Friends, Romans, Northlanders (er.. is Rome in Northland? Must be.) How about a new coliseum – for bread and circuses.
One of those is Cleopatra , Queen of the North
A new Star has risen.
All hail Emperor Ossie Osborne!
It’s my own hair, honest
I come to bury John key. Not to praise him.
Did I get it right Mr Joyce?
“Fiends, Romeos and County bumpkins ,
Lend me your years!”

Et Tu Steve?
Forget zero hour contracts… lets bring back the good old days of slavery.
The white robed emperor of Rom who answers questions with the stock phrase, “No, not at all!”
He needs to be suddenly asked this:
“Mr O, are you trustworthy?”
“No, not at all!”
Some real “Not at all” references found here:
I’m ready for my close-up now, Mr Joyce…
At least he had the good sense not to wear purple.
From Nero to Zero….. all in one weekend!
My contributions:
“And the prize for runner up goes to …”
“I may have misunderstood when Mr Joyce said I was in the sheet”
“Whaddya mean ‘typical Tory sense of entitlement’?”
“All dusty roads lead to Rome”
“Me too, Brutus (Have I got that right, Mr Joyce?)”
This reminds me of when my friend Mike Sabin made me dress up as an altar boy.

@ felix 🙂
national party initiation rites..
The only caption needed is “WTF?”
What do you mean beware the Ides of march ? The 15th has passed. Arrrgggghhh Winston!
Is that the cup Joyce is going to put my balls in if I lose.
sabin-swap-club partygoers..
[Probably a bit to close to the bone, Phil, so I’ve changed a word. You know what happens if you expose TS to the risk of legal shenanigans 😉 Welcome back. TRP]
Herman won’t be coming.

“What a con artist Northland loses in me”
Osborne will be remembered for the early votes cast. People couldn’t wait to vote to send a message of being a side-show by his sidekick.
“Hey Mike what mystery is hidden under your cloak of silence… How did you guess Steve Joyce is hidden under mine..oh right you can see the soles of his feet sticking out the front.”
“Dressed up to the Nones.”
Emperor Oslatum awaits the reading of the entrails (as supplied by Cosby Textor) whilst in the background lurks invisibly Praetorian Quintus Stephanus Iocius .
“Prize pet poodle gets cup as well as gold ribbon.”
The Poodles of NZ will be up in paws at that comment – they wouldn’t be seen DEAD with this numpty – I know – My poodle told me!!
” Pontius Pilot reincarnates for Northland election in Nu Zeelund.”
Kings and Emperors having their own personal fools – a tradition that endures!!!
Cheap shots against NZF in parliament hit a new low in QT yesterday. During the Fraser commiseration speaches, Dunne could not help himself. Smearing the speach of the deputy NZF as having been scrapped from wikipedia. She did not rise to him and ask for an apology. Obviously many Ozzies, like myself, would require wiki to find out about our former PM and do not need Dunne insulting us all about lacking internet skills at such a important time, and such a giant figure in OZ history. NZF being a NZ nationalist party of the right isnt expected to have Dunnes long discredited career of sitting on the fence doin nothing in successes govts of left and right.
The wife says ” Joyce s fat hands have stretched the controls on my dummy”
lol
Mark Antony and Marcus Osbornius Agrippa win best in show.
Saturday’s sacrificial lamb trimmed and ready for roasting in gold ribbon.
Fwenz, womans, and countwymen – let’s have some beers!
I have come not to pwaise Sabin, but to buwy him…
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interwed with their bones
So let it be with Sabin. The noble Winsthon
Hath told you Sabin was a typical Gnat candidate
If it were so, it was a gwievous fault…

Throw them to the lions!
Throw them to the lions!
Throw them to the lions!
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
Apologies to Iggy Pop.
Veni, vidi,…?
I came, I saw, I conked out
This picture is inauspicious.
From rags to riches.
Now to play the fiddle while my electorate vote burns…
Saturday wasn’t Mark Osborne’s best night ever.
Not only was there the by-election outcome to deal with, but also the Awful Horror of being the only one to turn up in fancy dress…
1. John Key doesn’t dye his hair.
2. These are my natural eyebrows.
3. Winston Peters has zero chance of winning Northland.
