Expect to see less out­put at the troll­farm over the next wee while.

We will never see a Star Trek or Bat­tler­star Gal­lac­tica movie made in NZ but the next best thing is prob­a­bly this. Wha­le­oil tells me that he has sent his spare pup tent and gas stove to Welling­ton so that the big fella can keep warm while he queues for his shot at cin­e­matic glory. He has also con­fided that con­fi­dence is high due to the fact that Weta work­shops are look­ing to spend less on spe­cial effects this time.

While we will all miss read­ing the pythonesque com­ments on Kiwiblog for a while at least David’s cam­paign to help Helen Clark become our first Pres­i­dent will be delayed for a while.

The first win­ner is new boy in par­lia­ment and ex office boy for Clark…. Alfred E Hipkins.

Alfred E Hipkins

He has asked 4000 ques­tions in one go and is now whin­ing about not get­ting them answered in the required 5 days.

Head over to Tiger Mal­lards tax­payer funded van­ity blog and have a look at the com­ments. He has had his arse handed to him for being a  child­ish twat.

The Rotun­dosaur at Trol­la­sic park has also given him a fairly good fisk­ing as well.

If you are going to try and cre­ate a big beat up when the rest of us are try­ing to grow beer bel­lies and avoid mos­qui­tos you really should do it with­out mak­ing your­self look like the weird cardie wear­ing sixth for­mer and upset­ting legions of bee­hive staff who will need to com­plete this com­plete waste of time when they should be con­tem­plat­ing get­ting out of Welling­ton for a holiday.
