How about “Charred Potato Peel” in honor of 🥔 ?

davidlamond.bsky.social•5 hours ago

Of course I was using (autocorrected) “honor” very loosely 🤭

Isn't that the colour in the crayon box they discontinued recently at Crayola? What will they use to fill in their colouring books?

Why can't we just call it:
*Karma
*Magnificent
*Fully deserved
*About time
*Fu*k Dutton

The peels is easier to say than the fizzes. And we’ll have peels and teals. 😂

If they are in fact Independent, have a policy statement they live up to and are prepared to work with other elected representatives, we call them Independents. If they are a front for either of fascist parties, then we call them Liars.

If they win, it should be referred to as “The Burn” 🔥

The orange fizzer perhaps? I suspect that won’t happen. It’s looking like the lovely Fascists might take the day.

When picking an orange, I hope they had the One Nation Party orange there as an example of what not to go for.

Neither should they choose the hue of the orange stain in the White House.

Alex Dyson here in Wannon has been using Orange

rachelwithers.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Yes, as is Helen Haines (Indi), Michelle Milthorpe (Farrer), Jeremy Miller (Lyne), Jessie Price (Bean), Jenny Rolfe (Riverina), and Susie Holt (Groom)!
