Pandanus, the gifted anonymous political writer who penned the popular BEATING THE BULLDUST column in Darwin’s independent newspaper, The Star , in the 1970s , sadly no longer in existence , has come in from the cold down south . Little Darwin has received coded emails from the mystery writer as a result of our media series ,REWIND THE PRESS !
While showing obvious signs of memory loss, Pandanus still has a whimsical streak and frequents the hallowed halls of academe from time to time, relentlessly attempting to discover the meaning of life and furtively scratching Socratic sayings into the sandstone foundations on campus.
Somehow, Pandanus spotted a blooper in the NT News report that TOT night-Tits On Tuesday-at the Discovery nightclub in Darwin could come to an end. More attentive than us , Pandanus noticed the News said this event sees “scantily clad ” female patrons dancing on stage- “often bearing (sic) their breasts.”
Obviously interested in mammaries from an academic and anatomical point of view , pedantic Pandanus was titilated , so emailed us saying it was good to see that in swinging , modern Darwin the nightclub allows girls to take their breasts along to the premises. But what about the damsels not bearing gifts and breasts ? I hear you ask . They also cavort on stage , their lack of front, no doubt due to a bad case of rickets and shortage of starch during puberty , hidden from view by a coarse Pandanus frond, a cheap Territory imitation of the Dance of the Seven Sherberts.
