Top Ten Moments from New Zealand 08'

10. High School Musical 2- Just about the only movie that worked at the backpackers, HSM3 was always chucked on after a night on the town, watched whilst eating some 2 minute noodles, or Fergburger chips. It got us through many a times when going straight to bed would result in the case of the heasdspins.

9. Becoming a Tea Fan- The World Bar and its famous cocktail teapots(long island, shipwrecked, and other cool names) were a big hit amongst us boys. Every night we went out we would always find time for a pot of tea, especially on Sunday night when the roll of a dice would determine whether you got it for free or not.

8. The Boat- After pulling an all nighter, me and Jarryd ventured down to the lake, stole a canoe, paddled out to a boat, stole the boat, paddled the boat and the canoe into shore, moored the canoe, then took the boat out and ventured across to a mysterious island/golf course. Here we found the Jeffery Jetty(Damn Straight!) and even saw a big fish. Then we returned home and by the time we got back it was brekky time. then we cracked a bottle of Jack Daniels and proceeded to get drunk at 9 in the morning, even managing to cook up a feast of rice using a recipe i had invented the previous night. It involved rice, peppper, salt, lemon juice and worcesteshire suace. Good Times...

7. Fergburger- such a culinary delight has never or will never be matched. From the names (The Big Al, Morning Glory, The Codfather) to the condiments(best aioli in the world), Fergberger will go down in history as the best food i ever ate.

6. Calum the charger- never have the likes of Coronet or the Remarkables seen such an enthusiastic charger as Calum Mcmulkin. not afraid to do any jump he saw, Cal would constantly draw large crowds, as his enthusiasm was inversely proportional to his aerial co-ordination. Big wipeouts were a given, as were many laughs.

5. Snowboarding Porters- even though it was a killer drive, Porters was going off one fine day after a massive snowfall. It was an awesome day with all Lambda Boys in attendance(minus Alex) with what i swear was nearly a meter deep powder in some spots. Totally, insanely, fantastic!

4. Kelly the morning after- After a big night on the town, Kelly decided to throw up in the town mall. Right in front of a security camera. Then i dragged him down 3 floors to the fire exit, but my shortcut was not a shortcut after all, as the doors had been locked for the night.
After carrying him back up and home, he proceeded to throw up well into the night, in his bed, without realising it. When he woke up the next day he found that his matress, blankets, pillow, clothes, and his nanna scarf had all copped a beating. Then he took refuge in the shower, where he continued to spew up a mysterious green bile, presumably something that was not meant to come out of his mouth.

3. The ghost mattress- Calum, going to bed one night, got an unpleasant surprise when he realised, mid jump, that the planks supporting his mattress had mysteriously disappeared. Even better was the fact that it was caught on film, so his misfortune will be laughed at for eternity.

2. The Canyon Swing- the single most exhilarating thing i have ever done. The people that rigged you up were funny guys too, and thier constant trickery meant that even the bravest of souls was still crappin their dacks.

1. Sliding down Coronet Car Park- The last time i ever decide to take a shortcut down an icy mountain. This was one of the funniest things that could accidentally happen, although we were too scared and in too much pain to realise how funny it really was. At least we managed to film
Cal going down the second time, to get his ski, but it was no where near as funny.
