can I haz mah Southerner back
I really liked that train route! They had Devonshire teas...

I went to the Outback Steakhouse once. They *did* have New Zealand lamb on the menu. For whatever that's worth.
I love that Jemaine put on an Australian accent, in the interests of accuracy. As if any American would know the difference! He's so dedicated to his craft...

i can think of a lot worse things for young people to get up to than taking LSD and going to the art gallery or park.
I had a friend in the US who used to go and watch greyhound racing on acid. Yep. LSD + dog track = guaranteed fun, apparently. Parklife!

So conflicted. Mini skirt and go-go boots = nomnomnomnom. Woman in position of authority constantly having to yank skirt over arse = do not want.
Wordy McWord. Although despite all that fine rhetoric about equality and fraternity and interracial harmony, Star Trek Mk 1 was waaaaay sexist: they gave Uhura the spacecraft equivalent of a receptionist's job. And look at poor old Nurse Chapel! Homegirl was shagging Gene Roddenberry in real life and still only got to be the nurse under Bones, making pathetic mooneyes at Spock at every opportunity! (I do have to undermine my own point by saying that she's also the voice of the ship's computer, which is admittedly pretty cool.)
Ahem. Yeah, I love TOS. A lot. It's Cheese! In! Spaaaaaace!
(I am pro-being-called-dude, though. Kinda like it.)

Acid: yeah, doors of your mind opening and all that, but it just *lasts too damn long*. By hour 14 it's like: OK, the walls can stop pulsing now, my lysergic friend. KTHX.
New Zealand Music Month: I remember lo those many years ago when local bands were scorned and reviled. I think it's a pleasant change.

'...*are* filled...' Jeez. Conjugate, Danielle.

I must disagree about vintage (speaking as someone whose house and wardrobe is filled with both vintage and secondhand things). 'Vintage' is something which evokes, through spirited or beautiful design, the era in which it was made. 'Secondhand' is... something you bought, and someone owned it before you. My purple vinyl chair is vintage; my grotty old car is secondhand. My grotty old car is great simply because it moves me around, while my purple vinyl chair is great because it screams, attractively, '1970s doctor's waiting room!'

greek cred
Are we back at the Isle of Lesbos again?

Yay, a Jolisa post! With The Goodies! And The Wombles! Now, if only YouTube had some Woolly Valley clips... anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Now I want one of the major diaper manufacturers to pounce on his song The Joy of Sex, with its insanely catchy chorus of "Baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby"
The song with which I achieved performance immortality! (See the NZ Music Stories thread.)
I certainly hope Heineken makes him hugely rich, anyway.

The Grumpiness XV? I'd probably be MVP in no time.
