I've never heard Choosin' Texas, and I've only just now heard of Ella Langley when I googled it to see whether it was a real song or a dumb internet joke.

Accidentally ordered meatballs instead of plantballs at IKEA, so I can now report from a position of authority that there is not *much* difference, but the plant-based are objectively better in every respect. They even taste more like 'real' meat.

RNZ's education correspondent should have a serious bone to pick with the headline writer for making him look like he hasn't *had* an education. 'try hide information'? 🤨

When I'm in Australia I always end up watching lots of breakfast TV, so I hear all about how the AFL season is going. Evidently the pies are on a roll.

If Daryl Hall and John Oates are the Olympics, Air Supply are the Commonwealth Games. Either this makes perfect sense or I need to go to sleep.

My wife had an altercation with a cop who threatened to give her a ticket for being two seconds late crossing the road. I love that I have a wife who will tell a dickhead cop to get fucked, and that we live in a country where said cop can get pissy at his authority being defied but can't shoot her.

WW2 was horrible, sure. But imagine how much worse it might have been if Hitler's Wehrmacht hadn't had the foresight to preemptively defend themselves against the threat of Czechoslovakia and Poland.

The sad thing is that James Van Der Beek - famously - didn't want to wait for his life to be over. If cancer had to take someone, it should have been Katie Holmes. Or Michelle Williams. Or that bloke who played Pacey.

Evidently TPUSA have their own alternative Super Bowl half-time show this year, presumably to protest the real one being too woke. So if you're keen to see proper 'All-American' artists such as Grice Greeby, Cantley Dangle, Fat Whiteguy and Baggy Daggett, they've got you covered.

Did I mention that I saw Joan Jett and Iggy Pop last night? Amazing. (Zed and Boh Runga were pretty good too.)

Joan Jett wearing a black motorcycle jacket, looking sassy enough to present a TV baking competition.

Iggy Pop, golden hair as immaculate as ever, looking gorgeous enough to marry Brad Pitt.

Yesterday a lady at work asked if I had ever played D&D. I managed to not say that I remember when Poison, Paralysis and Death Magic was its own saving throw and I know how to calculate THAC0, and instead just answered in Common (ie I just said, 'Yes, I have.')

I can believe Officer McShootyFace might have whacked his shin on the bumper and got a nasty bruise, which technically counts as 'internal bleeding'. But anything more serious than that? Fuck right off. We're not idiots.

I was just thinking about maybe rewatching Stand By Me, or This Is Spinal Tap or The Princess Bride. Decided there's no need because I've seen them all so many times already, then just got really, really sad instead.

Antivaxers are pretty hilarious. It's like if RFK announced that cancer was caused by werewolves (he might) and most of us were horrified because that's insane bullshit, but one small group were flipping out because he didn't say cancer is caused by vampires.

So let me get this straight. We invite the FBI boss to Wellington to open an office. He then says he'll use it to spy on our top export buyer, China, who is then as pissed as. Then Trump HIKES our tariff to 15% from 10%, making us less competitive vs Australia's beef/wine exports to US - still 10%.🤷‍♂️

Ozzy Osbourne visited my magic shop. He said he'd like to buy some stink bombs. How many? All of them. I had to go through drawers finding every last one. He bought 900 of them. To sign the credit card slip I handed him a shock pen, which he thought was hilarious and bought that too. RIP

I hate hard coded captions on videos. Hate them. Not because they're there but because they are usually totally wrong. I can't not read them. I have to watch videos with my hand over the screen so I don't get distracted. Utter garbage.
