Disneyland Superthread

[Axver]

All right, I'm off. I've gotta wake up early tomorrow to finish off a document study, then hopefully begin my 1000 word essay.

Man, my life is busy, but I guess it's better than being bored.

You poor bastard. I'll take being bored.

Have a good one!

nite nite maj!

 

[The Sad Punk]

Have a good one, Maj - and good luck!

I never turned the dictionary on because I trust my own spelling better than some computer. Occasional typos are a small price to pay for not being told to use "-ize".

Yeah, the only times I regularly make spelling mistakes, the in-built dictionary doesn't even recognise the word I'm after. But I don't take the -ize thing quite so, patriotically? as you do. I defend the ou often, though. Though with the butchering of the English language today, I think a wrongly placed 'ize' is the least of our problems!

I believe the Oxford English Dictionary in about 1993 or so decided that -ize is as equally acceptable as -ise. I call heresy. Fortunately, New Zealand English has refused to adopt -ize as equal with -ise and my New Zealand edition of the Oxford English Dictionary warns against it as an Americanism!

I've always been passionate about the language. Well, since I was six. I did badly on a spelling test and was determined to never spell a word wrong again. I was horrified when I discovered American spelling. "AOLer speak" makes me nauseous.

 

[Axver]

OK, I need to be up in 7-7.5 hours, so I'm out. Have a good one and kill off this thread, folks. Please, go somewhere funny next time. Te Puke, New Zealand or whatever.

 

[phanan]

Loved the pictures and commentary from earlier, Ax.

I have to visit there someday.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Ah, it's good to hear of a youngster gaining an early scepticism of Americanism in Australia and NZ, pre Howard government no less.

I'm out too. Hopefully those over the Pacific can kick this thread along soonafter.

Well that's gotta be exciting for you. In the meantime, this is what a baby would look like with Daniel Day-Lewis' mustache from Gangs of New York:

I hope Pedokiss doesn't get too excited.

[KhanadaRhodes]

That child only killed one man worth remembering.

Crap location


I think we might start doing Australian and New Zealand theme parks and stadiums and we'll see how you like it

 

[Axver]

Wow, you guys went nowhere while I was asleep.

We could totally do a tour of insignificant parks from my hometown. Weka Park, Matthews Park, MacLean Park, Queen Elizabeth Park, that park behind my childhood home that had no name ...

It'd be better than Dusniylund.

The Millhouse Reserve and Croquet Club Superthread


It's just down the road.

 

[Axver]

So I'm going to just have to keep on picspamming? Phanan at least liked the photos.

So here's one of Kapiti Island from Raumati Beach with the Wharemauku Stream in the foreground.

Yeah, let's go there next.

We can make van Houten jokes.

 

[Axver]

Alright, here's something from the South Island - the rusting hulk of the Janie Seddon off Motueka, looking across Tasman Bay towards the Nelson/Richmond area.

 

[coolian2]

The reserve has American Football goalposts too. No fucking idea why, i never see an American Football team there.

For those of you wondering where the fuck all my photos bar the last one were taken, here's a handy location map!

Something wrong with the boat?
