Yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaahhhhhhhh.

Cheers Donut for the proof that NZ truly is one of God's own private heavens. Not to say that other lands arn't God's own private heavens as well. But I gotta say I'm still in love with this one.

Did anyone actually read the article?

They used the term ?Axis of Evil? because they wanted to get people?s attention ? and it seems to have worked. Because they used this hook they had to pick three countries. The US is the obvious one to include but the others could have been any other industrialised countries.

You're right Donut. I didn't read the article My posts were as usual, reactionary [img]smile.gif[/img]

You is clever clever fox.
We is dumb dumb stupid dawg.

Jesus i can't believe I just typed that. So, why don't I just delete it then before I click the 'add reply' button?? Well that would just make entirely too much sense... jeeze, some people...

Well I know why they are picking on those countries Donut - it's all a misprint - they are really after the Axis of Upheaval, which as we all now is Davros (Australia), Donut (Great Brittttttian), and LoA (USA). . We're all wanted men - must have been all those studly pics of us that have been posted at Stealthys [img]tongue.gif[/img] .

I don't mind them declaring us an Axis of Evil so much as I wish they could be a bit original [img]smile.gif[/img]
BWAAAAAAHHHHHAAAAAAHHHHHAAAAAHHHHHAAAAAHHHHAAAAAHH HHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

I think I hurt myself from over-zealous laughter. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Erm...do you think that 'Friends of the Earth' is planning on invading any time soon? I suppose we'd better get ready for em.

Don't get your knickers in a twist, guys. The "Friends of the Earth" in the USA hate us as well, along with every other industrialized nation.
