Who knows what John is fishin' for - guess we'll have to wait a while to
hear what he caught!
meantime the Assie(!!)/NZ battle rages and the Zookeeper throws this into
the fray-
Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for seven days.
Eventually, Michael the archangel found him.
He inquired of God, "where were you?".
God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through
the clouds; "look son, look what I'm after making".
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "what is it?"
God replied, "it's a planet and I'm after putting LIFE on it.
I've named it Earth and there's going to be a balance between everything on
it. For example, there's North America and South America. North America is
going to be rich and South America is going to be poor, and the narrow bit
joining them -
that's going to be a hot spot. Now look over here. I've put a continent of
white people in the north and another one of black people in the south."
The archangel then said, "and what's that long white line there?".
And God said "ahhh that's New Zealand the 'land of the long white cloud' and
that's a very special place. That's going to be the most glorious spot on
earth; Beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers, streams, and an exquisite
coast-line.
These people here are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous and
they're going to be found travelling the world. They'll be extremely
sociable, hard working and high achieving. And I'm going to give them this
superhuman, undefeatable rugby team which will be blessed with the most
talented, and charismatic specimens on the planet, and will be admired and
feared by all who come across them."
Michael the Archangel gasped in wonder and admiration but then seeming
startled proclaimed: "Hold on a second, what about the BALANCE, you said
they're was going to be a balance..."
God replied wisely. "Wait until you see the neighbours I'm going to give
them."



Looking forward to next spring when I can start to grow my monster.

Tony (the zookeeper)
