Little weirdos

Honestly, what the fuck is going on with the jockey? That strange little man with the weird helium voice and the coloured silk shirts. Seen a naked jockey? No hair ... none. Hairless like those Sphynx cats but much, much weirder. They are less built than my five-year-old daughter. When I hear a jockey interviewed, I freak out because I think it’s a fucked-up Muppet. They are Oompah Loompahs with money. They are the basis for the Randy Newman song, ‘Short People.’

‘They got little hands

Little eyes

They walk around

Tellin' great big lies

They got little noses

And tiny little teeth

They wear platform shoes

On their nasty little feet ‘... sing it!

See what I’m saying?

These people have to sit in booster seats at restaurants and they smack their pixie faces into the ground when they sneeze. I asked one at Dooley’s Irish bar once where his pot of gold was ... and never heard his soprano reply. Even the name of the jockey attire is weird. Toque (the hat), lunettes (no idea), casaque (the shirt), breeches aka pantaloons (or just pants in a normal world) ... but apparently a jockey is regarded as being the 2nd most deadly job, after offshore fishing. Since the beginnings of horse racing in Australia, 950 jockeys have lost their lives while taking part in the sport. They can also often have eating disorders, such as anorexia and suffer dehydration. Just that needs bitch slapping and for striking those poor beasts with a whip ... which is possibly called something indulgent like a ‘swank sticking’ or something ...

I know I’m not equine inclined, but seriously. What the fuck?

Urban peculiarities

  Shoe tossing What the hell is this about? I see it all the time, a pair of sneakers or boots (generally) over the power lines in suburbs...
