Oh Caption My Caption

Four days to go. That means that if God had to create a universe due on election day, he'd only get up to the fish and then have to timidly ask for an extension, starring down at his omnipotent shoes. It also means that I'm starting to run out of things to write about. After yesterday's six hour photoshopping marathon I'm still a little blog-fatigued, so this shall be a wee little post.

4 DAYS TO GO: SCRAPING THE BOTTOM OF THE (PORK?) BARREL.

From the universally acclaimed "Citizens Assembly" to the hallowed, vomit stained halls of Rooty Hill RSL, this has truly been an election for the people. The parties are 100% committed to giving us a fair dinkum go, a chance to have our say and as little choice as possible. They have gloriously pursued mediocrity and reached it with resounding triumph. Finally we have ways of engaging with our leaders – to help them understand the profound and complex issues that matters to us –  in 140 character or less. As long as Tony Abbott can keep his dial up working that is.

That's why it seems wrong of me to keep this blog so tyrannically. So far, I have ruled my Election Advent Calendar like the omniscient, totalitarian god of Teletubbyland, controlling my multicoloured slaves with little speaker things and magic windmills. That time has come to an end. Light up your stomach-screens my brothers and sisters, because now it's time for BOTH people who read this to have their say. 

Here follows some non-sequitor pictures, resplendent with my captions. My nakedly-validation-seeking-idea is that you submit your own captions, here or on facebook, about any or all of the pics, and I'll put them on the blog. Got it? Good, cause I don't, but I assure you that this sounded like a really good idea when I started the paragraph before last.

The Winner will receive:
-A FULL SET of home made 2010 Election Commemerative Biscuits, lovingly crafted by yours truly. Minus Wayne Swan, who I ate.
-A SIGNED photograph of Pauline Hanson. (Note: Veracity of signature not guaranteed.)
-A LAURIE OAKES AMULET, designed to ward away low to medium level undead politicians.
