I wasn’t a sex symbol, I was a sex zombie.

Was at the Fremantle WA Maritime Museum when they were redoing the Australia 2 exhibit the other day. Seeing the mannequins up close was a shocking experience. They all appear to have been made for a zombie sex show. The note on the Ken judge says “Wooden Arms.”
I can feel your keel man.
Wooden arms

All these dolls were originally made for the female sex toys market and were sold through the Barbarellas outlets in James Street. Sadly, being next door to Connections the dolls became very popular within the gay community, especially the one in the front with the gapping mouth…(hey it’s true blondes have more fun). I know a guy that bought 2 and had regular threesomes and when his mates came over they used to indulge in sensless orgies and glove swapping.
I think that is vaseline not cold sweat ….. and, just by the way, the teeth are removable,

My abiding memory of the America’s Cup is losing $10 (a princely sum for a 17-year-old back then) on the result.
Cookster, I’m back at The Post next week, so we will have greater interaction. I’m fixed up for herring – but can you put me in touch with your octopus pusher, sorry, supplier? Gunna need it for sitting through those council meetings…

Bondy was the Hero -then…
My year 7 sport teacher, Grant Dorrington (now chief road wowser) was the co-ordinator of the Victory parade. I recall him saying it was the greatest event that had ever happened to Perth, and if anything went wrong, he would top himself.
God, I was praying so hard that some disgruntled shareholder would take a pot-shot at Bondy.

Just watched that Kookaburra song… fuck me sideways! No wonder we didn’t win a race! I remember sitting in the bar at the Sail and Anchor looking up at their race ‘tally board’ and thinking what a way to rub salt into the gaping, embarrassing wound that was our Cup defence.

So Bondy really has got brain damage:
“Australia can win another America’s Cup again, but in some respects it’s very hard to do it as a committee because decisions have to be made all the time and it’s not easy to do that.”
No, it’s very hard to make decisions. “Should I pillage and dismember businesses for my own profit, destroying the companies and leaving management and staff without employ? Hmmm, yeah, bugger it, go on…
