Ah, the B&S Bundy War. What a night! Sweet nostalgia...
Anyways, the bundy is short for Bundaberg Rum (my poison of choice and a far-from-the-top Aussie drop) and the war is kinda what happened when you get two thousand country bumpkins (and their utes) together in a paddock and provide them unlimited free rum and beer. Apparently a Bachelor and Spinsters (sp?) Ball is all about getting young people hitched. It works to a degree, i suppose. But for the most part, it's all about catching up with old mates and meeting new people and showering both with whatever drinks are at hand. Hence Bundy War. That night was killer for many reasons, but IIRC, it was the last time they provided full strength rum at such a gig. A pity.
Don't be fooled by my sophisticated appearance in the pic.
That was a five dollar suit (a genuine bargain [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] ) and i photoshopped out the board shorts and thongs. It's traditional to never wear the same attire to more than one B&S Ball. Given the state of anything that's been to a B&S, it's usually pretty easy to conform to tradition. I have post Bundy war pics, but you won't be seeing them here.
