OT-Boneyard jokes I don't follow

Some things were started in the chat room and were somewhat transferred to the main board, such as "fort the ead." I'm not sure about "scrappy," unless you were thinking about Syracuse who played a "plucky and gritty" game against UConn in 2004, only to lose (I may be linking 2 separate things here, but too bad. Gurleyman or Fishy can correct).

There were giant octopi and a plush husky named Jason who was lynched and stabbed and shot--just too cute to be tolerated.

Yup, it's plucky not scrappy. We drove cuse fans nuts when we called their teams performance gritty and plucky.

Don't forget swamason. A genius creation of fishy and hamster.

Also, I really miss seeing the use of the descriptive qualifier " gin soaked"

Yes, it was Henry that started it. Years ago, someone kept asking when some info would be available - either the schedule or when we'd hear how a recruit's visit went, something like that - and Henry would reply "in 20 minutes". It's your Boneyard standard-issue sarcastic answer for people who either ask questions that no one has the answer for or questions that have been asked 1000 times already.

Other Boneyardisms - "scrappy", Okie Eric, woodchippers, Hanging Judge, and anything related to shark attacks.

I remember woodchippers! It has been quite a while for that one.

We had just beaten Syracuse by 10 or so, and someone posted that they were disappointed that we didn't beat them by more. That notion was silly, I thought, since it was a quality win over a pretty good ranked team on a day we played well. So I posted tongue in cheek that Syracuse was a "scrappy, plucky" little team - the sort of team that can give a good team fits, and they'll probably pull a couple of upsets before it is all said and done. It was just to make fun of the original poster, for treating a 10-point win over Syracuse like it was Binghamton.

SU fans missed the joke and brought the quote back to their board and took all sorts of umbrage. It was pretty funny watching them go on for pages about the arrogance of UConn fans and not knowing the history of the Big East and Dave Bing, etc. Of course, due to my jinx, they won the rematch (I actually forget which year it was - maybe it was a BET game or the regular season finale in 04 with Emeka hurting) and started their own "UConn is a scrappy, plucky" team thing. It might have been 04 since that would have made SU the defending champs and fueling their umbrage at the perceived insult even more.

The scrappy, plucky insults went back and forth for a couple years until it finally died out.

Also, Miami gave us our only loss in 1999, so props to them (more of a chatroom inside joke).

Don't forget "Winning" and the time Dove mowed his lawn during a game because he forgot about it.

At least when I mow I don't lop the scalps off baby bunnies,

And didn't a chick make you go to a winery when the Huskies were playing?

Yeah but he left her on the side of the road naked in the Rockies.

Actually she had taken me to the Napa Valley for the weekend when the Huskies were playing Arizona in Tuscon. Az was ranked 10th and we were 25th. Game went into OT. I had tried to talk my buddy into traveling to Tuscon for the game (he went to grad school there) but he couldn't make it so I went to Napa instead. It was an early game (for west coast standards) so we watched from a sports bar where I kept sucking down bloody marys and trying to convince the bar tender there was no way we could beat them. We were down 5 with 2 minutes to go and then went down 6 in OT before outscoring them 9-1 down the stretch for a 2 point win 100-98. But for the record, I didn't miss the game and she paid for the drinks.

This was the most amazing thread of all time, IMHO. And the worst part was that none of The Boneyard lawyers helped the poor guy.

Wow, I had forgotten all about that thread.

No question, funniest I've ever read on this board.
 
Love potion thread: a poster came on the board asking for help. He had just spent a lot of money on a love potion that was supposed to make a girl love him. Apparently it did not work and he was looking for a Boneyard lawyer or someone to help him find a way to get his money back. Boneyard posters were surprisingly restrained in responding to this. It went on for some time and it was pretty clear that this guy had spent a lot of money....I forget how much, $1500? Someone help me here. Anyway, he was in a pretty desperate place. The next day, he posted that he was drunk and had just made the whole thing up as a joke. Yeah, right. You had to be there to see it develop and play out....the Boneyard was pretty well stunned and the self-control was admirable.

If I did not remember this correctly, please amend. It was hard to believe it was happening at the time.

no, it was never 15 minutes as far as I recall. I might have been 25 minutes, though.

It was 25 minutes. And I'm such a purist I actually get mad when people say 20 minutes.

I think I was in the chat room when "Fort the ead!" started.

I am a huge fan of "Thank you for your interest in UConn Basketball." Best troll repellent; it really gets under their skin.

That came out of the Rules listed by Letitcia Basketballdridge. Someone posted how you should properly reply to people trolling and it gave a bunch of scenarios and the proper response to each. I loved that post.

Remember we had a chat room where you could pick a color for your text? That had to be '99.

The rules post was actually a compilation of another thread.

Somewhere, I have a file with that thread, the pictures of the Quarry Ridge golf cart crash and a few other things.

suzy-q gets the nod for planting the first seed.

She made some comment about how her office mates had a comment at the ready, for when someone made a clearly over the top comment, something like, "Well, that certainly is an interesting perspective."

Back in those days (I place it somewhere around 1996), anyone could post under any name they wanted, so I built on that comment, added a slew of others, invented "Leticia Basketballdridge" (you youngsters may want to google up Leticia Baldridge for context) and threw it out there. I kept everyone in the dark about who was actually posting under the Leticia handle, until someone else waded in and started making competing posts.

We were locked into what was passing for a death spiral of smack talk with some real doozies back then. Unimaginable as it might seem, Fresno State was felt to be on an unstoppable, ascendant trajectory, by its fan(s) (Hands up! Who remembers Buff?).

Anyway, Leticia posted the original list, it was added to and it morphed a number of times. It was too many crashed computers ago, and the original posts are long gone into the ether.

Still, the more recent itteration of the ettiquitte guide managed to be posted two years back....for the sake of the mojo....

You forgot our Hilton Units.

(You youngsters can google up "Smoot", or Oliver R. Smoot, for the origination of the idea.)

For some extended period of time, everyone wanted to know precisely how tall Hilton was, with or without sneakers, etc., etc.

Growing tired of it all, as I sometimes do, I determined that the issue would be over if I simply considered Hilton Armstrong to be on a plane with Oliver R. Smoot (or Anders Angstrom), and give him his own unit of measure. "One Hilton Armstrong Unit".

For the rest of that season, everyone on the team, all rectruits and everyone we matched up against, was measured in HAUs.

Any pictures of the pansy section which was devastated by Connvict after his roll over?? The new members would certainly wonder how they tipped that cart especially seeing the 15 various empty bottles and fifths on the ground!! LOL

The good news is that this was the first time I ever played golf.

Until my teammates flopped that golf cart, I hadn't realized that golf was a full contact sport.....

It was exquisite timing, I have to say....no sooner had Rip and Conncert flipped that cart, but Team Fishy came around the corner to witness all those booze bottles, and naked lady golf tees strewn all over the area.

The look of shock and horror on swami's face was priceless....
 
Four pages and no turkey vultures.

I heard Tom is still alive too despite posts that indicate otherwise.

We've used HAUs this season a few times. HAUs should always be used when referring to height on the board, but especially with post players.
