  • Hard News: iPad Impressions,

    forced to limit the margins on its products

    What would be so bad about that?

  • Hard News: The truth about "Party Central",

    See you there, Kyle! (If I can, um, manage to leave the baby with my mother for 21 hours without having some sort of conniption. The jury is still out on that.)

    Did he sleep with the iPad under his pillow?

    Is it like wedding cake? If you sleep with an iPad under your pillow, do you dream of the Apple-designed robot you're going to marry one day?

  • Up Front: Something Chronic,

    My little dude has ruined me by being mellow and cheerful and an excellent sleeper (so far). So now I'm four months in and suffering from pleasant delusions. "Sure, we could totally do two!", I'm thinking, like a complete idiot. I have clearly failed to internalise the concept of "quitting while ahead".

  • Hard News: The truth about "Party Central",

    if ya wanted to get all birth town on it, well we'd have the esoteric sounding Invercargill / Te Kuiti Sound...

    A few months ago it occurred to me that Chris Knox and my mother would have gone to primary school together. This amuses me no end. (My mother is... not at all like Chris Knox, let's say.)

  • Southerly: Everybody Needs Good Neighbours,

    They'd had a tip there was a P lab operating. My neighbour was extremely indignant about this, on the basis that he'd only been homebaking heroin.

    I think I've told this story before, but a friend of ours got arrested for having marijuana in his car glove compartment and was also indignant because 'officer, it was shitty pot!'

  • Southerly: Everybody Needs Good Neighbours,

    PAS is the absolute worst (or best) source of earworms. I've never belonged to a forum which gives me so many. I'm not sure what that says.

    I was going to ask how one 'encourages' a duck to give someone a life-threatening disease, but I see further down the page that it was the feeding. I don't know, I have a feeling that if there's a duck out there with that kind of homicidal rage, a few crusts of bread might tend to divert it instead. I think you were doing the neighbour a favour, David. You were sadly unappreciated.

  • Up Front: Something Chronic,

    On PAS it's about the pants; on Twitter it's currently about the capes. We've got it covered.

    ETA:

    I've done it again: inaugurated a new page with a distressingly stupid comment.

    No, no, that's *my* specialty. (It could be because 97% of my comments are distressingly stupid, so it's a statistically likely thing.)

  • Hard News: Behind the Paywall,

    I find the quality of the reporting and especially of the commentary here to be an embarassment. But that perhaps is just me.

    It's not just you. The commentary particularly is awful, awful, awful. I know everyone says 'I could do that better!' but dude, I so could! (Particularly those columns which are of the 'meandering and wittering' ilk. Those two words are my middle name.)

  • Hard News: Ideology for Evidence,

    who one day will learn not to take Danielle and others seriously all the time

    I am vaguely horrified at the prospect of being taken seriously even a bare majority of the time.
