I remember last time some genius came up with some amazing John Campbell inspired tshirts

It all depends if you wanna go more Lebowski or King Pin

Imagine it: Hawkes Bay win the Championship, so now their second tier players become too expensive to retain.
I don't see how this works. The players all get giant salary bumps when they win? Who have you got doing your contracts?
A team with good scouting and coaching (on which there is no salary cap) and accounting should be able to dominate the table easily (See: Patriots, New England; Yankees, New York*; and Spurs, San Antonio)
*Except this year.

has he ever actually BEEN under real squeaky-bum pressure as a coach?
I imagine all of his Canterbury following would have bayed for his blood if the Crusaders had slipped.
But back to the match this should be a fantastic game. Both teams look to be peaking at just the right time. It has all the makings of a classic and exciting test.
Thankfully, I haven't heard too much of the HvD mentalness this time around

As a Hawkes Bay supporter, the demise of Otago is the cause of much deep satisfaction
As a Bay of Plenty supporter my hatred is directed towards Canterbury. At least it is now. It used to be Auckland in the 80s (stupid yuppies taking our players!)

Did anyone catch the SU2C (Stand Up To Cancer) thing last night? It was the usual schmoltzy US telethon to raise money for cancer research but there were two big points that caught my attention.
1. No mention (thankfully) of "god" or "jesus" or even "prayer". It was all "science is the only answer".
2. McCain vs Obama on the question from Lance Armstrong: What three things will you do to help fight cancer?
McCain said "I will join the fight to stand up to cancer. I have always been a ...blahblahblah etc rhetoric"
Obama said "First, I will double cancer research funding. Second, I will..."
Actually I forget the second and third ones, but all three items were actions not vagueries. Totally impressive.

you might like to define pornography
Did we ever have a go at that? I do remember there was some discussion about what is "obscene". Isn't pornography whatever particular media turns you on?
Like for that woman who married the Berlin Wall, her pr0n mag of choice would be House and Garden.

the 20,000 seat Pepsi Centre (where the Democrats recently did their thing)
I thought they were at Mile High?
there's a big difference between "sold out" and "full"
I completely agree. Moreover Fenway used to have a different number of seats depending on if it was a day or night game. (some seats were covered due to batter sight-lines).

So the solution is smaller stadiums! Brilliant!

think somewhere between The Dark Crystal and Pink Floyd's the Wall
Actually The Wall freaked me a bit too (as did Tommy), that may be why I hate Pink Floyd now.
