- PeanutCheeseBar, on 06/10/2009, -0/+16A guy walks into a pub and sees a sign hanging over the bar:
Cheese Sandwich: $1.50
Chicken Sandwich: $2.50
Hand Job: $10.00
Checking his wallet for the necessary payment, he walks up to the bar and beckons to one of the three exceptionally attractive blondes serving drinks to an eager-looking group of men.
"Yes?" she enquires with a knowing smile, "can I help you?"
"I was wondering", whispers the man, "Are you the one who gives the hand-jobs?"
"Yes", she purrs, "I am."
The man replies "Well wash your bloody hands, I want a cheese sandwich!" - SapientGent, on 06/09/2009, -1/+15So if they had to use resources listed in the company's directories, does that mean all the waitresses were hired from the Companion numbers listed in the Yellow Book?
- Babel33, on 06/10/2009, -1/+14I refuse to even look at this. Browser resizing is unacceptable, when will people get it?

Verify the originality before you submit. - estebancortez, on 06/10/2009, -1/+6Absolutely amazing! Self sustainable restaurant. Kiwis got it goin on....
- Gareth321, on 06/10/2009, -0/+5Wow, I said "their" instead of "there" :-( I'm going to bed before I make more of an ass of myself.
- keymastr, on 06/10/2009, -0/+4This should not be dug down. Firefox, Tools, Options, Content. Click the Advanced button next to Enable Javascript. Uncheck Move or Resize existing windows.
- inactive, on 06/10/2009, -0/+4I met good-looking once. He kicked me in the nuts and told me to get a job.
I never liked the looks of him. - pikelet, on 06/10/2009, -0/+4The end result was awesome. but god DAMN the TV ads for it were annoying. They were on all the time and I wanted to strangle her by the end.
- chipxsd, on 06/10/2009, -0/+4I feel so violated
- CraigReed, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3It seems to me they forgot that it might rain from time to time when they designed this place.
- estebancortez, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3uhhhm, the tree house is built around it.....
- KingGorilla, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3Totally original I swear!
- ndurkes, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3Looks like an onion rather than "a chrysalis holding an emerging butterfly".
- Ellement, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2daisy owl!
- Twelvevolts, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2I've never seen the advert and never knew about this until now. So much for the effectivenes of TV advertisments (unless it wasn't shown in Wellington).
- russbyte, on 06/10/2009, -1/+3Browser resize?? Never mind that... it just crashed my firefox... Bury!
- eq2s, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2thankyou
- Gareth321, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2My girlfriend went their with her family. She said it was great, but they endured two prior cancellations due to bad weather. Wasn't too expensive either.
- thisisparta, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2oh wow. that looks amazing. but i do wonder if it ever caught on fire, it'd make short work of it.
- Twelvevolts, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2Doesn't look like the first submission got much traction.
- jawbreaker4fs, on 06/10/2009, -3/+5If you don't have that disabled in your browser, it's your own fault.
- inactive, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2Waitresses? since when are girls allowed on tree houses? I guess times have changed quite a bit. Before you know it, they'll be voting and writing books.
- GeekNurse, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2I wonder if they serve Otik's Spiced Potatoes.
- pikelet, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2I'm in Auckland and I saw them all the time. You didn't miss much. It was this chick with a huge smug look on her face talking about doing it all 'with Yellow'.
- crowbarred, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2been there .. seen it ... its still an add, [no-one gained from it except the yellow pages] closes for winter btw
- zagatbuzz, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2It is definitely unique and beautiful! How do the diners get to the top? Is the kitchen up there as well?
- Smegzor, on 06/10/2009, -0/+1It was an ad campaign for the Yellow Pages which apparently is similar to the Yellow Pages somewhere else. Strange how information gets twisted once it leaves Middle Earth.
- zagatbuzz, on 06/16/2009, -0/+1'Fit' is the right word! I guess that's a way off working off the extra calories one picks up working in a restaurant!
- RAAFStupot, on 06/10/2009, -1/+2I liked the bit where the prices were listed. How much is the Filipino Furburger?
Warren: Yeah…sure and I make no apologies for that Judith. Those films were, for their day, very successful. Films like Confession of a Bloke With a Really Big Donger! Uh…Suck Me To Death the film where I brought together the characters of Dracula and Emmanuel. You might recall the poster line uhhh ‘She went down for the Count’. I was doing some pretty innovative stuff in those days. People forget I was the first person in this country to make a film in Norgarama. See, you might call them ‘exploitation’ films, I prefer to see them as ‘explorations’ of the Australian psyche.
Judith: Yeah, but at the same time you must admit they were pretty crass and offensive.
Warren: Well…what are you referring to?
Judith: What about 1974’s Filipino Furburger?
Warren:Look, Filipino Furburger, in its original script, was a pretty subtle, sophisticated comedy of manners. Now, I was under a lot of pressure from distributors, drive-in owners, so sure, it did end up being a bit of a tit-feast, but a pretty classy one I think you will agree and what a dream cast: Blundell uhh Ferrier, Penny, Abigail.
Judith: One critic described it as a work of a crude, insensitive, puerile, misogynistic, cretinous, infantile, philistine.
Warren: Yeah but I’m more than just that. Jesus, I don’t know where this insensitive thing comes from. Steve-o, can you get that fat chick to bring me another bottle of *****-water?
Sorry, I've had a little too much to drink. - keymastr, on 06/10/2009, -0/+1When will you get it? Disable resizing.
- evergrim, on 06/11/2009, -0/+1Reminds me of Lothlórien from LotR. Not surprising it's in New Zeland.
- GeekNurse, on 06/10/2009, -0/+1Otik's Spiced Fried Potatoes
Ingredients
* 3-5 Med to Large Potatoes (depending on how many are to be served)
* 1 Stick of Butter
* 1 Medium Onion cut in large pieces
* 2 Cloves of Garlic crushed
* 1-2 Teaspoons Ground Cayenne Pepper
* 1-2 Teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
* Salt to taste
Directions
Scrub potatoes, and remove any eyes. Chop into 1/2-inch cubes with skins. Microwave until they start to soften while you prepare other ingredients.
Melt butter in frying pan (traditionally an iron skillet), and heat until sizzling. Add cayenne and black peppers to butter and stir.
Add onion and garlic to pan and cook until onions are starting to turn clear.
Add the potatoes and stir to coat them in the butter, then salt to taste. Cook until potatoes are nice and crisp.
Serves 3-4 commoners or 1 hungry warrior.
Note - For the full effect, serve in the pan with a large hunk of bread and cheese and a big tankard of strong ale. - inactive, on 06/10/2009, -0/+1Goddamn, they should be sent to web designing hell.
- ribfeast, on 06/11/2009, -0/+1I thought the ads were fine, at least it was interesting (try and think of making directories interesting) and something different.
The fact it actually produced something that people could enjoy is infinitely better than it just going into funding creative at an agency.
Didn't mind the smug face, at least it was a pretty one... - traceytreehouse, on 06/10/2009, -0/+1It is amazing! You should see it in the evening. We built a 45 meter ramp which you could access from the side. The kitchen was situated a few metres before the entrance of the treehouse due to Health and Safety regulations. The kitchen staff were very fit by the end of it!
- traceytreehouse, on 06/10/2009, -0/+0Sorry you felt that way pikelet! haha I didnt have much choice on the adverts it was a big campaign we had to get it out there somehow.
- myhomedesign, on 06/10/2009, -0/+0super awesome! I'm going to add it in to what i need to have next on my dream home list.
- traceytreehouse, on 06/10/2009, -0/+0It is situated just before Warkworth.
- dumptaker, on 06/10/2009, -0/+0If you’re using Firefox, go to Options->Content->Advanced then uncheck ‘Move or resize existing windows’
- traceytreehouse, on 06/10/2009, -0/+0Haha yeah lucky we didnt have that problem! No candles, heaters or smoking obvoiusly! The blankets worked wonders.
- traceytreehouse, on 06/10/2009, -0/+0It had a perspecs roof which pretty much sheltered you if it rained, although you were stuffed if it was windy. We only opened when the weather was good. We got blankets for everyone if it got cold.
- maryrsd, on 07/01/2009, -0/+0Do you have to give a password to get in? If not, it's not a real treehouse experience...
- govindprasad01, on 06/12/2009, -0/+0hey where is the tree? what can the damn people do besides cutting down each tree.
people hang in there till the sea level rises. - likedonduan, on 06/10/2009, -1/+0where is the tree?
- danieldejesus, on 06/10/2009, -4/+2That looks so peaceful. I wish I could have experienced it while it was open.
