Kiri Morris FOREST'S MULLET MOOT
REPORT The Final standings put them well clear of a Korrahill/4th Wollongong Team, Razorback and Kissing Point. The moot started early for Chucky and Michelle, as they travelled down early on Friday afternoon getting to the moot site at about 6pm. The road in was "interesting" and we were quite thankful to be travelling in the daylight. When we arrived, we found the Epping guys there, but nonone else yet,. so we had the pic of the spots. We proceeded to put up out Marquis, Drining Fly nd Tents and inflate the pool. As the night moved on, more people arrvied starting at about 7 or so with arrival of the gys from Wollongong. The balance of the crew was to met at 7pm at the Hall, but apparently time took over and they arrived at the moot site at about 1:30am. one of the last to arrive, but when they arrvied they found the site alreay set up. Getting up in the mmorning, we found that Gusbo had brought the BBQ but no hose for the gas. This led to us borrowing Mona Vale's heat and cmobining Lunch and Breakfast later in the day. The morning Round robin was good, with many and varied activities, I must say I've never urinated at a moot before in broad daylight. Carrying horseshoes was fun as was walking bliind, the arty side came out as we painted a bogan. All dressed in our Forest Flannos (from Bushdance 2003) we had a god morning and thought we did OK. Michelle was dressed to kill as MA with baby on board and matching accessory shotgun. Lunch came and went and the gut was refilled. The arvo's activities were grouse with ballon games and the like. Then came the sav hunt, with its weirdness of nipplerings, donuts, porno mags and gusbo wearing too little clothing. We did OK and had most of the list. Anyway, then to frock up for the B&S, not much frocking was done, but dinner was soon upon us and the crew stratched for a while. A nice meal with fair chunks of meat and veggies and some realy "interesting" No Frills Mustard. The Scorebaord showed "Korragong" leading followed by Kissing Pint and Brush Park with us a distant 6th. Then to the tent for Trivia. An interesting lot of questions, many quirky and the multiple choice stuff seemed more like multiple guess!!! Kissing Point won the trivia with 24 out of 40(?) The curious thig about the night was the number of Forest teams entered, you had to make sure you got the right sheet back. Then came Dessert of sticky date pudding which was great though may cause conceren ad give a living to Dentists for many a year to come... Then the DJ cranked it up and a fire was started and people settled in for a night of fun, Davebo help with preeedings by reallocating some of the warm water from drums to people's clothing. All in all the night was good and many a good hangover seemed to be had. I got up about 8:30ish and woke up the crew in preparation for our favourite event - The Iron Gut - or Roadkill breakfast as it was being called. We postponed our Crew breakfast until afterwards, and got frocked up (or down!!) for the feast awaiting. The foods were a really good lot of choices, with Meat pies, Garlic Paste, Buttermilk, Orange Juice, Tabasco Sauce, Youghurt, Twiggy sticks, Sardines, Corn Thins, Bread Rolls and other foods being supplied. All bar one Forest Rover (The Birthday girl) took part with Gut virgin Rowdy givining it a pretty serious shake. Forest finished 1, 2 3 with Chucky, Gusbo and Davebo making up the placings. then to the river to rinse and prepare for some Case carrying and other things. Many came to the conclusion that Gusbo and Chucky shouldn't get in a swag together, let alon swap clothes, let alone without reggies on!!! Anyway, then came the wrestling. The ranks from Forest seemed to swell and the epping wrestling pit took a punishing, from Gusbo disihing out wedgies to chucky and Garth Nagle power wrestling. it was great, the only problem was that the power wrestling took its toll on the pit and it busted leading to an end of proceedings. Then to the river again to clean up, dry up and get ready for closing parade. Closing parade was agood with lots of announcements and a Happy birthday song. The moot was finished and everyone started to make the long journey home. WELL almost everyone. Forest stayed for a relaxing arvo of Crew chat and Skin prep as well as fixing some mullets with clippers, napping and just general recovery from a big moot. Johnny Williams came over at one stage just before Epping left to say that the warden said we could stay the night if we wanted at no extra charge!!! Either way, we eventually left at about 7pm and travelled out on the long windy road toward home. We stopped at Phesants Nest for some "Dinner" and realised why we don't usually stop there, the food was at best orindary and made th Iron gut of the earlier part of the day look real appetising. Anyway, we got back to the
hall, packed up and were general home by 11 or so. And that is about all I have to say about that. Chucky
