hey here are some photos i took from NZ when i went over there for their Nationals early this year. I posted em last week but didnt mention it on this forum... its probably not of much interest to non-aussies/nzers but i thought, 'hey its a tournie, why not'
theres some pics of Chad in there for extra incentive hahaha
sorry for the low quality, they are scanned from the original prints, and are in gif form to keep the size down

Enjoy!

Antiquing seems to be a New Zealand tradition; id never heard of it before i went there. There had been some discussion over the weekend about the idea, but it all went down when a bunch of shredders came back after a night of partying and were still a bit hyped up, it was about 3 or 4am i guess. The flour was bought from a convenience store, the target was previously identified and his location scouted out, and the rest is history hahahaha
the perpetrators bolted back to another room downstairs in histerics, and tried to hide there in silence hahaha
it was pretty damn funny

in the good quality photo you can see the flour all in his hair and ears and all

Simon is shown on the floor outside his room after a night of Jim Beam and beer drinking. He started pretty early in the evening i think, so unfortunately he dipped out early too. I wont say much more to save him any further embarassment

I've been antiqued before... It feels really, really weird. At first you don't know what's going on. You wake up and, in my case, you look at the people who did it to you in confusion. Except, it's even more confusing because something just doesn't feel -quite- spot on. Then you realize through their laughter that something's been done to you. Invariably, you'll go and look in a mirror, wipe it off, and for the rest of the day your sinuses will feel terrible. Being antiqued sucks.
