Gingerbread Haka

Via a mailing list, the Gingerbread Haka:

If you don't get the joke, there's a video of the original below the fold, with bonus shirtless ruggers:

There are dozens of other versions on YouTube, including one with French subtitles, if you really want to know what they're chanting. It's a pre-game tradition for the New Zealand All-Blacks, based on a Maori dance.

It's worth watching a couple of them, just for the "What the...?" looks on the faces of the opposing sides, who have to stand there and watch this.

That's fantastic! The haka is a very revered Maori tradition and the All Blacks always perform one before a match. The gingerbread cookies were hilarious. What a great way to vote foer the best kiwi bakery.

This is just one more reason why rugby beats the hell out of soccer...

Truly, J-Dog. I am anxiously waiting for the popularity of rugby among Americans to hit its tipping point!

But it still didn't stop them losing the quarter-final in the World Cup to France who in turn lost the semi-final against England! I can't wait till Saturday!
