Oldest running joke or grudge on the boneyard?

[RichZ]

What no Turkey Vultures? What of Baby bunnies meeting their demise on Deepster's lawn?
Love potion anyone?

I think the Turkey Vulture reference started with CTO, when one perched on the window outside her downstate office. She'd never seen one before, and wondered what a buzzard would be doing in CT.

How long has been "Doooomed" been a joke. And how many more titles do we have to win til we're not doomed

"I get the hat AND the ..?"

That was Aussie Cuz in 1999 - and wasn't it on TV once?

That followed on the heels of "Kevin Freeman was high school teammates with Tim Thomas" in the category of tid-bits we heard on every single telecast. "Elephant in your head" came from an Al Maguire game referring to Ricky's defense, but that one faded with time.

Ricky's father was a caddy at Augusta.......


As for yardiisms:

I found the Boneyard just a few days after 3/29/99.

The 3 big jokes at the time:

*BeneDuke selling his soul for a chance at a pizza
*Revrat saying in the chat room, right after the Langdon travel, that he wanted to have Ricky's baby
*Cuz: "I get the ball...and the hat?!?!"

There was some type of award with oak clusters and filigree that one of the posters used to bestow upon those most worthy. I think zymurg and Deepster were awarded ones; can't remember the others. There may have been two versions of the award. I think the poster was Dr. Dos.

I have brought this into the chatroom more recently and got no recognition from the newer generation of chatters....too bad, classic line that could have gotten a lot of use describing Boat's defense in the NCAA tourney.

The filigree!!

You know what's a long since forgotten Boneyard item?

The rivalry with UMass and the b-ball.com rivalry board. As hard as it might be to believe? Their fans once thought their program was better than ours and were very, very boisterous in letting us know. They crashed our boards from time to time and there was actually some maniac on their board who really threatened some people on ours.

Well....we see how that whole mess worked out for the both of us.

Oh, I remember. UMFan? "Craigy"?

It really is true. Nothing dies on the internet.

A picture of Dogfather in a bra was for some reason going around back in the day.

 

[Thirty Three]

Okie Eric! We had a classic photo of him, but I can't find it on any of my hard drives.

I know I have it on my old pc. I may have to try and dig it up.

Not as long ago as some of the others but 2005, "Shoo shoo orange flu" was a cute way to get under the skin of CTO and the orange folk.

That wasn't a cute anything. It was a cluster f u c k of bad mojo (with bronze filigree!). Deep didn't miss often, but that was a miss. Was Jason that same year, or was that a separate mojo abomination?

The Haiku mojo was even worse I think.

 

[Peacefrog]

Lots of good ones here. For a while there were references to, I think it was Cozy Shack, pudding or something along those lines. I never knew the genesis of that particular one.

 

[David 76]

Thanks everyone for filling us in. I now know why you so often bring up Israeli layers!

 

[UConner]

I totally forgot about the woodchipper. That is a really long time ago.

My grad lab mate at UConn ended up at the State Police Crime Lab running chemistry equipment. He cracked the case after checked the tooth remains from her. She was from Denmark and they used different amalgams in Europe than here. He picked it up and that was that "killing evidence.

 

[jleves]

Has nobody mentioned the Dairy Barn and ice cream causing recruits to commit?

For the record - none of this should ever be documented in one place (kind of like this thread - but the thread will fade). It should be something people have to figure out as they go along. It's part of the mystique of the Boneyard.

It's gotta be the envy people have of Duke?

The bad mojo led to UConn losing an awful game to NC State but let us not forget what happened two nights earlier in that same gym.

At least the haiku sentence made dog mania shorten his novels. Something positive came out of it.

Cto took her ball and went home after the shoo shoo sentence. That was a crash and burn tourney .
