Well, there you have it...As Sammy Davis Jr. would say...it's kookoo, baby.

We could all go there. We’ve got Gandalf: Modwiz, and Aragorn, some hobbits: Nothng, Dreamy and Elen, at least one elf: Kathy, I like playing bad guys so I’ll be an Orc Commander...who else?

...we can all move into Nothing’s house in the shire..

Thanks for posting that. Yes I had heard of that happening at the time. Surprise surprise a buddy of Elon Musk too.
Our new immigration laws now forbid foreigners buying existing houses but they are still allowed to build new ones as far as I am aware.
Our last Prime Minister, John Key, is a complete scoundrel, his past is wrapped up as a banker, in companies such a Merril Lynch and the Bank of America. He was one of the main people involved with setting up the derivative trading on Wall St which led to the 2008 collapse. Back in 1987 he was involved with helping Andrew Krieger perform a currency attack on our dollar, which compounded the crash then. His has a history of setting people up the bomb and then flying the coop just before things fall to bits. For example, he left Wall St in early 2008, and somehow glided into office as NZ Prime Minister. At that point our nations debt was around 10billion and had been around that much for several decades. When he left last year, it was 84billion. Job Done. "John boy, we don't have New Zealand in our pockets enough, go over there and get a better sized debt going wouldya? there's a good lad".
If someone was wanting to work out how Theil got NZ citizenship, it would probably be prudent to start looking at John Key first, and then a few others who are still in that party, which is the opposition party now. These people have shown they can be bought quite easily. One in particular has used her position to appoint friends of her husband to positions of influence and she and her husband have been using similar people to help channel valuable resources to China for their own profit..
Yet we supposedly have one of the lowest cases of government corruption in the world, yeah right!

So I can’t buy my Kiwi citizen papers for $500K anymore? You guys were one of my last cheap boltholes in a non-banana republic. Besides, I don’t like bananas.

Dude, I don’t even want to compare notes on gooberment corruption...

That spot at the south western end of Lake Wanaka is one of my favourite places to pick up stones'z, they're pretty special there. Other rivers have certain sets of certain styles, but that place is like a meeting of all the different rocks from all the different rivers. Nice place, but I get a bit claustrophobic in the alps. Much prefer the north where it is warmer and the beaches are more appealing. Top of the South Island is quite nice, a bit of both worlds.. My next favourite after my home town in the shire would be the far north. I live in Auckland, where the article starts. It's an awfully crowded city imo, 1.5 million people. I despise living here.

Send us the money and I will circumvent the law.

...so the Kiwi “Dollar” trades out at 100-1 with US?

...still can’t afford it.

Don't forget to include the resident Ent, me...though I have been referred to as more of a tree stump in my time...

Actually, without giving away to much info my name translated means 'Oak' Rather fitting I think

Humm, how can she be liberal-progressive and be a Mormon?

...hey, we’ll trade you The Trumpster Fire and throw in the next two first round picks...you can have his hotels as well.

Motorized chilly bin: do you need a driver’s permit for that? If not, how can they issue a ticket?
