Imagine stumbling home after a night out and you see fucking Barnaby Joyce on the road haha

I'd give him a purple powerade, call him a knob, then leave.

I’d give him a purple powerade

I'm not sure if that's slang or if you actually mean you'd go buy him a bottle of purple powerade.

[–] Faceman2K23@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Powerade helps when you've drunk too much, cause a big part of overdrinking is the dehydration. For barny it would be warm though, cause I think he's a wanker.

Purple is just the best flavour.

Blue has the most antioxygens

Makes you wish you were deso that night.

I love that this is already on Wikipedia.

Jokes aside, he’s a disgrace. Sadly, considering he has been re-elected in the past despite worse behaviour, I expect this will be celebrated in his electorate.

"I like him cause he's a drunken wreck, just like me!"

That beetroot is going to have dirt all over it now.

I bet he couldn't even lie straight lol

[–] Ixoid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Article doesn't mention if he was drunk. It's the Beetrooter, so I'm gonna assume he was.

Out therrrrre

There's a world outside of Tamworth

Way out there beyond this hick town, Barnaby

There's a slick town, Barnabyyyyyy!

Out therrrrre

Full of shine and full of sparkle

Close your eyes and see it glisten, Barnaby

Listen, Barnabyyyyyy!

Put on your Sunday clothes, there's lots of world out therrrrre

Get out the brillantine and dime cigars

We're gonna find adventure in the evening airrrrrr

Girls in white

In a perfumed night

Where the lights are bright as the stars!

Put on your Sunday clothes, we're gonna ride through town

In one of those new horsedrawn open cars

We'll see the shows

At Delmonico's

And we'll close the town in a whirrrrrl!

And we won't come home until we've kissed a girrrrrrrrl!

Did he collapse from seeing the rainbow roundabout?

[–] Peddlephile@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

He had apparently been taking prescription drugs and drinking alcohol. Beetroot was on a trip. If he's the best that his electorate has, yikes.
