perfidy

Just think of how Australia's future could have been improved if the Humungous could've been...relaxed. The Wastelands wouldn't have seemed so very wasteful, and the Great Northern Tribe might've been just a little greater.

Heartwarming, really.

Who knew brothels were legal Down Under? Not me.
Who's surprised? Not me.
Who's distressed by this new-found knowledge? Again, not me.

On an unrelated note, Australia is one of the destinations still on my list yet unvisited. Must work on that.

Patton,
The Ministry has been your source for Australia's oldest profession- and no, not farming- for 2 years now:

As a matter of fact, I believe Buckethead's post effectively doubles our coverage of this vital topic.

Patton,
And rrriiiiight, "unrelated."

Looking back at my post, I can't believe I didn't use the word whores. It is, after all, one of my favorite words. Especially if you pronounce it like Johnny Cash does, something like a long version of the word "tour" with a little extra 'o' and a little extra 'u.'

Whores. One of the great lacks in American society is the inability of most people to credibly refer to "whoring."

When I think of proper pro-noun-ciation of "whore", Johnny Cash isn't the first to spring to mind.

Nope, that would be Joe Pantoliano, "Ralph Cifaretto" from the Sopranos. "Hooooers" is the best phoneticization I can arrive at.

B,
I know that pronunciation. Perfect description.

I served with some guys from Shitheel, PA. Mechanics. Two words they said very distinctly: "you'uns", for 2 person plural, which is not quite as unappealing to me (as far as made up words go) as "y'all"; and your Johnny Cash-style "whooure".

"You-uns wanna go and get some whooures?"

Ha. Good times. For high adventure, hang out with mechanics.

G:

Following the link to the Brisbane story, I find some wit who said:

Here, a legal brothel is about as likely as the Red Sox winning a World Series. And one run by the state AG approaches the surreal. Now, if we’re talking illegal brothels, it’s a different story. I’d be surprised actually if there were members of the state leadership who were NOT involved in prostitution somewhere along the line.

How effing old is that post?

Clearly written by some douche who knows nothing about baseball.

Where does the Ministry find these people?

I think I need to change the template to include the year in the archives.
