All right.

I have a little test for anyone who wants to participate. It's a psychological test, and if you think you can't do it without Googling then please ignore this and return to previous activities. It's also a bit unpleasant. If you're still keen, read on.

Question 1: Do you recall the famous image of the Viet Cong terrorist being summarily executed during the Vietnam War?

Question 2: If you do recall that image, can you describe the main physical characteristics of the executioner?

If you can't answer this question without Googling then you're no good to me. If you want to participate, please refrain from reading other people's responses. Give me your answer and I'll tell you why I want to know.

I'm so bored today, I wish I could just slowly get blackout drunk while betting all day. Yeah, I want a Mel C night.

They are few and far between these days, I don't know of any in the lower north island.

The McDonalds Serious Lamb Burger.

...I really like the idea. I like lamb, I like lamb burgers.

But the execution is horrible. I can see what they're trying to do - take the iconic "Kiwiburger" and making it with lamb rather than beef, but the thing is that the egg, beetroot, dressings, salads all overwhelm the lamb flavour of the meat. Making it a burger that tastes mostly of beetroot, egg, lettuce and aioli with a bit of lambiness lurking around the edges.

They should do a lamb quarter pounder - just the meat, the bun, some cheese and dressings. That'll be cool.


I also found no issue with getting my lid nicely sealed on top of my cup.
