Operation

Timott and Bricks were left standing on the porch of The Bach Pad.
The Bach Pad was the most notorious party house that side of Ballarat. Everyone one on campus wanted to be invited to the parties that went on there each weekend - and all through the holidays. Bach Pad members got instant admission. What's more, they could bring along four friends to any party - so Bach Pad members were never short of friends. As first-year arts students, Timott and Bricks had decided that the surest path to popularity was through Bach Pad membership. The only thing was neither of them could afford the exorbitant fee.
Bricks, who had been born with a third eye, had considered selling it on eBay* in order to raise the money. However, he had quickly forgotten about the idea after being distracted by badgerbadgerbadger.com.

It had turned out that perhaps Bricks wouldn't have to auction of his eye anyway. Tash, a seventh-year psych student from their res unit had told Timott about Operation Embryo.
'Operation Embryo?' Timott had said. 'Sound's kinda gross.'
'Yeah,' said Tash, 'It's jus' called that 'cause ya start off with an egg. Eggs have embryos in them.'
It turned out that James Spigott, the guy who'd first given the Bach Pad it's reputation as a party house, had started Operation Embryo back in 1984. As a business student, he'd decided to make a challenge that involved the barter system, and made other students look stupid.
As soon as Tash had finished explaining it to them, Timott had told Bricks, and they'd rushed off, up University Drive, to the Bach Pad to sign up and collect their eggs.

*Trinocular vision is so overrated.
