M-ASS vs SSS RIVALRY!

The annual M-ASS/SSS Rivalry happened once again in April of 2009, and boy was it awesome! With three events spanning Theatresports, Dodgeball and Ye Olde Drinking Games, the event was an enormous success for all involved. (and a darn good bout of fun too!)

Congratulations to SSS who emerged as the victors (Noooooooooo!)nd thankyou to everyone who participated or helped out at eac of the three events.

A brief summary of each competition:

THEATRESPORTS: SSS won. Mainly due to the fact every M-ASS gag ended in "Ya Mum" and with no pants on.

DODGEBALL: SSS won, thanks to their Superhuman Formula stolen from Steve Rogers. Special mention to Meltem and her elite ball blocking skills (her face)

DRINKING OLYMPIAD: M-ASS totally owned after SSS failed to provide a team to compete with (they were on a pub crawl). Note: Three Legged Races hurt....

See you next year SSS (Mwuahahahah!)

M-ASS HELPS OUT WITH A REAL ASS (and a DUCK!)

Over the summer holidays, M-ASS decided to do something for those who are not lucky enough to be our fellow students here in Melbourne. With a little help from Oxfam, the committee members gifted a Donkey and a Duck (with a cape!) to families in Africa and Indonesia.

   

Donkeys can carry large loads over long distances and are useful for collecting water and firewood. And for people getting back on their feet, a donkey can carry supplies to and from market, plus there's the bonus of free fertiliser!

 In Indonesia ducks provide families with eggs while also serving as an environmentally-friendly form of pest control! They can be released in rice fields after harvest to scavenge for insects and snails, avoiding the high cost of feed.




PROSH VICTORY - M-ASSpoon is too big BREAKS A 12 YEAR ENG/SCIENCE WINNING STREAK!


Congratulations to the 2008 Arts Prosh Team (fondly named M-ASSpoon is too big!) for their magical 810 point win! For those of you unfamiliar with Prosh, a close win is usually considered to be several thousand points, so every incredible prosh-ite who helped out is well deserving of their victory! Well done guys!

Are you pumped for M-ASS shenanigans in O-WEEK?

Cannot wait! I'm wetting myself with excitement!
Maybe. Only if it involves capes and goon.
Are you serious? University has an O-Week?
South Lawn shall feel my wrath!
No. I'm too busy playing Assassin's Creed 2.
