I like things which annoy ... I even like people who annoy ... And I simply love Spaw to death ... |

29 Sep 08 - 09:39 PM (#2453393) Subject: RE: BS: I want a clock like this From: The Fooles Troupe "I still like it when Mickey points to the 3" One day, at The Uni of Qld - oldest Uni in Qld, (known as UQ - the Real University, in response to an advertising campaign for another 'Uni', which called itself the Uni for The Real World!) during O-week, I was walking across the grass in the main quadrangle inside the cloisters, when I realised that someone had 'done' the clock on the main building clock tower! There was Mickey in all his glory! Someone had abseiled down the tower in the dead of night, put the poster behind him, and affixed the hands. Took the ground staff 3 days struggling with cherry pickers, etc... Truly a prank worth of a 'Real University'! :-) |

30 Sep 08 - 12:17 AM (#2453472) Subject: RE: BS: I want a clock like this From: Michael Harrison You know - there are times in my life when I come face-to-face with the fact that I am just a very simple person; I mean, I can't imagine building that clock in a hundred years with the instructions written out - much less, conceive of the damned thing. However, since I'm not running for vice-president, things should be o.k. along the path I trod. What a grand time keeper the "Corpus" is." Cheers,....mwh |
