The ladies go crazy for my sugar lumps...

New Zealand's summer has been hot and dry of late and as a result there is a brush fire burning North of Nelson on the south island, cleansing the land as nature intends, but threatening some homes. In the course of fighting the fire several helicopters were called in to dump water on the flames, using buckets slung underneath. Shine, and her nephew Rain discuss the events of the day... and my new favorite word is born...



Rain: It was dark, and the moon... and there was heli-heliclopters and diggers... and there was TEN!

Shine: Ten?

Rain: Yeah, ten clop...

Shine: Ten helicopters...

Rain: No, I call 'em clopters!

Shine: Chopters?

Rain: NO CLOPTERS!

Shine: And what were the helicopters doing?

Rain: CLOPTING!!! HEHEHEHEHEHE!!!!!

Clopting. Indeed.
