  • Juha Saarinen,

    David wasn't topless though. The picture clearly shows him wearing some sort of chest accoutrement made out of the finest possum fur. No, no... don't call the ALF. That's just mean.

    I can see your house from here, bro.

    I honestly misread this as saying "No, don't call him ALF..." Which, if you squint...

    Mr Slack is letting this topless model business go to his head. Last night at the Great Blend, I brought the subject up and he asked "Do you want a preview?" and began to lift up his T-shirt. As a polite, well-mannered lady, I found this highly inappropriate and fainted, having to be revived with smelling salts (or was that the Karajoz coffee?)

  • Juha Saarinen,

    While I appreciate that the majority of the esteemed Public Address audience reads The Listener for the pictures only, could I perhaps recommend the text of the article as well? It's actually quite good.

  • Jeremy Andrew,

    I for one, did read the article, and as a result found myself having a meal consisting of fresh fish and lightly stir-fried veges followed by some very nice, very dark chocolate. I've never felt healthier...

    X-Air

    Just the excuse I was looking for. Seems namesakes attended in force.

    I want a BMX, I want a skateboard and I want to misspend my youth. Properly this time round.

    That picture's been Photoshopped...

    You can't tell me there's an Oxford Dictionary in that office.

    Oh, wait. That's not right.

    Don't worry, David. I couldn't get past the nose. And you were joking when you said "respect" for Paul Henry, didn't you?

    Damian, ask for some of the Lasik money back.

    Robyn, you're being coy. It wasn't me who brought up the baby oil.

    Don, you're still in your youth, aren't you?

    Paul, I belatedly apologise, and now grasp how thoughtless these words were

    Mark, no really. I think he's bloody good.

    well, sitting at my desk and a paper pops up in the email, with a note to pay attention for tips on good speech writing.

    and what do you know, it's written by david slack.

    but... all i can see when i go to read it is a half-naked 46 year old.

    Who did then? Robyn? Must've been one hell of a wall-to-wall vomiting party, that Blend.

    "but... all i can see when i go to read it is a half-naked 46 year old."

    WTF? He's sending naked pictures of himself which he purports are tips on speechmaking?

    Well, we were all looking forward to your presence, Juha*, but when you didn't show up, we were forced to make our own fun. I squeegeed some baby oil out of Mr Slack's possum fur chest accoutrement, quaffed it in one go, and then puked all over the lovely new carpet in the museum.

    It turned out to be a horribly misguided attempt at entertainment, and I suspect the museum will ban me from visiting Vaka Moana. :(


    * This bit is actually true. A group of Blenders were lamenting your absence. Please come along next time!

  • Juha Saarinen,

    My god, when blutters quaff and revel... it's legendary.

    I will - tried to RSVP but the web form said the event was full... no doubt because it knew it was me and HATES ME! :P

    Juha - that's when you pull strings and ask Russ to swing you in anyway. There's always a couple of no shows (like me).

    Perhaps the webmaster could consider putting up a cancellation service on the site for those who have to pull out at the last minute? - Russ?

    A few people did that by email, but the problem is that the barrier is a lot lower for a free event - people aren't losing anything if they get lazy and watch a DVD instead. We had 400-plus people say they were coming in Auckland, just under 300 turned up. (Not you Mark - you had a good excuse ...)

    The trick is, I think, loading up with about 30% more RSVPs than we really want. Of course, the first time we do that, everyone turns up and there's not enough room ...

  • Juha Saarinen,

    I didn't want to pull strings... must admit I was late to RSVP, and well, my fault really.

  • Russell Brown,

    Oh, and Morgan - saw your blog comment about maybe texting in questions to the panel. The same thing occurred to me afterwards - I might investigate that. It could be fun.

    It's not the form, Juha. It's the web that hates you ...
