<< THAT'S RICH! ~ MAIN ~ CONSPIRACY CORNER >>
Do not adjust your mindsets…..
Tim Dunlop here, checking in. My blog, The Road to Surfdom, is currently migrating to a new server. Unfortunately this process has taken longer than I thought—migration can be like that—so Tim has been kind enough to offer me asylum on these shores (rumours that I was stopped at the border and was seen throwing posts overboard are greatly exaggerated).
Some people in comments below expressed concern that it might get a bit confusing around here having two Tims posting, but I suspect the content of the posts will provide sufficient differentiation. To say the friggin’ least. Following the unofficial convention we use at other sites, lets call me Tim and Tim tim.
Still, no doubt many will miss this post and find themselves in their own personal Crying Game, having logged onto tim’s site and wound up reading Tim’s posts. To such people, apologies in advance….
Anyway, just wanted to say g’day, thank Tim once again, and I’ll be back soon with a proper post; I’m thinking something along the lines of why George W. Bush is such a dick or how John Howard is destroying Western civilisation…
I look forward to your postings – haven’t forgotton your gracious offer to tim when his site was hacked
A suggestion: criticising George Bush or John Howard should be safe enough, but you might want to avoid mentioning plastic turkeys, or saying any one said anything about being deputy sheriff….
“...lets call me Tim and Tim tim”.
Pleased to meet you, Tim and Tim tim.
“...why George W. Bush is such a dick…”
Not just a stinky poopoo head?

Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 04 16 at 06:23 PM • permalinkOh, this WILL be both fun and interesting - my two favourite blog sites have merged.
I am going to sit back and watch the fun, here, when ‘reality based community’based on how the world should work - but doesn’t (belongum Tim) meets ‘reality based community’ (belongum Tim) based on how the world actually does work - in day to day reality.
Tim (D) and Tim (B), some of your flakier denizens ain’t gonna like this.
Hmm. Timdo and Timbo, perhaps?

CanberraThanks, everyone. The Crying Game line, for those not aware, belongs to George Costanza. Still, it isn’t really a joke until someone plagiarises it.
Posted by Tim Dunlop on 2005 04 16 at 06:28 PM • permalinkImus, back on 9/12 or so, said Bush was the right man for the job because Bush was enough of a prick to pull the trigger.
Which I guess he did, though in a nicer way than was expected ; rather than killing them all, he’s introducing democracy. We will no longer co-inhabit the globe with 11th century governments. So he’s sort of a dick, stupidly imposing this idea of his.
Imus has since then turned into a panty-wearing liberal.
Bush is fairly eloquent about it; and sometimes not [url=http://rhhardin.home.mindspring.com/imuscut.bushpope.ram]http://rhhardin.home.mindspring.com/imuscut.bushpope.ram [/url] a divergence that needs explanation.
I blame vapor lock
Jeebus!
First Rich Hall now Tim Dunlop. When’s the alternative universe Spock with the Van Dyke going to show up?
Posted by joe bagadonuts on 2005 04 16 at 06:46 PM • permalinkWell, um, I guess this is OK. But, um. Are your readers going to live around here for a while? They better behave.
Hey you, off my yard! And you, don’t park your junker in front of my house. Darn liberals.
Posted by wronwright on 2005 04 16 at 06:55 PM • permalinkJoebagadonuts — Use your power! Be the captain of Tim’s Blog…
So how is John Howard going to destroy Western Civilization from way out there on the edge of it like that, rather than right in the middle like where us Amurcans is?
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 04 16 at 07:30 PM • permalinksuinsPen — Perhaps we should invite New Bruce here to lead the invocation: “This is the wattle, the emblem of our land…”
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 04 16 at 08:22 PM • permalinkAndrea — Perhaps we could have a special color for Tim(d)‘s posts, might be hard to tell them apart otherwise. Maybe white?
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 04 16 at 08:34 PM • permalinkwronwright — Why haven’t you given your yard back to the oppressed native peoples? Bad enough you stole the part of their country with all the paved roads and running water, but now you’re going to deny their right of return to your lawn?
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 04 16 at 09:52 PM • permalinkslatts — You might have to take that up with Mommy and Daddy Dunlop. I’spect we’ll be able to tell the difference between Darryl and his other brother Darryl (Hey, does that make Andrea Larry?)
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 04 16 at 09:57 PM • permalinkJoe bagadonuts — I wonder which Tim is painted black on which side…?
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 04 16 at 10:00 PM • permalinkWith apoligies to FST.
“I live in Timtown on a street named Tim
Near the corner of Tim Street and TimI work in the Tim Building with a boss named Tim
Gonna have three kids, name’em Tim, Tim, Tim
See, some of us Americans know something about Australia and comedy. Unlike the decidedly unfunny Rich Hall.
Six degrees of separation moment. The cover art for FST’s “Fighting Clowns” album was created by the decidedly funny Phil Hartmann, who also appeared on SNL as did the aforementioned unfunny Rich Hall.
Related asides, I did once meet Rich Hall. Wait, no, I was simply flushing a turd down the toilet. Easy to confuse the two.

Posted by Andrea Harris, Administrator on 2005 04 17 at 12:32 AM • permalinkI suppose if Darlene Taylor can go to Margo Kinston’s Web Dairy, it’s OK for Tim Dunlop to stay at Tim’s place. Welcome Tim tim.
This is bad, REALLY BAD, I might accidentally read one of Tim and Tim tim’s posts - akkk…a different point of view! Must…be….careful…
their own personal Crying Game
What, because we’ve found a big prick where we expected a big pussy…cat?
:)Seriously though Tim and Tim tim, as others have alluded, apart from being a whacko, petticoat over the head raving moonbat, you seem like a fairly normal sort of guy (unless there is more relevance to the “Crying Game” reference?)
So its good to see this bit of cooperation as a reminder that Left and Right - despite appearances - can be ideological enemies without being mortal enemies.Maybe white?
lol…Careful Richard, crushing of dissent and all that. :)
Tim Dunlop needs to ask himself: “Why does the server hate me?”. I think we must acknowledge that blame for the server problems lies with both Dunlop and the server, but Dunlop must bear the bulk of the responsibility. I certainly hope Dunlop isn’t unwise enough to take unilateral action against the service provider, as that would only provoke greater disasters in future.

Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 04 17 at 12:50 AM • permalinkYou should call yourselves T1 and T2, just like B1 and B2 from Bananas in Pyjamas ... should we then call you Tims in Skins ... no ... Tims in Sins ... I got it ... Tims in Spins! Hmmm ... just forget it.
Dammit, TimB, if you wanted to cross-blog, why couldn’t you hook up here?

Having a few probs with the ‘new technology’ eh t/d? That’ll teach you to hire Hamish Alcorn to build your website.
Posted by Lucky Nutsacks on 2005 04 17 at 03:19 AM • permalinkWelcome, Tim. It’s always good to see real discussion, and not just a bunch of foil hat wearing moonbats flinging feces around the joint. Not that us RWDB aren’t capable of flinging feces ourselves, but it’s always interesting to see how often Godwin’s Law is demonstrated in those threads by the “opposing view”. Although not as often now, since Andrea tightened up on the registration for this blog, and kept the worst of the moonbats out of here.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2005 04 17 at 03:46 AM • permalinkMark Bahnisch‘s server has been down all afternoon.
Could Tim be the merely the first of a wave of lefty blog-refugees seeking asylum? Do we need to establish quotas, or a border protection policy?
Posted by Evil Pundit on 2005 04 17 at 05:35 AM • permalinkNo, Evil Pundit, we need immigration quotas!
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2005 04 17 at 06:05 AM • permalinkMr. Dunlop:
Let me throw down a question for your consideration ... a question that I have yet to see a good answer for, from those of your ideological stripe:
“If established corporations are so powerful, how do people like Sam Walton (Wal-Mart’s founder) and Michael Dell (Dell Computer’s founder) come from nowhere and, time after time, steal their customers so effectively?”

I want to make very clear/dance around the issue that frankly you dickhead RWDBs/ you smug and dumb lefties have hit the nail on the head/lost the plot when it comes to how the world is now working out/screwing up so badly.
From where I stand/sit, it’s bloody obvious/not an easy choice. It’s polarising/coming together into those that that hate freedom/having the freedom to hate. There is only one way/several ways forward here/or there.
Should we grasp the bull by the horns/get on the horn to grasp the bull? I think not/it’s about time. So I say to other Australians/to all hopeful peoples of the world. Now is the time to come together/accept we’re all different and glory in/take up the challenge of this indisputable fact/ difference of opinion. It sounds easy/hard but we have done this before/are ready to rise to a new challenge.
Tim/Tim are putting the future behind them - a clear statement/subtle gesture/challenge/pointless third way for all of us/those who aren’t us/you over there pinching my ciggies.
All that’s left to say/there’s nothing more to be said/can be summed up in a few words/cannot be captured in words. And it is this/or something else. When is said is said and done/as so much remains to be said, we can all agree on one thing/except those who can’t.
The Pies have got Buckleys this year.
I’ll leave you with a universal/unique moving message/bizarre shit.

Tim D - you might not have been actually seen throwing posts over-board - but you did contribute to the quotes ending up in the drink! Therefore you are responsible for putting your posts at risk. I fully support any policy that discourages post smuggling.
Andrea decides what posts come to this site and the manner in which they come!

G’day tim,
For a leftist nut job you seem to be all-right ;)
