  • Southerly: Our Saddest and Most Tragic…,

    Okay, so that last paragraph wasn't especially thread-related. What I meant to post was, I have my copy of the book. Joy.

  • Southerly: Our Saddest and Most Tragic…,

    I don't quite understand the context of those last 2 comments...but perhaps it was a case of subliminal blog commenting.

    I believe there's a RHM festival on in Hawera this weekend, and Paul was expressing his horror that Ronnie's house got bowled to make way for KFC. So not thread-related but topical.

    Meanwhile, if you subscribe to the belief that The Standard = Labour, red team voters in Epsom are again being told to vote for the Nats' Richard Worth over Labour's Kate Sutton, for the sake of keeping ACT out. Correct me if I'm wrong, but did this actually work last time?

    Nyaaah!

    Ronnie Hugh Morrieson's house that he wrote many of his books in- and I think of the scene of the painting and the fire from The Scarecrow- is now a KFC.

    Nyaaahhh!

    To the general acclaim of Hawera's residents, who had been less than impressed over the years with their various foibles making it into RH's books. Or so I've read.

    Don't worry. I got wrong-footed exactly the same way the first time I read it.

    Really? I've never really been a Colbert fan; he's good as an occasional correspondent, but the end-of-show crossovers are pretty hit and miss IMO.

    Oh, and more Aasif Mandvi should be mandatory.

    You will do better in Google

    Meaning you as a company will rank higher in Google results, not that you as a searcher should use MFNZ instead of Google.

    "Last night's Daily Show had a hysterical (and very pointed) segment addressing just this issue. They're getting very angry this election, and it's mostly making them funnier."

    Agreed. I am very pro-Incredulously Angry Jon.

    Solidly thirded here. If only every awkward cross-over segment with Stephen Colbert could be replaced with Jon in furious proud New Yorker mode.

    Media 7 was great. A very good evening at the filming, and I'm sure the show will be just as much fun for those at home.

  • Hard News: Real Gone,

    It was funnier in my head, and it's late here. Leave me alone.

    I actually thought it was bloody good. I spent some time trying to think of another term that captured the idea, but I think you got it in one. Having a pleasant evening? :P
