Maybe a Cloudy Bay sauv blanc.

The date Hōne Heke gifted the flagstaff to James Busby should be Thanksgiving day in New Zealand.

The first time he chopped it down after the Union Jack replaced the United Tribes flag on the flagstaff should be No Thanksgiving day.

What I really want to know is, what do Kiwis have for Thanksgiving dinner?

Always a hangi.

And, predictably, he goes right for the low hangi fruit.

Don’t you mean your didgeridoo?

Reminds me of the Dylan lyrics…

“And Rosemary on the gallows, she didn’t even blink
The hangi judge was sober, he hadn’t had a drink”

I wonder how many times a thread can move between temp and not temp…

Sounds like the Swiss Miss talking. She’s a cruel mistress…

I chased it with a bottle of coke. The coke actually helped a lot.

Time for the annual Canada joke:
American: Why do you Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving in October?
Canadian: So we can thank God for giving us such a wonderful country to live in, and still get to Florida before it starts to snow.

But really? It’s like all Chinese people celebrate CNY and Moon Festival. All (well, almost all) westerners celebrate Christmas, so, getting most of their info from American media, they assume it’s the same.
Hey, my cousins from Atlanta wondered why nobody would take their renminbi here- it’s part of China, yeah?- right in the name.

Very misleading headline by the NYT. Shocking.
