The Lighter Side of Competition - 2007

OK I got to thinking... we're only in May yet there have been some funny chit going down already amongst the Brethren. Thought maybe we needed a thread to keep track of the good stuff so come next winter, we can all say "Remember last year when..." and laugh all over again. There's funny chit happening all the time at comps...

So to start this out (and it can be added too all season), here are my initial "entries"...

Andy having a problem counting past five ribs. It wasn't so much DOING it that was funny as it has been the chit that he has taken the last three days around here. :wink:

And the funniest so far... Bubba catching himself on fire at Jefferson City! (Michael Jackson mod). :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh yeah... someone's kid at Platte City was riding his bike and fell when his tire got caught in a grate over a drain in the parking lot. It only became funny when we saw he wasn't actually injured but the bike was on him and wasn't moving due to the tire caught in the grate. I got a chuckle out of it because he was flirting with my daughter and with Andy's girl too! That'll teach him. :wink:

I'm sure there will be more so post 'em up when you get 'em! :lol:

EDIT: I almost forgot... Singin' Bob of the Meatheads making like three trips to Wal Mart at Warsaw trying to get a stereo loud enough to meet Meathead standards... and to be louder than mine. Turns out it was only a cable from the mp3 player to the stereo that made it less loud.

Were you there to see Bubba catch on fire?????? We were all looking like HELL what do we do....but he got it out and it was funny as hell (once we knew he is ok)....Not anyone can leave a contest with grill marks on his back and big burn hole in the front...I have heard that was his favorite shirt.

No, I missed seeing it firsthand but was there not long afterward and seeing Bubba sitting there looking all dejected with a burnt hole on his front side was classic! And I think hearing Jeff tell the story was probably as good if not better than actually seeing it! :lol: Dude can tell a story no doubt. Funny thing was though... our sponsor's husband wore nylon type sweat pants out to dinner Friday evening there at Jefferson City and was backed up to my propane heater and... well... that chit melts REAL easy. He had a big hole in his backside from it!

Bubba said:

Guys yes it was funny glad i did not get hurt. That is one story that will live on and on LOL. Jeff sure can tell it good, that was a bad day for sure

Bub, you know we love ya, brother! Just glad you weren't hurt! If you had, we wouldn't have been able to laugh about it. :wink:

This one time, at competition camp, I arrived to meat JeffinKC right after he stabbed his wife. By accident of course.

That was farkin funny! LOL! Thank God you were there to mend her wound! :shock:

Farker! I said the LIGHTER side of comps! I have yet to pen my letter to that bastige but it's coming soon! PM me his email if you have it. Steve said he thought he might.

Yeah, this says "2007" but there's been some good stuff this year too. Anyone want to add to it? So far, my favorites:

Jeff Toates lighting his ass on fire at Osage City! Got a bit too close to the propane heater and all of the sudden he's flaming! That was funny stuff. Even melted his credit cards.

Also this year at Warrensburg (just last week), Jeff Spurgeon and Wayne take a Friday night break and go visiting a local establishment. To hear Jeff tell the story made my face and sides hurt for hours I was laughing so hard!
