Well I was gonna offer you some candy
But that's a bit predatory now isn't it?

Ok just want to give Kudos to David Haywood for the best Public Address blog entry I've read in the 2 years I've been coming here.
Thumbs up for you

Ok not relevant but what the hell is this:

Righto serious post time:
I went to Wellington College (don't judge me, so did Keith Ng), and every year the McEvedy Shield is held, it's an athletic's event between Coll, St Pat's Town, St Pat's Silverstream and Rongotai and I brought a friend along when I started university and he likened it to a Nuremberg Rally. Some of the chant's we used to yell were pretty horrendous in hindsight.
Rongotai in particular copped a lot, they are predominantly a Polynesian/Maori school and we used to sing (to the tune of We'll See You when you get there) "We'll see you on Crimewatch" and they also had a lot of African long distance runners to whom we'd chant "show us your passport".
So no I don't think it's different here at all. My old man took me to my very first test match in 1994 when the Springboks were touring and Chester Williams was playing on the wing, I can recall a number of drunken louts yelling racially charged abuse at him. -
I'm going to add my favourite sheep joke. I heard it whilst living in the UK in 2001 when they had their foot and mouth epidemic, a friend of mine said to me:
"Lucky New Zealand doesn't have foot and mouth aye? Then it'd be an STD".
Gold. If it's quality sheep jokes I'm all for them. -
I'm spartacus

This sounds ridiculous, but there's a calmer 'vibe' to this forum.
Having said that, Kiwiblog has its sonic to inflame the other side, we don't have an equivalent.

Serioulsy right, Redbaiter isn't for real? Like, it's a dude, who's actually left wing, just being a cock to wind people up?
Am I being naive? Or are there people out there like this? -
Whilst you all might find it well and good to make your nerdy star wars jokes in the safety of the interweb, I have to put up with Baker in person. He tries to get me to show him my dark side. And I don't even know if that's a euphemism or not.

Wow, whilst his cartoon is hilarious, Baker is one giant nerd.
