    Utah Jazz

    That does have a kind of ironic hilariousness to it, though. I mean, could there be anywhere *less* jazzy than Utah?

    The Memphis Grizzlies is also quite silly. Why didn't they rename them the... Presleys? Or the Staxes?

  • Island Life: And some with a fountain pen,

    Well, if we're going to name it after a kosher foodstuff, could we name it after beef bacon? That way, after it all goes horribly wrong, I can regularly think about mouthwatering beef bacon as we eat our weekly turnip.

    I'm still stuck at why the teams aren't called just Auckland, Wellington, etc.

    Good point. Although if you have two teams in one city it could get confusing. Hence the White Sox and the Cubs in Chicago, or the Lakers and the Clippers in LA. But if you're a one-team town, why bother?

    Is here where I whine about teams being named after one singular thing? The Force, the Storm, the Jazz, the Inferiority Complex... it drives me batty. Let it end.

    You're not creative enough with your moral equivalences.

    Is *that* what it is? Sometimes I find myself reading Craig's posts and, with the best will in the world, there will be a moment where everything seems to spin madly around in my head and I have no idea what's going on. :)

  • Hard News: Pomp and Circumstance,

    Oh god, I just realised, it was the Saturday before last, wasn't it? The wound feels so fresh...

  • Hard News: Pomp and Circumstance,

    So while you might not like what is happening, you are now in the minority in this country.

    Was that point meant to illustrate some sort of argument? Or was it just an observation? Because if it was the latter, we kinda already worked that one out on Saturday night. Thanks for the heads-up, though!

    (And yeah, the possible privatising of the air in public parks was hyperbole in the cause of humour, in my tiny mind. I love how some of you ran with the concept. :) )

    But... I still don't see how it's Eye to Eye's fault that he was a douchebag...

    That guests trust you're NOT setting them up for a Jerry Springer freak-a-rama?

    Personally, I'm waiting for the Media 7's 'tuxedoed little person leaping from a great height directly into a wedding cake while the rest of the guests throw spaghetti at each other' episode. Pull your finger out, Russell. ;)

  • Hard News: Pomp and Circumstance,

    Meh. I feel like National wins the golden ring either way. Maori and Act snipe at each other in the foreground; National uses whichever one it wants to get legislation passed in the background, all the while looking 'reasonable'; most media concentrate on the sniping rather than the legislation; and we look up in three years and suddenly notice that we've, like, privatised the air in public parks or something.
