Orrr, Doggy !

Christian Landers (father of the famous “Stuff White People Like” Blog and NYT Bestseller – but not a Walkley winner) said that he stopped reading the posts on his articles because “The praise lasts an hour but the criticism lasts a whole month”.

Damned fine advice, I’d say.

You can always come over to the Pig’s Arms for a break…… I’ll get granny to fix you up with a bowl of Pal…..

There’s a good boy !

Kevin Rudd’s pets are awesome. Abigail juxtapositions Jasper magnificently. Good to see your accurate reporting of editor at large Jonathon Green failing to support you as per usual.

Furthermore you make me laugh and the whimsical and magical ‘Emily and the creature’ T-shirts are Christmas presents for the family. You are genuinely funny just sometimes esoteric, but that makes it all the more enjoyable.

Cheer up just think of all those people wearing all those T-Shirts! I don’t know how many times people have stopped me to read the ‘4 Exitensilist givens’ and then said ‘I don’t get it’. Then I laugh and my laugh is worth more than money in the bank to me.
