I’ve searched this site and I can’t find an explanation for why there is so much marshmallow in everything. Please explain.
Oh and while you’re solving life’s mysteries, pray tell, is there ANYTHING the All Blacks won’t advertise?
I find it hilarious that Kiwis just don’t understand how shit all Kiwiana is
Very nice work Selwyn.
My suggestion is “Hearing ourselves mentioned in offshore television and/or film productions”. Rarely have I seen the kind of euphoric excitement on the faces of compatriots than when they are explaining the last time they heard New Zealand referenced in a big budget Hollywood film.
Thank you kindly Sir,
I feel like I may have touched on the topic, possibly in ‘Putting ourselves on the map’ – but it’s worth closer examination.
My all time favorite was when the air steward girlfriends on Perfect Strangers learned they would be flying to ‘Noo Zeeland’. I nearly wet myself. But then, I was only 8 years old.
Ah yes, very good.
There is noting quite like that shared glance (and accompanying huge grin) across the living room as and your flatmates all simultaneously think “holy shit, did they just say ‘New Zealand’ on CSI:New York?!”
I would like some comments on New Zealand music month.
You my friend are a funny, funny, man.
Thanks for the laughs!
Mr Nogood, this is quite possibly the best and funniest website on the internet, although I haven’t looked at all other websites on the internet so I can’t say for sure. So far it has delayed my current deadline at work by two days (and counting – I haven’t got through all the articles yet). Lucky I work for the (Australian) government, where deadlines don’t matter anyway.
So, how about an article on Hamilton – aka “City of Nothing”, aka “South Auckland”, aka “Mexico”? Since there’s nothing there and nothing ever happens there, this could be your greatest challenge: use your witty banter to raise this city from the ashes of its own non-existence – or obliterate it altogether; your choice.
Why thank you sir. I am highly susceptible to compliment.
Hamilton. What a topic. Where does one start? Begin with the industrial wastelands surrounding it, then gradually, and painfully, work your way in, I suppose.
Apparently, when Hamilton made the newspapers because the South African rugby team, deciding it was too boring, refused to train there, Palmerston North became upset. They felt the title to New Zealand’s (and perhaps the world’s) dullest city, as awarded by John Cleese, belonged rightfully to them.
Sad.
I always thought Hamilton was “HamilTRON:City of the Future” or did they fail to legally rename it?
This site is hilarious. It pretty much covers off every thought I have ever had about this fabulous country and it’s ‘quirks’. One addition I have though is the incessant need to call every NZ sports team something, why can’t it just be the New Zealand Cricket team (Black Caps)? That’s possibly ok but what about ice hockey (Ice Blacks really?! Come on!!.
Rant over.
Thanks for the comments and the suggestions, Charlotte.
Actually, you raise a very good point. Worth working into something.
Perhaps it’s something to do with identifying ourselves so closely with the colour black. But I agree with you that it often borders on the ridiculous, even school-yard, ie;
The badminton team = ‘The Black Cocks”
basket ball team = ‘the black balls” (maybe it was the lawn bowling team, or perhaps i just imagined it..)
As suggested.. thanks for the idea. S
