      How have I never noticed that these goobers don’t have arms or nothin. I can’t imagine this thing walking in any way other than a swiggity swooty approach.

      This is God’s creature right here.

      They say “LILILILILILI!” Then cut your throat with a thrown chakram that bounced off the throat of the guy beside you.

      They do speak English, but in spoken Kiwi, they convert 75% of their vowels to a short i.

          All our vowels are just “u” (or schwa as I was once told).

    There is currently chaos in my house. I played this on my phone without headphones and my dogs have absolutely lost their shit. The Miniature Pinscher, being a Miniature Pinscher, was barking and spinning and occasionally attacking his spaniel brother who just has this “WTF BRO” face of horror on. Mayhem.

    PS: He’s calmed down…after a close to ten minute freak out.

      Yep, our Iggy ran all the way out to the back yard prancing around tail up, barking at the intruder back inside the house. The other two are sitting in bed with me with a ‘wtf was that!’ expression.
