It’s so funny to me that Tara can basically end up as your shitty mother in law

Me seeing people on twitter talking about morally grey characters like they're completely irredeemable and makes them abusive rapists as a result even though the bad actions they've done is only comparable to a Wile E. Coyote cartoon skit but gorier:

Things I’m learning about Mr. Z and Owens from their conversations as we pull into a gas station

The car we’re in is stolen???

we are going to steal a car??

They are weirdly eager to teach me how to steal a car (Apparently knowing how to hot wire a car and actually stealing one are very different. Mr. Owens was incredibly insistent on this.)

Mr. Owens has a safe house with a bunch of weapons in it but not a single burner phone—this was a cause for a heated argument.

None of us have any identification.

It annoys Z when I call him Mr. Z

Z can forge identification papers.

Owens likes jaffas

Z hates the song HOTTOGO but can’t stop singing it.

Mr. Z has bad candy opinions

Any Footrot Flats fans out there?

Click for better quality!

I always loved this comic and these two were one of my first otps (Pongo had a very obvious crush on Rangi, at least from what I understood.)

Your friendly periodic reminder that, if you live in the US, you don't need to order Worst Journey from the UK, you can get it direct from Silver Sprocket!

And, while I'm at it, Kiwis can get it from the Antarctic Heritage Trust, and in so doing, support conservation of the historic sites and promulgation of Antarctic historical knowledge.

And Germans can get it extra large and IN GERMAN from any bookshop, but here's a link to Dussmann as an example.

If you live in none of these places, you can choose from any of the options on the constantly-updated "Where To Get It" page of worstjourney.com

Salute the Brave: Sgt James Ward VC RNZAF. Climbed out on the wing of his Wellington Bomber and put out an engine fire after being attacked by enemy fighters, saving the aircraft and all the crew. Sadly he was killed-in-action only a few months later. A very brave man. Sgt Ward is depicted earlier in my blog in a Warlord comic for the same amazing feat! (FTP)

X-Men Origins: Wolverine BROKE THE LAW while filming! 🧨💥

the concept of TF2 being in the half-life/portal universe is actually a fantastic idea, because nobody will be able to explain how Russell, being kiwi, escapes an underwater New Zealand as a small child.

Feels like our racist government is just re-hashing "all lives matter"

Pages from my New Zealand travelogue, including my voyage on a tall ship, and volunteering on an open sanctuary island

Hey, everyone!

Since it's still New Zealand Comedy Month on my website (it's winding down quickly though!), I wanted to share with you all my latest Kiwi humor post: My favorite comedian cameos on Flight of the Conchords.

I've listed many well-known comics with memorable spots on the HBO show as well as a "where are they now" section about the series regulars.

I hope you enjoy the article, and please let me know if I have missed any meaningful cameos (Note: I only focused on stand-up comics, so Art Garfunkel and Daryl Hall did not apply. Sorry!).

I also have created a complete list page for all of my recent posts about Kiwi comedy.

Hope you have a spooky week before Halloween, and here's an appropriate poem for this time of year courtesy of Bo Burnham:

Mid-October

with leaves spilled like colored pencil shavings.

The streets dicing our town into neat, unfair portions.

And me...eatin' that pussy, baby

[heartofalifer]
