How very Leonard Shelby of you

I recently had coffee with my friend Chris, who had the misfortune to attend a conference on the Gold Coast in the midst of Schoolies. The streets lined with drunken 17 year olds, it was not the tropical getaway that might be envisioned. 

Schoolies is an opportunity for the kids to cut loose. And good on them. We all know someone who has woken up missing half an eyebrow because they passed out before their friends. I know people who've gotten pierced or inked after several too many drinks. Tattoo artists must love the ridiculous things drunk people decide to mark on their bodies. Such as the boy Chris saw at the coast who had tattooed on his shoulder "Schoolies 08". 

Evidently it had been such a big week for this guy that without a permanent reminder he may have forgotten he'd been there.
