merc,
Andrew and Agent Riddley, you lived in a castle, but were separated at some point as a social development research study. We have been pleased with progress, however it is unfortunate that you have now discovered the truth. You may have to be "retired". Happily we still have the toys.
P.S. Virgil was a reprobate who fell very short of our glorious hopes for him. -
that wouold explain the MSD tattoo on the back of my neck.
take andrew. i won't tell. i'm not ready to come in yet. -
merc,
We'll let the Commitee decide that eh?
BTW, how did you find the mark? I mean, were you looking for it? -
His roving eye tends to catch you as you gravitate towards the floor during Heimlich manoeuvres.

i found it when i was um doing 'stuff' with a mirror and my paris hilton hobby hose.
-
10-4 good buddy. Never mind the hoses, here's the Riddley.
-
merc,
Well that's fine, we all need those private moments, mine are becoming stranger as I get older, like gardening.

Just to revert to the topic (sort of) I enjoy the civility here, though as a blog comments virgin, its also a bit intimidating. I suspect it might be easier to begin as an anonymous ranter… I have been diverted by the fact that the (mostly) correct spelling and punctuation proves to be very useful to written communication, ie. I’m not sure intentions can be misread (based on what I’ve viewed here) if you punctuate correctly..
And in tomorrow’s NBR you might be interested in the discussion on the Baubles of Office, Victoria University Press’ anthology of election 2005 analysis which notes of bloggers:
'Peter Fitzjohn, Ruth Dyson’s boy-genius policy advisor, co-authors a chapter on blogging in the campaign. Although the predictions for blogging’s future as a media factor seem a little premature, this chapter is a useful analysis of how the cyber-wars played out at the time. (And includes the chilling observation that blog commentators actually represent an unusually well-informed segment of the voting population.)'

snap spidey. but gardening isn't strange... why, it's natural even
Victoria University Press’ anthology of election 2005 analysis which notes of bloggers sounds interesting Rachel, will keep an eye out. any online refs?
-
the chilling observation that blog commentators actually represent an unusually well-informed segment of the voting population
yes indeed the respondents of kiwiblog are fabulously well-informed
-
merc,
Boy Genius, phew. VUP, now why would they publish that? More grants go that way than...must-stop-the-bitterness.
Punctuation is crucial. And yes, kiwibloggers are special, where do they get the intel? -
See I like how the PAS threads go all silly (in a good way) when they get really long, rather than all abusive (in a bad way). It's All Good.

"Course we had it tough and never had no Thunderbirds toys, had to make our own enema tubes. But we were happy.
Why was the Thunderbirds film so lame? One could no longer see the strings on the actors but the dialogue was substantially the same.
And finally, isn't the rise in interweb rudeness a sign that end times are near????

"snap spidey. but gardening isn't strange... why, it's natural even"
Which brings us back to hobby hose restrictions...
Why was the Thunderbirds film so lame?
Made by people who didn't know, and didn't care.
BTW - what I REALLY wanted, but never got, was a Man From Uncle Spy Kit & Johnny Seven Gun (fired plastic bullets & grenades - only one kid in our village had one. And he wasn't me.)
-
The Baubles of Office weighs in at 600pgs, however, and by all accounts not as revealing as previous election campaign notes.
-
well hamish our thunderbird toys and hobby hoses were made of gravel mind.
i had a Man From Uncle 'journal' i think they called them, sort of a hardcover magazine for kids.
btw andrew, look out for father merc, he's a planning to bring you in.
-
merc,
For now, all is as it should be, except this, confirming my own pop analysis, http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0704/S00200.htm (or hit the Scoop link to the right there on the PAS homepage).
Not so much a father as a Mother. -
great article m

merc,
It's a long wade, but rewarding, if only to feel the MySide bias bile rising.
-
well Anger is an Energy, as the song goes.
-
merc,
Can you imagine linking that to kiwiblog...heads exploding...Head Like A Hole, bow down before the one you serve, you're going to get what you deserve...
-
hehe, i think their imaginary persecutors are already giving them what they deserve.
they need soothing with 'we'll build a world of our own...' and 'i used to be much older then, i'm younger than that now'. -
and for the Little Austrian himself... "why do birds, suddenly appear... everytime, you are near..."
-
I'm setting up a new spatial networking site called MySideBias. I trust you will join.
-
ahem.. [clears throat]
"head like a hole!
black as your soul!
i'd rather die!
than give you control!
bow down before the one you serve,
you're gunna get what you deserve..."saw that played to an audience at a gig at takirua depot back in 1990.
a few hundred people watching half a dozen transvestites perform acrobatics on a two story scaffolding.
bit of a perspective shift for a boy from mount maunganui, let me tell you.
