    anything by philip k dick.

    i've more than once thought that anything that speed-addled lunatic came up with would have been better written by absolutely anyone else at all.

    and usually has.

    and... i *liked* LOTR, bitches. but, i was 11.

  • Hard News: Proud Wednesday,

    i follow a particular tweet so i was lucky enough to see NZonScreen last night.

    Spot On is absolutely classic, as is the episode of After School, "MaoriMind".

    i say well done to all involved. it's a great site, looks slick, and is easy to use.

    "So? Speak like an American," one replied.

    reminds me of the outrage about obama saying "paak-is-staan" not "pack-iz-dan". you know, the way they say it over there.

    If I could count the number of times I've had to correct a comment about Bali being in Thailand, or, once, Queensland.

    dude... bali is in queensland. why else would there be so many aussies there?

    That toeing the line. But yes.

    noooo... my eggcorn is much better. especially when you're talking about a room full of blokes pulling the rope together.

    You want "interesting" questions, try travelling Greyhound non-stop from NY to LA with a funny accent.

    i'm amazed the SPCA didn't put you in prison.

    texan: iz that south a' mexico?
    me: pretty much.

    Undoubtedly, although [colin] was not the hawk in that particular room.

    that was always my reading. i saw news reports that compared his thoughts on iraq before and after 11 sept.

    "towing the party line" was more than evident. i genuinely thought he was a conservative getting the shaft from lunatics.
