<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV> Greetings from Greymouth, New Zealand. AOL is working horribly on almost all the computers here.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>PANCAKE ROCKS--the name of the famous rocks at Punakaiki, because of the pancake appearance. Not in OED.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>STYLOBEDDING--This was used on a geological sign at the pancake rocks, but curiously resulted in zero Google hits. What's wrong?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>POSSYWOOL--From a local publication: "Our homegrown wool's never been cosier since someone started spinning plucked possum fur in with it. ... Nolly Martini at The Willows craft shop in Harihari is an enthusiast for the fur/wool combo and has stocks from socks to jackets that rival bigger centres at prices that beat them flat. Part of the reason why Coasters are so keen on using possum fur could be that these Aussie imports munch so much of our native forest. As they easily outnumber sheep in New Zealand there's no prospect of the supply running out."</DIV>
<DIV> Zero Google hits? What about Nexis? NZ Dictionary?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>KEKENO--the New Zealand fur seal, found at the pancake rocks. This name is used on all the signs. Not in OED. NZ Dictionary?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>SILVERSIDE--"corned beef" to me.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>CHIPOLATAS--some of the sausages I saw at a meat shop.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>JOGGER BUNS/LOAF--spotted at one bakery, but I haven't seen them anywhere else.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>CRUSTY'S--also sold at the same bakery. Apostrophes are crazy down here.</DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: <a href='http://go.msn.com/bql/hmtag3_etl_EN.asp'>Click Here</a><br></html>
