“I get more pussy than u”
(by SockPuppet – your insitive Melbourne blogger and social commenter)
Another example of progressive Melbourne?
I have some questions for the hotlooking chick holding up the “pussy” sign at Yesterdays ‘marriage equality’ rally in Melbourne:
1. If you are getting so much “pussy” why do you want to get married to just one woman? You will get a lot less pussy that way.
2. If you are lesbian why are you standing so close to what looks more like a bloke in the black Tshirt?
3. If the ‘bloke’ in the black T shirt is female is she your lesbian lover?
4. If you answer yes to question 3 Why are you wasting yourself on her?
5. Is that bald bloke behind you picking his nose your Dad or your stalker? He looks like one.
6. Would you be interested in a threesome with Laura and me?
And for Gig Guy – see what I mean about Victoria now? It is all action here buddy, you would not see this in western muslim Sydney would you?

Poofter penguins, lesbian lions, gay gibbons and David Attenborough
I have watched far too many nature documentaries during the course of my life and these days if I am clicking through the TV offerings and land on any offerings from David Attenborough you would not see my finger hit the next button because it happens with out a seconds delay. That said I do appreciate the quality of the footage and the insights into the natural world its just that I think there is only so much of that stuff that anyone can watch in their life time before their brain explodes form shear boredom. Now we have a Gay activist whining that David Attenborough is “ignoring” instances of homosexuality in nature:
Click for link
Obviously this stems from a desire by many homosexuals to argue against the description of their sexuality as “unnatural”. To this end they scour studies of animal behaviour to find instances of same sex couplings and “gay” sexual activity. Of course there are examples of this aberrant behaviour in other species but as it can not produce progeny it is biologically entirely pointless. That does not mean that we can, by extension, deride and dismiss human homosexuality. Such behaviour does seem to be in the nature of a small percentage of our species and I personally don’t see what all the fuss is about as long as we respect the rights of all of our individuals to share their genitalia with any other consenting adult regardless of their gender it does not matter to me how “natural” or ” unnatural” such behaviour is. Maybe its time for Gay activists like Brett Mills to get over himself and stop trying to force all of society to think the same way that he does about sexuality.

Booking seats on the Titanic
Hmm you have got to love those Loopy Greens and their Peons in that Quango invented by Gillard to buy their parliamentary endorsement…

While I certainly do understand the strict letter of the law interpretation of the “caretaker conventions ” its ludicrous that this Quango is prepared to enter into contracts and disperse Largess in the full knowledge that the coalition will close down the Quango at the earliest possible opportunity. Frankly I suspect that those who enter into contracts with this instrumentality would have a very hard time suing for compensation after a change of government because the coalition have made it very clear that that they will wind up this utterly useless sop to Greens ideology and its likely that a judge would agree with the incoming government that any contracts would be void and not liable to compensation. Even if this were not the case its unlikely that the Green cronies would have spent all of the 10 billion by September 14 so all the Greens could hope to do is deprive the treasury of some budgetary savings when this quango is abolished.
Finally what is the bet that all employees of this Quango are on short term contracts?

A new scheme to extract energy from spinning girls will have the dual benefit of creating employment for the pretty young things and they will be less of a threat to bird-life than the wind farms that they will replace.

Tawny Frog-mouth with two chicks
Do you all remember that I posted a picture of the Tawny frog-moth that is nesting in the tree next to my house? Well my son noticed that there are now two chicks keeping company with the mother bird in the nest this morning and of course we had to share the good News with the Sandpit’s readers the first two pictures were taken by my son and the last two by me.
Ain’t nature Grand Comrades?

Pretty flowers and fine feathers
Bromilads are one of my favorites of the epiphites
we have a tawny frogmouth sitting on eggs in the tree adjacent to our house
I don’t know what this is called but it is stunningly beautiful
Just thought I’d share some of the wonders here at Chez Hall…

The answer is not blowing in the wind (turbines)
The loopy Greens just love wind energy and in theory it sounds great if you have a good site but like so many schemes to save the planet there are always those pesky “unintended consequences) like maintenance issues and well tendency of these machines to chop up all kinds of birds both common and endangered,
Broken promises: The rusting wind turbinesof Hawaii
Paul GIPE, a former California wind company executive, calls what happened next a ‘tax credit frenzy’.
‘The lure of quick riches resulted in shoddy products that littered California with poorly operating — sometimes non-operating — turbines.’
They were expensive and badly designed. Some were far too small to make a difference, others were just clunky machines designed by the aero industry with blades the length of a rugby pitch.
But thanks to the subsidies, it hardly mattered that some of the untested turbines were so sub-standard they barely even worked.
Not to put too fine a point on it, for some wind energy investors it was simply a tax scam.
But as tends to happen with a business that is driven by financial incentives, it lasted only as long as the subsidies. In 1986, the price of oil tumbled and the subsidies started to die out. Suddenly, the wind energy sums didn’t add up any more.
And just like the gold rush miners who had rushed to the same Californian passes a century earlier, the wind prospectors departed in such a hurry that they didn’t even bother to take down the turbines they had littered across the state.
With so many moving parts to worry about, maintaining turbines is expensive — too expensive when the electricity they could produce was suddenly worth so little.
‘So when something broke, you simply didn’t send a repairman because it just didn’t make financial sense,’ Hawaii wind sceptic Andrew Walden told me.
With some turbine makers going out of business, there were no spare parts either.
According to the California Energy Commission, the collapse in subsidies stalled the state’s huge wind energy industry for nearly two decades.
No one who has driven past one of America’s mega wind farms today can fail to be struck by how few have blades that are turning, even in strong winds.
The truth is that even fewer may be producing electricity than it appears. Many are switched to a mode in which the blades continue to turn just to keep oil moving around the mechanism, but no electricity is produced.
Unfortunately, the frenzy of windmill building during the wind rush didn’t just ruin the view, but also devastated the wildlife.
No one noticed until far too late that the 5,000-turbine wind farm at Altamont Pass is on a major migratory path for birds. The National Audubon Society, America’s RSPB, has called it ‘probably the worst site ever chosen for a wind energy project’.
It seems rather obvious to me that until they actaully design wind turbines that don’t fail in service and that don’t shred the creatures of the air then that “dirty” coal fired power station is looking like a far more benign option for the environment than wind power… now can someone please explain that to Bob Brown and Christine Milne?

Blokes who notice those bouncing boobies
I’m a bloke, so its in my DNA to like looking at the female of the species and I am not ashamed to admit it either. If they were being honest I think most other men would agree that they are precisely the same (well except for our friends on the other team). But we humble blokes have to negotiate a minefield when it comes to enjoying what we see. If we are too flagrant about it some women take offence. Frankly that strikes me as being something of a double standard, akin to an advertiser getting upset that the audience notices their product.

Of course we blokes should treat all women with respect but as Bettina Arndt suggests isn’t it time that women realise that if you put on a display then ordinary blokes will notice and when they do don’t get offended.

The Wallaby tour of Chez Hall
My son is something of a nature lover and a budding photographer to boot and he took some photos of a couple of visiting wallabies here at chez Hall this morning which I now share.
