Funniest Moment of the Year

What is the funniest moment of the year? It's hard to recall all of the crazy things that happened in those 8.5 months at school, but I've come up with a list of nominees. I'll briefly describe each event to jog your memory and then you should vote on it at the bottom of this post.

Teets getting drilled in the nose at Regionals.
We're playing a hot zone D and we get Kalamazoo trapped on the line. Their player decides to punt it with a big huck. Teets has other plans for the disc and jumps right in front of it. He successfully stops the huck with his nose. Teet's nose is not nearly as strong as his desire to stop a huck, so it promptly gushes blood as he grimaces in pain. And as we all know, pain is hilarious.

Snaps getting antiqued.
This moment was extra special for those of us not in Snap's van because this was right after a MOAB domination. Snaps thought he'd take the liberty of pouring piss all over our van (handles, window, doors, everything...). After he triumphantly walks away thinking he's the man, Pete blindsides him with a handful of flour. Snaps get ruined and his face/sweatshirt are covered in flour. All he can think to say is "Hi my name is Snaps and I just got fucking powder all over my face."

The Banana Condom.
This incident has become some instant Mardi Gras folklore. Some members of the team decided to fill a condom full of squashed up banana. Disgusting in its own right, the condom was used to make a fellow teammate nervous. As Gator dangles the mess over Phil, it happens. The condom bursts open. Phil is covered with a horrific mess of banana. Phil is pushed over the edge and goes postal. I heard accounts that this single event was the funniest thing they had ever seen and that the moment was the best part of Mardi Gras.

Lake of Fire (Hour long song game).
Who would have ever imagined surviving one song for an entire hour in a car trip? Staring down one song for an entire hour for 13 hours is a ominous threat. When one van coming back from Mardi Gras decides to make this their goal, a new dynamic is born. Misery reigns, singing is required, and laughing is non-stop.

Anything Snaps said on the way down to Mardi Gras.
If you are thinking about the ride down to Mardi Gras and what happened, you are remembering something Snaps did. With too much alcohol in him and enough energy drinks for an elephant to go nuts, Snaps was a one man show. So this one is any moment that you experience via Snaps on the way down. It was truly a spectacle.

Beffel steathly tickling Phil's ear at Huck Finn.
This was unbelievable. Phil was sitting on the sideline of another game during our bye. Most of the team was on the bleachers behind the game. With Phil's eyes on the game, Jason gets on the ground, does the army crawl towards Phil. He takes a piece of grass and starts to tickle his ear. With no one else in the vicinity, everyone thinks Beffel will get busted within seconds but Phil brushes the first few off as bugs. Beffel gets more daring and for the next 5-10 minutes Beffel pokes Phil with a blade of grass. The entire team is laughing while he is laying flat on the ground behind Phil without him suspecting a thing.

Phil getting barricaded in the port-o-pot.
The morning before games on day 2 of Mardi Gras, Max, Doug, Future, and Phil went to the bathroom. It was a few hundred yards from our field so they took the van. After Phil went into one of them, the three others took the van and backed up right next to the door. With the bumper touching the door, Phil tries to exit. He's greeting with about an inch of light and nowhere to go. Nothing like getting trapped in a confined space with human excrement.

Fudge and Snaps scissoring.
After the South Park episode where Mrs. Garrison thinks that the only way two women can make love is to scissor, we had our own scissoring escapades. Snaps was extremely drunk for his birthday and (I'm hoping) Fudge was drunk as well. I told Fudge that he should scissor Snaps as a birthday present. He agreed. The entire room was in on it and we told Snaps that we wanted to sing him happy birthday. So he came in thinking he was going to get a birthday homage, but instead he gets greeted with Fudge's skinny legs wrapped around his for a ridiculous scissor.

Teets laying out 3 seconds after a disc is caught by a receiver.
There are many of these incidents. Each time they get funnier. I could never control laughter in practice when I would hear the clap of a caught disc turn around and see Teets about to lay out. A good three counts in the stall could have been completed, but instead Teets decides he's going to lay out just to save face for getting beat under. There is a picture from Sectionals of the disc on the ground with Teets at least 2 feet up, totally horizontal bidding for it. He proceeded to get injured and take himself out, ruining our line against OU.

Dax hitting the back of Teet's head at a gas station.
This is a dark horse. I put this on there because it got the biggest laugh during the Mardi Gras video. Dax comes up to me at a gas station and says "hey, do you want me to start hitting people on the head?" Of course I'm not going to turn down this cinematic gold, so he proceeds to find some people to hit. Dax was obviously jealous that Teets was blessed with incredible intelligence and all he got was ADD, so he ran over and smacked him over the head.

The "shake" incident at Steak and Shake where Max got his nickname.
Not too many people were there for this, but I loved this moment. A chocolate shake was spilled on our table and I was immediately troubled to see this waste of a shake. Everyone starts to get drink some of the spilled shake off of the various things it spilled on. It was a frenzy. After someone took a huge lick off a napkin, I yelled at Max to to lick some of the shake. Without thinking he takes it and with enormous swipe of his tongue, owns that napkin after another guy had slobbered all over it.

Big Syl.
It can be actually walking out of the restaurant with a huge cardboard cut out of a 6'6 women's basketball player. It can be her presence in the port-o-pot and startling that Texas guy. It can be her gorgeous eyes and beautiful smile (well that's not funny, just true). A lot of funny things happened in and around Big Syl during Mardi Gras and after, until everyone verbally defiled her and Chuck made inappropriate advances...

So those are the nominations for funniest moment of the year. I imagine there are some I missed, but that's a good bunch right there. Take a minute, think hard, and then vote for your favorite.

Can someone post a good/close up pic of the boogiemen logo/shirts? I am an interested alum (2000-2003) and am glad to see the boogies doing so well. We were never higher than a 14-15-16 seed at regionals and I don't think we won a game. We didn't beat OU all three years I was at MU, so thanks for that.
