But I'm not rich.... or handsome... nor do I have any useful skill, or abnormally large, um, tools.

In Auckland, one candidate was said to have "rolled a hogshead of rum into the street with his own hands, and invited the electors to fall in", a strategy still employed by student union hopefuls.

One ticket to Auckland, please.

You forgot sheep-farking.
And racism.

Did the White Australia Policy extend to New Zealand as well? I'm seriously asking.

You're adorable...

You do know that NZ and Australia are different countries right?

Ho hum. Here's a list of what the founding fathers had at ONE party they threw before everyone signed the US constitution:

How do we know the founding fathers as a group drank a lot? Well, for one thing, we have records of their imbibing. In 1787, two days before they signed off on the Constitution, the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention partied at a tavern. According to the bill preserved from the evening, they drank 54 bottles of Madeira, 60 bottles of claret, eight of whiskey, 22 of porter, eight of hard cider, 12 of beer and seven bowls of alcoholic punch.

In the words of Archer, Booyaakasha!

TFA was pretty funny, actually.

Anybody else notice that early Kiwi election and voting history reads almost identically to early US election and voting history? ;)

/lyin', cheatin' and stealin' elections was the order of the day
//drunk, of course
///only white, land owning males got to vote
