  • Random Play: Make It Easy On Yourself,

    There are two places in New Zealand that I always seem to get lost in - the North Shore (thank god for the Sky Tower to guide me out of there) and Brooklyn in Wellington (and also Brooklyn in New York, but that's another story). I think there's an evil spirit there that just somehow sucks out all of my logical sense of direction and just leaves me driving around and around and around before I can make sense of it again.

  • Hard News: Proud Wednesday,

    That's strange. It's bangin' through for me on two different connections.
    Where are you trying from?
    (If it's work, use the code-word, "harbour")

    Ahh yes, now that I have swum to a secret island in the harbour, things seem to be working much better.

  • Up Front: Just Answer the Question,

    4/ All the current leaders of New Zealand's political parties are on a plane. It crashes into the Andes with no hope of rescue for weeks. Whose delicious corspe do you save for last?

    I think this question is worth discussing in its own right, because I think your logic is flawed. I think you should eat the most delicious person first. I know that many people will eat their broccoli first at dinner so that they can finish on the good thing, but I think in this case two things should be considered:

    a) When you've got a bottle of really great wine and a bottle of crap wine, you drink the good one first so that you're a little bit drunk by the time you get to the other one and it therefore tastes better
    b) What if the meat starts to rot over the course of the weeks, and you end up wasting the most tasty person of all because you have to throw it away?

    Also, I'm hoping that you'd need an introductory course to get you into the taste of human flesh, and therefore it might be easiest if you start with the most delicious, right?

  • Hard News: Have you met thingy?,

    <absolute wankery>I think my problem is that everyone remembers me because I stand out, but most people are just ordinary and when you're as popular and cool as me, it's very very hard to remember all the little people</wankery>

    Also, I tend to meet people in loud drinking situations and I might not always catch their name first off, and don't want to ask for it again after we've been talking for ages. I like tags on photos on Facebook, that helps.

  • Field Theory: Let's make some noise,

    You make a good point, I am fond of white russians so perhaps our team's uniform might consist of dressing gowns. Or we could take it to the next logical step and then I can wear my PJs.

    Uh oh, I hope we're not giving the competition any ideas.

  • Field Theory: Let's make some noise,

    Bowling League really is excellent and I do recommend that if you're in Wellington you enter a team. Last year we had the best villians ever in the form of Clemenger BBDO. This year I'm anticipating that the Bowlingtonista will do even better than sixth place! But we need to do some hard thinking on what our uniforms will consist of.

  • Up Front: The Innocent Sleep,

    s that melatonin? My doctor tried me on that for a while.

    No, it's zopiclone, which according to Wikipedia shouldn't be taken for long-term use, but oh well!

  • Up Front: The Innocent Sleep,

    My psychiatrist has me on sleeping pills to adjust my circadian rhythms. Apart from the lingering taste in my mouth, they're glorious things, except they take a good 12 hours to get out of my system, and they make my dreams even more vivid so I don't actually want to wake up.

  • OnPoint: Don't cry for me, Argentina,

    I have this terrible feeling that when Russell promises you and Tze Ming that he's taking you out to a nice farm, he's actually just taking you out back and having you shot....

    We'll miss you!
