Win a Qantas Trinket celebrating the QF/EK partnership

[JohnM]

Lindsay, maaate*, I’d tell the winner of the trinket to check the alignment of the drill hole BEFORE the piercer installs it. I wouldn’t put it past those comedians Steve Purvinas and the boys to have done a RR on it and claim dodgy overseas maintenance caused the problem when the trinket doesn’t hang right!

 

[JohnM]

Alan, maaate*, we’ve finally figured out how to get that pest JohnM off our backs - we’ve closed the caption comp! Like, maaate*, how smart is THAT?!
- And the cruel, mocking laughter of Modmaaate and CEO pierced the still desert air. However, by a perverse conjunction of fate, synchronous vocal harmonics, atmospheric physics with a waft of Dubai smog, matter-antimatter annihilation, a neutrino event and the recent discovery of the Higgs boson, their cruel laughter combined perfectly to emulate the plaintive receptive call of a female camel in full oestrus. The sudden excited awakening of the 100 rampant male camels who had until then been slumbering contentedly as the genuine Arabian props on the outskirts of their little desert soiree brought the event to an unexpectedly sudden and somewhat brutal end... (Apologies to Gary Larson for the other fans out there!).

Not in Qantas Australia land.

Going hell for broke, JohnM?

Going hell for broke, JohnM?

Nah - just having some fun. I've already withdrawn myself from consideration for the prize - fully loaded in the only suitable place to pierce for that trinket .

That's me joining the mile high club using the seat belt buckle and the seat vibrate function......

Folks, I believe the comp closed at 2000h EST today!

"See Alan, Grindr does work in Dubai!"

Only a very specific demographic would get the humour in that. If you don't, do not google it at work!

Yes! Oh well, it made me laugh, although drewbles was the author so he desserves the credit!

Yes but how would LW know about that?

 

[JessicaTam]

Yes but how would LW know about that?

From all those DINKs he give financial advice to?

 

[drewbles]

Perhaps the caption could have been..
"So, LW, have you heard of Grindr?"

I would find that argument completely plausible if AJ was holding the phone.

The other mods must chuckling quite a bit at some of the captions.
