Elmo is love - says the man who brings the red critter to life.
Dude, the trailer had me at 'Hello'. Can't wait to take the kids to that.

This Tui wasn't bad.
Lana Del Ray has been smoking my bacon for a little while now.
I've also been haunted by hearing Tiny Ruins at Roundhead last week. She (Hollie Fullbrook) had a motor cycle accident in Zanzibar and has had to cancel her upcoming concert tour in NZ and AUS. Was keen to go. Hopefully she will recover soon.
More Lana.
PS Yay for Maru!

So tonight in a real life example of this discussion we learnt the phrase 'so where do you fit in?' works quite well.
Although it is not too much of a stretch to imagine the circumstances in which such an inquiry could be misconstrued.

Hard News: Winning the RWC: it's complicated, in reply to Sacha,
Euro-centrism of the IRB.
Yes, I suspect in a geography quiz, FIFA would win, but in regards to a troubled executive, I don't think the IRB are quite in the same league yet. Would quite like to see Tew on the exec though.

Or in response to the ghastly Have a nice day!:
I have other plans.
Not so common with adults, but I do like saying in response to 'thanks for having us'
'Thanks for being had'.Polite children tend to look a little bewildered, but good to keep them guessing.
And then of course there was a girlfriend who responded to 'excuse me' with 'there's no excuse for you'. It didn't last.

"I've got a TV show"
And a mighty fine one at that.
One of my friends in Wellington used to say 'well, when I'm not making milkshakes and selling coke, I drive the Cable car'. He was in fact a film editor. Which was about the coolest thing any of us were doing at the time.
