I have an enormous amount of respect for Crikey’s own First Dog on the Moon.
We work well together in the Crikey trenches, ribbing each other over our respected choice in football team (First Dog follows the Bulldogs, I follow Freo); we compare moonwalks; cut out the latest day bed models from Outdoor Living Australia magazine — generally enjoy a friendly and cordial professional relationship.
However…
I can’t understand his genuine dislike for the Australian cricket team and his desire to see the Indians triumph in the latest Test series.
One of the Indian openers just hit a six and First Dog was jumping around like something out of Best in Show.
What should we do about First Dog’s distasteful, and quite frankly un-Australian, behaviour?

you are a slack moll and if you come over to my desk i will punch your face in
I’m with you First Dog. The Australian cricket team are un-Australian. All over-competitive bogans who never grew up. Go Tendulkar!
fight! fight! fight! fight! fight!
Leigh, if you have a problem with a coworker, you don’t take it to the world. You get a big box of rubber bands out of the stationery cupboard and spend the day flicking them at the back of his head every time he’s not looking.
Firstdog, I’ve learned that I have to hide my intense dislike of the arrogant wankers that make up the australian criket team. Cheer on the inside to further workplace harmony. And please remember that the opinion of anyone who follows Freo is automatically worthless…
Mike,
Point taken. I thought that this passed the public interest test, but in truth, my employers don’t allow me to go near the stationary cupboard anymore. This was option two.
“And please remember that the opinion of anyone who follows Freo is automatically worthless…”
That hurts. But what about Rove McManus or Kim Beasley?…
This isn’t helping my argument…
That’s it Leigh!!!
Now you’ve broken the comments section for firefox
and I’ve actually had to log in using bloody IE.
As pennance,you can spend the rest of the summer
watching Rove and discussing defence spending in the 90’s with Beasley.
Sorry Paddy. I apologise for destroying your internet browser but I think that sort of punishment is a little over the top. Perhaps I could watch Beasley and discuss defence spending with Rove?
You call what First Dog does work? piffle – he draws comics for gods sake! (when not on holidays that is)
Sure they’re very funny, quite insightful and humorously drawn (can something be humorously drawn?) but they’re still bloody cartoons!
ps: FD – can I have a personalized one?… pretty please
Australia are currently 8/144 and First Dog just came over and rubbed it in…
rubbed it in what? boom – tish!
Good work dog!
Now you’ve got rid of the Oz cricket team. Perhaps you can start biting
some arse at crikey and get those bloody sarah Pailin tea towels rolling
off the presses!
It’s only two weeks to the the election and I’m running out of dishes.
(And don’t even dream of suggesting those lame Jasper and Abby numbers.)
I need real moose blood to cut through the grime.
Goodness what a rabble you all are. Leigh, you should be ashamed of yourself. And wasn’t it lovely to watch Australia collapse. I think brittle is the word you are looking for.
Spam box I haven’t forgotten what you wrote on my moon monster cartoon!
lol… yeah, I thought you might
