Cayyse, Will ya hold me hair back!

Yo Fabian, what’s up? “Dude I need you to come out with me tonight and be my wingman. Me, “sorry man, I have a 21st”. Fabian, “21st!, who the hell do you know who is 21!”

Last Saturday night, junior of URS, Stephen Haack had his 21st at the Drifters Alibi in Port Melbourne. Never refusing a free night on the piss, a large contingent from URS came along to celebrate Haack’s 21st birthday.

Hey Sel, you really should get that mole checked out…it could be cancerous…

Well haacky must have thought all his birthdays came at once when the usual suspects Sel and Kath rock up dressed to impress. Ife had pulled out her previously once worn Two Tribes Dress covering all not that much and Kath wasn’t to be outdone with a very enlightening black dress which I think young Haacky was having the odd fantasy about and probably still is.

After the speeches, the two bad ladies took over the dance floor and went nuts. Not to be felt left out with the moon boot and all, Katherine proceeded to carry me around the dance floor (impressed). Casey was even rumored to grace the dance floor and Ife and Kath gave Haacky birthday present he will never forget by sandwiching him on the dancefloor all while ife was slamming down wines faster than barman could pour them.

The Petroni

After an hour or two of classic hits from Farnham, Barnsie and Jacko, Kath commented, “Sel is soo going to spew tonight”

The ride home was truly a memorable one. With kath driving, Sel in the front passenger seat and casey, myself and Danni crammed into the back, Sel thought it would be a good time to give all of us her benella impersonation a go while inhaling a couple of helium balloons from the party. It went something like this….

Caayyyyse, you’re the best..
Maaaarrry me Caayyyyse....
Caayyyyse, put it in there....
Harder Cayyyse.....
Take my to IKEA Cayyse
I luv ya Caayyyyse …..for a solid 15 minutes…I don’t think Danni had any idea what was going on!

Kath...If i don't dance in the next 10 minutes, its going to be ugly

And just thinking that this was possibly the best entertainment ever, Selina out did herself by projectile vomiting out Katherine's car at Hoddle Street. Then twice at home! And 4 times in the morning….

Oh yeah, Happy 21st Haacky.

Dunc Goes Country

Benella. Its dry. Its flat. Its hot. Its a little bit country. Its a place where if you don't have a V8 ute (sporting a big UHF antenna), a slab of VB in the back, and a wife beater tan, you may as well turn straight back around to Melbourne.

Upon Arrival

Well thats what myself and two bad ladies (Selina and Katherine) risked when Casey Robertson invited us to spend Australia Day with him at ferrels annual Australia Day Tripple J Hottest 100 bbq/party

Cans...

Always a little sceptical about heading anywhere away from the coast on a sunny day, the girls and i where already encountering problems with Sels parents car overheating on the drive to Benella. From Melbourne, Benella usually takes around 2.5 hours to drive but we managed to stretch that out to 4 hours due to regular stopping to let the honda cool down and for sel and kath to yell at absolutely every bloke who they thought is a bit of "auuurlright''.

Sel took this one?

When we finally arrived, we fronted up to what reminded me of uni days at a college party. Ferrell was very kindly relieving himself in the middle of the lawn for all to see, cockeye was doing a layback, deano was in a bit of a tussle, blocka was just being blocka and most bits of furniture were strewn around the yard and there was no shortage of empty beer bottles scattered around. So whats one to do? Start drinking very quickly and enjoy the festivities.

Given the intial shock of the scene, i was soon enjoying myself by mostly just watching other people. It was kind of like a nature show. "what we can see her are two males performing in a ritual seal crawl to attract the attention of the surrounding females"

After a 6 pack of beer and a few Johnnie Walker's, it was time for every country tradition. A parma at the local pub. Beautifully located on Benella lake, we enjoyed our parmas in ambience reading ourselves for the nights activities at another pub nearby.


The backdrop from the Pub. From the left we have Kat, Sel and me!

Well the rest of the night was a bit blurr. Sel and Kath were well and truely warming up with a gathering of local boys sniffing around. I think its been a while since two single 25 year old ladies have visited Benella.

Robbo and Kath

The night went into the wee hours. There was nudity...skinny dipping...drinking...and a little more drinking. Kath, Sel and myself enjoyed our little country adventure, but we think it might be a while before heading back.
