Debrief Encounter?
We never had sex, Rex Hunt's lover says
"He would arrange to meet me - usually in a laneway - always somewhere public ... I believe he got off on the fact that we might get caught," she said. "I was to look him straight in the eye and breathe on him. I would tell him he was wonderful, then he would work himself into a State of Rexcitement [sorry, that was me], shouting 'Oh my God, you are going to kill me; you're going to give me a heart attack'. Then he'd either, in the car or out of it, depending on how cold it was, fling off all his clothes."
Should Big Wrecksy ever split from his wife, I've got dibs on the headline - Ex Hunt.
While MX is a tip of a paper they do let their subbies have fun. Front page the other night.
REX EX DENIES SEX.
Bravo.

When Leyton Hewitt won the Queen's tournament last night - whatever that is - one of the commercial networks came up with a headline I got a laugh out of: KING OF QUEENS.

Rex avoids Mike.

God, I like Rex. He gives us old blokes hope of a sordid end to our ordinary lives.

When I was a teen there was a show on the tv called "Sea Hunt" that starred Lloyd Bridges as Mike Nelson. We always called someone a "Mike Nelson" whenever they behaved badly.
Is this a local Sydney sixties thing, or what?

At least he's not gay and wanting to get married.
But:
"I was to look him straight in the eye and breathe on him..
I got a cat does that for free.

With such short, single syllable first and second names, puns are quite hard to hunt out in this instance.

What the?!? FX broke the comments.
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Hood."
"I did not exhale."

This apretty bad look actually.
In other places, celebrities videotheselves bonking, sleep with mothers and daughters at the same time, get found dead in stockings or from auto-asphyxiation or on the job with fashion designers.
But in boring old Melbourne all we get is Rex pantless and being panted on in an alleyway.
Time to bring Sam Newman off the bench I'd say.

I'd like to change 'panted on' to 'rexhaled upon'. And I'll be avoiding alleyways for a while, because to me, a pantless Rex is just as bad as some celebrity dead in a stocking (would that be a cosh?).

Wasn't the celebrity deaded "on the job with fashion designers" in Melbourne? Don't sell short our ability to sleaze in the big league. We ARE a "world class, second class city", afterall.
Cosh - I like that. A lot. "Franskston serial killer and wannabe-woman, Paul Charles Denyer, cut up a treat entering court in his/her cosh-net stockings."

I was thinking of Billy Snedden's final fatal attempt at needlepoint with Prue Acton in Sydney.
But if you know otherwise, please share.

Rexhibitionist. Tick. VG.
I thought Billy & Prue WAS in Melb. I stand corrected. Unlike Billy.

not only was Sir billy being needled by the lovely fashion designer, so was his son who was possibly in his 30's at the time.True! both father and son were sharing the same woman.Prue Acton must have been a real heart-stopper.

Good timing, Duncan, that's the topic of today's post.
