    “This funny hat is one of the souvineers I’ll take home to Hawaii.
    As Minister of Tourism, of course…”

    Like all moronic Tories John Key thinks he has a sense of humor.
    Everyone is laughing at you John, not with you.

    “Im a little tea-pot, rort and tout
    here is my handle here is my spout
    I steam through Laws, they’re there to flout…”

      ..silly hats and prat falls is all they/you have..eh..?

      You know, I’d rather have Jayne as PM over Key… though River and Simon and Kaylee as co-leaders would be ideal (or Bill and Laura if they aren’t available).

        1. 27.2.1.1

          Now I’m thinking of the amazing soundscape of “Exercise One”, for no particular reason other than it’s awesome.

          1. 27.2.1.1.1

            Hour after hour of soaking in that music from age 13 on,
            much more eclectic tastes now, Still, Joy Division, just Wow, recently replaced LWTUA poster for my living-room wall, own An Ideal For Living, Touching From A Distance, albums, eps,
            *Atmosphere*

      I like this image – so in keeping with the image of how a prime minister should be. Unlike Cameron, we can keep it from scrolling out of sight…

      We respect how a prime mincer chooses to appear.

      2. 31.2.2

        “We respect how a prime mincer chooses to appear.”
        proof being that despite probable temptation, no-one has linked to the other version which appeared over the weekend. Where the beak was replaced with [also knitted] appendages not normally found protruding from the forehead. 🙂

      and so has Kiwiblog and KeepingStock – but they are different eco systems – nothing wrong with lots of sites running caption contest – a lot of the users here would not have seen them on the others sites.

    Mickey Mouse ears are a national symbol of the United States … but that does’t President Obama ever wears them.

    1. 46.1

      ” but that does’t President Obama ever wears them.”

      FFS Hooten you are supposed to be able to write a sentence. but obviously you have someone else check it for foolish mistakes. Can’t have been around, huh,

    “Camera, microphone and headphones built in, antennae built into the braids, eh, and all connected to PRISM? For undercover operatives investigating youth subversion?”

    1. 51.1

      mac1 you haven’t studied it properly.

      That’s the camera on top. The antennae is in the nose. The braids disguise the listening devices woven in so that they’re undetectable. Very clever and using the PM too… who woulda thunk.

    John Key looking for the Westie vote. Is there a snap election in the air ?

    Everything happens for a reason, especially for a consummate corporate
    climber like our John.

    I’m a little kiwi
    Short and stout
    Here is my handle
    Here is my spout
    When I get all steamed up
    Hear me shout
    Greens all over
    Voted me out!

    1. 63.1

      Or
      When I get all steamed up
      Hear me shout
      Greens all over
      Sic them out.

      An alternative version. (I’m a Green voter by the way.)

    1. 67.1

      Probably would be more on the 80-20 Rule soon, down to 20% Pure. Which of course would be impure at that dilution.

    1. 68.1

      the pigman
      There was a NZ childrens pop song way back called Stickybeak the Kiwi. Perhaps we could adopt it as Key’s anthem.

    I’m getting out of here. I don’t seem to be able to restrain myself from adding little things to the clever quips.

    John Key taking a leaf out of the Labour playbook ‘mmm note to self need to be more fresh/retro/hip/’

    “We thought that we should find a use for all that wildlife we are removing from the Denniston Plateau.”

    “I am following the advice from those friendly chaps at Crosby + Textor that elections are won by displaying ’emotional intelligence’ rather than arguing the toss. That is done by the courts and the inuversities .. I fink.

    Gee, don’t I look emotionally intelligent ? Even the protection chappie behind me is smiling. As P.T. Barnum put it, a new one is born every minute ..

    Make sure you publish the best angle .. when Tuhoe came to parliament I saluted the short one with the tatts, ah yes – Tame Iti – there was a nice shot from behind on TV.

    I think that’s a kiwi’s head I’m wearing.

    Symbolic, really.

    How do you like my ‘cockney’ ?

    Can I show you a few tricks ? No ? Really ?
    I can change a few laws around here, you know.”

    If you don’t like my principles…well. I have others. Groucho Marx, he’s great, such a robust philosopher.

    “Yeah, I’m a real dickhead, hahaha and the Prime Minister of New Zealand. Can you believe it?”
