Rusty D, toasted and roasted!

Day 2,726, 18:23 • Published in Australia Canada • by Ilene Dover



In case you've been living in a cave with no internet, or just happen to be new, our recent President has shed his Australian colours. That's right, Rusty D is leaving our shores for awhile.


In that long tradition of Aussies leaving for greener pastures overseas, he is hosting a party, so he doesn't have to packup the booze cabinet.


While we're all drinking his beer and whiskey, let's induldge in that other AUssie tradition when someone goes e😜at. A roast!


So please, grab your glasses and lean against the wall to listen to some sad, some funny and hopefully some embarassing stories about what Rusty has done for all of us.




Now, to someone like me, e-born in mid-February this year, Rusty has always been around. It feels like I sat on his shoulders and giggled my heart out while he danced with me at The Wiggles. That security blanket has certainly been yanked away in the past week...





And yes, if you look carefully, the yellow wiggle is wearing pants. That certainly dates me, although it isn't my photo...



I managed to get in touch with a few who knew the man in earlier times. When he was as new as I am, though it seems he's outlived the worst of his n00b moments (you know, the ones where you mess up the monetark market offers and sell 10 gold for $0.50) - his mentors of Dr Hugh Jardon and Louise both have more or less moved on from the game. Still, there are a few around older than him...




I asked his long suffering acountant, J Seemore, for a comment. Surely if anyone knows where he gets all money from, it's his accountant.


Rusty demotivates me working as a MoF! I told him that before and even I published it in the RBA newspaper!!


He covers all expenses with his private funds. It is unacceptable!


Before the dictatorship I was operating with Orgs, I was writing to party leaders and in the media too about donating the gold from congress medals. In the end I had a beautiful budget which covered 4 MPPs and one AS. I was proud of myself. Then he decide to cover the expenses by himself. Ugh! I want to give up!




Well, that didn't quite work out... JackTrout recounts how Rusty and Dr Hugh Jardon (before the awkwardness) picked him up as the ADP spokesman, and eventually as a dMoEE. And it all started with this terrible article. Some fond memories perhaps, in the comments section.


Seriously JT - this is a terrible article (where are the pictures you hopeless n00b?!). And I thought my first efforts were bad...and you'd been in the game for 3 months?! That's longer than I have been right now...


By all accounts, JT declined any sort of official party or government position because he was "too young". Rusty, ever eager for more youngsters to hang out at his place, kidnapped him anyway. And that, ladies and gents, is also the story of how we got JackTrout putting puzzles in our media every Sunday.




And yes, before you ask, that trout's name is Jack. Or was Jack, I should say....




Moving along before the whisky runs out, Mac Vasco, Commander of Black Spectra:


Well, I've lost the first messages that I crossed with him. But I find that he is a polite person and kind. Our fist message, around the time of the Hitman airstrike, started with Winston Churchill's quote 'We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender'.


It was a good moment for all of us.


He is a cool guy.


Thanks Mac, you're pretty cool yourself.



Well, there is always one person in this game that's good for a laugh with a short and punchy comment. Icetek!



What can I say about Rusty.....his name says it all. An old fart on viagra!


If you can decipher what he says to be offended, clearly you have no right to be offended!



And, of course, we need to close out on a moment that doesn't involve trolling. James Rellori, the man putting class back into eAustralia, put this little number together for us all to share. It sums up the past month quite nicely, if you ask me. Thanks James - anyone that can be factual and humourous at the same time has a home in eAustralia.





Thanks James. I know these take time, good job on deadline. 🙂



I know my knowledge of people and events in this game are limited. If you've got a story, or a memory, or better yet a screenshot of Rusty doing something silly, please! Step forward and share it with us.



Finally, just so you're all aware, I'm not doing this for the money (I never have). Any and all endorsements that come in will be forwarded onto the JDS team for young'uns.


Good night, and please leave your keys behind - we need you all back tomorrow.


To Rusty!
