  • Field Theory: Loss on two scales,

    1967–82: The "Dead Wings" Era

    Hard to believe the Red Wings were that crap for that long.

    For mine, I'd like to put forward Toronto as worst North American sport town. The Raptors are at best average, and always choke in the playoffs (if they make it). The Jays haven't made the playoffs since they won the whole shebang in the early 90s. And most importantly, the Leafs, who're the only team anyone in TO gives a shit about, haven't won a cup in 40 years, and haven't even made the playoffs the last 3 years. Oh, and they have an MLS franchise which also sucks.

  • Island Life: The resignation of Captain Worth,

    Why is Whaleoil on TVNZ commenting on this??? Seriously, they're that desperate for comment? Phil Goff (quite rightly) refused to be in the same studio.

  • Up Front: Newsflash: Women Have Eyes,

    Gah. Nudie Jez. Somehow objectification is harder when you know the people involved.

    Happy to ogle your richard kahui link though, Emma. I don't know him :) (although in a very NZ-ish way, one of my friends did go to school with him in Tokoroa).

  • Hard News: Swine flu, terror and Susan Boyle,

    *headdesk*

    Brinkley, do you know what 'derailing' means? You've been serving up a textbook example.

    Why debate actual issues when you can debate utterly pointless semantic arguments (about which you're incorrect, incidentally. ScottY's 2nd to last post is correct).

    It has taken this thread to make me want to read several posts of Graeme's pedantry :P. It seems positively... substantial in comparison.

    At least he's usually right. And not legally incoherent.

  • Hard News: The Orcon Great Blend…,

    Can we even afford to sit in a park?

    What, is Bill instituting meters for public benches or something?

    I would have thought freezing to death would be a bigger risk if we're sitting in Waitangi park in June, though.

  • Hard News: The Orcon Great Blend…,

    There was a wee delay. It'll happen.

    Sweet. Knowing my luck will coincide with my trip back to Canada :P.

    I do recall promises of Wellingon-based, Public Address-associated social events?

  • Hard News: Stop the Enabling,

    Possibly best discussed somewhere else, Emma (to avoid complete and total threadjacking), but I'd love to know a) if you've read Jacqueline Carey and b) what you think of her books :). There isn't a PM function on PA System, is there?

  • Hard News: Stop the Enabling,

    Dave Moskovitz:

    The link refers to risky sexual behaviour... Risky sexual behaviour like same-sex stuff? Or safe, sane, consensual BDSM?

    Come on man, I agree with your position re smacking, don't use Wishartian innuendo to support it.

    Upthread I was making a (poor taste) joke, you appear to be serious. Emma, this makes my apology even more abject, if this is the sort of thing that is regularly trotted out (and believed!).

  • Hard News: Stop the Enabling,

    Emma, which combination of old spock/new spock old mccoy/new mccoy are we talking about here? I know the picture is the old lot, but reboot slash could be fun :P.
