don't say you weren't warned...


The unseasonally warm weather this week produced a plague of unwanted vermin in Cunt Point. As part of a community service announcement, but mostly coz I'm a lazy fucker, I exhumed this piece which appeared in RADAR last year.

City-bound motorists using the Kings Cross Tunnel at 7:15 am today were treated to a very unusual sight. In the breakdown lane they would have noticed Sydney’s coolest Vespa parked on its stand. Right next to it was Sydney’s un-coolest Vespa rider, suit pants around his ankles, peering anxiously into his underwear.
Let me explain. I was scootering to work this morning, having just accelerated smoothly up the hill from Rushcutters Bay, when I felt something stirring in the vicinity of my upper left thigh.
Figuring it was just the wind playing tricks, I scootered on... until it happened again. I reduced speed to see what effect it had on matters. It had none; in fact the 'wind' was now beginning to move across to my upper right thigh.
As I entered the tunnel I suddenly realised there was an intruder in the ‘house’, panicked and started belting myself in the upper thigh region with my left hand in an attempt to kill whatever it was, whilst still guiding the scooter (at about 60kph) with my right hand.
Inevitably, I succeeded in simply giving myself a decent whack in the genitals, which winded me, made my eyes water and forced me to pull over to the side of the road.
Jumping off the Vespa, I yanked down my suit pants, hooked both thumbs into my Calvins, drew them gently away from my torso and peered fearfully inside (which is the overall sight any passing motorists would have been afforded). Out flew a moth with a 10-foot wingspan.
The moral of this story: Never hang your damp underwear on the line overnight during Bogong season...

I am SO writing to Sydney Newspapers asking for pictures from people in peak hour traffic who SAW YOU with your pants down, doing some sort of slapping dance like a german sausage eater :)

I resent being referred to as vermin, Fingers. Really. I would expect a little more from a cat enthusiast.

Is it sync'd yet? said...

Jesus, I think I laughed so hard I spotted myself.

I am pretty sure you are like that mom with a VW beetle... just trying to be young again. Poser.

So thats what you've named your Johnson!

Bet it wasn't a moth either. Bet you picked up flying crabs from one of the massage girls in HK!

Phew! I thought you were going to tell us it was nutsack lice making their way across your thighs.

I'm sure your little incident has been caught on security footage of some sort, I wonder if it will end up on YouTube?

Aren't you supposed to have flies in your pants ?


(Flies, zip, zipper - same thing)


Good to have you back, Fingers. Profitable trip I hope - unless you're a narcotics dealer.

Smacky: It was actually in Oct 05 according to the old RADAR archives. It was when there was a few of us attempting to keep the old Jack marx Live column alive after he did the runner.

Kitty: Silly girl. As if I'd have a problem with you crawling around in my Calvins.

Gnat: You'd have loved the live show then.

Kelly: What are 'depends', what fucking mom and what fucking VW. Apart from that I loved the comment.

OH: Better than a caterpillar I suppose.

Phish: Great gag, Groucho. Except the post was a flashback. Remember.

Josh: I'd rather have moth balls than a bee's dick, Bumble Brain.

LB: Yeah someone had to do that gag. Well done for taking one for the team.

BBH: This year the Calvins get a tumble in the dryer before I even put them on. That should fuck those moths up some.

Steph: No CCTV but when I got to work one of my clients plugged in and said 'Fingers, was that you in the KX tunnel looking at your dick.'

EK: No profit whatsover...and now I'm morally bankrupt too...

Vespa is Italian for wasp. Now that would have made an interesting trouser companion!
