After receiving a TER of 89, McDowd barely qualified to take a course at the Adelaide University called "Hobonomics." The course was very unpopular but challenging. After completing a BA in "Hobonomics," he went on to apply for a Ph.D. in the same field. The future that followed soon after was not so bright. McDowd spent endless nights drinking cheap hooch, lying in shallow gutters and shouting at passers-by, "DA GUBERMENT STOLE MAH TEEF!!" Everything was going down hill until McDowd met the love of his life Butch McDyke.
