Monash Memoirs Part Two

Tom and Janelle travelled to Monash again last night. And came home with two honourable thirds.

The topics being: "That this house would put women on the front line."

and...

"That this house would relieve the debt of the third world."

So, we got stooged both times, but what can you do.

There were no entertaining quotes as per round one, except those that came from the mouth of Janelle.

--"the front front front line" - yes I know, so I don't know anything about the fricking military, and new age warfare. Middle age warfare is so much more appropriate.

--"I'll tell you what our extension is when I think of it." - I actually don't think I ever thought of it. That speech was bad.

And from the mouth of Tom:

--using cricket as an example of third world countries not following international requirements to an adjudicator who hates cricket. We weren't to know.

Well, I guess that is all.

Keep a look out for a potential DUDS Internal BP Comp in September.

monash madness

last night tom and janelle, ventured all the way to monash to spread some duds love, as kate would say. and that we did.

anyway, more to the point, we came home with some very promising results.

in the first debate "this house would enforce a mandatory retirement age" we managed a 3rd against some fantastic competition.

in the second debate "this house would trade our human rights for national security" we managed a very impressive 2nd in a debate that turned to the finer points of torture.

tom thinks we should've won the second debate, but monash are mean and like to protect their own.

monash memoirs part one

here are some famous quotes from the special people at monash:

"that you can teach pottery for 20 years, or whatever the fuck you want."

"my grandad is a 87 year old builder and goes out and does stuff with cement."

"i don't hate old people"

"the australian dream can shove it, i don't want old people to starve"

"it's either about terrorism or taking driver's licences away from old people" - this from tim sonnreich after the announcement of the debate "that we would trade our human rights for national security.

"sip tea and enjoy life"

"we can't solve problems about offering free movie tickets" - how did they know??
