Comrade eschews deep civility

Apparently not all armadillos believe in deep civility. Nor are we all non-aligned centrists. Apparently some are even would-be active supporters of John Howard's vision of Australia's role in South-East Asia.

    Ken, I would like to see your permit to be in the contry please as:
    "It is illegal to import armadillos without a permit."

    Also, I will treat with with even greater reverence now that I know:
    "Armadillos are a protected species listed under the Convention for the International Trade of Endangered Species"

    This obviously wasn't Chlamyphorus Truncatus - also known as the Pink Fairy Armadillo.

    Oh I don't know. This comrade may have been The Village People's mascot. Macho Macho 'Dillo? Leather boots, cowboy hat, tight jeans etc. It might not win Carson Kressley's seal of approval, but it's a recognised fashion sub-genre, as far as I can see (a man who suppies photos of himself in black leather bib and brace daks is hardly in a position to criticise IMO).

    The Adelaide address, by the way, was nothing to do with me. Honest.

    Shows that all armadillos are terrorists, and as all terrorists are muslims, thus all armadillos must be muslims.

    I'm a clever kid!

    Why does this description make me think of Howard?

    I know, I know. But you are all obsessed as well.

    I have to admit I did think of Scott.

    At least when the masses revolt against the gun toting tyrants, they can no longer seek refuge somewhere in South America

    Carolinkus, I'm afraid your armadillo link misfired. Please try again, because we armadillos are anxious for news of each other.
