An Open Letter to the Penquins of the World
|
|
Dear penguins of the world,
Greetings, little friends. Just
writing to give you big ups for being so rad. You and Morgan Freeman go
together like bread and tomato sauce. I like your snazzy tuxedo jackets
and the marshmallowy way you slide on your stomachs. In short,
penguins, I think you're the bee's knees, the hot tamale, and other
outdated terms of endearment.
Speaking of hot, friends, I've
heard a little rumou | ...

| Music Issue 3 | The Return of Killer Music
I'm not sure when it happened, but it seems musical guilty pleasures have suddenly become okay to scream from the rooftops.
Quite frankly, I am not happy about it. It's not that I have a problem with someone liking music which lacks a ten point review from Pitchfork or a placement on the Grey's Anatomy soundtrack. By all means, we should all be free to listen to whatever indes

| Culture Stock | A Look at Germany
Germany has always held a certain enigma for me, as for many New Zealanders, contriving thoughts of Aryan wars and screaming little moustached men. My late Grandfather once growled at me: “those Germans are bastard’s son, not to be trusted”. My sombre view of Germany was fuelled by my one-legged (an ode to German anti-aircraft guns) Grandfather’s stance, and my altruistic ...

| Living The Dream | Living The Dream
Several nights ago I was walking down Queen St on my way home from my job as a late night baker. A slow chill ran up my spine as I slowly became aware of something following me. Without bothering to turn around, I instinctively knew it was the giant frog I had short changed earlier that night and that he had come for a piece of my pie. I started running.
