Jon Sadleir Is A Cunt.

[rionaleonhart]

A quick explanation: recently, my father met a chap named Jon Sadleir and made a bet with him that he could get the phrase 'Jon Sadleir is a cunt' into the first page of Google results for a search of his name within the week. Jon Sadleir may or may not be a cunt - I've never met the man - but my father did give me life, and so the least I can do in return is help him defame a total stranger.

My filial duties fulfilled, I'd like to show you some comics that my mum drew about ten years ago! They are about Santa's Little Helper, a frankly terrifying elf who 'assists' Father Christmas in his present-delivering. Not really the season for it, but I didn't want this entry to consist solely of the Jon Sadleir thing, and I am very fond of these comics.





The small text beside the musical ballerina, in case you can't read it:

When you hear my bells ringing
You'll think that I'm bringing
Presents to give you great glee
But you'll sure change your mind
Just as soon as you find
They all look exactly like ME!
You see the Santa's Little Helper puppet-on-a-stick next to the My Little Pony? My mum actually made that out of felt. My brother found it in his stocking that Christmas. Ever since then, the same puppet has been showing up in our stockings as a trick Christmas present.





Featured in this comic: a Riona just entering on her teenage years, her two little brothers, and our cats, Columbus and Ferdy. (Mum did not make the clockwork giant.)

I just googled Jon Sadleir and both the blog linked and your post are on the first page of results. :P (Yours is higher up than your dad's!) I think you have solved it. :P

[rionaleonhart]

Success! (Since posting this, I have received a phone call from my dad thanking me for being such a dutiful daughter.)

Your dad seems like the coolest person ever.

(Your mum making those comments is pretty high on the cool scale too!).

Both these things, I think, explain quite a lot about you.

(Waterloo Road gets invaded by a clockwork giant? No?)

(It would be no more ridiculous than sperm theft, certainly.)

Your family...
Thoughts on adoption?

As one of my brothers and I are away from home and my mum feels that the house is a bit empty, you may actually be in with a chance there.

I get a lot of pages linking to MPs and peers...

Also I love the Barbie with the Santa's Little Helper face. Brilliant :D

Why can't I have a family more like yours? Also, I am pleased to announce (as someone else already has) that you indeed have defamed this poor Jon Sadleir.

as a law student, I am tempted to terrify you with stories of liability for defamation ^^

[rionaleonhart]

If Mr Sadleir expresses his displeasure, I shall simply explain that obviously I was talking about a different Jon Sadleir.

Who... made a bet with a different my dad.

^^ hehe under English & Welsh law you're totally screwed

Well, under the circumstances, the bet was indeed for the phrase to appear in google search, and Jon Sadleir was obviously privy to the bet, as...he made it. He can only expect the phrase to appear, then.

I am very disappointed to discover the clockwork giant with 'Golly Molly Gee' soundbox was not built.

The comics are delightful, and google, as ever is powah!ful.

[rionaleonhart]

It would have been quite a Christmas present. There was going to be another comic about the fate of the Golly Molly Gee dolls, but sadly I don't think it was finished.

I was wondering why it cut off right there. I was wondering what they would sound like.

Tell your mother to draw more comics 8D
