New Zealand Week: New Zealand’s Coat of Arms….”Onward!”

Okay, so, I know, maybe kind of a lame intro to New Zealand week, but I don’t know, there’s something kinda cool about a coat of arms, don’t you think? Anyway, with the 15 minutes of battery power I have left, I will try to explain it to you… So, on the left is a European woman. She is holding the flag of New Zealand. On the right is a Maori tribesman…holding….a weapon. He is what they call a “sinister supporter.” Doesn’t sound too good, hey? The three ships on the crest signify the importance of sea trade. The farming and agricultural [...]

This Week’s Special: New Zealand Week

Okay, seeing as how I am approaching episode 12….the last ::sob:: episode of the first season, I have been trying to find things to do to kill a little bit of time…stall, if you will, in order to make the time stretch until the second season. Truth be told, I’m not sure how much will happen in between now and the second season on this blog. That is why I bring you….(cue the triumphant bugle sounds and such)….New Zealand Week! Yes, that’s right, everything you’d ever want to know about “Land of the Kiwis” will be here all this week, and probably [...]

Song of the Day: “Robots/The Humans are Dead”

(FYI: This is the album version, not the version seen on the episode.) The distant future, the year 2000. The distant future, the year 2000. The distant future. The distant future. No more agriculture. No more war. No more racism. No more fighting, squabbling or rumbling. No more yogurt. No more difficult access ways…stairs, basically, no more stairs. The future is quite different to the present. Yes, what with there being no more stairs and all. And most importantly, no more humans. Finally, robotic beings rule the world. The humans are dead, The humans are dead. We used poisonous gasses And we poisoned their asses. The humans are dead. (Yes they are dead.) The humans are dead. (I confirm they are dead.) It [...]

Featured Website: THE INVASION OF RHYS DARBY

On FotC, it seems like Murray never really gets a break. However, in real life, he’s a great comedian, and there are websites dedicated to him. You might even say, “Rhys, you got it goin’ on!” He, according to his website, is a “Comedian and an actor….from the depths of space!” Pretty intense if I do say so myself. This is for sure a site you want to visit, especially if you’re a fan of Murray, but don’t like how he always gets the short end of the stick. I mean, on here, he’s invading, you know? There’s some great audio [...]

Podcast of the Day: Mel’s Video Blog #8

I realize that choices are harder for some people than others. I’m definitely one of those people. If you’re ever clothes shopping with me, you have my pity. It takes forever for me to pick between two surprisingly similar pink shirts, or something along those lines. Heaven forbid I’d ever have to choose between two guys that I was in love with. This said, I sympathize with Mel in her situation. In this podcast, she weighs if she’d be able to pick between Bret and Jemaine. Do we get an answer by the end of the vlog? I guess you’ll [...]

Song of the Day: “Not Crying”

So, you’re leaving? I can tell because I can see you leaving But if you’re trying to break my heart Your plan is flawed from the start You can’t break this heart, it’s liquid It melted when I met you And as you leave Don’t’ turn back to me Don’t turn around and see if I’m crying I’m not crying I’m not crying It’s just been raining on my face And if you think you see some tear tracks down my cheeks Please. Please, don’t tell my mates I’m not crying No, I’m not crying And if I am crying It’s not because of you It’s because I’m thinking about a friend of mine who you don’t know who [...]

Merch Item of the Day: Frodo

Welcome to the introspective Frodo, the non-action-hero Frodo. Welcome to “Frodo with a journal.” The good news? It’s only 2.99. The bad news? It’s not even remotely badass. Click here to buy the product. It just made me think of Bret McKenzie, the calmer and more relaxed side of Frodo. Fantasize about him by owning this figure. Sorry for the short post, but it’s Easter. So yeah, happy Easter. I’m off to see my family! Post from: Conchord Crazy
