Dogs day out... not



Hair of the dog seems like a bit of an understatement for this low key mutt with style and an unimpressed expression about its owner heading off to the market without it. Left to ponder the injustices of being a dog, instead it set about visualising a better use for the day.


I don't just want the word, I want to manifest the actual reality, dog gone it!!

Art on the run


Illuminating flour art lights up the runway for hardy Nelson harriers running wild on cold winter nights clad with spotlights, bugles, trumpets and dogs.

Art in the park


This delicate, textured and anonymous work of doggy doo art was found sparkling in the early morning sunshine recently. Constructed on a biodegradable canvas, it's a wildly collaborative work between the anonymous and relieved dog, and local creative micro organisms. It also adds a whole new meaning to the name Hairy McCleary and the expression 'fine art'.

Wildly out of the blue


Wild smile beach wood spotted over the weekend at Tahuna. A wildly clear direction that life is meant to be fun - just follow the arrow. Very difficult not to smile after seeing that.

Crazy paving


The whole of Elliott Street in central Nelson got re-sealed today, presumably to look spic and span for a certain large rugby event coming up at Trafalgar Park later this year... except just this one little bit that is. We like to think of it as wildly sneaky creative road work art work.

Hanging around


Overheard in Nelson, a Collingwood Street conversation...

Paisley: Hey man, you look terrible. You wanna iron yourself out a bit.
Blue: Humph!
Paisley: Decidedly dishevelled even. And you’re normally such a stuffed shirt too.
Blue: Well, we got home last night, me and him, three sheets to the wind and we lost the thread a bit.
Paisley: Lost the thread? Looks more like he lost the shirt off his back and you’ve been hung out to dry mate...
Blue: What would you know? You’re just a button-down, wide-weave, over-decorated fashion victim.
Paisley: Oh keep your shirt on buddy or those knickers down the line will get in a twist. I’m 100% wild and sneaky art cotton I’ll have you know.

Bring out the gimp


An unconfirmed rumour of wild, sneaky and unexpected hilarity, good humoured generosity and cheeky fun has reached our ears here at wild & sneaky. The way we heard it was this…
 
‘Twas the day before Christmas, 24th December 2010, when all through the Nelson court house nothing unusual was stirring, not even a court mouse. Up the judge stood, his mind perhaps full of the thoughts of eggnog, declaring an end to the day’s proceedings before duly leaving the court room. It was noted that, not long after, another man of some known legal standing in Nelson circles, also stood and exited the court room.
 
A few minutes passed when suddenly, and most unexpectedly, the door opened again and in ran to the court room an unknown personage, attired in what could only be described as a gimp suit. For the uninitiated, one could only imagine this as being black in colour, skin tight in construction (more than likely of Lycra fabrication) and reminiscent of a certain character from the movie Pulp Fiction.
 
But what the gimp did next was even more extraordinary. He ran around every nook and cranny of the court house giving out Christmas sweets, being sure not to forget even the prisoners in the holding cells below. What a generous Christmas gimp this was indeed!
 
Once gimpy had left, the gentleman of some legal standing returned from his errand, who bizarrely and much to his disappointment, had missed the whole event…

Wild & sneaky headlines


Can't help but wonder whether this teaser put out on Facebook and Twitter recently was an intentional pun by The Nelson Mail. It's a crack-up, or not, as the case may be.

Media bouts

It's a precarious time to be throwing Wild & Sneaky out into Nelson's media ring. Word on the street is that the The Nelson Mail and Wakefield Village News have been going a few rounds, The Leader has a new rival opponent in Nelson Weekly, and More FM Nelson's Katrina Smith recently went head to head with a Fresh FM morning crew in a cheeky, bare-knuckled Facebook popularity fight, in which defensive clinch manoeuvres were seemingly resorted to. That pretty much only leaves media mogul contender WildTomato yet to skin the gloves. It's okay Jack Martin, we're just the corner man. Look, even our own Wasaroonians are fans...

If you are a local media organisation and wish to add your website link to Wild & Sneaky's neutral corner, drop us a line. Our promoter reckons if you wish to reciprocate, then even better. Ding ding!
