Stevie Wonder Down Under

I'm Going Out & I Maybe Some Time

I've reached Christchurch, which is a bit of a sleepy little town on the New Zealand South Island. After discovering that it has been the base for many Antarctic missions, I decided it was the kind of place that a that the intrepid Wonder should check out. When I got there I was greeted by some blokes who were dressed up like eskimos. I realised that I needed some more clothes, so I gave my mate Sir Edmond Hillary a quick tinkle on the blower. He said he'd get his wife to knock me up a special Wonder Suit to keep me nice and warm in the permafrost.


The suit eventually arrived and they even gave me a suitable vehicle for a blast over the ice, which was a lot more bumpy than I had expected. Unfortunately, it was pink when it arrived but the Wonder had enough time to give it a quick respray in kiwi Black.


When we got there, a storm was brewing, so I wasted no time in building an iglu. No sooner than I had finished installing all the essentials like Sky TV, it began to snow.


The storm passed after a couple of weeks and I quickly found some local seals, who had come up from the shelf below the ice to catch some rays.

Fortunately, I am fluent in all 75 seal Seal languages and I was soon clapping my hands together and shouting aarf aarf at them. That really seemed to knock the stuffing out of them and they all froze as I think they they were in awe of my linguistic skills. Either that or I got the wrong dialect again...

  • Ice Man - is that your cue to bombard all your new found friends with your Nano's Top Gun sound track by any chance?

    Or is it because Stevie Wonder's alterego is actually Val Kilmer??

    Responses please (Tim)?!

    I've been past the Antarctic centre too but didn't bother visiting. I had better things to do at the time - visiting greenhouses!!
    Steve's alter ego - he did say he had been drinking with some locals the other week but he neglected to say it was a 'boys only' bar!

  • Am not Val Kilmer. He likes 'playin' with the boys' from what I heard... :-(

  • Thought the Antarctic Centre was alright but not as good as the seven whale Kaikoura spectacular out on the open sea. Christchurch is a bit boring if you ask me, though...
