At this point, my mind drifts away to the man boob jokes, the excessive porn-age I've been forced to listen to, tofu burger wagers on the footy attendance, and paying out the white boys who don't do bubble tea.

P.S. I've only recently realised I've got a lot of 'Simon Says'. I shall make a formal introduction of this mysterious Simon person at the end of this semester : )
