Mathew Hooton has taken you seriously David.
Didn't like your Green suggestion for a book title.
Seen on TV last night wearing a RED tie.

David is clever and I am merely earnest

or in the case of the Importance of being Don ....to lose one email may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose 10,000 looks like carelessness.

Nearly 10pm – I'm with (?) IHUG so I only just got here to read this. Fabulous. I'm chortling. No, make that guffawing.

I admit it, I looked up "euphonious" and come up with "smooth-sounding".

I meant to imply "not discordant", but this may be one of those Freudian slips in which you say one thing when you mean your mother.

Ok, I admit it, I looked up "euphonious" and come up with "smooth-sounding". Dam online dictionaries.

Well, you are Aucklanders, so maybe that's what you meant...

How about then: Lock Stock & Ten Thousand Smoking Emails?
BTW – this number can't be correct surely? I doubt I've written 10,000 emails in my entire life, and I am prolific, I find it hard to believe the Donald could have done it.

Perhaps he's counting the inward-bound viagra ones.…

If I'm clever, how do I end up living within swimming distance of a 24 hour construction site?

Don, we are in fact so euphonious that within six words of the opening, both of this morning's posts say precisely the same thing.

Will this "Stadium Stoush" know no end?

No stoush. It's complementarity: David is clever and I am merely earnest.

Hah, and I thought it was just a ruse to get in early and steal Russell's thunder this morning. I bet Russell Brown was awake all night dreaming up the magic words that would shake NZ. I can only imagine the crinkly lips when he saw the what this usurper…

Don't forget David Slack's Bullshit, Backlash and a Bunch of Other Stuff I Didn't Know About at the Time of the First Edition and Graham Reid's Postcards from Parliament: Probably Safer Than Emails ...

Better yet, wrap it all into a movie starring Clint Eastwood: "A Shitload of Emails and…

David, you're obviously between books & speeches at the moment – but how'd you mock up the covers like that?

Russell Brown

Wed, 22 Nov 2006 13:13:24 +1300

I'm thinking "The Great New Zealand Ass-Whipping," but I'm open to alternatives.

Very very good.

An unpardonable oversight. I'll knock one up for you.

I'm thinking "The Great New Zealand Ass-Whipping," but I'm open to alternatives.

Thanks, you others, for the compliments, and the cake. Juha, if you'd like a slice when it arrives, feel free to saunter across the road to join me in…

That was brilliant. Genuinely lol. I'm going to make Mr Slack a lol cake with fresh lol cream (not that fake lol creme stuff).

Now I don't believe in hell in the after life, religious sense, but more as in here and now. It would seem Mr Slack has just bought an entry ticket to such a place with his blog posting, and no, I don't think his torment will take place in the…
