  • Cracker: A Halloween story too cute not…,

    We got one visit (stayed at pub to avoid the endless stream). We don't eat sweets so wasn't sure what the other half was going to offer. He came up with oranges.

    I LOVE Halloween!

    We went trick or treating as kids in the late 80s. Making us the only kids to do so ever in our neighbourhood (possibly ever in Tauranga). Some folks knew what was going on others had no clue but were friendly to see kids (8-9yr olds) dressed up as vampires and frankensteins. We got muesli bars and stuff. It was fun.

    The two best places were my Dad's boss who gave us $10 each and the weird old hermit down the road who gave us a whole bag of jersey caramels!

  • Island Life: Pregnant Calamity,

    Yeah, but even so you then proceeded to have the nastiest sex you've had in a long time, right? You called her "Sarah", and she used words they don't use in god fearin' Alaska and ...

    ahem.

    There is (naturally*) a Sarah Palin-based porn film now called "__Who's Naillin' Palin?__" Srsly. I've not seen it but hopefully there's a Joe the Plumber reference.

    *There's probably an Obama one too.

    and ouila! there it was, perfect Palin

    Voilà, peut-être?

    Très embarrassé!

    I blame the left-over booze.

  • Island Life: Pregnant Calamity,

    ...as you choose your adult Halloween costume.

    consider Sarah Palin, apparently she's all the rage for Halloween this year.

    The other night Amy was wearing her hair up and with her reading glasses on. "Wow, you almost look like Sarah Palin, I remarked." She silently looked at me, removed her hair clip, did somthing slightly different to her hair and ouila! there it was, perfect Palin (but many years younger). I shuddered.

    Scary and cool at the same time.

  • Field Theory: Rocktober,

    The Kings of Leon seem to combine some frantic guitar work with some of the most intense drumming I've heard.

    A lot of their songs start with drum or bass lines that disappear into the song and seem to magically resurface from time to time. I was very annoyed when they weren't DLC on Rock Band

  • Up Front: The Classics Are Rubbish Too,

    I have a theory it was hacked together in a few years by scribes working for the Emperor Constantine who wished, in an attempt to bring the declining Roman Empire under control, to replace pantheism with a rigorous and prescriptive state religion based loosely on Judaism.

    But with bacon sarnies allowed.

    I believe it was created in 1982 by a group of publishing magnates, led by Bob Guccione, and marketing gurus in an attempt to drum up sales for a bunch of worthless cross shaped pendants they had purchased by accident.

    I'm a Young Bible Creationist. :)

  • Field Theory: Rocktober,

    Speaking of drummers, according to the little fact-icles* the game gives you before each song I found out that apart from one guitar piece, Dave Grohl played all the instruments of the Foo Fighters debut album

    *not factoids, I've (sort of) learned my lesson

  • Field Theory: Rocktober,

    top northwest corner apartment in a certain warehouse-conversion in Grey Lynn do you?

    Nope. Newtown, Wellington. Sorry can't help with the noise (or invite you over for a game)

  • Field Theory: Rocktober,

    And isn't there going to be an entire Beatles edition of the game?

    Yep, I'm very stoked. And you're totally welcome to come around and jam.

    Hopefully it has Overkill by Motorhead, if your drummer can survive that Philthy Phil workout then respect.

    I don't think so, but it does have Run to the Hills by Iron Maiden and that's bloody hard.

    Nothing more rock star than those curtains ...

    But did you like the wristband we made the drummers wear?

    until the mini-guitar and drum pads are augmented by a toy keytar, plastic 303, fun-sized MPC and a minituarised (i.e. slightly less than room-sized) Moog modular.

    Don't forget the theremin

    No pix of Amy doing her Meg White impersonation?

    Ask. Receive.
