Probably about time our Kiwi cousins were granted their their own thread.

New Zealand turns to Barry Manilow songs and sprinklers to flush out protesters in Wellington

I sent this to my cousin in Windsor, Ontario. She loved the story. She said they had discussed using sprinklers and hoses in Canda but decided that could kill people and wasn’t a good idea.

Yes, it could be fatal.

On the Eastern Front in WW2, the Russians had need to urgently make a stretch of road passable. So, they got a lot of German prisoners, made them lay down side by side on the road, and hosed them with water.

They quickly froze to death, and presto! hard road.

But the Barry Manilow…Is Barry the best cringe? And if so wouldn’t one song be the cringiest? And wouldn’t it just be better to go with the cringiest? And if they turned it around and took up the cringiest and owned it, wouldn’t that be funny too?

That’s the problem with Canada.

All the ice you could ever want, and near impossible to buy beer.
