Darryn Lyons with Andrew Law and Ben McCleay

I may never recover from “the mayor’s robes have also been chewed on by a dingo.” ☠️

he's like a harmony korine character 😭😭

I wonder if this man is the small domino for Joanne Kennedy Rowling being THAT WAY

I Ate At Darryn Lyons' Pizza Restaurant, Ask Me Anything (tl;dr it was unremarkable. Not good, but not so bad as to be memorable. Geelong is a nice city, it deserves better.)

much like his peer Rob Ford, this man is goon-shaped

Nova, how the hell do you know about Trenton

This is my first ep of NGNM and I’m already ahead of Mattie (having learned from 🇬🇧 media 🇬🇧 what a Head Boy is)!

oh my god I just noticed the top of the fake abs, that's not where that goes

Combover Fauxhawk is the name of my boomer ska cover band

As someone who grew up in Melbourne it’s nice to get some Victorian deep cuts, when I was younger I remember Darryn appearing on The Today Show semi regularly to do his shtick

Combover Fauxhawk was Benedict Cumberbatch's roommate in boarding school when they were both 8 years old.

So I live in Melbourne, but grew up in the country and used to spend a lot of time in Geelong. One of my old friends that I met at Uni was Lyon's nephew, and would tell me about having to spend time at his regular extravagant champagne pool parties he would throw while he was mayor, that my friend hated going to but would put up with because Darryn would always give him a very expensive vintage guitar or something if he came to hang out. Also a couple of months ago I was in Geelong for a family member's wedding, and was staying in an air bnb with my partner and their mum, and the house next door to the building we were staying in was Lyon's mayoral home, you can see the giant crystal chandelier on the front porch from the street. There's also a plaque on the footpath in front of the house that reads: "LYONSVIEW - Home of Darryn Lyons, 95th Mayor of the City of Greater Geelong, 2013-2016 World renowned photographer, celebrity snapper Mr Paparazzi and founder of media conglomerate BIG Pictures. [...] From humble beginnings, he created an empire that set a benchmark for the global media in celebrity culture. Lyons will be remembered as a passionate visionary, photographer, businessman, author, philanthropist and politician. But his greatest passion is Geelong, which he promotes relentlessness on the international stage. "Expect the unexpected, believe in the unbelievable, achieve the unachievable" - Darryn Lyons"

where do you even get those bronzes, is there some factory somewhere churning them out?

Every Election Day an Australian is given the choice: Bunnings or Browning.

Darryn Lyons is truly the Rob Ford of Eric Adamses of Australia.

Art is to Women as Truth is to Beauty

Looked up the photo of him and his wife: perfect couples costume for Halloween.

mayoral candidates should have to fill out one of those 80-question personality inventories that they make you take when you apply for a retail clerk job === also sorry to keep latching onto intro banter, but I feel Nova’s comment about being made to wear a uniform designed by a pedophile ✋ Twelve years of catholic school and grown-ass adults twisting their necks to get an extra eyeful of that sweet plaid kilt 👹

I went to a catholic state school and it still had head boys and head girls
