The True Spirit of Boxing Day

Many people have wondered; What is this 'Boxing Day' and why do we get the day off from work for an event for which historians can't even agree on a source?

Well, the answer is here, ladies and gentlemen. The true spirit of Boxing Day is making costumes out of cardboard boxes and beating the shit out of other people who have done the same.


The Dalek actually snuck up behind Bender. It was surprisingly nimble.




There were about five or ten Benders but this one was the most intricate. S/he was also holding a beer for much of the day.

What these people don't know is that it's a chick inside the costume. Somehow all of us were surprised when the mask was violently removed and we saw that.




I was quite impressed by the guy on the left and he didn't even have half his costume on. His full costume is in the next picture.




I only just realised that that guy is dressed as Voltron. Awesome.


This costume was absolutely brilliant. He was also a good tactician in the battle; holding back until most people had fallen apart and then running in to the fray.








Battle to the death!



So, for those of you whose timezones are still in Boxing Day (which is everyone in the world, at least for the next half hour), go out and get some boxes, grab some friends and kick some arse.

I hate tourists that expect to see kangaroos walking/crawling/hopping/bounding down the streets.

THEY DON'T!

What, you mean the time it took me to type 'Caulfield Park' in to Google Maps (with a firefox search shortcut, I might add), zoom in a bit, click the 'Share' button and copy-paste the embed code? Like, all of 30 seconds?

Yeah, I have that much free time.
