Editorial
So I heard there is going to be a zom-
bie apocalypse this wednesday night,
pfff, I bet it will just be like that Mayan
thing, all the hype none of the pay
off. Just in case though I have a few
zombie survival tips for you all.
1. It’s not necrophilia if they’re trying to
eat your brains.
2. Be selective about the zombies you
kill, as there might be a cure for the
infection in the future it would be a
damn shame if you whacked all the
cute ones.
3. Seek out and find a bunch of peo-
ple with good survival skills, such as
being able to write with both hands,
pitching a tent, being Bear Grylls, hav-
ing no emotion when throwing some-
one to the zombies as a decoy so the
rest of the group can survive, likes the
taste of dog or cat food, smells good
even after weeks of not showering.
4. Just stay in and watch a movie.
5. I know you might have heard good
things about zombie bites, I must ad-
mit there is a certain allure, a sensual
attraction, a mysterious yet danger-
ous appeal, no wait sorry that’s
just me thinking about Twilight again,
nevermind.
6. Always run with scissors, you never
know when you might run into a
zombie.
There you have it, hope you all take
on my advice and stay safe this
Wednesday, (if anything even hap-
pens). Remember if you see a zombie
walking over the hill, they are prob-
ably not really a zombie, although it
gets harder and harder to tell the lon-
ger the night goes on and the more
they drink.
I think just avoid all contact with mov-
ing things in the night.

Eating Out In WaggaThe Fatmans guide to the culinary delights that is food that won’t kill you in Wagga
From a man who has eaten in every city in Australia at some of the best Hamburger Take Aways, Pub Feeds, and Chinese and Indian etc restaurants that can be found. These are my picks for Wagga’s best offerings
Take away
Closest to Uni is the Island View Take away, go the hamburger with the lot.
Chinese
Next to the Farmers Home Hotel in Fitzmaurice street the Doo Duck Inn, serve a nice vegetarian fried rice.
Indian
Indian Tavern Tandoori Restaurant. The butter chicken is really good as it doesn’t burn your face of when you eat it and their Naan bread is
always nice and fresh.
Pub Meals
I’ve eaten at every Pub in Wagga and this does depend on which chef is working at the time as the chefs do tend to move about a bit.
The Vic. They know how to cook and rest a steak but salads are a little small though
The Duke. Get the Duke Burger it’s a great meal for a good price
Romanos. Do a nice Beer battered fish.
The Outsiders
There’s also one other place that I don’t mind frequenting now and again either.
Coolamon (the bottom) Pub. Recently put on a new chef and she makes a cracking Parmy with steamed veggies.

The Social Sport Report
The Social Sport Report
Social sport started off with a bang for the year! With 30 teams split into 2 pools, Gemma Carey and Amelia Ansell, who are the co-ordinators for social sport this year, had their hands full organis-ing everything for the first round of Social sport. Evidently, from the copious amounts of skill, enthusi-asm, competition and bulk enjoy-ment had, the two did a great job organising the first round as it ran smoothly and they should be highly commended on their ef-forts.
There were some clear standouts in team performances, who domi-nated in either soccer or netball, as well as some teams that, well, weren’t quite ‘In the zone’, but don’t let that get your sprits down, as there is still many weeks left of social sport to get everyone team tactics ironed out. Here are the results for the first round of social sport.

Easy Baking
Easy baking: MAKE YOUR OWN YUMMY EASTER TREATS
CHOCALATE EASTER CRACKLES (Makes 20 crackles) Ingredients: 200g Mars bars (chopped) 2 tablespoons thin cream 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (sifted) 3 cups Rice Bubbles 20 small chocolate Easter eggs (to decorate)
Method: Place the Mars bars, thin cream and cocoa in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (making sure bowl does not touch the water). Stir until mixture is melted and smooth. Place Rice Bubbles in a large bowl and pour in Mars bar mixture and stir until well combined. Heap mixture into paper or foil cases and decorate each crackle with an Easter egg. Place in the fridge until firm to serve.
CHOCOLATE NESTS (Makes 8 nests) Ingredients: 200g milk or dark chocolate melts (melted) 100g red glace cherries (quartered) 2 tablespoons pistachio kernels (chopped) 2 tablespoons roasted unsalted peanuts (chopped) 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (chopped roughly) 200g milk chocolate (melted) 1/2 cup shredded coconut 8 mini chocolate Easter eggs
Method: Using the back of a spoon, coat 8 holes of an 8cm x 6cm (1/4 cup-capacity) egg shaped mould with melted melts, reserving 1 tablespoon chocolate (use later for attaching mini eggs). Refrigerate moulds for 20 minutes until set. Combine cherries, pistachios, peanuts, marshmallows, milk chocolate and 2 tablespoons of coconut in a bowl. Spoon mixture into the moulds and lightly press down with the back of spoon. Top with remaining coconut, and then refrigerate for 30 minutes until set. Carefully remove eggs from moulds. Use reserved chocolate to attach mini eggs to tops, and serve.
TIPS * Use your favourite type of chocolate (dark, milk or white)
and nuts to create your own special recipe twist.
* Melt chocolate easily by placing it in a microwave safe bowl, and then setting it on high for 1-2 minutes. Stir with a metal spoon every 30 seconds until chocolate is melted and smooth.

Over a cup of tea this
morning, I heard about my
cousin, she’s very unhappy,
depressed and a possible
suicide-watch case. This
makes me sad. But more
than anything it makes me
want to reach out to help.
To drag her away on some
kind of adventure – to feel
alive again!
In a personal crisis what do
you do?
Sometimes people wallow.
Sometimes people run.
I run! And a few years ago
that’s what I did. I didn’t like
the idea of my university
course. Didn’t have a job.
Didn’t have a career I was
interested. Friends seemed
unimportant and my family
were getting tired of my
‘lost’ state.
So I did it. I ran. But in a
different way. I booked a
cargo ship from Brisbane to
Singapore. Spent my sav-
ings on a nice bike (touring-
style). Did a little research
on cycle touring Malaysia
and printed of a blog by
someone who had recorded
their trip.
I made a plan. Plan A: Cycle
from Singapore up the east
coast of Malaysia. If I made
it: Great! I’d figure out what
to do next.
Plan B: If I realised I didn’t
like cycling I’d post my bike
home and continue back-
packing.
So on the eve of my 22nd
birthday I boarded a cargo
ship, joining a crew of 23 men as
the sole passenger onboard. I had
no experience cycling over 15km
and I didn’t know how to fix a flat
tyre.
Today, I’m trying to write an es-
say for a subject – PKM230 - The
Social Psychology of Risk. To
date I’ve had to watch a bunch of
videos of people doing crazy stuff
– extreme kayaking, heli-delivered
mountain skiers, bull riders getting
slammed and free-solo rock climb-
ers dangle off a rock face, hun-
dreds of meters from the ground
and no rope! Puts my little adven-
ture into perspective.
The advantage of studying this is
the process of questioning why
we do risky and dangerous things.
And also looking into the defini-
tion of adventure. There’s no doubt
risk, danger and adventure are truly
personal.
There seems to be an interesting
link between stricter laws and rules
around safety and an increase in
people doing more extreme and
dangerous recreational activities.
Just look at the increased inter-
ested in mountain biking, rock
climbing, adventure holidays and
we could even include the ‘hoons’
partaking in urban drag-racing.
Being involved in any of these high
risk activities require participants
to have intense focus, it will often
cause an increase in adrenaline
and dopamine. The result equals a
natural highs. So it’s not surprising
that people seek increasing risk
and danger. Possibly to the point of
addiction.
I’m sitting here numb from assign-
ments and the other obligations
of the modern world (work, house-
hold duties, social commitments,
etc). I can’t help reminiscing of my
adventures. It’s making me realise
that I haven’t been seeking the
mini-adventures of everyday/week
that give me my adrenaline, dopa-
mine, endorphin – whatever – pick
me up.
The result of not running, cycling,
etc is that I feel awful – the oppo-
site of a high – depressed. And I’m
not alone. The rates of depression
and suicide are increasing.

My mother thinks that I’m just ‘one of
those people’ that has to exercise a lot.
But I think it’s a human thing. So many
people are living in the numbness, the
boredom, the sedentary nadir of mod-
ern convenience. Just like my cousin
– she’s numb – numb in the pins and
needles painful way. The only way to
stop it is to get up and get active.
I think I’ll email her today and tell her
that – maybe even invite her out on an
adventure.
Think I shall take my own medicine
and get outdoors into this beautiful
Autumnal weather.
Oh and how’d I go on my Malaysia
trip. Great! I made it up the east coast,
crossed into Thailand and met two
amazing Aussie who were also cy-
cling. Saw many islands, animals, jun-
gles. I totalled 4000km - many up and
downs - physically and mentally!
I finished my trip on a high. I cycled up
and around Thailand’s highest moun-
tain Doi Inthanon.
Was it an adventure? – Yes! And in the
lull of domesticity I’m always planning
the next bigger and better adventure.
The trick is to get out and do it!
What’s your definition of adventure?
What’s your next adventure?

Secretarial Spiel
A special information series for those new
to university.
This weeks second in our series is WHY
DON’T PEOPLE TALK TO ME!??!
So you’ve been here for two or three weeks,
Saint Pats Day was a blast and you’ve
worked out which lecturers are droids and
which are human GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!
There is however a pressing question on
your mind, that chick or guy you met last
week doesn’t seem to want to talk to you
all that much. Hmmm what could be the
problem, Im showering and wearing de-
odorant like Im still just into to my early
teens. The shock suddenly hits you when
you throw a big pearly smile at the mirror
AAAAAAHHHHHHAHAHHAHAHHH-
HHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!! WHAT HAPPENED
TO MY TEETH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahh Yes the science experiment that you
didn’t even know your conducting in your
mouth has come to fruition. Your mouth
looks like someone has taken a green
highlighter to it and your breath smells like
Yak urine. Those of us who have spoken
to you as the days have gone by are now
avoiding you so that we don’t have our frea-
kin eyebrows burnt off every time you open
your food hole.
Its only been three weeks and you already
have the nickname “skunk mouth” even
the person (chick or guy) that you hooked
up with at Saint Pats night is still using cat
pee as mouth wash because it tastes 100
times better than tonguing you after 4 jugs
of cider.
at home You’re NOT
So how do you get rid of the monster mouth?
Well you could try cleaning your teeth more than
once a week or for crying out loud eat a bloody
apple or a carrot!
Dental health is important I know people who
haven’t looked after their teeth when they where
say in undergrad and now when they give talks
in classes, lecture, or present at conferences the
whole thing is shot because everyone walks out
and says “Did you get a load of that guys chop-
pers?”
We hope that you’ll enjoy the next “Your not at
home anymore” which will be on social graces or
THAT’S RIGHT! YOUR OPINION DOESNT MAT-
TER ANYMORE!!!!
