Caption contest

Thanks to all the other writers for excellent pieces on the serious issues. Time for a lighter subject. Fortunately, when you’ve got a clown for PM, there’s always a laugh to be had.

Couldn’t help wondering why Key’s sitting in the middle row here. Made way for Brownlee Maximus perhaps?

    Sitting in the Second row ? .
    The camera ! since they dont use a wide angle he has to join the background.

    Was a similar tactic to Stalin who would sit in a lessor position. But of course the applause was still the greatest

    Key forces Brownlee to pay for his recently granted powers by getting him to hide under the podium* and help recreate his favourite scene from ‘Police Academy’

    Capture ‘Theoretical’. I bloody hope so…

    *Yeah really, it work’s like the tardis.

        damn – I was just going to make a line about massage seats, but that blows it out of the water.

        erm – as it were. Almost as freakishly appropriate word choices as the captcha-ghost often manages.

    Jonkeys thought bubble:

    “aww mannnn – I shouldn’t have laced spliff with acid. I am sooooo fucked. What is he even saying? Man, those people in the gallery look like ants, sparkly blue ants. Oh shit, if I let go of this chair I might fall into the roof! “

    They do put the more photogenic MPs behind those who are going to speak to show the youthfulness of the Party. I suspect that some MPs are there just to fill that role.

    Caption: “I must remember to look relaxed. Oops. Silly Billy. You nearly slipped right onto the floor. I must just keep on smiling and stay on camera.”

    This is going to mean nothing much to anyone who hasn’t seen the brilliant Canadian comedy “Billable Hours” but Key in that pic… I swear for a split second I thought we’d elected Mortie Fagen to Parliament!

    Same thin grasp on reality; same cheerful demeanour while all about him turns to poop (as Fagen would say)… can it be long before Key comes to work without his pants? (a favourite Fagen habit). Yet Fagen is meant to be suffering dementia and is about 30 years Key’s senior.

    That’s just… spooky.

    As for the caption:

    “No I am soooo not pissed off! John said that when Mars invades it’ll be me in charge! And it wasn’t me on the Beehive roof with a tinfoil hat and a mirror, that was someone else, damnit!”

    If TVNZ see me they may offer me a job as Paul Holmes or Paul Henry’s prat fall partner. See I can pull funny faces.
