I knew I had seen that face before!

One of the things I love about blogging is the perception of those in Blogland. You people must really be eating your Weeties because you are all as smart as whips!




In the comments of the previous post Jan pointed out that Evil Genius Pattern Monkey is in fact a doppelganger





for an international politician of some many years standing.





What? You don't recognise him?



He was an international staesman for over (nearly?) 14 years.



Hmmmm....... still no bells?


Errrr..... he got the post through staying power and determination (makes Gordon Brown look like a beginner).

Really? You still can't put a name to the face? Surely some of you voted for him at each of the 712 elections he stood in.


Well, okay. To lessen the dramatic tension for all those hyped-up, non-Australians reading I'll tell you.

He is Little Johnny Arthur, former nemesis of Bob Hawke and Paul Keating. Most recently unelected Australian Prime Minister. And twin to the Evil Genius Pattern Monkey.


Bwahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Also Jan is a brand new blogger so go spread the bloggy love.

  4. You could have put a warning at the top of that post Trashy. I won't be able to check your blog again without a tiny shiver down my spine just in case you add another picture of little Johnny. Oh, the horror!

    But the likeness is amazing ;-)

  14. what i'd like to know is: does said antipodean politico also have a white spot on his tummy??!?! parliamentarian historians long to know!!! perhaps you can find out on TGTH if CK is ok with that??! ...in a completely platonic and non-ill-making way, obviously...

    (ok, no, i don't know how that'd EVER be non-ill-making...sorry...nevermind...) :>]
