the penises were going to be my entry into the competition
Careful not to leave them lying around. I suspect that's how we ended up with the Sky Tower.

dressed with finest mongolian truffle-hog droppings or somesuch.
That's the only kind they sell in Devonport now that it's full of snooty drunken Poms and South Africans. Andre will back me up on this.

Fuck it. If we're going to have a "Party Central", we might as well just get lots of barbeques and kegs and hand out free booze. $23 million buys a lot of beer and sausages.
Actually, I'm only half joking about that - having a very large barbeque going every night would be a great way to show hospitality, rather cheaply, and would contribute to a warm atmosphere. People are always happier with hot food in their bellies.George has it exactly right. What did they do when the rugby-loving future King Of New Zealand came to visit? They put on a barbie and he and the PM sucked a few cold ones. It's him and his mates coming for this very party. Do it again.

That's like describing War and Peace as a novel about Napoleon's successful invasion of Russia.

The very fact that Key's been talking this week about spending political capital rather than investing it tells you this is not the sharpest set of steak knives in the kitchen. I thought he was supposed to be a fucking hot shot banker. Oh. Right.

This sounds like fun. Just grabbing at random from the canon:
Babe I got something to say to you
I ain't got the winning ticket
Not the one that's gonna pull us through
No one said that it'd be easy
Let your old man take you home
But know that if you walk out on me that darling
I'd be gone -
You can't drown in a birdbath.
@davidslack, since you mention it.

Mr Slack, what has happened to you? Have you been on the receiving end of a bolt of lightning or a holy hand grenade? No communications from you for a while, we are worried.
Sorry. It's been a crappy year. Injury, illness, too many commitments, people not doing what you pay them to, family stuff. Rebooting on Jan 1.

I was disappointed that a smiling David Slack appeared on the programme last week.
I'm disappointed if the impression I conveyed was that I didn't disapprove of what he'd said. I was trying to provide an opportunity for him to mend bridges. I did make the argument that we should mock the powerful, not the vulnerable.
One thing, though. It seems to be generally believed that he used the word 'retard'. In fact, I don't believe he did. He mocked the fact that Susan Boyle was 'mildly retarded'. Bad enough, you may well say, but I think we need to get the charge sheet right.

We appear now to have moved on from the bold claim that APN's legal budget has been slashed.
Spoke to a Herald person yesterday. They said they seemed to still be running up a lot of (editorial) legal bills for an enterprise that's supposed to have had its budget slashed.
