This and that...(updated)
- I have yet to meet a person that enjoys exams.
- Dinner at the Brasserie last night. Butter Chicken with rice. Not too bad.
- Company at dinner included Jim Payne (thanks for dinner), Nate (of the terrible three/Hulkamania), Amy Rowland, Matt Hooper (LSA Vice President who is still not talking to me much due to the "C" grade on the LSA report cards), Justin Tilley (Bond Uni VP) and his lovely partner Jess. The "Culinary Critic" Matt Lorkin joined us briefly. His roast beef looked like a chopped up belt covered in gravy. He just got back from Sydney from watching his son Tom play in his Rugby League Grand Final. Lorkin informed us that his son's team won, and his junior got man of the match. Well done young Lorkin.
- Rumours are swirling about the upcoming Bond University Elections for October. An early poll was held among the rumoured contenders Justin Tilley, Matt Cantatore, and Steph Campi. The poll's results had Tilley with a lead of 38 per cent while Cantatore and Campi were in a virtual dead-heat with 31 per cent each. The interesting thing about the poll was that Cantatore was found to have the most room for growth with 65 per cent willing to give him another look during the campaign. His appeal comes from his enthusiasm about the Bond Community while Tilley's support has a steady strength but is weaker among the part-time students at Bond. Campi's support is stagnant and is based on a small constituency. Many wonder her ability to compete in the campaign after she has been all but invisible that last two semesters.
- Being sick sucks...being sick during exams is even worse. Dr. Karsass at the Bond Uni medical clinic may just do the trick.
- My law joke of the week is this: The energizer bunny was arrested...he was charged with battery (this blog is getting pathetic...or has always been).
- More ads will be coming on this site. If you wish to advertise with us (as Dell has), please contact the Skuller. Speaking of the Skuller, I couldn't help but laugh when I asked how is torts studying was coming...he sent me the link to his page - here (look at the small picture in the corner of the book).
- The album of the week (seen picture at the top) is AC/DC's For those about to Rock (we salute you). A great album. Reached number one on the Billboard charts in 1981, mostly due to the strength of the previous album Back in Black (which is the biggest selling hard-rock album of all-time and the 5th best selling album of any kind of all-time). For those about to Rock was the last AC/DC album produced by legendary producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange (who is coincidentally married to Shania Twain). Mutt has, arguably, produced AC/DC's most successful albums - Highway to Hell (1979), Back in Black (1980), and For those about to Rock. For those about to Rock has become a staple at all concerts since it's release. The band usually closes concerts with the song and by bringing out large cannons out and firing them to signify a 21 gun salute. Most of the time they are so loud that they blow your ear drums out. Try the title track as well as these songs - Let's get it up, Inject the Venom, and Evil Walks.
- I have never eaten Kangaroo. That also means I have never eaten raw Kangaroo. I know no man that lives in the outback. However, that is not to say I am adverse to meeting any man from the outback and eaten cooked/raw Kangaroo with him. I have also never eaten green eggs and ham...however, the same provision applies - I am open.
- Always remember, a day without sunshine, is like night.
- Lastly, a special thanks to two people this week - Naomi King and Leigh McBean. Thanks for the help. By the way....Naomi sends this link. She says it reminded her of the German takeover of the library room that we experienced this week - great clip.

Ads suck - you've sold out Gordon ...
To add to your comment:
A policman was notified of a racket in a dumpster, he went to check it out. When he arrived and looked cautiously inside he was surprised to find two teenage boys inside. One was eating a firecracker, the other a battery.
Thinking this was odd, he took them back to the station:
One was charged the other was let off.
have a great night!!
Will Robbie Bartrop please have the 'savory mince' re-instated on the breakfast menu at the Brasserie? What does Robbie have against 'savory mince' which in New Zealand is akin to cavier.
Editor
Please don’t disregard my concerns regarding the 'savory mince' at the Brasserie. I know it’s nice and comfortable over there in the main library. But remember your crew 'on the ground' over at the old mining site (law school library). The lsa president (lets not go there) is nowhere to be seen. You’re my only hope. I know it was only a week old batch of sheep’s organs to you but it was the one thing constant in my life. I know Robbie Bartrop is a mate of yours (I like the kid as well) but this issue needs to be professionally exposed for all its worth. Robbie needs to get it back on the menu or prepare the delicacy himself.
Prisco I'm halway through an ACDC biography right now called "Two Sides to Every Glory" by Paul Stenning.
Pretty good stuff, you should check it out. I'm reading right now about all of the different theories about Bon Scott's death.
Do you believe the official version of how he died? In a car freezing to death after some serious drinking - quadruple whiskeys.

Re the above web address it is interesting to note that the president of Iran says 'He ascribes his rapid rise to academic excellence - he finished 132nd out of 400,000 in university entrance exams.'
Skuller
The Editor has gone down with a bug. You are to assume control of the University. Feel free to move over to the main library and I will provide you with meal tickets. I will remain 'on the ground' and continue entering the library survey multiple times as it allows you to do this. I have entered 1000 times. Watch for the library to be open 24hrs with beers served after 5pm. But Skuller unlike 'Joey Johns' who wasn't pulled up for swearing and now he may of cost the 'Knights' a home final ( http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2006/08/14/1155407740239.html)
the position of running this University demands no swearing. After 5pm at the bar in the law library is ok. Your first mission is to get Robbie Bartrop to prepare my 'savory mince'.
I feel part to blame for the misfortunes of President Prisco, the bug that has beaten his immunity system is probably the result of too much bra food. Unlike you and me culinary critic Gords immunity would not have been as strong to the gastly taste and poor hygene the Brasserie is all about.
None the less i will assume the role as leader of the university for now. I give an affirmation that i will abuse the power therin. As for barthrop and savoury mince, i know the man is near graduation, we simply wont let him graduate, until he re establishes supply of savoury mince, or that his graduation will be contingent on the constant supply of such, the moment he fails supply we will treat his graduation as a nullity, similiar to Gough Whitlam.
A move to the main library will not occur, i tried it, didnt like it, Law library is home. Beers at 5, a good notion, i will lay down the infrastructure, as for the swearing, no promises there.
And on leaving i will confess that i am a person from the outback who has eaten kangeroo, you'd only eat it if you have to, serve me Beef anyday
