Tagline Thread

Since the thread was started by me, and not an admin, the answer to ‘when will they be updated’ is unfortunately, if they decide to.

We are merely providing an easy reference source should they desire/get motivated – as well as having an inwards look at ourselves and what we found funny over a period in time.

“They’ll find another Labor whore to keep the seat warm – It’ll be some back room hack with the personality of a door-bitch and the charisma of tinea. I speak the truth.

What a classic thread that was!

No such luck – I couldn’t afford them! It was a long time ago, anyway (wrote the thing off about 8 years ago), before people put little flower stickers on their car. Why DO people put those things on their cars anyway?

And when are the taglines getting updated?

VYBerlina, did it have some frangipani stickers on the rear window, too?

Canberra: Holiday Destination of Choice for Murderers.

Driving a 1.3 litre girls car made me feel like a big man.

lol @ Ari

I did used to drive a Starlet though, it’s a disclaimer. It made me feel suicidal.

FWIW, I used to drive a little 1.3 litre – Comment by VYBerlinaV8_the_one_they_all_copy — February, 2008

If two people’s conversation on the bus can ruin your day, you have issues.

I work for a US company mainly with Americans – Comment by shauno — February, 2008

actually, sorry to double-post, but I’d go for this one from Danman

“dmd you like to think yourself as big on the internet hay but I bet you’re making up for your little stature. maybe you have George Castanza syndrome.”

Since height is really so important in a political debate. And Danman can detect height through the internets. He is a l33t magician.

Maybe if I’d been insulted by such a random comment, Danman.

@Ralph No you’ll get your erection at the bus stop. Embarrassing times we live in. Might explain why buses aren’t stopping at certain bus stops though.

Seconded.

Comment by clare.carnell — February, 2008

It’s true. The RiotACT is exploding with homo’s. All this lame arse Steve Pratt style crap. The world needs more Steve Pratt’s and ACA/TT tripe. That’s where the RiotACT can come in.

Aspirations:

“I want to be a Crusty Demon Chick”
and
“I want to be a Playboy Bunny”

What the folk has Overheard been smoking

It wasn’t the fact that he was swerving that made it look suspicious, its the fact that a grown man was driving a Toyota Starlet.

You only get stray ALDI trolleys out the front of mansions where they can afford to lose the 2 bucks.

somebody said “mincing” the other day, that was a cracker

It’s going to be a real bugger trying to renew your licence at the ACT Shopfront with hordes of hairy blokes in leather cowboy chaps chucking rice around.

Shameless self promotion here:

“Ranting hysteria and public indignation are the core values of the RiotAct”

Speaking of nasty vigilate turns… funniest thing on the net in years, lots of very funny vigilates and yes they DO put his picture up, often!

http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98489

I really don’t like the nasty vigilante turn Riot Act has taken recently. Putting this guys photo up – what is this shit? “Pedo scum”? Whta do you know about this case? I hope he’s found innocent and sues your arse off.

Crazy Chester – its a great name!

Wondering whether the name came from the classic song “The Weight” by “The Band”?

Crazy Chester is all right. At least she isn’t whinging about not having a dragway.

“Who gives a Shitarium?” by VYBerlinaV8 (I think it was) gets my vote

Oh btw. Learn to spell you fat arsed NYMBY’s.

You know there is something wrong when Kate Carnell has a Wikipedia page. But yeah, sorry. If Kate Carnell was in government, my donut would have sprinkles…

Anything crazy chester writes is always a hilarious tagline. crazy chester’s paranoia makes me get hiccups from laughing.

Damn, Thumper was too quick for me.

I nominate this one:
Danman to GnT: Ner pfft :P~~
An excellent example of the high standard of Riot-Act commentary.

Hehehe

I hate writing comments. I can never include everything I’ve angrily yelled at the computer screen after reading Riot-Act.

I went to Mooseheads once in about 1995: it appeared to be full of retards, murderers, paedophiles, meataxes, tossers and skanks: the kind of people I normally like to hang out with!

I know this one has been mentioned before, but I haven’t seen it gracing the rotation of taglines:

Please collect your “Alarmist Retard” bumper sticker at the door, you retarded, alarmist alarmist retard.

If your gonna make vicious allegations like that bludger, at least name the player so we can spread it around a bit.

Once again, RiotAct scoops ABC & CT!

Not a post, but something taken from a CT article about The Riot Act:
