I recently blogged about some alleged Judas Priest artwork plagiarism [Riemann's Cut], which reminded me of something I discovered a few months back. As you see above, there are two similar space-themed cat-in-humanoid-costume works. On the left is mine, and on the right is someone elses. The piece I did was artwork for podcaster, Neal, over at Into Your Head radio [intoyourhead.com]. The one of the right is something I randomly found sometime later, over here [mikailinfo.com]. I'm not sure if they're the owner of it, and doing a quick Google search doesn't throw up anything interesting. I'd like to know it's origins, and if there were any more. It looks like it could be quite old, and if so, what a strange zeitgeist to tap into.

More importantly than some silly observation about internet art, I wanted to finally address an episode of Into Your Head, in which Neal deals exclusively with issues surrounding me. Proving that no good turn get's left unrubbed, I'm responding to it now, five month's later. I'll assume my responce won't interest many readers, so I'll try to keep my reflections exciting, for the one or two poor fuckers who hoover up any old shite. Shall we begin? Forward.
This is mean't to be a podcast exclusively about me, but Neal insists on starting it about eggs, and "fucking crap". Now we're being told that Gareth Fitzgerald was a benign dictator of Ireland. He was not, don't be lying Neal. He finally gets around to talking about me, but because his studio resembles London after the Blitz, he can't find the question I asked him. He sounds like a doctor nervously trying to find HIV results. I hope I passed, or failed, or however that works.
Sorry Neal, it wasn't bullshit. I did indeed try listening to three podcasts at the same time once. Listening back to the rest of my comment about it, I'm not sure I understand what I'm rambling on about, so maybe you were right and I was lying. I like how I demanded that Neal answered my questions immediately, but it took me 5 months to reply to this. Monkey Nuts.
It's Riemann's Cut. Reeeeeeee-mans Cut. It's German for circumcision. Ah yes the referendum. We have another one coming up soon now. Something about reducing the age at which you can abort children. 16 years old is the new limit, I think. That reminds me, I don't use the word cretin enough, or cunt. [Monkey cunts, that's what they call them. Big steaming piles of monkey cunts]. Neal suggests that my blog is basically "words and gif animations of women's arses." It is not. That's slander, Neal.
Now I'm getting a recycled poem dedicated to me. That was wonderful Neal. Very touching. If you made any more of an effort you might stop breathing. I always wanted to be an aggressive electric boiler seller, and now I am, in a poem. Neal has no problem recalling Boris Yeltsin's name but draws a blank when trying to come up with the name of the current Russian president, Vladimir Putin. That sums up all the problems facing Russia today. Racism. It's all racism.The podcast has suddenly stopped being about me, so I'll turn it off now. Well that was fucking lovely. Thank you very much and good morning.

That was beautiful essay, thank you for your belated responses.
Maybe I should get Vladimir Putin's name as my next tatoo. There's a big empty right forearm crying out of it, just under wifey's signature. My left forearm is a black panther being strangled by a snake, so it'll all match up pretty well.
My memory is not what it used to be, but Garret definitely visited my then home town of Thomastown during a campaign around 1980 or '82, and I definetly got a cap bearing the phrase "Garret is Good for You". Election hats don't lie, Mr Goblin. It's almost certainly against the rules to do so. Anyway, good morning.

You should get this tattoo of Putin [link], it nicely sums up the man.
I'd be wary of men handing children any sort of head gear. That's how they get you, first it's caps, then it's bags of sweets. Children can't resist a good cap, especially one containing such an attractive mind programming slogan as you described. You're lucky to be still alive, frankly.
