Gaiety Appreciation
Everyone needs a bit of Gaiety in their lives. The misunderstood sibling of the Tim-Tam, Gaiety has long existed. Its name is a piece of marketing genius, since it's just too addictive to say "I need some Gaiety" or "Gaiety melts on my mouth, not in my hand." Future marketing endeavours could include sponsoring Stonewall and enlisting Hugh Jackman.

Australia's Next Top Model: Separated At Birth
Alyce
+ a hand rake (look at the mouth - twins!)
+ Manga Elf (also reflected in their 2D personalities. Look at the triforce ears, right-angle eyebrows, demon eyes, wilting mouth and Yoda expression)

Overheard at Sydney Uni
While the above African-American and Soccer Mom have nothing to do with the demographic of USyd, eavesdropping is fun and your only option for the bus when your i-Pod headphones break again. So here are a few quotes heard around campus from the past few weeks.
In the library
Girl to man at info desk: "Is there somewhere in here where I can sleep?"
(though it's what we're ALL thinking)
Carslaw
Guy at gymnastics society booth: "HEY HANDSOME BOY! COME BUY SOME FOOD!"
(marketing major?)
Arts students walking on Eastern Avenue:
Guy 1: "You want to Chai?"
Guy 2: "Nah, I need something stronger, like a Latte"
(slow down there cowboy, one day it's latte, the next it's flat-whites!!)
Walking out of lecture
Guy: These are my girlfriend's skinny-jeans I'm wearing
Girl: They look good on you :
(after he said that, gravity bent in on itself and a nebulus entity swallowed the room)
On the 440
Guy: I really need to get one of those bus passes. Why do they call it a Travel 10?
Girl: Because you get 10 trips >_>
Guy: Oh.. yeah i'd get one but I'd have to walk all the way to Seaforth shops
Girl: Doesn't that take 10 minutes? <_<
Guy: But it's on a hill.
(i'm sure your parents will carry you, son)
Elderly woman 1: Sorry about this
Elderly woman 2: That's ok, I'm disabled too
Elderly woman 1: It's terrible isn't it
Elderly woman 2: Isn't it

Sydney Spy Video of the Week: 7/5
Australian video of the week:
"Ship To Shore Theme"
Everyone remembers this show! I can't actually remember if it was good though, I just remember one storyline where they thought the island was going to get hit by a tidal wave. Listen and FEEL OLD.
Multicultural video of the week:
"Tales of Mere Existence - Procrastination"
American YouTube gem for all my procrastinators up in here! And perhaps the most precise sentiment in the world, after my article on why people born between 1984-1989 are superior.
How much is it you? Add a comment..
