Wow they pulled it off. Can’t have been easy, Trappist beers are normally super strong (why do you think monks were always on their knees mumbling?)

Dorothy: Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore.

Toto: Obviously. We're blessing the rains down in Africa.

An absolutely sensational piece sitting on a paper bag on a wooden table. The pastry is amazing. You can’t see the filling but it was even better.

Holy shit. I think I just ate the best pie of my life: buffalo chicken and cream cheese at Salut Pies, just off Victoria St in Wellington

I play covers. It’s part of my work so in December I included Christmas songs, and I have to say most are pretty trite and meaningless.

Finding out that Lake Superior "Never gives up its dead" because it's so cold that the colonies of bacteria that decompose corpses can't survive in it so those bodies never fill up with gas and surface, all because I looked up the lyrics of a 1976 folk song, is what the internet should be more like.

When I get to the writing stage of an article, I usually ’write’ a fair chunk in my head before I sit down to type. Sort of like AI but with more walking and fresh air. The dog likes it that way
