Can we sack Haden as a New Zealander? I'd vote for that.
Isn't NZBen our new mayor? I'm sure he would approve that move.

So cruel to have Joel McHale hosting the Emmy announcements and not give anything to Community. Dani Purdu should be up for Best Supporting Actor, at the very least.

If you're nominating Paul the Octopus for Super City Mayor ....I say give Paul the Octopus a hammer or eight and let him fix the shed
Can you guys please stop contributing to the Octopus Threat? Thanks in advance from the whole Human Race.

I am of a naturally curious bent ;-)
You're curiously bent? I know it's Friday and all, but still, won't someone think of the children?

I'm looking forward to seeing the next issue of Metro under the guidance of Simon Wilson. Things can only get better with the last issue
But without Metro, how else would we know that apparently not all lesbians look like dykes? And that some lesbians also like men? And gosh, I'm sure it's a coincidence that all the ones pictured were rather attractive.
uniquely large in size (and definitively Metro), is a bit clumsy and not ideal for shipping to Aus each month...
It's gone back to A4 size now

ASIJ... pfft. You should have gone to ISSH.
Wasn't that a boys' school? Mum always threatened that if I ever called her "Mom" she'd stick me into Catholic school, but that was never going to happen. My parents are more atheist than me!

A vaguely related story about so-called late blooming:
I was always considered smart in the NZ schooling system, so it was somewhat of a shock when I got to the American School in Japan, and firstly was told I needed to go into Fourth Grade at age 10 (when I knew from Judy Blume books that I should be in Fifth Grade) because, and I quote "all these Australians come here and think that they know what year they should go in to, then find they're too stupid for that class". A huge tantrum and some aptitude tests quickly put me into fifth grade, but a couple of months later going into sixth grade, they got their revenge and stuck me in Remedial Writing. Oh hell no! I had plenty of stickers and certificates for my story-writing, and my spelling was pretty good too! It's true that I had never diagrammed a sentence before, but I did actually know what I was doing. Three months later, they realised that and I was let out of that class. Now I make my living from my skill with words and my admirable analness when it comes to grammar. Suck it, ASIJ. You can take this ‘late’ blooming and shove it up your privileged ridiculous ass.

Eye-smiles" are supposed to be impossible to fake, unlike toothy grins.
Someone hasn't been watching their America's Next Top Model, or you'd know all about "smizing".
in fact, she watches us in the shower to make sure we're not drowning.
Lucy, have you considered that perhaps your cat is just a pervert? On an unrelated note, I think Sebastian is a homosexual because he always comes home with bitemarks on the back of his neck.
And finally,
admiring the skillful segue to doggi
A smooth transition into doggy is always appreciated.

Ah, Pete -- you've rather missed the pointed, haven't you?
Although actually Russell, you should apologise for giving me a hell of a scare. When I saw the title of this post, my first thought was that it was going to be along the lines of Damian's "No Pussy Blues" and stories about cats dying are the worst thing in the world to read because it's pretty much what I'm most terrified about in my life.

I have absolutely no doubt that it was carefully mapped in advance.
Everything I've ever read about Twin Peaks disagrees with you there. David Lynch and Mark Frost never intended to reveal the killer, it was the network who forced their hand.
