  • Hard News: Again: Is everyone okay?, in reply to Craig Ranapia,

    humane purpose would be served by emergency workers (or Key and English) speculating?

    none. it's more likely that numbers get tallied as they come in, then are reduced when duplicates are identified.

    but >1 is more than enough, no?

    considering the years of huff and puff and no result, it might have already happened.

    do you think that the NZ cricket team would perform better if we threatened to chop off their balls?

    i'd thought the same about the ABs, but there last few WC "finals" seem to have demonstrated they have none to start with.

    Men’s retreats.

    yup... my uncle was involved in them in Aust, and he can be as fruity the cake.

    long since came out, thank christ. it turned him into a normal person.

    I now have a perverse desire for you all to gather in a circle in the bush somewhere and beat each other meaningfully with small handfuls of aromatic twigs.

    swift-feather has already put up his drum.

    also, re: prostate check, a few years back my grandfather got very very bad cancer. he survived, and warned me to ensure i got tested, "but not the fingery-bottomy one - get the blood test because no amount of prodding revealed this cancer."

    i dutifully headed into the GP ad asked for said test. he replied i was too young and to come back when i was nearing 40+. i insisted, and he resisted. i insisted again, and he resisted.

    took me a little while to twig that he thought i was looking for a low-cost prod in the telecom symbol!

    Or does it have to be your biological child?

    as i can now speak as a father, biological children are pretty damn cool.

    but you have to have one as a loaner, so be it.

    the trouble with those replacement children is that you can never train them right again. last one was an athlete, this one "throws like a girl" and can't be taken back under warranty.

    Vasectomies are, after all, a very simple and straightforward procedure for healthy men, and prevent women from having to endure much worse.

    you know, i misread that sentence and substituted "impotence".

    i think they call it “the stallion” if it’s any indication.

    i saw a doco on it on the telly (back when i watched one), and immediately thought, "i need to introduce more fibre to my diet, TODAY."

    yup. a bit of a tickle.

    not childbirth, but you don't get to take home a bundle of joy. only that look on the face of the ex-girlfriend who sees you walking out of the clinic.
