It’s not the Super 14, it’s the Super XIV.
Even if it is I would refuse to write it, I have a hatred for Roman Numerals. And because you might think I'm kidding: it's because the Roman's did nothing for mathematics except develop a widely used yet completely useless numerical system.

Kung Fu Monkey had this to say about Big Hollywood a while back:
It's a crack pinata. It's a garden of crack pinatas, and I'm spinning and spinning -- half the site is triumphantly noting that Hollywood is finally making conservative or secretly conservative big budget mega-hits (Dark Knight! Iron Man! Transformers!) while the other half bemoans how Hollywood keeps making anti-war/anti-American movies mega-flops. Somehow the massive hits made by mega-corporations are happy subversive accidents, while flops are the direct product of these exact same mega-corporations' self-destructive liberal agendas.

Yeah but I have a THEORY that the LIEberals here secretly voted NO

Reading the post I had to stop myself from getting angry ( it's not real it's not real it's not real )
In the end I had to vote "no" just to make myself feel better. Where are the results?

"hoons" - a good kiwi word that doesn't get used enough.
I didn't think of it as a kiwi word so I had to look it up. you are right, but check out the etymology
At the turn of the 20th century in Australia, the term "hoon" (and its rhyming slang version "silver spoon")[3] had a different meaning: one who lived off immoral earnings (i.e. the proceeds of prostitution – a pimp or procurer of prostitutes).
