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*

Ummmm pomme noisettes....
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.
*shakes head sadly and walks slowly away clicking tongue*
'Ms Fits? My lawyer will be talking to you, sperm breath! Fuck you!'
a winning margin for doctor b!
Sometimes I miss primary school. Spastic features.
yuck
What, you've got them?
Can't .. get .. image .. out .. of .. head
Anyway Brendan is a (my mother won't let me say it) head.
oh that's good!
I love these :)
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.
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...
*ack*
Cruel.
Cruel!
GOLD. Oh wow I laughed so hard at that.
GOLD. Oh wow I laughed so hard at that.
I wait in vain...
your witty repartee makes my day - gimme an M! gimme an S! gimme a space! gimme an F! gimme an I! gimme a T! gimme an S!
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.
if *only* you'd thrown in the 'Points', Eurovision-stylee and with a phonetic key - all my fortunes at they foot i'd lay &c...

"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.
Do you run classes in improving ones witty repartee ? - cause mine's shit-house..
(walks away, arms and legs in unison)
Arrggh Camel toe!
I like this one Ms Fts. I actually laughed a bit, not just a chuckle.

No....
NO NO NO NO!!!
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.
I do feel sorry for poor darling Brendan. Thought about sending him some warm milk and warm blankets for the cold dark nights in the woods.
Then again...
Classic.
Classic.
