Dateline Lower Hutt.
I've been watching Rugby Sevens all day.  After seeing the bloody Canucks beat the USA, I was a bit bummed.  I mean it's one thing to loose to the All Blacks (the Kiwi's have something to prove after their dismal showing in the World Cup) 47-7, but to losing to Canada is a bit of an insult.
So I hop online and start Googling some of the terms that I've been hearing down here.  Interestingly enough, the term "bollocks" refers to testicles, while "bullocks" refers to a castrated bull.  According to an exhibit on immigration at Te Papa, rugby was started in New Zealand when some posh school boys inflated a "bullock's bladder" and started beating the tar out of each other.
While I was on Wikipedia, I typed in my own name.  Needless to say, I have a common name so there were a few hits.  Most famously I am a cricketer, a rugby league player, a congressman from my home state, the animator for Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, and the one-eyed guitarist for Kansas.  
Then I decided to lookup Aimee's name.  Needless to say, there is one famous Aimee that deserves mention.  Here's a few videos:
"Love in a Vacuum"
"What About Love"
"Coming Up Close"
"Voices Carry"
