In the lead-up to the Cup, some of my liberal friends groused about the idea that the All Blacks are culturally important to New Zealanders.
Just this. But really really this.

Okay, I'll say it. You know what? We could win this next week.

Hard News: The Sound of Music, in reply to BenWilson,
One of the things I find most incongruous about NZ music at the games is that they always, always, evoke thoughts of people who would most likely have been very much on the anti-tour side. It doesn't cause nice feelings, I feel just that little bit alienated from the game every time. The kind of people who dig kiwi music and the kind of people who like rugby, as cliches, would seem to be very different tribes.
I think you're equating anti-tour with anti-rugby.
I was fifteen in 1987. I'd been anti-tour in '81, but also a child. Somewhere at my mother's, and now lost to the mists of time which is a pity, was the fervent essay I wrote at high school opposing the Cavalier's tour of South Africa. So when the first Rugby World Cup rolled around, and we were playing a very young an inexperienced team because those players who had gone to SA had been banned? I was equally fervently supporting the Baby Blacks. Rugby was making a fresh start. A fresh, pretty, lovely-cheekboned start. And now we're hosting again? That's what I think about: how important that team was then as a statement.

He also has a complicated fist bump with Zac Guildford.
Dudes have a secret handshake. And, I am assuming, a clubhouse.

We’ve been quietly thinking about how to creatively rebrand the “Building a brighter future” billboard that popped up round our way (Mountain View Rd in the Morningside/Western Springs ’hood).
Unnecessary round our way, where one of those billboards features prominently on the fence of a post-EQNZ-demolished house. It is an utterly fucking tactless campaign to be running down here.
I’d suggest Dan Carter’s groin would probably be a good place to start looking.
I had to quickly check this wasn’t Emma’s column I was reading.
The pain, the physical pain of not responding to that big a straight line.

Welcome to Emma's room in Russell's House which is a place worth wandering about.
Later we will take you out onto the Deck Outside Emma's Room in Russell's House for the 2am smoke conversation. That's where it's all happening.

Help!
You mean, the way everyone helped me with the Willy Wonka brain explosion?
