Disclaimer: This biography contains the condensed version of the life of Jason Chong so far. It contains gratuitous use of the third person, for credibility reasons.

Jason was born in a manger on a starry night. In those days, however, a manger was another name for the Ashford hospital maternity ward. The starry night in question as that of was April the 1st, the year was 1980. This is a fact that has haunted Jason for his entire lifetime, and although his friends and colleagues mock him,it gives them no excuse for ever forgetting his birthday.

Due to Jason believing he was a parrot for most of his childhood years, he developed a liking for Bi Lo's six seed mix. As the law required at the time, Jason was shipped off to the Ballara Park Kindy, where he used to play superman in a wooden boat,and was constantly afraid of the psycho kid with the black eye.

After his year at kindy, Jason relocated up the road to Christ the King School. Not being much of a Christian, Jason's fondest memories include the song about the snail that he used to sing, learning to write, winning the inter-school dress up day, where he dressed up as Peter Pan or Robin Hood (details are sketchy due to an ongoing alcohol abuse problem) using only a garbage bag and a wooden sword, and chasing an older kid so that he could hit him in the nuts. Sad memories includef alling off the see-saws on his first day and biting through his bottom lip, losing the teddy bear's picnic, cracking his head on the play equipment,the medieval day where his mum dressed him up as a mouse, when he really wanted to go as a knight and wetting his pants on two separate occasions.

This stint only lasted a year, and with this in mind, approximately a year later, he found himself in year 1 at Westminster School. Thanks must go to Mrs. Ironmonger, and her mysterious creature, the Regnomnori. Brief highlights of the dozen or so years at Westminster include many friends and many good times. Sometimes these became interrelated. More details of these highlights can be found in Jason's autobiography,"Jason", published in 1998 by Dribble Books, Adelaide. One that must be mentioned, however, was Jason being published in the "Advertiser", where he wrote about the Grand Prix. Lines of note include "I liked the wine fight,"and one from another bloke (you know who you are) who stated "Keke Rossburg blew up."

Things to go in the resume include representing his house at speech day, coming third in the sprints in year 7, and getting the consistent scores of 2 out, 2 out and 2 not out in house cricket. During this time he cemented his spot as right full back in the soccer team, and in year 12 he was finally eligible for the first XI soccer team. He was promptly benched. On the subject of year 12, he fondly remembers organising a highly successful karoke night for his fellow twelfth year comrades,(for which the school captain received excessive and undue credit for) successful house quizzes, and winning the year 12 relay (with the help of some hang-ons), the last event on the 1997 athletics day calendar. Haircuts of note during his school life include the rats tail, "the wave" the absence of an identifiable haircut and the "monchichi." Much of these 12 years were spent outside the deputy head's office, book down the back of the trousers style.

Currently in his 3rd and final year of university, he will soon be a certified Bachelor of Marketing person. How this will help him in the future is anyone's guess.

Recently discharged from Glenside Mental Institution, with an infrequent use of the so-called "inverted commas" Jason is once again ready to face the world. This time, someone should remind him to put on some pants.

One final word: Whenever you are feeling downhearted, remember there is always someone who you are better than something at. (Like sentence construction)

And you've just read his bio.

Jacko

In the worlds before Jacko, primal chaos reigned. Heaven sought order, but the phoenix can fly only when it's feathers are formed. The four worlds formed again and again, as endless eons wheeled and passed. Time, and the pure essences of heaven, the power of the sun and the inebriating effect of Cooper's Draught all worked upon a certain rock, old as the Bee-Gees. And it became magically fertile. That first egg was named Disco. Tougher than a Bee-Gee, the Trammps said "Burn baby burn, Disco Inferno." The fact that it had to go to work caused the egg to hatch. From it then came a Stone Jacko. The nature of Jacko was... DEAD SEXY!

Born in Adelaide somewhere, on or about nineteen seventy something, was Craig "Arrested for Treason" Jackson. Growing up in the quiet neighbourhood of Somewhereville, Craig managed in his early years to be responsible for over $70,000 in property damage to government buildings, the renaming of Rhodesia to "Zimbabwe", the dismissal of Gough Whitlam as Prime Minister,the creation of Rundle Mall, the 1988 Seoul Olympics, Depeche Mode, 3 referendums,2 Bi-elections and a partridge being stuck up a pear tree.

At the tender age of between 1-10, Craig caught the radio bug, but was consequently convinced by the Government to release it from hostage conditions in a plea bargain involving several thousand previously unreleased "Nena" vinyls. Never one to let the law or common sense stop him, Craig continued to write about himself in the third person.

With a infectious personality, much like Ebola, and stunning looks, much like Tony Danza, Craig has spent much of his life in the attention of the opposite sex. Unfortunately the 1984 amendments to the restraining order act severely curtailed this pastime, and resulted in a prison tattoo and a new found appreciation for "Soap on a Rope". Again, not to let a stumbling block get in his way, Craig stopped completely.

With film credits including "Caught on Camera II" and "Worlds Drunkest Ram-Raids IV", Craig is well known to the local populace and federal police. Preferring to spend his time in a germ free chamber wearing tissue boxes for shoes, Craig has accumulated the worlds largest collection of toe fungi. His pastimes include nude twister, nude trivial pursuit, nude pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey and nude Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Craig lists his ambitions as one day being allowed back on the board of the G8, restoring Mother Russia to a Superpower, Partial Nuclear Disarmament, and re-uniting the Spice Girls with Ginger.

Our Mates

This is a list of people and bits and pieces to whom we should extend gratitude.

John Murch: Murchie presents Emanation, which will be airing over the summer. For all you late night/early morning people. this is ideal for you. That's another way of saying Murchie got the graveyard shift. And why is that? Because no one hour show can contain the radio genius of Murchie. so Radio Adelaide gave him 5. Also the recent ex-leader of the happy band of Student Radio warriors, smiling in the face of adversity, never shy to do a guest spot or ask for your running sheet 2 minutes before the show, when you still haven't done one. Onya Murchie. Onya. Here is Murchie's Homepage .

The Blue Men of Kentucky: The Blue Men are on air some other time, check your local guides. I'm not sure why we're thanking them, they've done squat for us, but Jacko's little brother is in it, and he'll cry if we don't mention him.
