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.

TUE20MAY

Time to make percentage party.





*ring ring*





'Yes, Mr. Nelson?'






'Morning, Kate! Are we feeling well this fine and merry day?'






'Very well thanks, sir. How can I be of assistance?'






'Could you put me through to J-to-tha-Hizzo, H-to-the-Wizzo?'







'Sorry?'






'Howard. John Howard.'






'Putting you through, Mr. Nelson.'



*click*





'Doo-de-doo-de-dooo.....'






'J to the Hizzo.'






'Guess who?'





'I have no idea.'






'I'll give you a clue'.





'Honestly, I don't have time for this.'





'Yes you do. You have plenty of time. You told me you spend half your days playing Scrabulous and the other half alphabetising your polaroid collection.'





'......Look, who is this?'





'Here's the clue. DIRTY. DOZEN.'





'.............'





'Gimme a T! Gimme a W! Gimme an E! Gimme an L! Gimme a V!'





'Twelv?'





'And another E!'





'Twelve?'





'That's Mister Twelve to you, sir. Mister TWELVE PERCENT!'





'....Brendan?'





'Wassup dawg???'





'Oh! Twelve percent! Of course. I was meaning to call and congratulate you, but...well, you know how it gets.'





'No dramas, no dramas. Listen, we're having a little party at HQ on Friday to celebrate the big one-two. Some champagne, few Pommes Noisettes. I may shred a few tight riffs. You and Janette free?'





'I...sure. We could stop by.'





'Grand. See you then!'


*click*





'Kate?'





'Sir?'





'Tone, please.'





'Putting you through, sir.'



*click*





'Dum-de-dum-dummmm'





'Tony Abbott speaking.'





'How many eggs in a carton?'





'...Is that you, Brendan?'





'Bro, we flyin'! You going to swing by the drinks Friday for a little par-tay?'





'Er...okay.'





'Don't forget your Fresh Prince of Bel Air record! That shit is off the hook!!!'





'Fine. No problems.'



*click*





'Oh Kaaaaaate....'





'Right here, sir.'




'Put me through to Syndrome, be a doll.'





'One moment, sir.'


*click*


*ring ring*





'What if god was one of us....'


*ring ring*






*ring ring*






*ring ring*






*ring ring*





'Oh, fuck off...'


*ring ring*





'I'm afraid there's no answer, sir. He must have his phone switched off.'





'Huh. Maybe he's at lunch. Okay, grab me Mal the Pal.'






'Connecting you now, sir.'






'Umbrella-ella-ella-eh-eh-eh...'





'Turnbull.'





'Lurch! 'Tis Monsieur Douze 'ere.'





'Mmm.'





'Guess who's having a knees-up shindig?'





'I don't know. You?'





'Oui oui! You wanna come shake your rump-ah? We're hiring decks.'





'....Actually, I'm busy.'



>br>

'I didn't tell you when it was yet.'





'Oh. When is it?'





'Friday.'





'I'm busy. Sorry.'





'Oh well. Not to worry.'





'Yeah, I've actually organised a few drinks for the boys myself, so...'





'No problemo, chief. Have yourself a fine time!'





'Right.'



*click*





'..............'


*ring ring*





'Yes Kate?'





'I've got Mr. Abbott on the line for you, sir.'





'Put him through.'


*click*





'Beano, Tone. Listen, something's kind of...come up on Friday. Having a few drinks elsewhere, looks like I'm not going to be able to make it. Hope that doesn't put you out.'





'...No, no. That's fine.'





'Grand. Have one for me, eh? Tell Buswell to beee-have, baby. He'll know what I mean, HAHAHA.'





'....Sure.'





'Ciao.'



*click*





'............'


*ring ring*





'What is it, Kate?'





'I've got Mr. Howard on the line for you, Mr. Nelson. He says it's about Friday. Something's come up.'





'...............'





'Sir?'





'....Fine. Put him through.'


*click*

So nice to see that photo of Mr 12% pop up again - just looking at it brings a lovely big smile to my face and makes me feel all warm & fuzzy for the rest of the day. Thanks Ms Fits!

Ummmm pomme noisettes....

Fuck! That was an ordeal. So you think Brendon is in trouble? I think you're correct. One thing I know for sure...Tony Abbot (Abbo to his friends) is the Devil incarnate. Just look at his smile! It sends whatevers up and down my whatever.

Dear Fitsy,
Your insistence on posting images of J-to-tha-Hizzo, H-to-the-Wizzo at around lunch time is spoiling this bloggers appetite, thus causing me to shed some unwanted kilos. Good on you, you have acheived what Jenny Craig could not.

This juxtuposition of images with captions tell a funny story in a short time.
Not too many bloggers are using this exact technique yet.
The ABC subsidises this in that herself makes money from jjj.
Our taxes pay for the ABC
The whole world enjoys the entertainment and votes this blog the best in Australia.
Herself becomes famous and maybe rich someday. Nice.
Australian creatives become famous and maybe rich someday on the basis of raw talent and how we promote it. Nice.
Virtuous circle.
IMHO all creatives who work full time on their art deserve a living wage paid, via the government, from our taxes.
Teh interwebs is the perfect place to promote the artistic results.
The best float to the top and work in the traditional media.
Cheaper than running three tiers of government so eliminate one of them.
Cost neutral.
Much rather my children become creatives than politicans like that lot in the post.

NO-ONE would hope that they're children become politicians...at least no-one i know...

Even Downer after his 'things that batter' moment didn't sink as low as '12'. But, from memory, Lathan hovered around at 12 for a short time as well, it's just that Howard wasn't at 70 at the same time - he was at about 45. Howard at 45, Latham at 12, and presumably 'chopped liver' with a 43 percent approval rating as preferred PM.

Long. But funny. Though it did make me want to go home.

I'd be happy for my kids to be politicians. As long as they didn't have naive ideas about having any actual lasting effect.

Pays better than being a nurse, or a school teacher. Who actually do...

Still disappointed at the lack of 'funt' references so far. Johnny could have said 'I'm having fun'tonight'. Downer could have said something about his 'funtunnel' as well.

I wait in vain...

I used to love pommes noisettes when i was little, but i can't find them in the supermarket freezer anymore.

I know that they were just crumbed balls of mashed potato, deep fried in lard, but the name was so evocative... it made me feel like i was some sort of Left Bank sophisticate, hanging out with Matisse and Sartre and supping on exotic delicacies.

Pommes noisettes are way more evocative than potato gems, even though i suspect that the two are nature identical.

Hello Fits. I love it when you do the thing with the pictures. Classic. Tell me, how do I make people read my blog without being on the telly or radio? I Can't tell my friends to read what I say because they'll think im gay. Firstly for knowing what a blog is and secondly not just telling them what I want to say. If you decide that it is infact, essential that I do all the things that you do i'll replace Steger on FTBC, my credentials being that I've got much nicer hair and...Well i'm banking on the hair. I did have a blog briefly but no one ever read it. Seriously, ever.

Gerald said...
epon-anon, just for next time, the time honoured playground response to "sperm breath" is "when you fart". Spastic features was something you were more likely to see when adults were trying to get down with the kids, eg dialogue on Grange Hill.

Michael, start it up again, write 20 or so good posts, then comment on the sites of blogs you adore. Being witty helps, but don't ever try to be wittier than the hostess.

On a tangent, and back to my rant about how poor the content can be on The Age online. This gem of an intriductory sentence really got my goat this morning:

"Times may be hard in the US with the credit crunch biting hard, but that hasn't stopped a New York restaurant tempting wealthy city traders with a $180 dollar burger, flecked with gold."

Who uses the word "hard" twice in the same sentence before the first comma, and then uses both the symbol $ and the word dollar?

Does anybody even read this shit before it goes live?

Journalism my ass.

Potato Gems are not the same as Pomme Noisettes.

Not even close. It's like the difference between a latke and a potato cake. Okay, not just like that, but the amount of difference is similar.
