  • Field Theory: He's good, but I still…,

    Gotta love the Aussie commentators.

    We had a bunch of other stuff to do yesterday, so we had the radio on for the commentary, and whenever something interesting happened, we'd run to Sky. The radio commentary doesn't make me homicidal.

    My favourite commentary moment was very early on, when someone asked Justin Langer how the Aussie team would be feeling. "Relieved," he said. "They'll just be so relieved they're only playing New Zealand and not South Africa."

    He made it almost the whole way to the end of the sentence before Marsh went out.

    Ponting to put his feet up.

    Whoa, he's getting stress leave? That's un-Australian.

    I like Nadal too, but I really thought Federer would step up here.

    Yeah, I'm a Nadal girl, for basically the same reasons I'll support Brazil if they're playing Germany at football: prettier to watch. I'm shallow, who cares. But I didn't expect him to beat Federer on a hard court after that five-hour semi he played. Kudos, I just wish he'd stop interrupting my cricket.

    My bitching about the White Ferns game is too long for a comment, I think.

  • Hard News: The Trophy Hunter,

    (On the other hand, I could just be a plain old bad feminist for liking Ludacris.)

    Pole dancing and pron. I think you're a long way down the bad feminist line behind me, darlin'. I was even perving at one of the women in the Media 7 audience ("she looks familiar, and also hot"), so I may just be doomed.

    As one chemistry teacher put it, "'Sssnot a problem. 'Ssss... a sholution".

    And if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

    Sounds like long past time I went back to the cricket...

    I always wanted a shirt with "403" on it.

    I can get you close...

  • Hard News: The Trophy Hunter,

    I rather suspect the word "tramp" means something different in today's secondary schools to what it did when I was a lad.

    Briefly so very, very confused.

  • Hard News: Trading Trade Me?,

    I recognize the jokes on the t-shirts, and I have begun to LOL, OMG!

    I'm just glad to see them turning up outside of 'ones I have had shipped her and put on my friends'. xkcd has cheaper shipping than thinkgeek. I'm just sayin'.

  • Field Theory: Hey, no gang signs,

    Yikes Emma, who put that together?

    Heck, I dunno. That's the great thing about the net, you can revel in people's bizarre obsessions without having to actually be around them.

    Oh, it's all grist to the mill at emergent slash-fic site Public Address ...

    I do what I can. This can be demonstrated by selecting 'pages from New Zealand' and googling 'wincest'. You can thank me later.

  • Up Front: Why Does Love Do This to Me?,

    Another of the contributors, Joan Smith, says she has been fielding scandalised callers demanding to know why a feminist such as herself would even countenance writing erotica.

    Yeah, I think there's probably another column full of ragey frustration there.
