when i had heard about this political nonsense going on between Rudd and Gillard i just had to come here and ask you my own question since you seem to know all about this.
Q1. how did you predict this... and please DON'T say all you have to do is believe, we all know that's a load of bull
Q2. do you think Mr. Rudd started crying after all this (i think he did you should probably make a flash about it)
Q3. lol Aussie politics are the best politics aren't they :D
1. Rudd never had the strong support of his party, plus Gillard seemed more competent, so it seemed likely that she would eventually replace him, but no one saw it happening so quickly.
2. I think it's likely given that he cried a little on camera, poor guy. I wouldn't make a film about that, it would just be rubbing it in!
3. It's been an interesting few years, but I know a lot of other countries can boast more turbulent and volatile political scenes, the big surprise is that this happened in Australia which is perceived as being a super stable country.
That's better. Also i'd like to point out that while one could potentially be a psychic-prophet that would depend entirely on your method for divination. Typical forecasting of events based on a theoretical model would by no means be psychic nor would convening with god count whether that convening be directly or indirectly (placing meaning into chance; fortune cookies, tea leaves). To be a psychic-prophet would require being able to either read the mind of a time traveler or be told by dead, if the dead be able to skip about time.
That's of course given that time is a dynamic dimension as suggested by the Theory of Relativity. If it is another possibility is that you could have a 6th sense that directly picked up events taking place outside of the time you're in.
Large Hadron Collider should settle that.
Also wtf? No Kevin '11?
i know, right?
that the power of raptorjesus
amen
amen.
or somebody will discover the Walrus Pitt.
that would be a sad day indeed.
I actually went out of my way ( had to move the cursor all the way over to the google search) to learn about Australian politics. I owe this learning experience to you, for I had no (quack)ing clue where the punchlines of these episodes were directed. I laughed harder the second time around. I want to know; is life in Australia better than here in the States? Eventually I'd like to see it for myself and possibly move there. Plus one of my best friend's requested to me that after his death, he wants his corpse thrown to a Great White. What kind of best friend would I be if I didn't at the very least have some sort of game plan? -probably not your BIGGEST fan, Alex.
p.s. Nice Donnie Darko reference to magicJack BTW
i can't answer that because i've never lived in the states!
what reference are you referring to?
I guess I should have asked; do you enjoy life in Australia? Is it throbbing? (= Referring to the reply on the first comment, which I thought you were making a reference to Donnie Darko, maybe not. But Mrs. Sparrow (lady death) Leans into Donnie's ear and whispers ; "Every living thing dies alone.". Terrific movie if you haven't seen it yet.
p.s. Are there schools upon schools of Great Whites surrounding Australia?
Donnie Darko is a great film, but no I wasn't referencing it consciously.
Yes, the quality of life in Australia is excellent. From what I've gathered our schools and health system are of good quality, and currently our unemployment rate is low for a rich country.
However, we do not seem to have a large enough population, or a population interested enough in animation, to support a thriving 2D animation industry. I've often considered moving to the states for that reason alone.
Great whites only seldom eat someone, and no i don't think there are abundant schools of them.
That's both reassuring and disappointing all at once! Hooray for a stable economy, and boo for lack of cartoon viewers. I guess the animation trade is flourishing here in America. Can't fathom why it isn't the same down on your end. I swear by my cartoons! If it's any consolation; I tell everyone who gives a hoot about Angry Dog, and your other submissions. I even spread them over facebook to the unsuspecting, bwaa ha ha ha! Are you planning on making a second season for Angry Dog?
Also, wouldn't your whole team/band need to move over here with you? I know it's possible to correspond via internet, and make it happen. I just wonder if that would ruin the chemistry. On that note, what instrument do you play? I do apologize for my bombardment of questions. You're the only animator I've been successful in contacting. I would love to talk to Berkeley Breathed... elusive little bugger. I even found him on FB. Sigh. Thanks for responding promptly as you do.
(I'll tell my friend he has better luck being consumed by a grizzly than a great white.)
no problem, i'll answer them all: i don't actually collaborate with anyone these days musically, its just me. thanks for spreading the word, that's very kind! australians seem to view animation as something very much for kids, its just one of those weird cultural things. i hope it changes. there are no plans for any more angry dog. i play guitar and bass in the songs. i'm not sure you could get clearance to transport a corpse here anyway if it wasn't a resident, he's much better off going with a grizzly!
Then you will be the 26th prophet, After mohamed of course
im pretty sure theres been loads since mohamed, its just that islam was the religion of a succesful empire so it flourished. an invading army is unlikely to adopt my teachings. come to think of it, i don't have any teachings....yet...
Agreed mate i saw Rudds downfall coming too.
Still cant wait for your next cartoon :D
Make it a gudnn
I think Tony Abbot fighting a hippie to the death would be more probable than him pole dancing, that is if he's a closet homo.
Ah well, I a "Prophet" too! You've just stuck with what's more probable and made it into a joke! XD
:3 It's what I would do.
POST PLESURRE ISLAND THREE ON NEWGROUNDS ALREADY >:( I KNOW UR DONE WITH IT I SAW IT ON YOUTUBE DO IT FOR THE FANS

I'd like to correct you. You're not a psychic, "psychic" is a general term for someone with supernatural cognitive ability of some kind (mind reading, telekinesis, sensing the dead, etc).
What you are is a prophet.
Sexual-Lobster
but i can do all those things too!
anyway, that seems fair, i'll change the title.
