Default If Calgarypuck was a book, what would its chapters be?

As a relatively new member of the site, it often amazes me when I hear about events that occurred here before my time or about memorable posters with crazy stories associated with them. For every PIMking or Gaudreauvertime story that I was here to experience, there seem to be a million more that I just never heard of.

Funny enough, I was reading the PIMking thread the other day and I saw a post about how said poster would go down as a chapter in the story of Calgarypuck. It got me thinking -- what else would be a part of this book? Stories about crazy meetups? Insane tirades? Excessive tipping-related asterisk binges?

So, what do you think? Who, or what, would go into a book about Calgarypuck? What memorable moments or people have endured through this site's 20-ish-year history? I can't wait to read up on the responses.

All the battles Lanny MacDonald waged in the early days of CP were why I signed up on the board. Dude is a legend.

Wannamaker has to make it in there.

Dude who got outed/savagely beat down by his girlfriend who was posting hypotheticals and clearly it was for himself

Also, the guy who called Bingo a "CDC paste-eating Troll" gets some honorable mention!

Also Ren (Ren?) ate his pubes once and posted a video of it. He put them on crackers I think. Possibly with another topping like peanut butter. It was weird. So weird I kinda feel like I’m making it up. It’s hard to remember, I’ve seen a lot of pube eating videos in my day.

He sure did!

Post 11 but he’s changed the hyperlink.

So I say, do it! A bet is a bet.
Lol. A legend indeed.

During my first couple years on CP I would occasionally see a reference to some Wannamaker thing. I eventually searched for the thread and went through everything. Wow, so epic, that would be a few chapters of a book.

More recently I recall how we got to learn of a poster's many personal details on their difficult but eventually successful attempt at losing their virginity. The gear grinders thread was shut down at one point and it started the whole "you should join the military" meme.

Bertuzzied. He was always hard on Kobasew and said he would change his name if Kobasew ever scored a hat trick. Kobasew did and Bertuzzied was then known as Kobatuzzied.

The Snotboy story by our own Reggie Dunlop

Quote:
My public transport tragedy.....I think I will need therapy after this one. I have relayed it so many times that I am starting to pick up a flair for humour with it, but let me tell you at the time nothing was funny about it.

October 17th, 2000. I am in Ecuador, leaving the armpit of the earth QUITO (ecuador's capital). I amreally excited to leave regardless of the mode of transport. I was on the local bus, which cost like a buck for the entire 400km drive....I should have known.
Quote:
Then the gross part happened.

This kid got bored sitting in the bus for the long trip, so he started to entertain himself. This involved collecting copius amounts of runny snot on his finger/hand and eating it. Sometimes he would rub it in his ear or on the floor before eating it. There was so much snot coming out that I think a ShopVac wet dry vaccuum would have been in order. There was also a pole right in front of him that people would hold onto when getting on the bus. He saw this and decided to include it in his buffet. He would rub snot on his hand, or saliva, and then rub it on the pole. At that point (HONEST TO GOD) he would lean forward and lick the snot off the pole. Someone saw this and gave him an orange, but he quickly discarded this for the pole. I wanted to die.

This went on for over 2 hours. I wanted to move, but the bus was too packed. I wanted to climb over people to get back to my tour group but it was literally impossible to move. I started to panic. At that point this kid saw my right leg. He reached for it with a snot coated hand. I batted his hand away with my water bottle, and this was an apparent signal for some type of game. He became more persistent and eager to rub snot on my leg (in some attempt to tenderize it before giving it a good licking). The lady beside me screamed once or twice (seemingly on my behalf). His mother looked back uninterested (story of this kids life) once but that was it. I never hit the kid hard or even firmly with my water bottle, but I did have to start batting him in the head with it.

I'm not sure how to write the chapter though. I want closure but we never got it. Other than ending with a cathartic mantra of "I put the bag there" "No I put the bag there" "No I put the bag there" posts, nothing else works. Because in reality, we all put that bag there.
