Imaginary friend?

Cameron Slater of Whale Oil Beef Hooked made some pretty harsh comments about the nature of David P. Farrar's mates.

Two days ago he told us about his imaginary friend and about his rental car, a gay Prius.

Imaginary friend? I don't think so. All you need to do is to flick through the photos on DPF's facebook page and you know that DPF doesn't have to make up mates.

Then Slater looks back to 2008 when Farrar was keeping a different kind of company.

Back then he was on a boys trip, now he is travelling with his imaginary friend, who allegedly votes Greens.

Come on Slater; it doesn't matter who you vote for. Mates are mates. Back in 2008 Farrar was hanging with his mates, a German Girl and a Ginga Ninja.

We need photos to see what has addled his brains so much. My readers don’t believe David P. Farrar. We want photographic evidence.

We believe you David but we wouldn't say no to seeing some holiday snaps.

Giggling about Orgasms

Farrar is having a good ol' time with his mate Anna.

So I asked Anna to grab the iPad from the glove box and to google for the UK speed limit on motorways. She grabs the iPad and opens Sarfari. Then just as she starts typing she starts giggling and asks why my last Google search was for “clitoral orgasm”. I start pissing myself with laugher because there was in fact an absolutely innocent, yet complicated, reason for why I had googled that term.

DPF explained that reason to Anna but he didn't want to tell us. I guess it's just a joke between mates then.

Farrar Backs Mates, Marriage

Farrar backs marriage, particularly for his mates:

Personally I'm still a believer in marriage, and I am typing this from an apartment in London, as I have travelled to the UK to attend the wedding of one of my mates. I love seeing a couple commit to remaining together until death do them part. 

... but sees a bleak future for the institution:

But the statistics out last week from Stats NZ show marriage continues to be in decline, perhaps terminal decline. The marriage rate is now barely higher than the divorce rate.

 Will Farrar be in the running for his mate's newly minted wife's bouquet? Or will romance bloom out of digital security faux-embarrassment?
