KIRILL INVESTIGATES: Knock Knock. Who’s there? Tens and tens of drunk people who want to drink alcohol and flip kitchen implements in your garage. Not funny is it? No. But it happens often at my house. Every Thursday I descend from my pedestal and partake in alcohol with the unwashed masses (boy, don’t I sound condescending). Regardless – let’s investigate! First and foremost, it must be said that this topic was chosen out of necessity. Kirill missed the Bums, Tums & Thighs class he was going
intuitive, but then again so is everything else I have ever done while under the influence. Somehow, my garage became something of a congregation point for international folk. They like to gather in masses and throw balls into cups, forcing each other to drink, much to the jubilation of onlookers. When everyone has consumed enough ball-tainted beer (teehee!!!) the Germans stop speaking their Sauerkraut tongue to each other and it is demanded that “flip cup” be played.
with one person drinking the cups contents (spit, beer, pills and spiders), then balancing the cup on the table edge and trying to flip it so it lands on its end... and not fall over again. Upon this achievement the next person drinks. This continues until one team wins. See, just like some kind of ale-swilling, kitchen-smashing, drunk-fest. The games continue to alternate between flip cup and Beer Pong. Eventually the garage fills up with cigarette smoke and empty
to attend on Tuesday, and as such had to improvise. Let’s hope he makes sense with this one, and makes it on time to the class next time. People like games. People like drinking. People don’t particularly like Thursdays or musty cobwebbed garages with no insulation. But when you throw the first two into the last, you get good times. This may seem counter-
Imagine if a Viking and a stereotypical plate smashing Greek man were to have a baby. Imagine that this child came to be a frat boy. Imagine his nightly rituals. Somewhere in there you probably created flip cup. Line up people on both sides of a picnic table, in team like formations. Now place beer in a plastic up in front of each person (warning: Rohypnol spiking reaches a peak at this point). The game starts
bottles. Various other activities soon take place. Burlesque competitions are common. Accidentally locking one’s self in the bathroom seems to be a favorite. Political discussion, literature evaluation, opinion inspection and art critique are generally not encouraged as we are at university and such activities have no place here.

WHAT ON EARTH IS AN EPOA? An enduring power of attorney is a formal document giving someone the power to act for you if you loose the capacity to make decisions for yourself. There are two types of EPOAs – one for your money and property and one for your personal care and welfare. You can appoint more than one attorney for your money and property but only one for your personal care and welfare. EVERYONE – young and old – should establish an EPOA ‘just in case’ you may need it one day. There is a lot of information on the internet about EPOAs but you must seek legal advice and have your signature witnessed by a lawyer, legal executive or trustee corporation employee and the EPOA will have to be on a specific form. The University branch of Citizens Advice Bureau can give you information about the implications of this or other important documents. They have heaps of pamphlets and a huge database to help answer anyone’s questions. Visit them at the Cowshed from 1pm – 3pm daily during semesters or phone 8384466 extn 6622 or 0800FORCAB.
