THE VIEW FROM UPON MY HIGH HORSE...

 The following things are hereby declared to be an affront to my existence. I shall drive them before me and devour the lamingtons of their women...

1) PEOPLE WHO DON'T WATCH WHERE THEY'RE FUCKING GOING

Hey jerk off. Those soft gelatinous orbs embedded in your mishapen skull are called eyes. Here's a small hint: They're a sort of visual navigational

Are you talking about that fucking annoying evangelist on Lambton Quay who's there EVERY day? The bastard gave me a papercut today >:(

[commonfreak]

He's a pretty permanent fixture. Not the scariest one I've seen. I've met some cases from several religions in the street. The really extreme ones all have the same farg gone look in their eyes.

Assessment:

Only to be approached if they've got free food.

Hmm, true - he's not the scariest but definitely the most persistent. I might not agree with what he's preaching but I guess I have to admire his dedication to annoy people every single day, rain or shine.

Thankfully I haven't seen any overly scary types in Welly. Except those Hare Krishnas on Cuba St.

I hate Hare Krishnas >:(

Hare Krishnas totally cock blocked me once. Therefore they're on my Shit List(tm). There was a particularly insane one a few years ago who used to accost me on Cuba St and wouldn't take no for an answer. She had some kind of European accent, German or Dutch I think, and big googly eyes. She'd physically corner me. Overall she gave the impression of some rave bunny who'd necked one too many disco biscuits and woken up in a temple.

that's hilarious, I know exactly who you're talking about!!

[commonfreak]

I only talked to her for her lollies. I'm a bastard.

[jentoots]

Yes, but there are several levels of barstard-ness being employed here

1. Parents/Guardians who didn't raise her to think for herself
2. Whoever brainwashed her to ply trade on cuba
3. Mr "I'm only after your lolly-bags"

It's entirely possible that she's a free thinking young woman of high intelligence, she's chosen her belief system of her own free will, and that she's perfectly happy.

Or at the least, she's ignorantly happy?

[commonfreak]

Hey kid, I'll give you a lolly if you get in my cult...

[jentoots]

do you think that's what the brethren said to don brash?

[commonfreak]

Yes, except they probably offered him corned beef, tinned peas and the use of a basin to wash his y-fronts in.
