Freshly Cut Grass
O Sir Omnivorious Editor,
Here at Vic we have to queue continuously for our food. I now wish to join the queue for complaints about said food. That's me, third from the end bent over, chundering.
The system of having frankfurters and so forth in the cafe, and chips and what not up two flights of stairs, is absurd and inconvenient.
The "Hamburgers" served in the Burger Bar resemble food as much as David Lange resembles a ballet dancer. Errrgh!
But my greatest grumble (apart from my stomach) is the so called "Restaurant". It should be renamed the "Sheep Pen Food Trough"! I felt like some sort of farm animal, sitting there chewing on freshly cut grass and lupin seeds, garnished with barley and oats. If I want a feed at varsity I want some bloody meat. Surely the two services, food and farm feed, could be combined.
Yours in hunger,
A Carnivore
PS If in extreme hunger, try eating Salient. That is what is called; 'Reader's Digest'.
If you do, I hope it chokes and poisons you, and the ink blackens your bum.
Ed.
