  • Hard News: The Honours,

    I suppose many see Myers' "honour" as an indicitive of New Zealand's wacky moral compass; problem drunks are bad, drunk-drivers practically evil, but the dealer just an honest businessman (except for illegal drug dealers, which are even worse than those in the first two categories.)

    It's all in how you look at it, really. If you take a "personal responsibility" approach, then Myers has not contributed to untold societal pain and cost. Rather, thousands and thousands of people have merely failed to exercise good personal responsibility in their use of his product.

    I got to go to Egypt in '08 where men walk around hand-in-hand a lot.

    I don't think that that indicates a sexual relationship, in Arab countries, as it might be more likely to here. Hence this.

    PS. Also this; not gay, despite appearances (to Westerners.)

    Great story, Steve.

    I feel sorry for the Germans.

    Hmm, still not quite getting that.

    It's all about the release for the last two choruses. Total pop, of course, but it works. What's the name of the Jenny Lewis track?

    Perhaps you'd also like to share with us what "services to the National Party" were rendered by Helen Clark?

    You are hereby banned from further use of fallacious argument. ;)

  • Hard News: The Honours,

    Thanks very much for last night, R&F. It was a pretty excellent night for me, all up; three parties back-to-back over the course of 10 hours, and home by 6 full of beer, lamb, cherry tomatoes, strawberries, chocolate cake and whiskeys.

    Here's that tune, of which we spoke. The original has been a massive hit, but this live performance of the re-version slays me:

    Myers claimed responsibility for Gnarls Barkley.

    I'm intrigued. Can you elaborate?

    100th post. Are there prizes?

    Ah... no. I didn't even get anything for my 1000th. If I get nothing for my 10,000th I'm outta here.

    To add insult to injury, it's Sir Doug, for services to business and the community.
