Parliament House roll: Hundreds tumble down lawns before public is turfed out


Hundreds roll down lawns of Parliament House before security fence is built


Australia's Parliament House was built under a hill with a lawn on top so people could metaphorically and literally stand over the government. Over the years it's become a tradition for visiting kids to roll down the hill. They've just closed the lawns to the public because terrists, creating an additional bit of unintentional symbolism and spurring a protest on the last day the lawns were open. Said protest took the form of hundreds of people rolling down the hill.

Because neoliberal policies and politicians have made people desperate, and when people are desperate they will try anything to change the status quo.

It would preclude Mandela from being a dildo collector but with the Oxford comma could still be read as "Highlights of his global tour include encounters with Nelson Mandela (who is an 800-year-old-demigod) and a dildo collector"

quote:

Red Deer man punches cougar at Tim Hortons to save dog

[...]

"I could see the cougar going for him, so I got between him and the cougar and started swinging and screaming at it, and called for my brother and friend to come give a hand," Gibb said. "And then I reached down for the closest, biggest stick that I could find and I ran back into the trees to go fight the cougar."

Within minutes, both dogs were back in the safety of Gibb's truck, and the cat disappeared into the bush.

"I was surprised to hear that the owner took the quick action and it's probably what saved the dog's life in this case," said [RCMP] Sgt. Jack Poitras, who said the cougar was located in the woods nearby and killed. "I wouldn't recommend everybody wrassle with a cougar, but in this case it worked for the best."

As Sasha ran across the parking lot, the cougar fixed its eyes on Mongo, who was sniffing around at the edge of the nearby trees.

I love that the other dog was blithely unaware of the epic battle. And of course a dog like that would be named Mongo.

"I wouldn't recommend everybody wrassle with a cougar, but in this case it worked for the best." has to be the best sentence ever spoken by a cop.

the sunday sport is best considered "news-inspired", or "current-events-themed". they buy up photos from abroad and make up stories about the people in them jamming creme eggs up their rear end or something. subjects of the photos get a bit of cash, the people who buy the sunday sport get to imagine them performing sex acts on food, everybody wins
