The next imperialist adventure for the USA...

[seawasp]

... has already been planned out by the Australians.

This is a capital idea, with minimal risk and immense potential upsides, if we only strike NOW!

I nearly spit up my Izzy's at the 3/4 mark. Heh that is a fun one. Always need a good holiday.

Lesser known fact: New Zealand has already conquered Australia. They just don't know it yet. We like to let them have their little delusions from time to time, you know - to keep them happy.

But consider this: Small island nation with disproportionate political power. Lots of volcanic cones. Good location for orbital rocket launches. Staunch anti-nuclear ship policy.

If you've made the connection with your standard supervillian setup, give yourself a gold star. Our Legion of Doom...em...'associates'...will be over to collect it shortly.

Why do you think I want to take possession of it?

Ha!

Have you seen our SAS?

I fully expect that if anyone tries to invade us, Willie Apiata will meet them at a conveniently placed blocking point with 300 SAS, scream out "THIS IS KIWILAND" and boot them into a pit.

I'm sleeping fine.

(Yes, I know we don't _have_ 300 SAS, but you don't have Xerxes, so I'm sure it will all balance out. :)

I'd've expected a youtube of the All Blacks doing their haka.

Re: Ha!

[tamahori]

The All Blacks don't carry assault rifles as part of their standard gear. :)

Besides, I'm one of those weird New Zealand people that finds rugby bores me to tears.

Isn't that, like, ILLEGAL or something there?

Not Technically

[tamahori]

I think that's mainly because the law-makers haven't realised there is such a person as "Not Interested in Rugby", so far outside their concept, that they don't think to make laws about it. :)

We just avoid letting them catch on, though the worry is someday that they'll start setting up checkpoints where they interrogate you to know if you can name any member of the current team or something.

Your Sheep Assault Service? Yes, I thought the Aussies might be forgetting that millions of sheep can be turned into weapons very quickly (as shown in that fine documentary "Black Sheep") through the application of minimal biotechnology.

Fortunately, we have an entire industry dedicated to keeping the people, er, sheep under control; a few giant flatscreen TVs and showings of "As the Wool Turns" should keep us safe.

We Have Backup Plans

[tamahori]

If the Sheep Assault Service doesn't stop you, we'll have to resort to bio-weapons. Yes, we'll unleash the Marmite!

The ... erm, "unique" taste will baffle any attempts to invade this country. Or maybe just the fact that people willingly eat it.

-- Brett, who again, doesn't like that either. :) He's obviously not a very good Kiwi.
