so - at 4am this morning, armed only with some newspaper cut-outs, wheat paste, chalk and a beanie - I headed up to town to bring a bit of cheer into the hearts of weary little cobargo voters......
and if you happen to find yourself in the small township of Cobargo today you may stumble across a 'special' little something-something....
OPERATION DONKEY!
yep, it's a few hundred up-cycled newspaper cut-out donkeys.... pasted all over the town paths - naturally I had them arranged to usher the crowds into the cobargo polling booth.... which of course sent the poor polling booth overseer into mild cardiac arrest at 6am (just kidding! it did however send him off to his rule book and he was ready to enforce a '6m rule'....)
a compromise was reached - my donkeys made it within the 6m ban - but not to the door (as I argued - 'hey man, it's only arrrrrrt - it's not like I'm spruiking for one of the parties!)
ahhhhhh - go to work my little donkeys.....
oh and a few donkeys managed to escape the paths and climbed the poles...
I hereby proclaim 'operation donkey' a resounding success - much fun and merriment was had by all (well, at least by ME!) and as I've been reminding folk far and wide for ages.... regardless of how things go down in the polls this evening, tomorrow we will wake up with an ass as the next PM......
show you know - VOTE DONKEY
