Emergency Devil Horn Treatment.
This has never happened. Two Devil Horn Treatment's in less than a week! Today we honour LSA President Brendan Donoghue. I was reminding Donoghue that it had been 122 days since he was elected and there has been no action on changing the LSA website seen here. He flipped! How can you have an Law Student's Association website when the people aren't even on the LSA website anymore? It's like saying to an Australian, "you should write a letter to Prime Minister Gough Whitlam if you want changes." Well, bad example, but hopefully you get the point.
Donoghue replied to me, "we've had one of the best weekends for Bond and you want to talk about this!" He then stormed out of the library.
Many observers wondered why Donoghue threw such a hissy fit. From my experience in crisis management, it wasn't the best way to handle the situation. We at www.gordprisco.blogspot.com want to offer every bit of assistance to help get the LSA website off the ground. Not only that, we'll offer free tech help. I have just the person on my staff.

Hey guys,
I am currently in the process of re-creating the tutor's database to correlate with the launch of the new LSA website. If you achieved higher than 80% in any subject (including core and electives) during your law degree and wish to make some money by tutoring please fill your details into the attached Excel file and email it back to me.
Kind Regards,
Brendan Scandrett (not to be confused with the aforementioned devil horn recipient).
Brendan, please permanently take me off this list. I am too busy thinking about Club 20's, Pub Crawls, Palavers, Grape's Hops and Jazz, and Thursday nights at Don's to waste my time with this. Furthermore, the day I am a tutor at this school is the day the school should close down.
thank you.

1. What "tech" experience would you be refering too?
2. Stop acting like you were ever on the tutor's database!
Perhaps we should "liberate" the website - it seems unhappy and depressed.
Fuck thats a bad pic of me
Gordon you seem very quick to point out if my sentences don't make sense. Often yours don't but I was brought up to be polite. This I will make an exception your sentence that begins paragraph 3 many observers. Given the volume of traffic that seems to pass by your blog you suprise me by not being more attentive.
Gord I called you a disgrace. And I told you to quote me on that.
I don’t mind that you feel it necessary to have a go at me. That’s great. Hope it makes you feel good.
But the issue I have with you is the shit that you are carrying on with this week. We had one of the best week(ends) this uni has seen in a long time and you decide to count how long I have been in office with a website. Well done Gord.
You had Bronte write a huge article on this site about how the Bond spirit was dying cause people weren't going to events, yet give virtually no coverage to the events that happened. You didn't even think it important enough to list the people that won!
I've said this before and I'm going to say it again. You bring NOTHING Gord. You like the notoriety that this blog gives you and that's pathetic. Why not actually give something back to the Uni or the Law School and then think about having a go.
Wording fixed for the most part.
I observed that the Review was not very well patronised. Speaking from experience as someone who has organised many fundraisers at my own home and at large venues I think that it would be better to do the following:
-advertise Club 20 on the LSA website
-think about making Club 20 a fortnightly event
-have a variety of finger food as Subway is yuk and
-find people who will donate the alchohol!
ha - who am i to talk. i can't even word a comment properly. anyway you obviously knew what I was refering to, as the error has now been rectified.
How about making Club 20 a fortnightly event and having the alchohol donated.
Why is the writing so small?
To the anonymous wruters, please forgive me for being offensive but could you please stop being so fucking stupid, Club 20 is a fortnightly event you dickheads, and yeah who is going to donate the alcohol, Santa Clause, come on people it doesnt work like that, The LSA run great events the food provided Subway or pizza is always good, although i must say they should venture into Nando's every now or then, but hey have a FSA to run and a profit to make, Long Live the current LSA
Club 20 is fortnightly... i think you may be thinking of Empire which runs in the other week, which is actually run by the BSA, not the LSA.
Moreover, who cares about the website when the current LSA is so approachable and transparent that they dont even need one in order for us to know whats going on. If we never saw them or knew what they were doing, then maybe it would be a problem. The website would only cater to people who spend too much time on this blog and not enough time on campus.
Whatever I have just noticed that there seem to be drinks every week. BTW I have no problems with Santa Claus donating alchohol. If some people chose to get up off their Brasserie Asses and used their imagination just ocassionally they might find people willing to donate alchohol. It is all about communicating with the right people. Seriously I have had people donate cases of wine and beer to me in the past and I still charge people to come to parties at my house.
Gordon you have sold out brother for a few lousy drinks. You too
are a commissioned agent for a fucken nightclub. Sold out to a convicted criminal with an alcohol problem. You were my hero editor. But I find you have no integrity all for a lousy drink of firewater.
I think is disturbing when the lines become blurred between whether we have weekly or fortnightly drinks. I am a tea totaller myself.
Hi, I dont know u. u don't know me. and i have stumbled on this blog of yours by default. interesting read, i must admit.. to say the least.. what concerns me however, is ur unhealthy enthusiasm and obsession with the political sector of bond university. it seems that you have alot to say about the way our university should be run and how our various websites should be operating... please forgive me for my bluntness but i have to ask.. why don't you do something about it instead of complaining about it at least once a week on ur little speck of a blog in the big world of cyberspace on the www? why, i ask, did u not run for student council let alone the LSA? why do you sit there week in week out complaining about the state of our uni, while proposing no real solutions? you, i'm afraid, seem to be all talk no action. stand up and do something about it or quit the whinging and stop harrassing the people who have stepped up to try and make a difference, no matter how miserably they are failing. at least they're giving it a go. wat you're doing is unhealthy for someone of your age.
the end.
You get free drinks? Why are they bribing you? What are they afraid of?
I was pretty close to not allowing the comment above. However, you're dead wrong. You'll have to look at many of the prior posts to realize we give even more credit than is usually due. But when we see something wrong, we'll call people on it. This subject has also been broached many times here. Read previous comment sections. Keep the comments coming...thanks
I refer you to allegations in comments on Skullers blog.
Hi, just stopped by (my second time visiting). Nice blog, bit different, very name-namey.
Couldn't disagree more with the above comments...keep up the good work Prisco. About time we students watched what the people that represent us do. Most of the time you're too easy on them. If anything, they should give this site credit for being more open and honest.
im impressed u let my comment through. not that it matters i simply just wanted u to be aware of it.
but oh dear god u need to relax on the defensive and actually read wat i have written.
i didn't say u fail to give credit where its due. because in fact you do. i didn't say stop pointing out the things these people do wrong. i simply asked u, instead of complaining about the wrongs why dont u step up and do something about it? u were so hung up on defending urself on a non existing attack, u didn't even answer my question.
it seems to me that u have completely missed the whole essence of my last comment.
in all honesty, hats off to you for pointing out all the things the student council and the LSA do wrong and making the student body aware. i seriously think its great. i do believe that you are fair and honest about it all. step 1. sweet.
then wat. nothing. hence my issue with ur pointless complaining. wats the point of picking out all the things that aren't done right when u have no real means of fixing it? u might as well have not even pointed anything out.. in reality we're in the same position as we are before. i dont know wat kinda effect u think ur blog has on the people of bond. but u don't seriously think that u pressuring the student council and LSA here, online, is going to prompt change do u?
if u do. wow. u need to get off the highs of cyber space and come back to something i like to call reality.
fuck. now that was fuckin long winded and draining. i hereby promise to never write anything again on this blog. i just wanted to say what i thought. keep up the good work of filtering thru the politics of bond. i'm not critising wat u do on this blog so relax. but y not go one more step forward and assert some change too mr prisco?
i just think that these people trying to make a difference but failing .. failing miserably.. are more respectful then someone who points out everything that's wrong and does nothing about it.
enough from me. i think i may have repeated myself about 50 times.. resulting in a fuckin essay. thats wat u get a 3am. i'll leave u alone now. i wish u all the best with everything. thanks for reading my 2cents worth.
what great timing for the last comment. you're going to have to see the post following this. Apparently this site does have some influence...and it's a good influence I must admit. Why wouldn't we want these site fixed?
Drew yes I do organise free drinks by lining people up to donate money to one of my political forums. I also usually invite a show pony along to give a speach to attract people to come along and donate more money. If I am having a dinner I usually charged about $30 per head and gold coin donation for drinks. In addition to this when I just have drinks I charge people $5.00 for finger food and it is gold coin donation for the drinks. No bribery is involved at all as it is all disclosed in accordance with the Electoral Act.
Dear Mr Anonymous ....
Firstly get the person you are addressing right. I didn't say anything about political forums and I wasn't the one who suggested drink donations for club 20. My comment above was refering to free drinks at Melbas in return for good reviews on the blog.
If you run your political campaign the way you read comments, you are screwed.
D
Drew you should reference your comments properly as there was no mention of free drinks at Melba's in relation to the comment to which I referred Earlier Skuller accused me of being a fan of Santa Claus.
BTW I have never been behind and unsuccessful political campaing in my life. I have been mentioned in Parliamentary Hansard which is a testament to my skills in this area. Also you do not become the Junior Vice President of a mainstream political party without having good strategic and number crunching skills.
And given your anonymous posting we can neither confirm nor refute that.
And if you read my comment above you will see that I did refer people to Jack's blog ... late - but I still did it.
Are we to understand that King B actually received an 80% in a classe at Bond, or is that someone else's email you posted Gordo?
I am humbled by the great Donoghue's words. He is absolutely correct Gordon. You do bring NOTHING. The time that you spend posting and moderating this site counts as nothing.
On the other hand Brendan does great things for Bond University. The student bodies should be grateful. In fact they should consider memorializing him with a plaque (my only question is: does he need to be dead to warrant a plaque, if so are there any volunteers, and should we consult his dentist?).
Truly, Brendan is a great man and a great friend. He treats his mates with compassion and respect, even going so far as to recommend that people vote for people other than his mates, so that his mates can learn to appreciate the value of a hard won election. Or fall flat on their faces and look ridiculous, either way Brendan is wise, and understands the meaning of mateship.
Unlike you Gordon, Brendan does not crave the notoriety of a Blog. The fact that he has a blog should not be confused any with any cravings of notoriety. It is you that are pathetic Gordon.
Brendan has no concern for the opinion of others, following his liver, no that’s not right, let me try again… following his disease… no again, not right. I mean, following his heart on tough decisions.
Brendan leads by example, or is that leads by drinking… no that’s not right, I mean, Brendan drinks up the student funds.
While you do NOTHING Gordon Brendan shamelessly…. Sorry I mean, justly profiteers, uhhhh…. I mean profits, that’s right, justly profits from the proceeds of corruption….. Sorry that should read, fruits of his labour. Brendan justly profits from the fruits of his labour.
All impeach, I mean… All hail mighty Brendan. Steward of sleaze…. Wait, I mean, Steward of freedom, leader of sheep…. sorry alcoholics…. oops wrong again. Leader of men.
Australia needs Brendan’s brand of leadership, his, for want of a better word “larrikinism”, to remind it of the corrupt, and arbitrary authority that the larrikin tradition rose to defy.
Politics is bloody hard work. Too often those who observe it, sniping from the sidelines, have no comprehension of what it's like to have your neck on the block. It's ugly out there. Whether you're the putrid Monika Lewenski, the beloved and magnificent Bill Clinton, the charming vision of lovelinsess our Education Minister Julie Bishop (who by the way has bad taste in men as she went out with Senator Ross Lightfoot very briefly), or indeed whether you are like that hunk Dr Craig Emerson who bonked Julia Gillard only to be most unserimoniously dumpted later. Whatever you might think of politicians they all put in and cop it on the chin (wink, wink).
We love gordon! We are his melbourne fan club. except he bloody woke me up when I was sleeping. He really pissed me off. Emma says we're not allowed to write this. We don't listen to her that often even. Except when I need her to edit my papers. Anyway if she says don't do something we usually do. Mum says if your not going home for christmas you should come here. She says Christine too, we'd love to see her. Gordon's Melbourne fan club. oh and if you come may Mum have another Golf shirt!
Gord .... is there something you want to address in that comment?
Something you want to clarify? When I read that I think you are banging their mother ... why else would you be giving her shirts? They are evidence of your social castration, it's the first rule of sexual conquest. Wear the clothes of your partner, it labels them as yours for as long as you wear the shirt.
Come on Gordo fess up - first a whole basket ball team and now the mothers of your fan club members !
that is so wrong. the entire family have canadian golfing tee-shirts - that's gross. we got them for christmas. in fact dad has two. some rock concert one or something - he wears it everytime a canadian arives in melbourne. he thinks it also helps him run faster. mum ended up with a golf shirt as he gave emma two shirts and mum really needed a white one. she liked it so tee-shirts were give to the whole family. my parents are happily married in a monogomous relationship and have been so for 28 yrd. our family are aso in christine's fan club. apparently i have to enquire as to wether or not she is PM yet? This is ridiculous we are supposed to be setting up for a party but instead we are getting involved in Bond bloggin politics. i don't know if emma's in the fan club but mum and dad and james are. oh, emma just said she is probably too old to be in gordon's fan club. i guess if i have to be in it i will be. people at that university need some fresh air. my mum and dad are currently laughting hysterically. they think it's the biggest joke. My Mum is saying contact Christine for any verifications. My dad is saying poor Gordon's family back home. They must be wondering what's happening in Australia. tell them don't worry the don't need to evacuate him yet. he's doing okay! they were new shirts, left over some 'i am a canadian politician drive' - that's from emma. that's just gross - gord i'll start sensoring your comments like i'm sensoring emma's.
do you think you could ban us all?
Well my parents are both still virgins and I was born by immaculate conception. I am such a miracle child and like I said before you don't become National President of a mainstream political party without having some balls.
gordon, please feel free to ban my entire family. you also have my permission to give the 'devil horn' treatment to each and every member.
In the poetic words of Gough Whitlam may God save the President because nobody else will.
It was god save the GG you dofus
Yes I know that but I am referring to the GG as the President in this context.
Yours sincerley
Susan Renouf
