  Hey UMXX thanks for your brick my lovely daughter just loved pigs so this one brought back memories for me and made me smile. glad to hear you are in a calm and happy mood long may it continue hugs GXX

  Hi all,

  Glad that it cheered you up BnR - I love pigs - always have my father's chinese year was a pig = and the love of my life is a pig too. And I love real pigs also - from the little ones to the big massive hairy ones that are black and white - not feral ones though - wild pigs are really dangerous here and attack people and often kill or maim them.

  But I had an incredibly long nights sleep and didn't wake through the night with some worry or crazy ideas about the world.

  Groovy your daughter must have been a wonderful woman - and I am glad that this bought you a smile. I would be happy to do that everyday.

  Love to you all.
  It's snowy up in the mountains here!!!!!

  love UMxx

  :) yeah, ain't some of our weather of late just wonderful! Late November and we get a bit of snow. Must have a look at Ecogeek's brick 'Let it snow!' - maybe Ecogeek had something to do with it.

  I looked at your picture and thought - I know I have my teeth, 'cause they're stuck in there good and tight; so, they must be Jomo!s teeth you stole in the night! :) Just be sure to clean 'em before you return them, okay - and I won't say no more about it.

  Hi UMXX you are right my daughter was a wonderful woman
  Mebenji poor pig having to wear Jomo's teeth hope they were cleaned before the poor pig had to wear them GXX

• 24/11/2008 @ 23:53 Mebenji said

  

  They look like they were. So pretty white! Nicer than mine. (ah, but the Dentist and Technician did have to match the bridge to the adjoining teeth.)

  Groovy. Dear heart, my old friend. "Poor pig, having to wear Jomo's teeth - hope they were cleaned before the poor pig had to wear them."

  Well, This smells like War! You little devil! I can assure you that the pig had his own teeth in, and mine were nowhere near his mouth, though I may sink them into his haunch one day - how'd ya like them bacon rashers, eh!

  I dunno - turn my back on you lot for half a moment and the next thing you have a porker with my fangs in!

  I have decided not to retaliate - I have decided that I am such a nice a lovely old lady that I will forgive all, as soon as the apologetic presents start arriving...

  Lotsa toofy love
  Jo

  I see that you were involved in that also, Mybenj....

  We'll see about you, we will. Heh heh heh.

• 25/11/2008 @ 11:19 UMxx said

  

  wot's with the old bit Jomo - you are younger than me I think - come on mudguts give the piggy back his fangs

  UMxx

• 25/11/2008 @ 11:56 Jomo said

  

  I am younger than you? Uh uh. You gotta be joking. I was born in 1950, on a night when the moon was circled with rings, bad omens abounded, storms shook the sky, thunder blundered across the mountains, lightning was frightning - and Antonio the Bandito, said to his men, sit ye down, and I'll tell you a tale of such a dread curse as will even turn the likes of ye green, will turn your hair white ... etc etc

  and those are not my fangs, mine are much more worn and mangled. It comes from eating so much.

  Little pig, little pig, who has your Fangs?
  Oink oinker onk oinkish ounk ish onk
  [Translation: UMxx hid them in her caravan - shock! Horror!]

• 25/11/2008 @ 12:46 UMxx said

  

  I think I was born a million years ago - too old to remember - least you have teeth! - I have to borrow my piggy wiggy's

  UMxx

• 25/11/2008 @ 22:28 Jomo said

  

  Run for your lives! Flee, little pig, flee! Children, drop your toys and softdrink bottles and RUN!!!!

  The UMxxoraptor is nearly upon us - cloned from a scrap of tooth in a Russian laboratory, this mighty creature will rule the world again as it did a million years ago - just remember, the only safety, the only antidote is Petunias - UMxxoraptor cannot resist Petunias -

  It is also possible that if you are being attacked by this ferocious creature and you start to wail and cry, the UMxxoraptor may bend low over you, and say something like - "aw - don't cry, mudguts! It's only me!"

• 26/11/2008 @ 08:50 UMxx said

  

  ggggGGGrrrrrrRRRRRRoooooOOOOAAAAARRRRR,
  I want my petunias

• 27/11/2008 @ 03:29 butterfliesnroses said

  

  LOL!!!!!!!

• 28/11/2008 @ 23:24 groovy said

  

  So jomo If its war you want its war you'll get and talking of age don't forget 58 is the new 60 sorry didn't know you hadn't lent the nice pig your teeth cos the ones he was wearing looked just like yours no appolgetic prezzies from me sorry old chum love ya G xx

• 29/11/2008 @ 00:51 Jomo said

  

  At least I have some teeth, unlike some of you gummy sharks out there.

  I bet you lot all have teeth made out of hickory wood, like Abraham Lincoln. Or someone like that.

  My teeth are all bought and paid for, so there.

  UMxxoraptor - for one hundred petunias and a wedge of Scots Tablet, will you trample my enemies? Gently trample, no bones broke, just a sort of half-prod will do. Not really into violence, me.

  I love you all, and forgive you all, and see how kind and magnanimous I am? See what big words I can spell?

  I should give Mr Obama a run for his money as Presiduck of the United Straits. [Aren't the poor devils in dire straits?]

  I go now to create bricks... heh heh heh

• 29/11/2008 @ 02:21 Mebenji said

  

  I'm a gummy bear, in my underwear...but I bought and paid for a few front teeth, in the form of a bridge - and it doesn't look like a coat-hanger either!

  I'd vote for you to be President of Australia, Jomo...UMxxoraptor can be our Minister for Defence....Overseas would you like to immigrate and be our Minister for Foreign Affairs?...

  I'm going out for this afternoon, so I will see you new bricks later, Jomo...:) Have fun, Chum - You too, Groovy, would you immigrate too? We find a job for you! And BnR? Oh hell...I'd invite so many of you on BWW - Swon would head the Australian Bureau of Statistics and count you all as you arrive! (Which means, of-course, he'll have to arrive here first, and count himself.)

  *sigh* gotta go and put more clothes on and go...not that many would notice if I did turn up half-naked, but some would and wonder if I came to the right party.

  Hey Mebenji yes i'd emmigrate will you have me?
  G xx

• 30/11/2008 @ 12:01 UMxx said

  

  Well I think Benj we need to put this to Kevin - we should form citizen committees and be given clear powers to invite all those that we would like to live with - it would work a treat - far better than the funny tribunals and laws - Why don't we just bring all of the Wallers here?

  I do think that Overseas should be considered as Minsiter for the Arts and Culture and not Foreign Affairs - We won't need a Foreign Affairs ministry because every one wil be here!
  Umxx

  When are you arriving Groovy?
  UMxx

• 30/11/2008 @ 13:04 Jomo said

  

  Er - UMxx - I don't think that you have thought this quite through - there may be a fair number of Wallers who are very happy to stay right where they are, and the thought of taking up residence in Australia quite horrific to them...

  As for asking Little Kevvie - good grief, the man is practically my brother, my son went to the same school as he did, so no worries, mate!

• 01/12/2008 @ 02:44 Mebenji said

  

  Wouldn't being in the (+/- a couple hours) same time zone be incentive enough? Not to mention other possibilities we would be more able to take up if we chose.

  I did invite you, didn't I, Groovy - why aren't your bags packed yet?

  Yes, of-course, UM - you are absolutely right about the job of Foreign Affairs. It will be made redundant so we'll have to find a job for whoever is right now, huh? Don't remind who that is, okay? I might be tempted to make them go through the whole process of finding a job like other people do, and living on Unemployment Benefits, Centrelink, Job Search Agencies and stuff...that's too cruel!

  -Mebenji

• 01/12/2008 @ 04:59 Jomo said

  

  How about Work for the Dole? That might liven 'em up a bit.

• 01/12/2008 @ 23:26 groovy said

  

  Yes my bags are packed just tell me when you want me to arrive, and what post i will hold i think i could give your present govenment a run for it's money G xx

• 02/12/2008 @ 12:53 Mebenji said

  

  Yeah, Jomo, but it's gotta be for real - no knowing how long it will last, all the same rules, useless training courses, somehow having time and enough money to go for job interviews (we take their usual closthes, home, car away too.) and satisfying centrelink that you are trying to find a job, while working their work for the dole job.

  If I'm not careful this could become another 'real life' t.v. show - and the winner who finally does get a job gets to then, and only then, go back to their old life before the show took everything, including their dignity, away from them.

  What about Treasurer, Groovy? Really, you can pick whatever isn't taken yet. Now stop asking questions and get moving!

  -Mebenji

• 04/12/2008 @ 10:48 groovy said

  

  Ok Ok i'm on my way and i wwill take the treasurers job don't have any money of my own so playing with others peoples would be real good Gxx

• 04/12/2008 @ 12:03 Mebenji said

  

  I am thinking you would more sensibly allocate funds than those who have been have done. You know, I think us who have little money do learn better how to prioritise spending.

  -Mebenji

• 05/12/2008 @ 07:45 UMxx said

  

  Sometimes I wonder what is the point of small economies like our pretending that we can control our own economies because we just aren't powerful enough - but then if we didn't then we would be overrun with the crazy ideas of those crazy people from that other country. Yep I am up for Groovy to be Treasurer - or even the Minister for Employment, or Minister for Anything she wants. Me I wan't to be a senior policy adviser to the Prime Minister - if only to hear what the other dodos are telling him!
  

• 05/12/2008 @ 11:18 Mebenji said

  

  The only qualification you need for that job, UM, is to want to be with and talk often to Jomo. That being the case, I want that job, too! But you'll get it 'cause you'll keep a better record of what the dodos are saying, and report it all more accurately to The People.

  & a beautiful new AVatar you have, UM. :)

  -Mebenji

• 05/12/2008 @ 22:50 groovy said

  

  So jobs are sorted and i'm sure to allocate the money fairly because i know what its like to strugle. But maybe i would like to be the minister for education i would say free education for all that way we can all be brainy G xx

• 05/12/2008 @ 22:52 groovy said

  

  Sorry UMXX forgot to say i love your new avatar G xx

• 06/12/2008 @ 02:21 Jomo said

  

  Ahhh - yes, I love the new petunia - just delicious.
  

• 06/12/2008 @ 08:23 Mebenji said

  

  Anyone wanting an audience with Jomo shall bring delicious petunias and/or black jelly beans. Anyone refusing to obey this new law shall be looking after the very bad sheeps for a month and live on Turnips for the duration. ('cause I'm not squshing all of them for the making of Turnip Wine for those sheeps. I just don't want them to get dehydrated.)

  -Mebenji

• 06/12/2008 @ 08:54 UMxx said

  

  Wouldn't it be great if there was free education - not just for university degrees but for everyone - so that people who lived in hostels could choose courses in the ancient art of reading horoscopes by the direction of the grain of wood if they wanted, anything that enriched their lives - older people, young people, homeless - I am sure it would be better to fill our lives following our noses down rabbit holes than it does to make learning all about productivity and economic rationalism. How would you cope with that Groovy? Do you think you could fund that?
  UMxx

• 07/12/2008 @ 16:03 groovy said

  

  Yes UMXX i could cope with that no probs so i take it that the job of minster for education is mine? So my first decree is that people who want to study reading wood grain horiscopes will do so on mondays.
  Don't worry Mebenji i am planting pertuias as we speak can't have jomo going without an audience can we and turnip wine for the sheep why not market it as a new flavour for people? Love G XX

  Who's going to grow that many turnips?

• 08/12/2008 @ 05:46 Mebenji said

  

  Ooops - looks like I've answered my own questions.

  I need more feet...I haven't had any for a while now...now I'll have to get some, lots of 'em! All with Crocs to fit them. Sorry Jomo, there may be a Croc shortage for a while.

  -Mebenji

• 08/12/2008 @ 08:29 Jomo said

  

  ooooh - I am so aaaaaaaaaaaaaashamed.

  I bought a new pair today - 40% off, down to $29! It was almost as if the Universe MEANT for me to have pale pinky pearly Crocs - really, doncha think?

  Oh dear. I have no-one to answer to but me, and she is one ferocious sod when I go over budget...

  Ouch.

• 08/12/2008 @ 08:48 Mebenji said

  

  Don't be too hard on yourself, Jomo - you're doing the country a favour, helping to bolster the economy, you know?

  -Mebenji

• 08/12/2008 @ 13:19 Jomo said

  

  Absolutely correct, Mebenji. I am in awe of your grasp of economics.

  Please note that I am being good and spelling you properly.

  Jomo.

  Can Koala's Stamp? Is that what I hear in the trees behind? Koalas stamping? I have been blaming the poor little possums.
