Mocha left, flat white right.

American exile she's kinda new here.

Pictured- the ultimate New Zealand drink.

Adding unholy pineapple to something? CHECK.

Spelling espresso with an 'x'? DOUBLE-CHECK.

Not even giving us the sweet, sweet release of alcohol to let us forget this abomination? DISCOUNT DOUBLE ZEALAND!!!!

They're getting creative here. Had a beer cocktail for my birthday last year.

Sometimes they screw it up though eg lammington flavoured potato chips.

If it involves booze and sweetness someone here has tried it eg alcoholic rtd energy drinks back in the 90's.

Don't need to go to a hipster burger joint here. Any competent cafe/bar can do something like this.



Saturday morning here I may be at a bar (9:45am).

The best/worst mix is the alcohol and caffeine.

You keep getting more drunk and MORE ENERGETIC. ARGHHHHH!!!!!!

Well the ultimate NZ drink is a nasty swell (Buds better) and lots of it traditionally. These days some sort of fruity bitter IPA. I like a hazy APA myself

My cousins like drinking Colorado bulldogs with diet coke and whole milk.

My taste buds aren't patriotic.


We don't do a decent generic lager at a generic price.

Imported stuff though is similar in price to our swill. Not buying Russian beer now. German. If I could find it reliably I would go for Lithuanian.

So a flightless kiwi walks into a bar and orders 12 martinis ....

Spoiler

What, are you waiting for a punchline? This isn't funny.... that kiwi needs help.

I didn't know where else to put this, so I'll put it here.

I was catching up on Star Trek Discovery last night, and something was bugging me about one of the minor recurring characters (that I love). Really bugging me.

Like ... I knew this actor. Completely knew who it was. But I couldn't place them. It was KILLING ME. So I finally looked it up.

It's David friggin' Cronenberg. As soon as I saw it, everything clicked. Because I love and know Cronenberg. But because I wasn't expecting him in the show, I absolutely couldn't place him. It was a total brain freeze. He was out of context for me. So ... yeah, wow.

What's the difference between NZ and a pottle of yoghurt? The yoghurt has more culture.

High culture here is not vomiting on someone in front of you at a rugby game.

Similar, but more local one hit me last night. I realized that I had never watched "Wolf Cop" or the sequel, "Another Wolf Cop." Finally got around to it last night. Being a Canadian indie production, funded in part on Indiegogo, I expected Canadian music. Sure enough they used Gowan's "Moonlight Desires" in the first movie and "Strange Animal" in the second. Fine. Expected. What I didn't expect was Gowan, himself, making a speaking cameo in the second movie.
