MON07MAY

Wanted: Witness.





Yesterday morning I was having a much-needed Bloody Mary with my friend Nicko before heading into the Cherry Rock festival (it was charmed, thank you for asking. One day I will join Dynamo). I was particularly overtired which may be why I found the following classified so wonderful:




'WANTED: WITNESS TO NAKED BALD DWARF VS THREE WILD DOGS FIGHT


Help settle a workplace bet - did you see this battle on Swanston st outside Hungry Jacks, about 10:30pm last Friday night? Please come forward and confirm to my workmate what took place and I will win $50 bet. The truth will come out. 10% cut if you can confirm story. $25 for photo evidence. Email your version of events to smokevswater@hotmail.com'




1. Partially I wanted to help spread the word, which is why I posted this. I am an inherently nice person.



2. Do you really think the words 'bald' or 'naked' were necessary in this description? I want to meet the guy who reads the ad and says 'Well, I did see a midget tussling with some angry dobermans last week...but I can't recall whether he was wearing clothes or not. Best leave it for now.'



3. What on earth was the naked bald dwarf thinking? One wild dog, maybe. Three? YOU'RE AIMING TOO HIGH, MY VERTICALLY-CHALLENGED FRIEND.


4. I need to hang out in the CBD more. There's just no other way to look at it. Excitement clearly abounds.




190 days til the next election.

I think I saw that show at the Sydney Biennale a few years ago.

I'm in awe. And now also have "can I get a witness" stuck in my head. Actually, fuck it – can someone remake "Witness" only with this event as the plot line?

ah this is one of those bogus notices posted up the back of (beat? inpress? i forget) every week. while on the surface the fight appears perfectly reasonable, the giveaway is the email address.

ps: there is no santa.

Indeed it does look like one.

Here's something for Paris Hilton also:
"He used to bring me roses
I wish he could again,
but that was on the outside
and things were different then.

On the inside the sun still shines
and the rain falls down,
but the sun and rain are prisoners too
when morning comes around.

Last night I dreamed we were together
sharing all the love we've known,
'til I had to face the nightmare
of waking up alone.

On the inside the roses grow
they don't mind the stony ground,
but the roses here are prisoners too
when morning comes around."

Well, it's the sort of thing that would happen in that particular section of Swanston st. Either there or a studio at Channel 9 on a Thursday night.

PS: In your gig guide the link to Little Red's Myspace page actually goes to the page of a 23 year old in Virginia who's into Maroon 5. Is this a mistake?

A complete mistake. Sorry, will remedy when I get a moment.

I don't see how Little Red - the band could conceivably be better than Little Red - the myspace page.

I wonder how you tell they're wild dogs? Maybe they were tame dogs that just don't like dwarfs.

I know someone said it was bogus, but god, I want to believe.

So ... a bald naked dwarf, being chased by three wild dogs, hides away in an Amish town. Hot Amish chick falls for bald naked dwarf. Bald naked dwarf helps build funky old-school Amish barn to crap synthesizer music. Three wild dogs find out where bald naked dwarf is hiding, and they all have a big fight in a grain silo (which looks remarkably like Hungry Jacks on Swanston St) ...

Yeah. I can see that working.

As the word verification would say, "ftncqcnc".

Not wanting to be a killjoy, but could we please draw a distinction between the words midget and dwarf?

Thanks!

Do you only get part of the cut if you can't confirm if the dwarf was clothed?

Ben said...

Of course, Em. A midget is a person of unusually short stature. A dwarf is a midget who fights wild dogs.

the ad is a joke by this guy who one day on a whim sent a classified into a local rag about needing ghostly spirits to freak out his ex girlfriend or something. after that he made sure he sent in a bizarre classified every time the periodical came out.
theres a whole collection of the classifieds he sent in, in a street 'zine he published, "no time wasters."
