  • Southerly: Phar Lap and Me,

    Rent a-Saunder...

    Saunders? Saunders? Are you there??

    interestingly the article was written by a Bennett too - but one wouldn't expect Paula to know him from Adam, either ...

  • Hard News: Changing Times,

    Great idea - and easy enough to site with existing council-owned community facilities all over the country. Add soundproofed practice rooms, to keep neighbours everywhere happy.

    perhaps MAINZ could get funding to facilitate this
    win win for people learning
    and people needing practice
    and recording space
    (I note that that MAINZ seems to have taken over the Media Club space in Chch)

    also something that (in Chch) anyway CHART could be working towards doing more of - they do have pointers to the White Elephant trust's site and rehearsal room
    and the Creative Places Trust (though their website doesn't show from the link)

  • Hard News: Everyone's a critic,

    The dining womb...?

    If you have the time and budget their degestation is worth consideration.

    degestation? - sounds like they do child sacrifice!
    this ain't Bohemian Grove is it?

    and apparently Delicious did de-guestation!
    and Monsoon Poon did guessed Asian...
    and the Headless (unfried) Chooks did
    de Gas (krankin) Station...

    Auckland sounds just... weird!

    down here in Chch at fine places
    like, say, the Bodhi Tree we
    degust, digest and discuss...

  • Hard News: Everyone's a critic,

    Home(opathic) cooking...?

    He offered a complementary meal...

    ...and what would complement that treatment?
    Humble pie?
    Crow?
    and ya woulda got the complimentary one free, too!

  • OnPoint: Astrotobacco,

    You can bank on the whales...
    I note SpinItWide website is by Oxygen IT,
    and I note the Director of Oxygen IT is
    Stacey (Stace) Hema ...
    - a.k.a. Glenn Hema Inwood's brother... (spokesmammal for the Japanese whalemeat and consumable nightshade industries...)

    still nepotism ain't a crime, yet, right...?

    hmmm - a whales and tobacco portfolio
    if only he had aphrodisiacs as well...
    then Omeka would be the complete
    Filter Feeder Fount of "facts" rather than a
    bottom feeding PR operation, floundering about...

    I also note that
    Omeka is Maori for Omega
    (No Alpha males here.
    Yeah right! Quit yer blubbering...)
    so is this just an endplay...

  • Hard News: Dude, what just happened?,

    Reminds me of the first time I walked around a supermarket listening to a song about cocaine.

    ...had a similar cultural frisson yesterday
    hearing The Smiths' This Charming Man
    in the queue at the BNZ...

  • Hunting Fails,

    More of this needs to be in our history lessons, as you say.

    ...and our comics - Joe Wylie has already mentioned this (way back in November last year) - Jared Lane has his ongoing Kaiapoi Kid in his Progress Comics
    Tim Bollinger rates him in a recent Werewolf Cartoons section.
    Tim also rates Barry Linton's Pacific tales, as do I...
    now if we can only get him to publish them...

  • Hunting Fails,

    I believe it was a Kiwi who introduced Cain Toads to the Sugar Plantations of Queensland.

    So if Queensland is the Promised Land
    would that make us Canaan enablers?
