This pimple-faced teenager outmanoeuvred her superbly.

“Do we want a party throwing nutto or a quiet scary nutto?” is an excellent question.

Some talkback caller somewhere suggested Corey was gay, though on what evidence I have no idea.

You also touch upon some issues which I’m exploring in an essay this weekend… stand by!

Another Paris Hillbilly.. lol I think we may even see a Corey marching band at the Mardi Gras. On the other hand parents can only blame them self’s.. What is this throwing responsibility to other people business!! Youngsters can not do anything these days. I remember when a few years back we were able to ride at the back of a ute, party outside, fireworks, bonfires, stay up late and didn’t have to meander mindlessly in shopping malls or spend hours on the net just to socialise. Give the kids some fun activities to do!! Do we want a party throwing nutto or a quiet scary nutto? I know I like the idea of a good party better!!

He doesn't seem to have particularly sophisticated analysis or negotiation skills. Or, for that matter, media management skills -- despite his [ahem] "party planner cred" amongst his fellow suburban white-trash cohort. After all, he <a href="http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,23064389-2862,00.html">accepted $750 for a radio interview</a> when there were much bigger offers on the table. <strong>@Chris:</strong> "Lighten up, world" translates to "Please turn off your brain" or something, right? Corey's <em>had</em> "a good time", plenty good. And now he needs to clear up the mess. I guess you've just searched for everyone mentioning Corey and posted a link to your own blog so you get nice and high in Google search results? If so, you should have at least sold advertising on your site and cashed in on your own attention-seeking. That way you'll have something of lasting value once the bubble has burst. @Justin: I think you’re right, matey. He doesn’t seem to have particularly sophisticated analysis or negotiation skills.

Gotcha. Thanks, Morrie.

How someone swimming in such a shallow part of the gene pool could be labeled legend is beyond me. He is a 16yr old testosterone laden with poor dress sense. Loser? not sure. Nuisance, certainly.
