Dunedin to Oamaru (and vice versa) is nice but yeah, the remaining 3+ hours is surely the least scenically interesting trip in all of New Zealand.

Season 3:

Idris Elba: "How does this keep happening?"
Hijacker: <waves gun> "Shut up and keep paddling!

Great headline opportunity if anyone ever leaves a newspaper job to become a gardener.

It does get called that, though.

But the more delightful one is referring to the department informally as the "subbery", which to me brings some kind of chicken-coop arrangement to mind.

And Tcheky Karyo not long ago either, I feel like these two guys basically occupy that same filmic space in my mind.

5)
A) I am fairly sure both other people on the bus assumed I was insane
B) It is important to take a second to engage your brain before yelling things on public transport
C) I am now dead of embarrassment

4) It was not in fact the driver of the bus (a man) who had made an inquiry about South Dunedin. It was the only other passenger on the bus (a woman), who, unfamiliar with the bus route, had asking where the bus went.

In response to which I had started yelling about where *I* was going.

3) The driver must be alerting me to this unusual circumstance, and wanting to know where I want to get off. I shall tell him.

"No," I yelled down the length of the bus. "I am going to Anderson's Bay. I am headed to Mitre 10 down there." About here was where I looked up from my phone.

2) Was busy staring down at my phone when I heard a voice yelling down the bus: "Are you going to South Dunedin? I need to stop around something mumble bus noises".

Ah, I thought, the bus route must be diverting round roadworks or something (there is a bit of that around in Dunedin at the mo).

Tetris styles. You delete the middle row of the skeleton and then the skull drops down to sit atop the pelvis.

Argh, you punctured my unholy animus!

I agree really, it's just fun to imagine an arrow clattering into a ribcage and uselessly rattling around.

Have often wondered how millions of D&D players have achieved anything at all by shooting a skeleton with a bow and arrow.

That will end poorly. Nature abhors a vacuum.

Apt?

We have more pressing business.
