Batman's Legacy

As if in despair, the local Counsel has enlisted the man who brought syphilous to Melbourne to eradicate the city’s pigeon population. We have to give the man credit however, he did play a sizeable role in settling the place And trialing it’s brothels.

John Batman - an obvious choice due to his involvement in the eradication of various other populations in Tasmania – has the good fortune of having a park named after him alongside the Yarra River.

Unlike the Dutch – who I’m reliably told exterminate their pests’ by way of an instant grilling in the dead of night when nobody is looking, only to resell their carcases onto red-eyed Feebo shoppers – the Melbourne city counsel has erected a concentration camp for the faecal matter of the streets in said park, designed to keep them from destroying Melbourne’s bluestone wonders.

Bluestone – the only weapon Melbourne holds in the relentless war against Sydney – dissolves before our very eyes when shat uponst by the common pigeon, which is reason enough to drop a derisory 60k on the undertaking.

Batman will keep a sightless watchful eye over the proceedings, and is certain to offer trinkets to the new residents, and converse to them in a certain dialect with words not unlike ieday othermay uckersfay – obviously because pigs pigeons and aborigines all speak the same language.

Visitors are encouraged to give up their lunches’ at the site, and Sydney is encouraged to go fuck itself!

I'll have you know you, by proxy, caused me to be violently ill this week when Dale insinuated that Engels and I had tagteamed the lass you nicknamed "Lovey Chunks".

Sir, I say, sir, the image created is quite disturbing.

most disturbing of all, methinks, is that you chose to partake in said tag teaming, after i had already pointed out the, what was the phrase, "soft tender lips" of men? and yet you still chose to go two up on the L to the C....

You can lie to yourself, Dale... Both you and Master Whitz were very chummy witht he Menzies girls. In fact, I recall Whitz sleeping in the same bed with the sister...he claims he passed out (purely in self-defence) before *anything* happened. The jury is still out on this matter.
