankness and the occasional 'here there be non-chart music' sign.

22Jun14:00
richardwatts said...

Green Day wear shit? How unsanitary!

What's with the negativity surrounding orange juice in that rant??!

Deeply upsetting.

Dxxxx said...

I'd like to know how they are going to put your eyeballs in a blender to give to your mum SAYING IT'S (sorry "its") TOMATO JUICE after they have poured them down the sink already. And yeah they do seem to have an unhealthy obsession with naming various fruit juices like THEY ARE THE JIZZ OF SATAN!!

ORANGE JUICE - TAKE THAT!!
TOMATO JUICE - SHAZZAM!!

Nothing but good old healthy coke for these geezers, I'm sure....

22Jun14:24
Dxxxx said...

sp Did i just say "geezers" ??
WTF?

22Jun14:36
Magical_M said...

I was just thinking exactly what Dxxxx wrote before I read what she wrote.

The bit about putting your eyeballs in a blender after they've already poured them down the sink.

They must have decent plumbing skills to be able to do that.

And in answer to q2, i would think that a poofmuncher is someone who eats poofs. You know, those footstool thingys.

No?

22Jun14:43

Who are these people, and where are their parents?

I blame the Howard government for undermining the battlers, so both parents have to go out and slave their arses off until all hours working three jobs apiece, just to put Vanilla Coke and Frozen Pizza on the table every night. And I do mean everynight.

These kids just need some love, and some discipline, not necessarily at the same time, or in that order. They also need a parental controlled TiVo, so they never get to watch crap like Australian Idol. Their bullshit detectors are so underdeveloped before they hit matuberty, at about age 23.

22Jun14:45

I believe KURIEUZENEZEMUSTARDPOT is an old German expression that became popular in the trenches of World War 2. It means that getting a piercing and wearing black wristbands does not a punk make and you should probably be disembowelled. Anyway, I don't know why everyone is so down on war. I had a great time. I got to ride on a motorbike and shot three Germans!

Boysenberry said...

I must admit, I find it rather hard to equate Lee "But I look like I think a punk should look like" Harding with punk, hardcore, etc. Maybe I'm just an old farker...

Nope, he really is shite :)

I'm still trying to work out why orange juice...

what they need is love and discipline at the same time. there's good money in that (I am reliably informed)...

brokenleg said...

Gee Ms Fits,
Fisrt people send in photos of their male uglies, and then they issue death threats. I am so jealous. Haven't even had a sympathy comment over at Broken Left Leg blog for ages. What I'd give for a good old death threat.

22Jun22:05
Leg's OK thanks said...

People prefer to do anonymous death threats BL, and your blog only accepts comments from bloggers.

22Jun22:09
ms fits said...

Here's to signed death threats from now on, leg's ok.

Jay said...

In the words of one of your more eloquent commentators "that's just crazy omg".

I had never heard of Lee Harding before today, and while I reserve judgement on him the ensuing drama here as made me laugh so damn hard, it's fantastic.

And I think you're right, the surrealism did offset the aggression -- it's hard to fear for your life when it's wrapped up in such bizarre imagery.

Also, note the subtle use of punctuation in "Sarcasm, Sarcasm" -- why is that comma there? Especially when the comment was characterised with such misuse of punctuation.

It's all very strange.

And out of interest, did you ever visit the late, great diary-x.com? Responsible for public service messages like "learn to spell or unplug your modem" and "U is not a word".

Thanks folks, two death threats from RYWHM fans. I feel privileged

Where's the beef?

No really, I've misplaced it somewhere and it's starting to stink the fuck out of my loungeroom.
