Boom Town rats...
Well we did have Neil Roberts in Wanganui
and the Wellington Trades Hall bomber
and Those Damn French Rainbow Warrior bombers
but that was the '80s...
things are different now -
The thin veneer of civilisation...
This might suit the government, which can declare that the delayed spending -- of the order of $200 to $300 million -- is being done at the discretion of the newly-elected council.
INCIS II anyone?
-
indigene pool satire...?
that did seem like a kind of nasty parody of indigeneity.
or an ingenuous indignity?
or a muddling dig amid ingenuity?This parody is dead!
dare I say a polygone...
(if you get my angle...) -
Enemies of the stadia...
If there is a threat to the RWC, where does it come from? Inside NZ? Outside?
I'd be worried about those re-energised Soccer
(sorry, Football) fans... now they've had a taste of the
big time there'll be no stopping them!
I can see them marching round Mt Eden
all singing in unison - pitch perfect - ala Jericho!
...and of course there is always the clear and present danger of the Southern Skinheads...
;-) -
The Sylvan Surfer & our stunted land...
(they use the landscape, they use the skills & abilities, but they mean buggerall to us and how we view the world.)
I get that, we are a stunt-nation, stand-ins, bio-body-doubles for the lost (or more expensive) European forests and vistas. Weta animates an a proxy-mation and now with the ultimate manifestation Avatar we no longer even need the real forests...
- Mr Brownlee you can send in the diggers,
we'll reanimate the corpse...
Welcome to Jacksonville (the Capital formerly known as Wellington) please put on your 3D glasses for the duration of your trip... ;- ) -
We demand answers...
Is Russell Brown a sleeper
for the Fruit Aryans
(be wary of the stoned and the pipped...)
or is he the new Fruit Saladin?
(beware of Lion-Hearted Dicks!)One also imagines the StundayTsar Times
would be the first to complain were someone
to show up their internal security - say by
getting within metres of the managing editor's office wearing "mock exploding cricket boxes" - I can see the headlines in the NZ Harbinger now "Cock-up at Star" or "Publisher experiences groin pains" or make yer own... -
Good old FearFacts (or is it FairFox?)...
Obviously for too long we have lived with our illusory freedoms and democracy, ignoring the yoke of fear that joins and shackles our American & European brothers (and sisters).
Luckily we have a valiant and brave Yellow Press willing to couple us to the prevalent paradigm.
Here's hoping with all their Egg-stremist machinations they end up with the yolk on them... -
That would be The Lovely Bones, wouldn't it?
That's in Bad Taste, surely, he said Feebly... :- )
-
1. Few (relative) outside the country know the films that were made in New Zealand ...
But surely they've all seen the classic Battletruck!
That would be a Freudian twist, to put a valley on a mountain. Ambitious too.
With supersymmetry (if its not a silly con) it would be more of a Moebius twist - voila the Anti-Valley...
another way of having a valley on a mountain ~ that slow moving, Russell Crowe chiller - GlaciatorAmbitious for New Zealand"
aah yes the Rethink Big meme
I think they meant "Ambit IOUs for NZ"
...stuff we'll be paying for, for years to come
with often no visible return... -
Just Conduit!
that's a big tick for the new cable idea...
and i can well imagine Weta et al making good use of it, or maybe for linking to this beast - 322 terabits per second is a lot of data isn't it?.Grey Lynn Wood...
Flying Nun collection is a great start
and remember before Wellywood there was Hakanoawood!
Chris Knox has filmed many epics at home, most rooms were used at one time or another The brain that wouldn't die is probably the biggest ensemble & genre piece, all filmed under the house. From memory the cast includes Robert Key (Expendables, Not really anything, Cake Kitchen) as the Doktor, Barbara Ward & Jay Clarkson as the pikelets (the singing heads in the background)
Bob Sutton (protopunk) & Johnny Pierce - R.I.P. (Headless Chooks) as the two headed monster, Siobahn (I think) as the transplantee bride of Frankenstein, oh and I am the hunchback - doo doodo doo (with Dick Driver's hair it seems!) though after quarter of a century my memory plays tricks... and I can't get the clip to play at proper speed - it jumps and stalls on both Safari & Firefox - bloody wireless internet...Don't take the Brown Bread...
just in... the CIA is an ass(id) in the PainA 50-year mystery over the 'cursed bread' of Pont-Saint-Esprit, which left residents suffering hallucinations, has been solved...
