Um...I think you're discussing an episode we haven't seen in Melbourne and Adelaide yet (we get it on Thursday this week), so do you mind white-fonting?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Done. Sorry, Angus.

No problems Katie, I don't expect you guys to keep up with the vagaries of Aussie TV programming!

To every idea a shelf...

Yes, sorry Angus. Got a little trigger happy with the posting!

Ooh--a terribly stereotypical question for the NZ/Australia types here:

How do you eat a kiwi?

Because TWICE now, I've run into someone where the subject came up (which is not terribly common, thus the "twice!") and they said "Oh, I don't eat kiwis very often, they're good, but they're such a pain to peel". And I goggled at them, because, well, most people I know just slice the thing in half and spoon it out...how are kiwis eaten where they originate?

(And we just started getting yellow kiwis here in the store--I can't decide if I like them more or less than the green kind)

If I only had a brain...

When they first became chic, I used to peel them with a paring knife and slice them sideways.

Nobody

You peel them to put them in salads or whatever. Unless you're me, in which case you go at them with a knife until you are left with a soggy green lump the size of a filbert.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

(Of course, if you are me, and you are terminally lazy, you eat them skin and all.)

"Oh, I don't eat kiwis very often, they're good, but they're such a pain to peel".
Meara this is very true. You have to peel a kiwi very carefully.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Moonlit, I thought she meant the bird, too...
