Mint!
My time in Auckland ends today, alas. I have had a beautiful few days here. I have also, amongst other things, challenged a Pacific Islander man who looks like Dave Navarro to an eating competition. This was on Saturday night when I may have been feeling a little braver than normal. He thought I was clearly deranged and kept looking at me shaking his head, saying: 'You really don't know what you're getting into. Have you seen a typical Islander guy?'
I think he was referring to something like this:
- but I have to go through with it now because I'm full of ill-advised bravado these days.
I am taking him out for duck when he's in Melbourne. So if you see me staggering around clutching at my stomach being followed by a very calm and collected guy with an accent, you'll know what's going on.
Also while I've been here, there has been some news that's had New Zealand abuzz. They've erected a new statue! It is of someone you perhaps might not expect. Would you like to guess who it is out of the following people?
Famous NZ musical geniuses the Finn Brothers!
p.s. I want to do Neil Finn so bad, and I have felt this way since I was about fifteen years old and figured out where he'd stick what he'd stick.
Comic strip Footrot Flats stars Wal and the Dog!
Weird musical theatre character Riff Raff from the Rocky Horror Show !
Hotness fictional television she-warrior Xena!
Blonde lady who doesn't do a great deal Rachel Hunter!
Hands up who here wants to see Clem Bastow rocking this pose. Oh my god.
Give up?
Okay, it's....
....
Riff Raff.
No. Shit.
You can read about it here once you have finished spitting out your cornflakes and saying: 'Those Kiwis are goddamn loco! Am I right or am I right??'
Also: BookBook has returned. All hail. And worship him as much as I do.
So reverse-stalking right now.
1044 days til the next election.
Comments
In case my legion of "fans" don't look at my latest comment in yesterdays blog, I thought I would put it here as well. I want to give you all something to get worked up about. Plus it also increases the chances of me getting abused more.
Wow, normally people have to meet me face to face before they hate me so! I have made more enemies in the last few days than I have since I last played comp cricket.
Now Big Bob, obviously you have come into the whole "the anonymous blogger is Satan personified" thing a little late. I will now clarify some things for you.
Part of my problem with the blogger community is that they talk all tough and mighty online, but don't put it into action. I want people to go out and change the world in a positive way: do a job that can help people, be involved politically, be active. These are things I do myself. Generally I do prefer a more "a more reasoned and less confrontational approach to being heard." However when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Face facts, bloggers don't exactly use a reasoned approach when attacking people online. I took a confrontational approach as this was the only way to elicit a response from you out there. When I took the reasoned approach a few weeks ago I got no response (Go to Ms Fits "Sometimes I Know just how he feels" and look for my post) I wanted to see if I could elicit some response, and preferrably reasoned ones. I did get a few of those, particularly from Jeremy, to whom I take my hat off again. I also hoped (maybe naively) that by making some of you angry, I might actually push some of you into being active.
However my "integrity" was attacked for being anonymous, for lacking courage. If I posted my identity online I would somehow become a brave knight for attacking people like Miranda Devine and John Howard online. Well my response to that was that in essence you still have a degree of anonymity (is this spelt right? Sorry I am of non-english speaking background, which I use as an excuse for being a poor speller). If you want to be courageous, do it to the persons face. This isn't something you should do to everybody, but only to those people who think they are loved by all the public to remind them that there are people at there who hate them for what they stand for. People like John and Miranda. Oh and both cases I had people come up and congratulate me on what I did. And no this isn't the only thing you should do. Be active in "a more reasoned and less confrontational " way to try and change the world.
Oh yes, thanks for the advice to "grow up". Should that be before or after I start referring to people as fucknuckles like you did?
I wait in anticipation for the next blogger attack!
Ahh... Mr Anonymous Minty Dick....
Do you have nothing better to do....
than traipse around the hallowed halls of other people's blogs looking for a bit of biff ???
Your posts, whilst amusing, are also a little tiresome, and one has to wonder what your point is, truly ??? I guess you're "getting your jollies" in some way, shape or form.......
Everyone else appears to be here solely for their own amusement and to share amusement for amusement's sake.......
If you want a bit of a biff... you might find a likely contender down at your local pub, more so than here ?? Just a suggestion.
Anyway, that's my piece.
Love and peace to all

(PS. I post anonymous simply because I don't have a blog, only a livejournal, and can't be bothered having both.)
Yessum, we're trying to concentrate on the raw fotness of Fits and listen to her tales of debauchery from NZ.
Kindly go forth and multiply rather than stand around waving your arms shouting "look at me! look at me!"
Actually, if we're true to form, we'll just be ignoring you now, since this blog is primarily for entertainment purposes not angry political debate. Have fun at Homebake and we hope you make lots of money to help the refugees. Honestly.
PS: "Minty Dick" was an in joke.
I just realised I've been living my life in completely the wrong way!
And I was certain that my blogging was going to make a difference.
*Types*
*Heals world*
Thanks for the lecture. I feel dumber for having read it.
OUCH!
OUCH!
"Minty Dick was an in joke"
Buck Fudd was that directed at me ???
*bows before the honourable Mr Fudd*
(Can I play with you guys ???????. I'm on your side :p)
My humble apologies if i have over-stepped the boundaries...
Dxxxx
Erm, I dunno what all these posts are about. I just came here to put my hand up to see Clem in that Rachel Hunter pose.
'Kay, bye.
*yawn* minty dick.
do you think ms fits called her blogsite 'reasons you will hate me' for a reason? really, you should think about another hobby. how 'bout trimming your finger nails with a pencil sharpener? that'd bring us all a bit of pleasure.
if we ignore him will he go away?
let's talk about things we can't change in the world, like... ha! kiwi's are funny when they talk.

Good call Sugar. Those zany kiwis.
Thit wuz choice, Tum.
Yis et wuz, Phul.
Hilarity!
I may be mistaken Anonymous but I thought Ms Fits' blog for today was about the New Zealanders putting up a statue of a Rocky Horror character. Your comments seem misplaced. Look at the entry and make a comment if you desire, if I had wanted to read your thoughts I'd go to your blog.
On second thoughts I’m not mistaken.
Minty Dick
Only if you take the photos, Ms Fits...
Dxxxx - "Minty Dick" was not aimed at you at all. It was aimed at annoying, long-winded Homebake guy. The in joke is that, the day after the federal election a right wing troll popped up here whom Ms Fits referred to as a "minty twat". We ran with it. Read this exchange from the day after the federal election.
Um, yeah what Jonas said. Fits isn't the best choice to take the pictures of you Clem. I imagine she'd be giving you a Hello Kitty Tongue Bath before she got halfway through the first roll of film. In fact, I'm imagining it right now. Hmmmm...
Are any of you guys in Melbourne on Thursday night and coming to Daily Flute's blogging meet-up?

Thursday 2nd December 6:30-7pm
Nice to know that one is still thought about from time to time.
Buck Fudd,
Oh yes, I remember the post electoral disaster exchanges with fondness (I have been lurking in the shadows a little while!).
Yay. I feel vindicated that your comment wasn't directed at me.
I heart youse all.
(Except Minty Dick)
Dxxxx
Back to the statue.
The guy who played Riff Raff in the movie, actually wrote The Rocky Horror Show.
