Consumption Malfunction - the original sin.

Norm Rejects Praise in Favour of Kraft Mayonnaise

October 29th 2008 23:27
Norm, the hot little sex-machine-operator behind so many sandwiches, has put his weight behind Kraft Mayonnaise and, at the same time, in a delicious piece of ironical simultaneity, slammed Praise.

"I often find myself saying one thing and doing another," he said, as he pictured doing another, a blunt spreader, who was busying herself spreading something shocking on a bed of something, shocking.

"Praise is just one thing that I see get spread around too often," Norm, his hand on a second-hand book, told his blissfully unaware spreader, and read the reviews on the disposal piece of literature.

"I couldn't put it down. I think the printers put too much glue in the binding."
Bryce Courtenay

"It's quite simply the greatest thing that has ever been made out of arranging characters in a certain order to make words that are arranged in a certain order that, it has been arranged, has been duplicated, numerous times, on someone's orders. "
Tim Winton

"Kraft is always getting better. It just is!" Norm, shouting at the top of his voice, ever so slightly taken by the rave reviews, went to the counter and asked: "the things worth Praise are shit, yes?"

"Do you want Praise?" the disposable literature seller asked Norm, beside himself with his latest purchase. "Give me Kraft or give me nothing," he mumbled as he walked and talked out the door.

Norm, a self-satisfied sandwich eater and lover of fine spreads everywhere and man of lettuce, tripped on the step, fell face-first into his book and the egg-based spread, praiseworthy, went all over his mouth.

Save that one for your first novel. That's priceless.

I'll save you the trouble.
Here's what the Age said about it:
Nobody cares about the news. It's all about pulling and pushing readers' feelings. Norm failed to grasp this concept. Still, he looks cute in a rubber jumpsuit. 9,000,000 Stars.

Too late. Looks like you've already read it. My condolences.

The woven streams of chopsticks able to pluck water from a stream of subconscious trickles rushing headlong into a global warming crisis of the likes the Franklin Dam has never seen and knit watery words into purls, used to be the domain of the wives of sheep farmers left at home during conscription wartime periods. Churchill once said we should fight the Japs on the beaches but there's nothing like a mother being her own invention of necessity and realising that until they invent pads absorbent enough to allow a farmer's wife to ride a bike, a bit of sheep's wool makes a good tampon subsititute and that riding this economy that used to ride on the back of sheep's back is no longer worthy of a tv commercial for women's hygeine products made in Japan.

Excuse me. I'm not here to comment. I'm just looking for my Cherry Ripe. Anyone seen my Cherry Ripe?

I've seen it. I have to say, I wasn't impressed. I think the dog may know more than me. In general.

While Norm may prefer Kraft Mayonnaise, we've all heard the rumours of how they make that evil-looking canned ham at Norm's factory. That's an unpleasant image.

It's halal. Which means it's not kosher. I think it's alright. Not sure what the problem is. I don't know where these rumours started, but when I find the culprit. I'll make mince-meat.

sex-machine operator?
rubber suit?
now hang on a darn second, i was of the impression that you were some kind of eunuch!
or was that a unicorn?
either way im not impressed . . . well maybe slightly impressed, but only enough to make that impression
i think unicorns have one too many corns, to be cornless would be something deserving of praise . . . an acorn perhaps?

Morgy, a sex-machine is just another name for a slot-machine, if I know the game of love. The rubber suit, in these dangerous times, keeps me off the streets. The world can be a testing place for a man with a sack. Something in your tone is making me think you know something about the Cherry Ripe, which is taking on the mystery and allure of the Maltese Falcon. I'm not pointing the finger at you necessarily. If it's corns you're worried about, go to Athlete's Foot. They've never met a foot they couldn't fit.

D, you can't beat mayonnaise. You could. But that would just be silly.

I can beat mayonnaise, and frequently do; it's a rare mental condition called Condimentia pugilistus
