Democracy Manifest

I was sad to see that Jack Karlson had passed away. Apparently they snuck his pipe into hospital, and gave him a last taste of red wine through his tube before he passed. A colourful character, and I hope the planned documentary goes ahead.

The man behind Australia's most viral meme dies at 82

Jack Karlson became an internet sensation as the subject of the "Succulent Chinese Meal" viral clip.

My friend and I quote that to each other all the time. I will have a succulent Chinese meal in his honor.

We were quoting him on our porch several weeks ago with our friend, John, and neighbour, Terry, and having great laughs. Sad to hear this news.

Sad news. Good Laugh and good humored despite what happened. Why do the Police never simply ask for an ID ??? Why always arrest and booking then ID ??? I suppose we'll never know.

Sad news indeed. RIP.

Mainly due to fake ID. Easier to arrest first then run finger prints. Easier still to shoot and have 'em send to hospital where they can't run. But shoot is frown up on now days. RIP.

I've seen the video a million times, and I always lose it when he sarcastically tells the officer, "Ah, yes. I see you know your judo well!" What a chad. RIP to the legend.

Without knowing the backstory at all, it strikes me as the Aussie version of that South Park clip

One of the best impersonation of Tony Hancock I've seen. Fair Dinkum!

Yes, fun character.
