Come away from the dark side Sarah...
Actually, we have to visit the Hutt this weekend, I was just saying to the wife "We'll have to be careful, we might run into family!"

For some reason Don't Cry for Me, Argentina popped into my head,
Mine too - I think it's some lyrics quoted by an earlier commenter that inspired it.
But it's a goer. particularly if the deceased has absolutely know link with argentina.
What's that hymn that goes "for those in peril on the sea"? I might like that I think, well, so long as I didn't drown.
As for last words... how about "Gosh! You again?"

I had a thought last night - hey and sorry about the morons crack guys, I'll own to stupid generalisation there - but why don't we make it so only licensed fireworks operators can buy and (theoretically) set off fireworks? You have to be licensed after all, to handle real explosives.
At least one person in each household would probably do whatever is required to get licensed, if they didn't, there'd be sure to be someone in the neighbourhood licensed, it might foster some sort of community spirit!
That way... they could start making really great fireworks - louder, bigger, flashier, better etc etc - because they're by * large going to be handled by people who know what they're doing.
besides, most of the heinous incidents we've been reading about probably stem from alcohol abuse anyway, just coupled with the seasonal availability of gunpowder.
Would it eliminate the morons? No. Would it reduce the damage & injury? Maybe. Would it be a pig to administrate? Probably.

Heh heh - sorry - but why is letting them off in the day fun?
Agree with all the rest - although hangovers are starting to outweigh the fun of getting horribly drunk these days.

I'm pretty sure this is a big part of Wayne Mapp's anti-political correctness campaign
I've always considered that his campaign is the most 'politically correct" of all & he's obfuscating by putting the "anti" in front of it.
What I don't understand is people who let fireworks off in daylight
Me either - but I think we're all agreed that we're dealing with morons.

Shoop shoop diddywop cumma cumma wangdang.
no reason.

BTW - long before that Westie movie whose name I can't recall, a bunch of us on a tramp someplace I also can't remember, experimented with primus cans on an open fire.
I'm not suggestig anyone try this at home, but holy fuck, it's impressive.

Hey, off topic - this is great - although I fear I may have to go do some work soon, and I'm getting withdrawal symptoms, I may have to head for Kiwiblog, sign on as "Darth Bilious" & call someone a moron.

I can see it now: "Wonks", in which a band of heroic Wellington policy analysts... analyse policy.
Brilliant!
This reminds me of when I was an IT pleb working for a sharebroking firm in the 80s & 90s (I started in the first week of October 1987, things sure got interesting quickly).
But a british show about a sharebroking/money market type company came on air, all sexy money market dealers & financial analysts. And one unsexy IT guy who kept shouting "I've got it! I'll do a core memory dump!" and stuff like that.
And I realised that the chances of a show focussing on sexy computer operaters & programmers was still a long way away.
Still, I expect to see one some time before a show about policy analysts.

Dying for a cigarette... heh.
