Here's a Maori:
You stole my land!

Here's someone in a shotover boat:
I'm whizzing right at those rocks! Arrgghh!!
Oh, man, I almost missed it!
Here are some fun New Zealand facts! Collect them all -- in fact, I did, right here!
New Zealand is... approximately the size of Colorado!
New Zealand has... natural hazards! Earthquakes are common, though usually not severe; volcanic activity.
In 1840, New Zealand's chieftains... entered into a compact with Britain, the Treaty of Waitangi, in which they ceded sovereignty to Queen Victoria while retaining territorial rights.
New Zealand's native flora and fauna have been... hard-hit by invasive species!
New Zealand's THREE official languages are... English, Maori and Sign Language!
If one wanted lamb or mutton, and Safeway's was closed, where might one go? Here's a hint: New Zealand!
Calling friends, family or business associates in New Zealand? Remember to dial "64" for the country code!
Flying into New Zealand? Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride -- while the country has 121 airports, only 41 have paved runways!
Finally, if one had an amphetamine dependency, and one needed to "fix", one could do worse than heading off to... New Zealand!

Hey kids, look! Lamont discovered Wikipedia!
You spelled New Zealand wrong...the proper spelling is A-U-S-T-R-A-L-I-A

He was asking for it just by the way he was dressed.
Love the last line of that story:
>>>Police prosecutor Sergeant Chris Stringer told the court alcohol played a large role in Cradock's life.<<<
Gee, do ya think?
Discovering Wikipedia was easy... it was right there, under the sandwiches.
Man, those muffulettas are big!

Okay, it really IS New Zealand Day, 'cause I just read that Crowded House is doing a US mini tour this spring, with two Boston dates. Yippee!
::puts on "Something So Strong," does happy dance::
G'day Mate!
What?
Oh.
::hand-flutter::
In the silent, misty watches of the night when secrets roam the earth uncloaked and dreams rain down like misers' stolen coins (HUH? Bear with me), I tear free of coils of fevered dread, sit bolt up in bed, and howl the words that haunt my very soul:
WHAT THE HELL EVER HAPPENED TO OLD ZEALAND?
It's now Constantinople.
No, wait. That's not right....
Now Lois,
"That's nobody's business but the Turks". You just go ahead and stay right out of it.
Istanbul and Constantinople, no you can't go back to Constantinople....*dances*

(No, not the original, obviously...but hard to beat They Might Be Giants for fun, anyways.)
Oh.
My.
God.
Even I find this horrifying!

Hi Dave!
Thanks for stopping by!
We need the rest of the link so we can be horrified too.
