Mental Note to Self - when planning a revolution it is a good idea to have a plan! Ummmm the whole scare the 'Mericans with vegemite / marmite thing has been done. And apparently [Waltzing Matilda](http://www.abc.net.au/arts/news/artsnews_935105.htm) doesn’t cut it any more. So a group haka then 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Spink \* > \*\*Palmerston North NZ represent!🙂 \*\* [Totally Irrelevant] I had a killer crush on a boy from Palmerston North when I was at Uni. He’d moved to Adelaide, South Australia to study at the Lutheran Seminary there. He had the most gorgeous blue eyes and lovely hair and all these annoying morals. Honestly I tried my best but lost him to lovely sweet girl with morals to match his. [/Totally Irrelevant] ---

Yes since we need a war plan a Haka sounds like a perfect pre-emptive strike (silly rugby twits not allowing Waltzing Maltida…but then it ain’t really that intimidating) [/Totaly Irrelevant] Kiwi blokes have morals? Sorry just having a bitter moment due to relationship ending yesterday. [/Totaly Irrelevant] ---

Re totally irrelevant - Kiwi bloke with morals was training to be a Lutheran Minister so maybe he was just an aberration. ---

Hmmm maybe start “fair suck of the sav” in order to replace 1920’s style “death ray”? ---

Yet another New Zealander here. It’s kind of neat how a board inspired by a column in a Chicago newspaper can attract so many of us antipodeans. ---

Reporting for duty. Though I do not like Tim Tams or vegemite, I do have experience with conducting a revolution 😉 and have an ingrained love of the Australian bush. Can I join in ? ---
