**The Sixteenth Day of the Fifth Month of the New Millenium Plus Five**

NEW ZEALAND-ETH WE WILL DACK THEE?

New Zealand We Will Dack Thee hath been postethponed for Thee hath hearkened that its legs hath fallen off in a skirmisheth with Oz.

Due to logistical-eth closeness of the two countries, New Zealand-eth and that other Anitpodian Country Down-eth Under art always falling out and this time the kerfuffle-eth got a bit out of hand.

Remindeth Thee of Thy brethen!

As Thee understand-eth it, Oz and Kiwi wert havething of a few ales down the pub and Kiwi turneth nasty and calleth Oz an 'ugly wombat' and Oz doth take-eth offence and calleth Kiwi a 'sheep begatter'. This leadeth unto the path of evil and a mighty brawl-eth broke-eth out, fists and arms flailing hither and thither until Kiwi's legs falleth off.

Thee also understand-eth that Oz later flee-eth from the scene, although this art believeth to be-eth because the pub ran out of beer and not from-eth guilt over any wrong doing.

Oz art believeth to be-eth heading for-eth neutral ground in Japan, whereforeart they art taking refuge with a retired Sumo wrestler in Tokyo. It art expected that Oz willst return-eth later this month, however-eth, as Thee haveth it on verily good authority that they do-eth not like-eth of the sushi and the smell of Four and Twenty freshly baketh meat pies willst be-eth too much for Oz to bare.

We ne'er wanteth to do-eth Kiwi-Land anyway - it art way too-eth way out back!!

Cheereths !
