"Are you ready to receive my limp penis?" i died when I heard this! please put this on a shirt or coffee cup
Just listened to this episode & Found this old thread so I could mention that Jack (AKA Cecil George Edward aka the democracy manifest guy) has resurfaced. This is a good article that includes an interview with him. Guys a bloody legend! https://www.smh.com.au/national/this-is-democracy-manifest-mystery-star-of-viral-video-found-at-last-20200307-p547vr.html Though Paul Dozsa sounds like he would’ve made a solid (if a little belligerent) drinking buddy & teller of tales. The way he died is a great nod to his beliefs.
Message for any future listeners: As noted in VN4VL, Democract Manifest guy is not Paul Dozsa but apparently was a (at the time?) petty conman named Cecil George Edwards, who is now trying to legitimately cash in on his memetic fame.
Fascinating story. Good to hear about that old Australian legend we grew up with. There's a question about the origins of the video you feature. I thought you might be interested in this article https://thebrag.com/succulent-australian-mystery-who-bloke-iconic-video/
Can I blame the Hungarian Army for my decision to take out student loans and thus cease repayment? ;)
