Today Craig Reucassel came and gave a talk on satirical techniques.
(He and Chris Taylor hosted CNNNN, and he is on "The Chaser Decides" as well)
These are some notes I took. Hope people will find this useful

ps. the words highlighted in blue are some things I'm not so sure about, but I think it doesn't affect the content much.

OMFG? you met Craig Reucassel? what school do you go to? some super rich private school...?

well..*ahem* not that meeting him is THAT big a deal. it's like.. 10 years ago Peter Skrzynecki came to our school to talk about his poems bwaha. And apparently, alot of the stuff students study he'd never thought about.. but some of his poems are still really deep to him.. its just all those metaphors don't quite mean the things the HSC teaches us.

but still, Craig and Chris are funny. heh heh

lol, no, i don't go to a private school, though i'm wondering how much our school paid to get him to come.

Craig and Chris are excellent! And Craig gave an autograph to my friend saying how awesome she is, because he spent 30 mins fixing the projector thing, and it took my friend 15 secs
