Another Winston

October 9th, 2008 at 8:50 pm by David Farrar

We met Winston the peacock when working hard from the blogmobile in the Wairarapa today. They owners told us they got him around 15 years ago and named him Winston because he is:

  1. vain
  2. looks magnificent
  3. is noisy
  4. and shits on everything

Winston was truly a beautiful bird. Very friendly also.

    Maybe I should have said:

    Looks sweet and sugary, but it is just shit, after all!

    Yes, the Winny Peacock is entangled with the dreaded evil eye curse and the ever watchful glance of the she-demon, Helenlilith.

    The Green party that promised the world but just rolled over to allow Helen to make Nuclear concessions for India!!

    A vote for the Greens is a vote for Labour!!

    A vote for Winston First is a vote for Labour!!

    Great story in the Herald this morning about WP being heckled by an elderly female National supporter:

    When he says proposed limits on water pressure in shower heads were all right, adding the two-minute limit on showers in Antarctica was enough for him, she goes in for the kill, dripping with sarcasm: “What, at only six litres a minute to wash a lovely crop of hair like yours?”

    Another similarity between Winnie the Peacock and Winnie the Whiner: both are bludgers who live at other peoples’ expense.

    Winnie the Peacock looks magnificent but I wouldn’t have said that about Winnie the Whiner.

    Mmmmm…. sage & onion peacock.

    “What, at only six litres a minute to wash a lovely crop of hair like yours?”

    Maybe he takes it off & runs it through the washer once a week.

    Happy to oblige :-)

    It’s also an appropriate comparison in that the peacock’s tail feathers are reputed to allow it to resemble a snake, and thus scare off real snakes… whereas Winston (the mammalian version) tries very hard not to resemble a snake, but of late has failed abysmally.
