Brisbane Boys College Junior School Quiz night was on Saturday night. Funny. Imagine 200 normally sensible, socially responsible adults turning up kitted out in Olympic themed outfits to sit and answer inane questions about, well, just about anything useless and impractical! There was much food, too much wine and some spectacularly ridiculous outfits. And I think it fair to say that Grade 2 K parents - the Jamaican Bobsled Team were the most ridiculous.
That would be a picture of quite normal people - a Dentist, a Barrister, a CEO and a former Wallaby,oh and a Miffy, but what happens when you dress people up in a theme and give them a few vinos, yes silly - they go silly. Mihaela looks like a cheap Ho, I look like a pasty white rasta granny - and the others - well just ridiculous.
It was heaps of fun. Mihaela (that would be the one and same Dr Petrou - and I had made bags and bags and bags of fake marijuana consisting of a lovely mix of parsley and camomile tea. We rolled and rolled rolled 100s of parsley spliffs.
These Performance Enhancing Drugs were handed out far and wide on Saturday night! There were a number of tables who went as the Drug Testers - which suited us and our fake Jamaican hooch well!
Darryl actually has a 1976 Australian Team Track suit - and he loved to tell people how he got it - and how it still fits! He was in the 1983 Australian Team at the Hot Air Balloon World Cup (yes he was 12 at the time *wink*) and the team got leftover Aussie 76 Olympic trackies. Very retro in 2008.
That would be Mark and I doing a fake drug deal. Evidence Mark, evidence...
The only downer of the night was that we didn't win the best dressed table. Now we had the most ridiculous looking people - I think a prerequisite for a fancy dress prize - we had reggae music blaring from our boom box, we had fake dope, incense, snowball marshmallows and who could forget our bobsled... But not good enough. Beaten by a bunch of 70s dressing badminton players.Robbed!
That just could be Sean's Dreadlocks... He looked the part with his boombox and joint.
Another bobsled pic. Darcy is well impressed with Mihaela's box collage! Darcy is if you recall the queen of box collage.
The highlight for me was Hugo. I laughed myself silly - his bouncy afro wig and Puma running pants - well, what do you think? Those pants are a worry - he owned those before the night...
Fake spliffs in mouth. Seriously going for a fake bobsled run. Ridiculous... Grown men - really.
Eva and Hugo having a ride on the sled. Now, here is my favourite pic of the night... Kinda blurry - laughing far too much...
This was the Me Too card. Featuring Aussie Prime Minister Mr Krazy Kev Rudd who having never had an original useful idea in memory inspired the card tables could pay $20 to use to gain as many points as the School Principal's table on a topic about - the school Principal!!
There was also a Prize auction and silent auction. Great fun. I bid here, I bid there. Heck I even bid on a Camper van for 7 days in New Zealand. There were no airfares included but that didn't seem to matter on the night! Phew - lucky for me I was not the winner. I think that van may well have become my home!
But what happened when they read out the winning bids on - a telescope, a beauty package and a piece of jewellry. Yep - me - I was the winner. Which meant Darryl Breadwinner Stuart was the loser!!! Auction Slag is my new name! But I think that even though the telescope is not the Hubble it shall be really nice for Jack. The beauty pack and the jewellry will be lovely too... So glad I didn't have to pay for the Campervan prize too....
Last but not least, here is Belinda, Grade 2 Ks teacher in her new Madebymiffy apron! I also donated a custom apron in the auction as a prize.
Oh - there is a Badminton player in the background - the winners of the best dressed table. Robbed I say!!
YOU kill me with all your silly things. really laughed so hard thought I was going to bust.!! you are fun.. wish all the fun was here. and BTW Cops is my favorite show. AND I saw these guys that sing bad boys when i was hot looking and 25.. ahhh the memories..
