this guy and I get along like a house on fire....
I sent this link to him to an NZ Herald article on Ireland's victory over Australia at the 2011 Rugby World Cup "Rugby World Cup: Kidney has big stake in Ireland stunner"
z: Not just found in corduroy pillows…..
m: I’d have worked in the use of “pie” in that headline…
z: “Steak and Kidney 3.142” just doesn’t square up.....
m: It should. Don’t you know pie are square?
z: Not just that, but according to Pirate folklore if you go once around it adds up, to pie Arrrr.
m: Now you’re just leeding me round in circles, peg leg notwithstanding.
FYI 19 Sep (the date of this conversation) was International Talk like a Pirate Day. =)
Also, this is why workmate and I do not really talk:
Because of the Subway one-for-one offer, the following conversation ensued with workmate(wm)
wm: ok so you buying subway?
me: yes, what do you want?
wm: chicken i guess.
me: on what bread?
wm: the long one.
me: eh? what type is that? Like Italian, Honey Oat, etc. Check out the Subway website.
wm: ok. I'll have the vinaigrette.
me: *facepalm*

Smurfs.....
So there is now a remake of Smurfs (and a revival) with the upcoming Smurfs movie (in 3D!), and lots of people are reliving their childhood and/or introducing the joy of little blue men (not to be confused with the wee free men of the Discworld) to their offspring or the nearest kid they can find. =)
My own memories of the smurfs are similarly childhoodish, and can recall setting the VCR to record these shows so that i could watch it, and then rewatch it over and over again. In fact, it was through the Smurfs that i discovered the joys of remixes. One of my first tapes was the Smurfs Christmas Party, which you can listen to sample tracks here. I marvelled at how funky the remade Christmas carols sounded and wanted to experiment for myself, as up to that point in time, I had been playing music strictly to score (score is king!). Like a Terry Pratchett novel, it opened my eyes to the possibility of existing stuff done or viewed in a new way, and how to share this exciting variant mutant hybrid with other people. So began my musical journey into expressing myself, although it can be viewed as starting steps into the world of jazz. LOL
