Oh Jesus Christ, here we go again.

1. The housing bubble has burst
2. The mining bubble has burst
3. Oil and gas has burst
4. Everyone will be homeless
5. The sad will be legless
6. The whole country has not just gone to the dogs but its taken over the kennels as well.

7. The recession is so bad, it is beyond depression and even the Olympians will have to sell their medals, children, dogs, family and limbs and the paraolympians will sell whatever limbs they have.

8. The housing bubble has burst again and made more of a mess.
9. The average wage in Australia will be reduced to $1 per hour
10. Everyone is going to cry and burn their bras.

Given the discomfort endured in the name of torpedo tits I refuse to believe these two actions are compatible.

One day Lumpommer will change the record. Go and whitter on one of the other threads. This one has gone to bed.
