How many Bolo's?

Since I've been having a hard time remembering really old memories, I've decided to pick a memory thats a little more recent. I could be wrong, but I believe the game "How many Bolo's?" was invented during the summer after our first year of college. For those of you that don't know the game or don't know who Bolo is, here is a little background.
Bolo Yeung is a martial arts superstar, probably most famous for his characters in the Bruce Lee film Enter the Dragon and the Jean Claude film Bloodsport. In short, Bolo is the most fearsome being to ever walk the planet. Now I know all of you are probably thinking, doesn't the fearsome title belong to Chuck Norris. Just to settle your doubt here is a true Chuck Norris fact: The REAL Chuck Norris was eaten by Bolo. The Chuck Norris you know and love today is infact a robot replacement. Ok, lame joke but anyway, Bolo could pretty much kick anyone's ass over their face. With that in mind, back to our story.
Matt Levin, James Mitchell, Stephen Coussens and I (forgive me if I left someone out) were all sitting around chatting about how weak the human race is when physically compared to others in the animal kingdom. We wondered how many humans it would take to defeat animals like lions or bears with only their bare hands. In order to determine this however, we had to establish which human would be used as our representative for all other humans. Our question inevitably led us to Bolo Yeung who, once again, is the buffest, craziest, and least merciful man alive. The "How many Bolo's?" game quickly took off. We started off with smaller animals like tigers and bears and lions, all which we determined would only take 1 Bolo. Next were animals like rhinos and elephants; These only take 5-10 Bolo's. Our laughter increased as we thought of more and more animals requiring increasingly higher numbers of Bolo's. Finally after a few minutes, we had stumped our selves. Someone asked "How many Bolo's to defeat a whale?" We thought maybe like 500 Bolo's. However, we finally decided this to be a draw seeing as how there actually isn't enough surface area for 500 Bolo's to simultaneously strike a whale. As soon as the draw was determined, we couldn't continue any further; we were all laughing far too hard. Good times.
Since that time, we have played "How many Bolo's" many more times. My personal favorite has been "How many Bolo's to defeat a Velociraptor?" Of course the answer is two. One Bolo to distract the raptor and the other Bolo to raptor attack (attack when the prey isnt looking) the raptor.
Anyway, this post hasn't really followed the same format of my old posts, but it is still a good memory that I am sure many still enjoy. Thanks to everyone who is reading my blog again, and I promise to soon bring back old favorites such as "Unfortunate Yearbook Pictures", "Nicknames of the Day", and "Photo Successions"

Good Times

Ok guys,
So it's been about 2 years since my last "good times" blog post. Yes, it's partly because I am lazy and busy, but mainly I was just suffering from a lack of motivation. The original purpose of this blog was to help us all remember the good times from the past. The other day I was trying to think of a story, any story of a good time from the past and I realized that I was having a really hard time remembering one. That's when I realized that I needed to start writing the memories down on paper again. So, with this new found motivation, I am opening this blog back up for business and hopefully it wont go down the poopshoots again. Anyway, enjoy and here's to the good times!

PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW

One day when we were all in Mr. Pews 11th grade AP US History class, he began the class by saying, "It was the strangest thing class, last night I had a dream I was really mad at you guys for some reason. It was very strange because you are one of my favorite classes... I don't know why I would have a dream like that..." Everyone chuckled for a bit.

A few days later, out of no where in the middle of class, an electronic beep went off. All of the students looked around to see what the sound was. Class continued... A minute later the same beep sounded. Once again the students all looked around to see where the noise was coming from, hoping that Pew didn't hear. Pew looked up from his podium and asked for everyone to check their electronic devices immeadiately. Class continued... Then no more than a minute later the beep sounded once again, this time class did not continue. Pew angrily slammed his teaching book closed and asked once again, "Would whoever's electronic device that is PLEASE SHUT IT OFF!!!" By now the class was in a panic and everyone was checking cell phones, pagers, cd players, even their TI 83's. Just as Pew began to open his book again... BEEEP! That was the last straw. "FINE!!! WE DON'T HAVE TO FINISH OUR LESSON TODAY IF YOU CAN'T KEEP YOUR CELL PHONES OFF!" Pew walked over to his desk and sat down, whispering profanities under is breath. Everyone sat in their chairs like deer in headlights, not knowing what to do. The beeping persisted so finally, Pew decided that the sound was coming from Melissa Berg's backpack. He marched over to her desk and picked up her backpack and threw it outside the door. This did not solve the problem. Still convinced that it was Berg's backpack, he marched outside, took the bag and locked it in the History core. Upon returning to class, Solomon Lee shouted to Pew, "So, it looks like your dreams came true Mr. Pew." There were random moans and boos from the students. James Mitchell even responded "SOLOMON!!! SHUT UP!!" Class was cancelled for the day...

A few days later it was decided that the schools all call system had been acting up, and it was not Berg's backpack at all. At the time, that was definitely a bad time, but we can all look back now and say... Good times.

Fucking Fuhrer-less...

A few moments in Fuhrer history.

Robert walks into a room with a drink in his hand. He goes to sit down next to Caityln but accidently spills his drink on her as he sits. He looks over to her and says, "Well... better you than me."

Robert approaches his econ teacher Mrs. Reinl after not being in class for a few days. "Can I take the test for today... like... later next week?" he asks. "No" she replies. Not expecting that response he adds, "Well, why not?"

and last but not least...

Robert, Matt, and Stephen all went out to lunch one school day. Matt and Stephen wanted to just go get some fast food and then get back to school so they wouldn't be late for class. Robert however really wanted to go to this hole in the wall Chinese restaurant. Stephen and Matt finally gave into Robert's nagging. After recieving their food they all realized that it really wasn't all that great and that they were all going to be late to class. Once the check came Stephen and Matt put in their money and looked over to Robert. Robert looked at the guys and said, "Hey can you guys spot me... I don't have any money."

Good times.

Are those regulation size or what?

..........

There's five more minutes left in Mr. Hertzogs 10th grade English class. Student Pat Febre turns around in his seat and is caught off guard by the sight of Amy Becky Gordon's frontal region.

Pat: You know, you have really big...
Amy Becky: You think I don't know that?
Pat : Cool...

Good times.

There is a crowd of students surrounding the AP literature class montage. Kearney is just looking at it for the first time.

Kearney: Who is this?
She points at Pamela's picture
Pamela: That's me!
Kearney: Really? Noooo... I mean... This picture doesn't look anything like you.
Pamela: Really?
Kearney: I mean you just look so good in this picture... well I mean you just look like a super model...
random gasps and boos from the crowd.

Good times.
