Rugby Sevens (and one for the ladies)

[JNL]

I spent the weekend at the New Zealand International Rugby Sevens Tournament. I had the most fantastic fun time. A number of international teams play a modified version of rugby, with only 7 players a side and games 7 minutes each half. However, while the rugby is great, most people go for the crowd entertainment. People go in groups and dress in costume. There were cheerleaders, firefighters, gospel singers, CHIPS guys, Bob the Builder, scouts, KISS, anything and everything! My group went as doctors and nurses.

Oh did I mention there is lots of beer consumed. And we started each day with a champagne brunch. About 40,000 people went.

But the highlight of the final day, after NZ won the final against Fiji, was when the NZ team took their shirts off and performed the haka, right in front of where I was sitting!! Almost too much excitement for me :-D

 

[Chet]

Those Dutch women sure are butch.

If that's the sort of thing you women are interested in, maybe we should start a "Men of Cyburbia" calendar or something. B-)

Sounds good to me

BTW, I actually prefer that my men are not as toned/big muscles as the rugby guys in the picture. I am realistic :-D

If you want to do a Women of Cyburbia calendar, I have pictures of me in the outfit I wore to the sevens...





on second thoughts, not sharing them!

Eye candy is so yummy!!

Aww.. cmon'! Don't leave us hangin' there!

I first saw the picture, and thought the rugby team simultaneously took off their shirts, as if to prepare for a fight. They certainly look that way, witht he pose they're in.

I'm also reminded of something else. Badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger ...

That's the idea of the haka, to look intimidating to your opponents. Try and scare them before taking them on. But I'm sure you know that Dan. In this case though, they reinterpreted it as a celebration haka!

Badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger ...

What on earth? Is there anything to it apart from dancing badgers, snakes and mushrooms??

While I can't speak for the other MOC Trail Nazi, I suggest any calendar featuring me would not be categorised as eye candy but rather eye pudding, or hamburger, or eye potatoe, or ......... you get the drift.

Well that puts me out of the running... thanks alot. :-(

I will do a calender if you do.... ;-)

 

[Budgie]

Hey, wasn't there a school district in Washington State that is selling a calendar of the School Board in the buff as a fund raiser. I'd pose for a Cyburbia calendar. Hell, I'll do some snow angles in my shorts of course.

 

[Rumpy Tunanator]

Where do I get one of these calenders 8-! ? Do I have to go to New Zealand to get one?

Maybe someday, someday maybe....I'll have enough money to travel to Australia and
New Zealand.

 

[JNL]

This is some of us outside the stadium with a friendly policeman. Picture quality not good because it was taken with a PXT-capable cell phone. I am second from right.

 

[Cardinal]

As Buster Poindexter used to say, Hot, Hot, Hot!

;-)

 

[michaelskis]

I am second from right.

Wow... even though the picture is not good quality, your beautiful.

 

[JNL]

Gee thanks! :-$ You have made my day.

 

[JNL]

Eek! There were quite a few photos taken and shared amongst the group... and I just heard they are doing the rounds on the internet! 8-!

 

[Michele Zone]

Yeah, why are you belly-aching about The Local Yokel who is divorced and has a girlfriend when there are intelligent, elligible, unattached men on Cyburbia who would consider marrying a "Russian Mail Order Bride" and who think you are Hot, Hot, Hot or who would consider a vacation in New Zealand if they weren't in the midst of moving to their new job? Has Mr. Local Yokel suggested he would consider traveling to the other side of the planet to spend a week in your company with no commitment whatsoever from you for anything at all except maybe "dinner"? I've seen pics of Donk. He is young, slim, athletic and if you taught him how to dress all your girlfriends would be green with envy. (Remember: if he dresses too snazzy, he may be gay. So don't ever overlook some guy who isn't GQ. He may just be color blind or something.)

 

[Rumpy Tunanator]

Are you wearing a nurses uniform there? If so, I'd say something here that I'll leave to your discretion, smokin!

 

[JNL]

Are you wearing a nurses uniform there?

Yup, we all are but you can't see the red crosses in the photo. We all have our hair in plaits too, latex gloves sticking out of pockets, and I'm wearing a stethoscope

 

[Rumpy Tunanator]

No problem with the pic, I can see you clearly from the the Rugby pic you posted a while back

 

[JNL]

With the Welsh team? That pic isn't up any more. Here's a pic so you can actually see what I look like under my sunglasses. This was for another dress-up party.

 

[JNA]

and you second photo :-0

 

[Rumpy Tunanator]

And you know I complimented you on the picture then.....

New Zealand huh, I've been thinking of going down there more because of you now :-$

I've always wanted to see Wellington, can I crash at your place, or at reasonable hotel nearby (I need tourist info as well as guidance)?

 

[SkeLeton]

Hey Rumpy, come down here and help me build a cuban style boat to cross the "pond", afterall she's just across of me...

 

[JNA]

build a cuban style boat

? Which year and model car are you going to try this in ? ;-)

 

[Rumpy Tunanator]

Hey Rumpy, come down here and help me build a cuban style boat to cross the "pond", afterall she's just across of me...

Thanks to you SkeL, my spaghettiOs are on the floor :-D. I'm already planning my super cruiser boat to take me to the open seas, and beyond to a place I can't get into at the moment.....But already have in past threads...

 

[JNL]

Rumpy, SkeL, donk, and anyone else who wants to visit my wonderful city, you're all welcome to visit... and love to see you turn up in a cuban style boat! :-D

Rumpy there are lots of good backpackers in Wellington and a really cool new one (link)

Must not make crass comment.....

 

[michaelskis]

JNL It is a shame that you don't live in the the Mid West... or the US for that matter. But then again the way my women problems are going... *see other post*

 

[Dan]

JNL It is a shame that you don't live in the the Mid West... or the US for that matter.

JNL's a sweetie. I wonder if I can cash in on some alleged family heritage and get a free trip to that part of the world ...

 

[JNL]

We could have a race... and make a reality TV show out of it: Make your own craft and race to New Zealand! :-D Hurry guys, I think SkeL's got a head start on his cuban style craft. And Rumpy is planning his super cruiser. But Rem is closer...

First one here gets to take me out to dinner and everyone who makes it gets a tour around New Zealand. Watch out for sharks near Australia.

 

[JNL]

Mustn't forget the Women of Cyburbia... if you get here first, I'll hook you up on a date with an All Black rugby player

 

[donk]

..can't help my self

Are you and your friends available for a sponge bath?

 

[JNL]

..can't help my self

ROTFLMAO... not sure about that one :-D

 

[Rumpy Tunanator]

Whoa, 20 bucks for a 1 night stay, can you loan me a cardboard box Cool link, if my boat can make it there, I think I'll crash there. Bar in a hostel? Now there was a great mind at work!

 

[JNL]

Whoa, 20 bucks for a 1 night stay, can you loan me a cardboard box

And NZ$20 is only 13.9766 USD!!

Um, what do you want the box for?

 

[Rumpy Tunanator]

Thats pretty cheap. I was going to sleep in the box, but now I think I'll just keep my
weapons of mass destruction in it

 

[Michele Zone]

[more silliness]Yes, don't forget us gals. If you marry one of these loozerz...er, fine young men, it would be appropriate to invite me to be the "maid of honor" for hooking you up and saving you from The Local Yokel. I will also take you up on the date with a rugby player, as I have always preferred athletic men (if they have a Brane to go with it), assuming I am not already re-married by the time you Set The Date. [/more silliness]

 

[Rem]

But Rem is closer...

First one here gets to take me out to dinner

And I know a great Indian restaurant about one block back from Te Papa.

 

[JNL]

Shall I make reservations?

About one block from Te Papa actually takes in at least 5 Indian restaurants so you'll need to let me know which one

 

[Rem]

No reservations until some of the jobs i told you about are put to bed.

The one I am thinking about is due south (I think), it has a proper brick tandoor and newspaper clippings of articles saying how good it is in the window. There is one of those Asian Noodle restaurants with lino floors and kitchen style tables for diners a couple of doors away.

 

[JNL]

Most likely 'Great India' then. I haven't been to that one.

 

[JNL]

Did I ever mention that I live on Tasman Street??

 

[Michele Zone]

Did I ever mention that I live on Tasman Street??

[pure BS]Oh, well, then it is clearly destiny and Dan should put up a new fund-raising notice and all of Cyburbia can contribute to the 'plane tickets to the girl of my dreams' Fund.[/pure BS]
