A Troppo Scoop*
Troppo was the first to bring you news that Australia was discovered by Chinese Admiral Zheng He, and also broke the story that the Templars live in tunnels under Hertfordshire…
The true identity of “Nabakov” (pictured above, centre), the commenter who always wins comment awards, can now be revealed to the blogosphere public, courtesy of another mystery Troppo commenter:
“Hi Senor Zukemov Nabakov. So at last we meet up with you.you being the badly spanish speaking ex Russian night soil collector from kharkov in the Ukraine. Your spanish Stinks!!However I have listened to worse childish statements deriding me, and despite your rudeness hope you find suitable employment after the sewer arrives in your hamlet.Your medieval monastic mutterings Decoded by my Friend an elderly defrocked Jesuit priest, revealed your ditty had been plaguerised from an instrution text; found in a !933 Portuguese motor cycle manual. How dare you suggest my chain needs adjustment, or are you the nut needed to fulfill the task. Bravo El Bastardo. Viva El Toro. Lesbo.”
Right, I’m glad that’s cleared up. Off to do some work now, despite the appalling Brisvegas heat.
ELSEWHERE: The host of the blog comment awards was of course, Australia’s true G-G, Terry Sedgwick. Unfortunately, I think the post where he announced the awards disappeared when mblog ate his archives.
UPDATE: Via Boynton in comments, here’s the G-G’s post.

That’s either Rasputin or the God of Ph.D procrastination.
The latter, Geoff, I’m outa here. Might go to the Uni library to escape the bloody heat.
Ah but what really matters is is he Left or Right?

…and so he put down his half written thesis and reached for the keyboard with feverish fingertips….

Here is the Post, (but where is the Governor?)
Great image source. Thanks. Bugger all this talk about talk – show us the pictures!
Yup, I think ole’s Leslie’s a few ignition plugs short of a two-stroke. But how did he/she/it know about my secret Famel Zundapp fetish. Strange.
Also that’s a really out of date photo. Nowadays, I’m clean-shaven with blond tips, dressed in Armani and provide sexual counselling services to oligarchs’ wives. Also, if you wanna pick up some fissile material, penis enlargement treatments or red mercury, I can hook you up with my homieovitchs next time yer in Moscow.
” Nowadays, I’m clean-shaven with blond tips,…”
You whispered to me it was a full brazilian.
“You whispered to me it was a full brazilian.”
Only around my Belize.
