So I’m up late watching a music DVD I bought a couple weeks back and haven’t really had a chance to watch. It’s ‘One Out of the Bag’, the Split Enz reunion concert held in Melbourne last year.

This clip is the only one I could find on YouTube, featuring of one of the encore songs, complete with frisbee competition.

If you’re interested in purchasing the DVD and you’re not in NZ, there’s an Amazon link to it on the sidebar.

Kiwi is not a fruit. That small furry edible thing some misinformed people refer to as ‘kiwi’ is actually kiwifruit.

A Kiwi is a small flightless bird found only in New Zealand. It’s a protected endangered species and a national symbol.  To that end, a Kiwi is also an affectionate term given to people who come from New Zealand - much the same way Canadians are referred to as Canucks and Americans are called that word I need to learn not to call them.

So, folks ... if you’re eating kiwi, you’re either doing something illegal, or you’re a damn pervert. Mmmkay?

Thanks to YouTube (who have recently opened a New Zealand site) and the wonderful folks who steal stuff of the idiot box to throw up there, I’ll actually be able to keep up with my favourite Kiwi comedians.

Featured below is 2-time winner of the NZ Comedy Guild’s ‘Most Offensive Gag’ award, Gish. Be warned that the video contains offensive language and subject matter not suitable for the kiddies. And unless you’re family with NZ/British style humour, odds are you won’t get it.
