  • Hey, I recognize the picture from the quidnunc's GI Joe sweater thread! Cool.
  • I've been looking, but can't find it in the online version of the Herald. But I did find out that there is a New Zealand short film up for an Oscar, and George Bush has been awarded a Razzie as worst actor for his protrayel of a U.S. President in Farenheit 911. It's very cool, but shouldn't they credit the photographer, rather than the link?
  • We're minor celebrities! Ok, so not really so much we. Anyway, that's cool. I'm now curious if it will cause a increase in users, perhaps?
  • Mad Props!
  • Indeed!
  • Holy crap! I'm so going out to buy this right the hell now!
  • OOO OOO AAA AAA!
  • I haven't bought it yet, but I did look at the "Digital replica" (link bottom right, you have to register and verify by email, ugh). All it is, literally, is the photo with the caption "CHUNKY: Stylish hand-knit sweaters for GI Joe and his 1:6 scale friends. (Source: monkeyfilter.com)" That's it. Still pretty cool, though. And, uh, hello to Ana Samways, who would appear to be our intrepid journalist in this particular case.
  • Outstanding.
  • Insitting.
  • Upsquatting.
  • Downprancing.
  • Lateralfrolicking.
  • Medialmasturbating!
  • Anteriorreacharounding!
  • Interstitialmasticating!
  • I'm now curious if it will cause a increase in users, perhaps? Four new users, just today!
  • You don't suppose Ana's maiden name is Gamgee, do you? Since, you know, she's a New Zealander...and, um, the movies...okay I'll stop.
  • Just curious ... how often do new users sign up? Any statistics on busiest day, etc? posteriorprobing!
  • Probably averages around ten a day. I haven't worked it out specifically but I've kept an eye on it.
  • And, uh, hello to Ana Samways, who would appear to be our intrepid journalist in this particular case. Ana girls attack!,
  • I demand a ten million dollar finder's fee and a photograph of the rt hon helen clark NAKED.
  • Helen Clark naked? Disturbing stuff. If you get your $10000000, will you buy Skrik a pony?
  • Ana Samways sounds like a hobbit's name. So does my handle, come to think of it.
  • You mean NZ isn't populated by hobbits? I thought it was just like Lincolnshire that way.
  • I'm not a hobbit, but my son is.
  • Isn't your husband suspicious?
  • Who can resist Elijah Wood? I'm sure he'd understand.
  • I found this thread via MonkeyFilter. Metatautologically delicious!
  • Someone at gizmodo is reading our site! Also notice that the article links to bananaguard. Hmmm...
  • I'm trying really hard to pronounce "metatautoligically" five times fast.
  • I for one welcome our hobbit overlords /obvious
