Club Politique by Che Tibby

Banter

Something I've noticed about Club Politique is that it tends to descend into a lot of long diatribes from myself to you, the reader. Now, I don't think this is a very healthy idea, so here's something a little different.

Che: In the interests of assuring you that the art of conversation isn't dead, I've brought along a friend.

Girlie: What are we going to talk about?

Che: Ah.... Dunno. How about I just get to typing and we can see if we can get into a fluid, rambling kind of thing?

Girlie: Oh, cutting edge blogging you mean?

Che: Yup.

Girlie: It's all a bit Dog Biting Men though isn't it?

Che: Yeah, but they stopped making funny stuff awhile back, so someone had to take over.

Girlie: True... So, what's that thing?

Che: The monitor? The TV thing?

Girlie: Yup.

Che: This isn't just a typewriter, we use that to look at the words while I... waitaminute... you're taking the piss aren't you?

Girlie: Yup.

Che: Thank Christ. I was worried you might be an idiot.

Girlie: Ay!

Che: Ay! No hitting! Ow... that smarts a little.

Girlie: Serves you right.

Che: Yeah, spose it does. So, how long have you wanted to be on a famous blogger's column?

Girlie: Did you just call yourself famous? You're kidding right?

Che: Hell yeah I'm famous! Just the other day David Farrar was fantasizing I was a woman.

Girlie: I hear he does that kind of thing a fair bit. But, in his defence, you do pout a lot.

Che: Take that back!

Girlie: There you go... pouty pouty...

Che: What?! Look, we can't just argue online. People will wonder what in the heck this is all about.

Girlie: It's all about the kind of rambling conversations we have.

Che: Pout...? Me...?

Girlie: Sorry. You'd don't pout. Can we get back to talking?

Che: I am famous you know.

Girlie: Of course you are. There, there.

Che: You're patting me on the shoulder and taking the piss again, aren't you?

Girlie: You know, you'd think famous people would catch on faster.

Che: I managed to slip that double entendre about columns past you.

Girlie: Ay? What?! Oh.... That's quite rude you know.

Che: Hee hee.

Girlie: I might be able to see David's point. Maybe he really does think you're a girl?

Che: That's sexist. Not all girls pout and giggle.

Girlie: You apparently do.

Che: You do realise you're drawing a fairly long bow here?

Girlie: Just keep telling yourself that.

Che: Wha...? Now who's being rude?

Girlie: I'm blushing.

Che: God, you are too... I'll change the subject. You know only the famous bloggers get to make the corny gags, ay?

Girlie: Them and bad comics.

Che: Is there a difference here?

Girlie: Apparently not.
