It just gets harder to be a supporter of these crazy anti whalers. They seem determined to to make as many people as possible sympathetic to Japanese harpooning. I have, in the past been a sort of passive supporter of their activities, not because of whales, but because it seemed that the whole exercise was designed around getting a root. Young people united in a cause, tossing, tossing, tossing together on the high seas. Would hardly be time enough to save whale one what with having to throw a leg over or under every 5 minutes. The scuppers must running wet from activst juices day and night. However, the whole enterprise now seems to have been skewed towards making themselves look like dickheads. Having your speedboat run over by a whaler, giving your boats dumbarse names. Claiming to have been shot by Japanesers… Thanks to Shazza, for throwing her ethical considerations to the winds to get me this photo of The Steve Irwin. Respects. Are those zombies trying to get through the wire? UPDATE: Richarbl got some great shots too which I am adding. Awesome.
I’m sure my letter of excommunication is in the post. But I am, I confess, a paid up supporter.
you’re a legend shazza!
First shot shazza, closer shots Richarbl
legends!
Thankyou Mez.
I thought I spied Richarbl lurking around down there.
A truly unlikely rendezvous on the dockside.
Surprised you guys didn’t stop for a Soy Dandy Cap and to thrash out Versailles.
I love their big chopper.
I bet you say that to all the blokes.
i like the tally board.
plonkers.
are they fencing themselves in or fencing us out? The razor wire is a little over the top. Do they think we have harpoons?
maybe the fat bloke at the gate is yelling:
“bugger the whales, what are you going to do to stop the bastards from harpooning me?”
Richarbl, is that you with the cap on standing at the fence?
No, I believe I am the zombie in the blue shirt searching through the bag, probably looking for wire cutters or a polarising filter.
99 Comments, who will crack the ton with a similarly pointless comment?
The fence is the policy of the Fremantle port authority, not the Steve Irwin.
over the top? never heard of Greenpeace NZ and the french then have we
France’s proudest naval victory.
I hope you’re not casting aspersions on my Le Specs.
Is that tally for boats they’ve rammed, or boats they’ve been rammed by?
goatse’s?
I just Wiki’d goatse’s as I had no idea what it was.
sorry
what can be seen, cannot be unseen…..
Don’t google tubgirl shazza.
Nor penisbird.
Thanks for the warning NVL_II but after giving birth 3 times nothing, I repeat nothing, looks scary. It’s all comical. Honestly you men with your stretched anuses.
That. Aint. Nothing.
shazza, that was one of the best replies i’ve read in ages. made me laugh out loud. thanks.
You’re most welcome my lovely monkeypants.
I like the pic of the flag but I am not sure what it means – a skull with a dolphin and a whale on it?
Does it mean “Warning there are pirates on board with cetaceans on their minds”?
It should have a whale skull and crossed flippers I reckon.
Should have two activists crossed in frenzied anti injustice sexual congress under the skull.
I bet I’ll see the crew at Little Creatures tonight… coming over here, stealing all our wimmin…
Yeah, they’ll be gettin some.
I am glad you appreciate the photos TLA but getting them wasn’t without its dangers let me tell you.
There were idiots and obstacles constantly placed in my path, lines that needed to be crossed, palms greased, my very existence was solely my responsibility at all times.
And that was just the bike ride from the city to Freo.
you’d think they would be sick of the smell of fish by now
If their still there around closing time, you could suggest they kick on at The Clink.
Yushin Maru and Kaiko Maru, but they still haven’t got the Kobayashi Maru? Granted, some have called it impossible to ram, but if anyone can do it..
Damn, I’m on fire with the nerd jokes today.
Those hippies wouldn’t have the nouse to reprogramme the simulation.
Hippies ARE most illogical.
How would they go against the Keyser Sose?
Pfft. The Keyser Sose is a ghost. An apparition. By the time you work out it’s lat/long, it’ll be gone.
“Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go on an overnight drunk, and in 10 days I’m going to set out to find the shark that ate my friend and destroy it. Anyone who wants to tag along is more than welcome
I’m going to find it and I’m going to destroy it. I don’t know how yet. Possibly with dynamite. ”
I finally worked out what this lot remind me of.
a load of spoilt boys with big toys and too much testosterone
Is that a green eyed monster speaking skink? Does someone need a hug?
not envious, me
I hate going on boats
nothing to see out there in the ocean, just water everywhere you look. It’s very dull
but I never refuse a hug
ok, while I’m feeling pernickity, what’s with the faux torn edge of their flag? There is a good seamstress in Fremantle (above Warrens Menswear) who could lockstitch that in 5 mins. If they are going to get about with that then they need puffy shirts and talking parrots and big boots and cool shit in their hair like Johnny Depp
… and an ergonomic keyboard.
puffy shirt?
but I don’t wanna be a pirate
aww, come on skink, where’s your sense of adventure, they are so damn hot !
You call Hsien Harper & Adele Carles “Hot” ??
You are deluded – as Skinkster said their either Fugly, Lesbians or both.
I don’t think that was me, Frank
I would never suggest that Freo Feministas are fugly, because they scare me
hey frank, i was referring “tongue in cheek” to the girls (at least i think that’s what they are) in the green photo link in my comment.
i actually have never seen either of the others.
It was me, Frank.
But don’t get me wrong – I’m a big fan of lesbians. I’ve seen most of their movies.
I’m not such a fan of lesbians since Kadir-Buxton outed their habit of lemonade douching. Seems a bit weird to me.
Nothing that can’t be fixed with a smack around the head, a stamp on the chest, and perhaps a fanny clap for good measure.
Curiously refreshing.
aaaw someone needs a hug
AND what a pissy helicopter! you couldn’t herd guinea pigs with that
I agree with you about the helicopter Mez and to make it more humorous the skull and crossbones is painted on the front also.
That will scare off those pesky whalers for sure.
” I am Sea Sheppard

Apologies to Helen Reddy as well
That’s for the vegan, earnest, oversexed sea monkeys to join the mile high club.

What’s irrational, though?
Right on Michael.
irrational is proudly announcing how many times you have rammed a Japanese vessel by painting little flags on your boat, and then whining like a kid who has dropped his ice-cream when the Japanese return the gesture.
yes ok, but apart from that?
that’s the spirit
This is why William Faulkner was such a heavy drinker.
What I meant was, while I’m seeing a lot of [i]hatred[/i], it doesn’t seem all that [i]irrational[/i] to me.
you want irrational? I hate them because they are comin to get our wimmin!
Maybe that’s paranoid but I am sure that will lead to a degree of irrationality in the long term.
The wimmin are gone man. They’re already riding sea shepherd willies.
ok I’m off to Clancys then
something about that stoush reminds me of teh fish dance:
True enough, skink, and this one.
“Nothing defines humans better than their willingness to do irrational things in the pursuit of phenomenally unlikely payoffs. This is the principle behind lotteries, dating, and religion.”
Scott Adams
So, they named their boat after a professional animal botherer? They lost me at that moment.
Have they have named the inflatable duckies after Bindiiiiiiii and that cash-in Sharon Osborne death eater Terriiiiiiii?
because that would so cooool
JD Salinger writes a story about social alienation. He dies. Today I am socially alienated. Co incidence? I think not.
Shazza’s about to go all Mark David Chapman on us. I swear I’m not one of the phoneys.
I liked John Lennon too. Maybe I’m not cut out for this worsting business after all. I shall start a blog. The Best of the West. Where we shall celebrate all the things you haters hate. Starting with support for mono rails. Everywhere!
And don’t forget vibrancy. You’d have to be pro vibrancy.
Yes you’re right phreestyle. No more Ooshta for me. No more Chong and Bree baiting either. Maybe Matt Buckels will come on board? He seemed like a pro nice things kind of chap.
Little Creatures full of Sea Shepherd seamen (and seawomen) all of whom are going to get roots tonight seems pretty vibrant to me.
Not a fucking chance. I joined Resistance with exactly the same objective in mind. Got fuck all. The ladies were all dog ugly or lezzos (or both), and I was going through my beret phase, so was basically unrootable anyway.
The earnest lefties that would be on the Sea Shepherd are so terrified of oppressing someone, they can’t bring themselves to steer the conversation away from the relative merits of veganism, and towards the merits of facials.
Veganism has merits?
Not compared to facials.
You shouldn’t generalise about Resistance.
Not every dog ugly lezzo joined up.
No, but it does have wimpy support groups.
No but the difference is that they give the impression of actually doing something. Boats rammed, harpoons flying etc. Resistance gives the inpression that the only action to take place will be a wank in the toilets.
THEY SAID THEY’D NEVER TELL ANYONE ABOUT THAT.
Green Left had it as their editorial.
I knew about that, but felt secure in the knowledge no one actually reads it.
I kid you not. This was taken at Mojo’s Bar 29/01/10
I think “the wimmin” amd the record are safe.

Ps: I couldn’t wait to get home and post this.
Jeezus, what?
What do you mean what?
You had the chance to ride a Sea Shepherd and turned it down?
Yes I did.
Would probably be a disappointring exercise a la the”"Ady Gill.”
You know, early conclusion, not performing to manufacturers specs.
What’s a Sea Sheep?
Get the kiwis interested, eh?
Oh, Aye, me Hearties, wasn’t it one of them what gave the interview on Auntie?
Apparently it went down better than the tart namedropping ships it’s rammed in the night, WAtching.
It seems that Whales are to Canada what sheep are to New Zealand- a national pastime.
I see what you mean about the “Ady Gill.” They should have called it “Whalilingus.”
we tried all that happy clappy positive thinking mullarkey before, but after the weather, the beaches, the wine, Spare Parts Puppets and Loiuse Momber’s tits, we ran out of best things
I did an image search on Louise Momber. Not one tit in the first two pages. I can’t ever remember that happening before.
Damn. That was supposed to be a reply to Skink.
I believe Frank was an admirer
I’m reliably informed the crew were drinking at the Mad Monk Brewery last night.
I am telling you shazza. I found them at Mojo’s…
http://i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab223/lipkrieg/HelloSailor.jpg
I believe you WAtching, but surely they could have a few drinks at Mad Monk before Mojo’s opened?
no sign of them at Clancys which is good because I got quite drunk and it may have ended in a ramming
They also have an operation Waltzing Matilda with an even worse logo, an eyepatched roo with a trident. The free graphic design syndrome strikes again I think.

And the (possibly slightly retarded) Dalai Lama also mentioned as a possible irrational hatred previously sticks his oar in too. http://www.seashepherd.org/support-us/featured-supporter.html

Should have revived earlier tweet for this one.
“Dying whales copulated in the shallows..”
Sea Shepherd has “Jumped the Shark.”
In the process they have become an open laughing stock of not only the conservation world but of the general public as well. What started with last summers expose on South Park has become a full blown online rebellion against staged reality television under the increasingly thin guise of protecting and saving wildlife.
By any metric including Sea Shepherds own Paul Watson they are losing the media battle for the hearts and minds of a non-radicalized public.
Watson recently posted a long winded and far fetched explanation for why the worlds online comment media is not buying into his spoon fed and faked Whale Wars spectaculars, such as the ill fated “Watson Was Shot” (Whale Wars Season One) and this years alleged ramming of the Ady Gil.
“losing the hearts and minds of a non-radicalized public”. Would that be the same public driving around with Australian flags attached to their cars almost a week out from Australia Day? The same ones that agree with police having greater stop and search powers? The same public that voted for the bumbling state Libs? Or the ones that think our police minister is doing a good job? Or maybe the public who hang on every word of Howard Sattler and his ilk. Or even those that think the jocks on 94.5 are entertaining?
I think you make some valid points Obey The Watsonian, but I could never be swayed by an argument based on what the general public (non radicalized) like or dislike.
There are times shazz when you are so insightful that it is almost painful.
Ready to sign up to the union of misanthropists?
We’d welcome you.
Really.
I’d almost be elgible for a Lifetime Achievement award from that union Rolly.
I’m thinking of asking ECU to start a course leading to a Graduate Diploma In Applied Misanthropy.
ECU? I think misanthropy is best undertaken by the elite. So UWA perhaps?
I would like to see the unit outline for that degree.
Exactly Shazza. ECU would have a degree in sycophancy surely? By the way, it looks like I might be a student again this semester.
TLA: Is there still a memorial to Iwan Iwanoff at Curtin?
Student of What?
Might be? Philosophy degree?
I might be doing another unit of Chinese. A third year one this time. Could be very difficult.
Chinese. Philosophy. Same diff.
No. I will actually have to concentrate for Chinese.
Damm public. If only they would realize.
yes hovean, the world would be a much better place without them.
I expected to get a lot of support coming in for the aquatic rootfesters aboard The Steve Irwin, but even paid up member Shazza seems only half hearted. Maybe they really have managed to alienate their supporters. Particularly supporters who aint gettin any.
The bumpkin B&S crew put up a more spirited (albeit retarded) defence than this.
I was expecting more from the whales… but it is mating season…
The whales are just the meat in the sandwich on this issue.
all this talk (and the fact that it is close to dinner time) does make me wonder what they actually taste like, I mean, is it really worth the effort? Better than salami?
why Japan? why do you want to eat them so much? I want whale sushi at the sushi train! If it tastes beter than foie gras, I want some!!
tastes just like PCB
http://shizuokagourmet.wordpress.com/2009/07/30/whalemeat-the-bare-truth/
That was hilarious, Onnie, and the Shizuoka Gourmet is clearly a nutter, as best exemplified by their assertions that “Plenty of dolphin meat is avalaible (sic). This particularly came from Gunma Prefecture. Dolphin meat is regularly served at Primary School lunches in Shizuoka Prefecture.”
Firstly, it’s hard to see how dolphin meat could come from the completely landlocked prefecture of Gunma, and secondly, as someone who has eaten Primary, (sic … we call them Elementary), School lunches in Shizuoka every weekday for years, I can state first-hand that dolphin meat is never, ever served.
FFS even I’m losing support for them, and my sister is on the fracking boat.

Oh, and for those on the hunt for such things, she’s in more dire need of a shag than any three people I know, so if you’re feeling brave…
There was some serious strut being done by the crew as they walked into Little Creatures on Thursday night, wearing their black crew shirts with “rammed” placed thoughtfully just above their buttocks.
maybe we can drive a boat over Julie Bishop’s office?
maybe we can drive a boot up Julie Bishop’s orifice
you might have to dislodge peter first.
Good write up the-paris-site. I hope some of the crew take this on board – metaphorically and literally.
Shouldn’t they be commenting with you or here that it’s not aout the rooting?
I’m certain it’s entirely about the rooting. Ramming things, sticking in harpoons, greasing up with stinky butter. Isn’t that what everyone does for foreplay?
still the image of the deputy opposition leader is invoked
there must be truly scary images inside your head orbea…
I told you it wasn’t just me.
once you fall into Mrs Nattrass’ eyes, one is lost forever
You got a pic of sis?
Here you go, Onnie.
Balls or not, I would definitely let her smear my harpoon with her stinky butter!
We could make a dvd : “Last Onnie In Paris”

Yes, she needs:
(i) A good fucking and
(ii) To get a proper job.
She’s far from the worst offender, and actually manages to hold down a proper job for the remaining months of the year to finance her southern ocean (mis)adventures. But you know, assume away.
No arguing with the other need though…
Well I, for one, thought he meant Julie Bishop.
Oh. Yes, that makes more sense. A stepford wife running Windows 3.11
A wide-eyed cadaver with a blonde wig and a fake tan.
And don’t forget the personality of a frying pan. We are talking about JB, not Paris’ sister right?
I live in her electorate. I get her newsletter. A team of spin doctors cannot even write her a personality.
That may be so but she is 100 percent hot!
Okay, minus ten percent for the goddam hair and maybe another ten percent for the fucking safari suits and perhaps another ten percent for being on the blue team but seventy percent hot is still hot!
Hot. Like Vindaloo. Gives you the shits.
maybe she’s into online dating richie – you never know your luck.
All the best to your sis the-paris-site. The world could do with a lot more people like her.

I’m not that dedicated.
Me either
The Sea Shepherds should beware. There are some pretty wild monsters on the open seas.
Those whales don’t need the Sea Shepherds and their loose ways anyhow.
Their krill crushing jaws and mournful songs are more than a match for the exotic food loving Japs with their guided harpoon systems, and specially designed ships that only store a thousand or so. All for scientific research of course, to better understand why the whales are disappearing.
Besides the whales are protected by sanctuaries that are fully backed by the supreme authority of Peter Garret himself.
Another Sea Shepard Boat has been Rammed :-)

I wonder how much the goodwill will be worth.
How does a vegan like Watson get so fat? Look I love whales, but I love people more and sea shepperds racist treatment of the Japanese people and their culture is disturbing and unacceptable. The Nazi’s used racism much in the same way Watson is to manipulate weak willed individuals. That didn’t end well for them and it wont for Watson and his racist followers.
Hitler was vegan, and the whales were at the Nuremberg rallies
They gassed the dugongs too.
and turned their skin into lampshades, and their fat into soap.
and made Tim Winton take his shoes off
You got kicked off the ship didn’t you?
Sieg Wheil !!
Wait, weren’t the Nazis on the same team as the Japanese? You’re mixing your hyperbole, like dolphins in a tuna net.
