And, We're Back. What'd I Miss?

Aaaaand we're back. Miss me?

Scanning the email, it looks like I didn't miss too much while I was away, thanks to a week of rain that knocked YUFL, WUFL and BPL around. But here's what I did miss:

- the new six-team BPL kicked off last Thursday night, with wins to the Old Buggers over Rawhide (obviously missing Tony Ross), Passion over Lovers (score one for lust), and a draw between the Baby Buggers and Dojo Mojo (a good start for Jimmy L's lot).

- Lovefest seems to have gone well on Saturday, with John McNaughton emailing a few details:
A quick wrap-up of the Lovefest tournament that happened this weekend.

On a warm, sunny Saturday, 6 teams presented at UQ for the second annual Lovefest tourney. Most teams played close to savage, and the draw was a full round robin - considering this, the level of play was maintained very well throughout the day.

Booty enjoyed kicking back with a beer as the Griffith Uni Slamtown Giants (their intended last-round opponents) needed to get back to the Gold Coast and party... However, even the departure of half of the Byron crew couldn't stop the remainder from scraping together some pick-ups and playing another game against the Lounge Lizards to cap off the day.

An exhausting last-round match-up between the AUG-bound UQ Lovers and QUTies (where a number of players were cramping mid-game) proved one of the more intense games of the day. We hope that this match practice provides a launching point for all 3 uni teams to play some great frisbee down the Coast next week.

WINNER: UQ Lovers
RUNNERS-UP: Booty
MALE MVP: Tie - Mike Neild (QUT) and Ben "Beej" Blackman (Lizards)
FEMALE MVP: Sarah Sandford (QUT)
SPIRIT: The Pass

- Oh yeah, and before I went on holidays, I sent out my final issue as editor of AU. Hope you got it and enjoyed. I now just have to get it up on the web.

And because you like photos (another one of Roger's):

The Character Find of 2005 (aka AU Quality Control)

So, I'd always wanted to have a comic strip in AU. Problem was I couldn't draw worth a damn. One day I had the idea that I could use the computer to draw some simple pictures - I was sure I could write something reasonably funny, couldn't I?

I'd previously put together a silly poll for AU, and listed a few ideas for cartoon characters - these are refered to below. My favourite I think was 'Wendy Wucks - She Always Hucks', but there was also 'Dud - the Guy Who Doesn't Do Cheers' and 'Adam and His Amazing Skirt', plus a few others.

The result is below, staring Friz B. Disk, and thankfully, after showing it to Pottsy and Leon, its space-filling capacity in the Australian Ultimate Magazine was quickly vetoed.

Nonetheless, thanks to the boundless limits of an internet blog, I can share this amazing badness with you today!
