How have I never noticed that these goobers donā€™t have arms or nothin. I canā€™t imagine this thing walking in any way other than a swiggity swooty approach.

This is Godā€™s creature right here.

They say ā€œLILILILILILI!ā€ Then cut your throat with a thrown chakram that bounced off the throat of the guy beside you.

They do speak English, but in spoken Kiwi, they convert 75% of their vowels to a short i.

All our vowels are just ā€œuā€ (or schwa as I was once told).

  • Nuw Zulund
  • Fush und chups
  • Uh nu, uā€™m buchd, uā€™m buchd us.

My favorite author is a kiwi who writes In English and teaches it, but for all I know she sounds like the video

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If itā€™s too interesting, it doesnā€™t belong. If itā€™s not interesting, it doesnā€™t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahhā€¦ what do we know?

Just post some stuff and donā€™t spam.
