Email to:Mr Bill O’Slatter Still Refusing To Vote For KJ!
http://2008.weblogawards.org/polls/best-australia-or-new-zealand-blog/
Update!!!!! As if I’m not fraught enough (just CHEWED through the cord of my home foot massager)…….I’ve just heard back from Mr Bill O’Slatter. He remains firmly up himself – still maintaining the Weblog Awards have as much allure as Bronywn Bishop at an intimate apparel promotion……………..
Well, Mr O’Slatter you are wrong, wrong, WRONG! I’ve only had one BIG opportunity before and I lost my nerve. There she was – Sister Mary of CANER – delicately poised on the top step of St Joseph’s Church, Leeton. I was just behind….Father forgive me for I know what I do, Father forgive me for I know what I do………and then, I FAILED to follow through on THE PUSH. Well, Mr O’Slatter, despite the stress – can’t even look at food, socialise, enjoy theatre, lose myself in music – and having the libido of a gnat – THIS TIME I am following through. Will you not reconsider?
Here is Mr O’Slatter’s latest correspondence:
Very flattering KJ , the trouble you can get into on this interthing. As the nuns may have pointed out to to you in between bouts of senseless punishment, there are moral situations. However, if you want to run for Mayor of Leeton that is a different story (from the weblog awards) and I would be more than willing to offer advice should that situation arise.
*For those of you who haven’t been following this Mr O’Slatter thingo just keep going…….for those of you who are across the situation, leave now and pump up the plebiscite!
This is the face (and torso) of the man who refuses to vote for KJ in the weblog awards.
Greek and loving it,
Where are you in this fraught year?
Not since Missolonghi have we had such a time, a Turk hacker in the dying part of 2008 and now The Election.
Have you marshalled Greek Forces?
Have you exercised your rights under Demokratia to vote every 24 hours at:
http://2008.weblogawards.org/polls/best-australia-or-new-zealand-blog/
Remember Marathon!
GREEK AND LOVING IT:
THE LONELY SCHOLAR:
Re voting: Thank you Meg for suggesting that I may have a strategy for increasing votes for Kerrie Jean blog. Yes I do.
The Foucauldian approach is one that immediately comes to mind. Think of his story of Diogenes – who was renowned for not only eating in the market place but also for relieving sexual urges there – owner/operator style. Diogenes’ point of view on this was: Why not? And his technique, although brutal and crass, was effective (and if you find this distasteful just think how the world would be improved if rubbing a stomach were to satisfy pangs of hunger)
Foucaults’ advice was not a moral prescription on living, but self control (or in this case self-stimulation) as a means of embracing one’s pleasures and improving the world to boot.
In my last couple of months researching the blogging world through qualitative participation in KJ (hosted by RN, a station of ideas) I have come to understand the power of ‘the right time’ (and here I am inspired by Greek and loving it) an approach that straddled a whole range of ancient Greek arts and sciences from medicine to government. This is the time for action. We all take a photo of ourselves in action, post it on this site and bingo the votes are ours.
I wonder should I copy this to the Dean?
KJ – NOW, YOU SIT UP AND TAKE NOTICE LONELY SCHOLAR, YOU SIT UP AND TAKE NOTICE! AM I RIGHT? THAT YOU ARE INVOKING THE NAME OF A SEMINAL THINKER TO SUGGEST THAT KJ’S SITE (HER LIFE’S WORK!) BECOME A FORUM FOR SELF-PLEASURERS?
WELL, HERE’S THE LATE MAIL LONELY SCHOLAR…..AND MAY I INVOKE MR K MARX HERE – HAVE YOU NOT HEARD OF THE LAW OF DIMINISHING RETURNS?!!
AND SHOULD YOU COPY YOUR MISSIVE TO YOUR DEAN? – GO AHEAD! JUST YOU GO AHEAD! HAVE A CONFERENCE ON THE MATTER, GET AN ARC GRANT, BOOK AN INTERNATIONAL KEYNOTE SELF-PLEASURER, HAVE A SELF-PLEASURERS CONFERENCE HARBOUR CRUISE – DO WHAT YOU WILL!!!
……….I REALLY DON’T KNOW WHAT MAKES SOME PEOPLE TICK!
But…………back to business: Please tell Mr O’Satter to vote – and tell him why this is NO time to be up himself.
Just click on the ‘comment’ thingo and follow the simple instructions. The place to write your gems is at the bottom of the last published comment. *A little bit of counsel for people new to this caper. Your email (just called ‘mail’ in this case) address does NOT come up on site. And just ignore the ‘website’ space – not necessary!

Dear Mr O’Slatter,
There’s something dark and mysteriously charming about your posts. I am not sure, but perhaps we met once at the Sydney Writers Festival workshop when I presented a short essay on Jane Austen and how Income interfered with Eros.
Do you remember me? I did not wear my glasses that day through vanity and I had difficulty in reading my manuscript.
I think that KJ will yet win your Fitzwilliam Darcy persona over to her chaste and noble Cause, and like The Ginger Man, you will add a courageous Irish vote every 24 hours at

KJ: Dear Pandora. I don’t know how to say this BUT (and I’ve had to say it twice before but not to you dearie) this is NOT a lonely hearts site. The only person allowed to pick up in here is KJ…..
Sorry, but rules are rules. And apologies to you Mr O’Slatter…….

Greek and Loving It,
Once again, you hit the spot. Surely you will siphon more than a few votes to KJ.
It is all part of the INCENTIVIZATION which did not work for Hewson, but may for Kerrie Jean.
I feel sorry for the Chief Monk and his followers. How fraught they must feel now that El Djinn, the Ginger Man has abandoned the dervishes. Only Ralph Blur, as described in the previous string, can lead us in pursuit of this strangest of persons.
I am intrigued by the Greek classical references in Ginger’s coded messages, and what the heck has Big Swifty got to do with all this?

Dear Mr O’Slatter,
I think you should vote for KJ, but I share your uneasiness about such polls, and The Bloggess made some very good points to her minions.
Quality does not seem to influence polls. KJ, however, is trying to turn the ship around.
Channel Nine polls are not likely to indicate that revolution is just around the Corner or that wars are nasty and unwise. Leunig makes some fine points about Awards in his latest book.
This Poll seems to be trying to convince us that most intelligent people read The Daily Telegraph and think the Cronulla Rioters had a point.
Blah to Blair !
I wonder what The Ginger Man will discover through his weird Poll Intelligence operations. It’s all over the Top.
One thing, never roll over! Underpooch did it once and seriously regretted it as there was no tickle, but a kick in the guts, but that’s another story.

As some Americans would say, What the Sam Hill’s going on here?
Not since I saw Peter Falk in Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter (you got everybody here but the Albanians) have I seen such a mess of characters.
As for Ginger Mate, I looked up the Epitaph on Timon in my Penguin Book of Greek Verse, and it says
After eating much and drinking much
And speaking much abuse against Mankind
I lie here, Timon of Rhodes.
Drinking too much absinthe, I’d say.
These Intelligence Wallahs !
What’s The Ginger Man up to? Where’s he gone now?
He’s ruined my peace of mind, the bastard.

Ralph Blur with a Channel Ten News Update
The trail in the search for The Ginger Man, or El Djinn as he is known to Dervish followers, has grown cold.
The trail comes to an end at the windswept airport near Narrandera.
(Cut to Ahmed, airport attendant)
Ahmed: He give me Vindication Air ticket. I say no good only get you knee height off tarmac maybe. He use Darvesh Credit Card to buy Cunard Lingus ticket to Dublin. I say OK Chief Monk my Cousin.
How was his appearance?
Man very tired. He have green Trinity scarf tied around lots of bottles.

KJ, it’s time to call a union meeting.
January 10th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
Dear, dear Megsy – you’re dead right! I’m gunna wield my power as a CPSU (ABC section) delegate like never before. And I’m gunna get Mr Bill O’Slattery to front the meeting and tell MY members why he won’t vote for KJ. After that, I’m gunna look him straight in the eye and say: I said we wanted four percent and I wasn’t joking O’Slattery.
Don’t worry Megsy, he’ll fold like an Ikea bedside table…….
Don’t you worry about that…….
CPSU DELEGATE KJ
January 10th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
As long as you get 4 percent up straight, not over 3 years!
January 10th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
Caught in a trap…can’t walk out…
It was on my third Big Burger followed by Pancacke with Ice Cream and Maple Syrup (as an entree) after arriving in my hometown that The Great Thought hit me.
As you know the hypothalamus only needs a trigger factor.
Seeing the look alikes on the Express was the Trigger for The Great Thought.
TGT: The Ginger Man is ELVIS !
Whodathought. Perfect cover.

Switch to secure frequency immediately.
We spoke.
January 10th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
I can feel our relationship under a bit of a strain KJ. So let’s have a Zen moment together. MMMMMMMMMM feel the quiet , feel the wind , ignore the pressures of the RN soviet , isn’t this good. MMMMMMMMMM
Puts everything in perspective doesn’t it. That gravatar is not of me its of my nemesis TIm Blair , a mate of another RN luvvie Dykiel Muffy.
