Once there was a guy who ran into EE 201 w/ Kruempel. The guy was wearing a black trenchcoat and a Richard Nixon mask. He proceeded to run down the stairs to the front of the class naked while yelling, "Viva la resistance!" I remember Kruempel cracked a small penis joke (or laughed when a student did), and said he wished that someone had tripped the guy so he would have rug burned his manhood.

Anything involving Kruempel was entertaining.

I enjoyed the guy eating in the UDCC while wearing a gorrila suit like nothing was strange about it.

Also liked the hot girl talking to the obviously uncomfortable nerd at lunch, getting him to fix her computer for free.

A drunk guy failing misserably to get a girl's number at a football game.

Slipping and falling on ice is always a classic. Especially if they resist and try to keep their balance before failing. :biglaugh:

When I was in school a few years back there was a dude who was tiny (like 5-2 or so and like 100 lbs) who would carry every single book he had in his enormous book bag..... and he would slowly run to every single place he was going! He would run to every class, and he would even slowly run across the dining hall.... he couldn't move very fast cause his bag weighed almost as much as him. Sometimes you would even see him on the other end of town running down Lincoln Way back towards campus. He never, ever walked or slowed down, always kept the same pace up. He also had one of those awesome long moustaches you get when you can't properly grow facial hair and you never shave.

I am sure somebody else remembers this dude. One time he showed up at a party where we were at and everybody knew him from seeing him run all over Ames.


Yup, remember that guy. ******* hilarious!

Funniest things ever....

Girls all done up walking across Lincoln Way getting their heel stuck in a crack and falling over.....classic.

Also, girls who are dressed very nicely riding a bike. Not sure why its so funny, but it is. The same goes for guys....anyone wearing a tie and riding a bike across campus is hilarious.

No thread of entertaining campus personnel is complete without a mention of Zevs Cosmos--the founder of the Nudist Christian Church of the Blessed Virgin Jesus. His Book of Zevs was delivered from the mountains on the horns of three long-horn steers...
Now, when that dude was outside the Hub, lunchtime was entertaining.

People falling down on ice is defiently entertaining. My friends and I would sit by the windows at the UDCC and count people falling outside friley.

One morning while driving to church, snow was coming down so hard (and my wipers were frozen), that I had to stop and get out to wipe snow off the windshield. In walking back and forth from one side of the car to the other, I slipped and fell a total of 3 times, once being a full out, both legs flying out from underneath me, onto my back fall. My girlfriend, who was sitting in the car and watching me periodically disappear from view, found it quite hilarious.

Along these lines -

If you've ever watched the band march from hilton to the stadium, you know that we like to help entrepreneurs along the route whenever we can. For instance - people standing with the program bags along the route. The trombones in front will all start yelling and pointing "PROgrams, GET YOUR PROgrams. FOOOOUR dollars, Get your PROgrams" etc etc. The same with T-shirt stands....people with extra tickets "EXTRA TICKETS! RIGHT HERE! Guy with the yellow cap's got tickets right here, get 'em cheap, extra tickets" etc etc etc.

Well, one day the above mentioned "you're all going to hell for drinking" people with the signs were right along the parade route on the east side of Trice. Didn't take but a couple seconds, and all the trombones are yelling, and pointing to every person in the crowd.

"HELLIANS!" "We're all going to hell" "you're going to hell" "beer is bad" "Tickets to hell! right here! get 'em here!" etc etc

wow that was a fun time

lol, ah yes, good times. I know we all like to yell for the programs, but I'm sad I didn't hear you guys yelling the stuff for those "going to hell people"! That would've been epic. If it was last fall I guess that would explain it, since I was out of the country.. but if it was a couple years ago with those people with the giant poles that looked like boat masts with big painted sails on them about going to Hell.. well I remember that day.

Something one of the ranks in front of me (might've been saxes?) did that time was to one of those people holding a mast. If anyone has noticed, sometimes groups of us while marching will leave the formation and start running in circles around someone, or something (cars are always fun). Well we call that "cycloning".
So here's this person yelling at us that we're all going to hell, and one of the ranks decides to jump out and begin "cycloning" them, yelling and running in circles around them. Classic.

I was always entertained by bike wrecks and people falling on ice. Used to sit in Carver and watch people on the ice. The sidewalk south of Carver went down the hill and back up (before they redid it with a bunch of fill eliminating the hill) and it was just a big ice slide. You could see someone falling there about every minute between classes.

The other thing that I still remember was a tailgate where two people in full Batman and Robin garb walked up to us. Without saying a word, we handed over the beer bong and batman dropped to his knees and drained the bong. Robin did the same and then they left.

I had one of those "awesome" moments on a bike my freshman year. I was riding up the hill by BWR and my old POS bike's pedal broke off while I'm standing up pedaling hard. Well I fell, rolled over my own ankle, hit my manhood, and landed in the grass all in front of a pack of about 10 people. They found hit hilarious that I was balled up in pain. The worst part was having to do the walk of shame back to my dorm right in front of them.

Most embarrassing time of my life.

A yes, I remember that Zevs. mid-late 80s. There was also a guy we called Spaz. He lived on one of the co-ed floors in Friley. Used to ride his unicycle around quite a bit. He'd also go crazy if somebody whistled at him. He'd spin around like a top for about a minute looking for the source of the whistle. People in Friley and Helser caught on to this quickly so anytime he'd walk between the too buildings you'd hear a whistle, look out the window, and sure enought there was Spaz spinning down the sidewalk.

OK, I got a couple. Junior year, I lived in Freddy. If anyone knows this area, there is a small tunnel you go through to get to campus. It is clearly marked something like "Please walk your bike through tunnel." Well, nobody ever did, they always went screaming through there and it was a tight fit. I walked to class with a buddy who absolutely despised these people. One day, I guess one of them caught him on the wrong day. One comes screaming through, he sees them coming and yells, "Get off your bike ******, and the guy yells back "**** off all before he reaches the tunnel. My buddy proceeded to, once the biker was in the tunnel, body check him into the wall and the guy and his bike went two different directions. Absolutley awesome.

Next was another buddy. His freshman year, he got hammered and got a ride from Cyride back to the dorms. As he gets off the bus, he biffs it huge and to top it off, he was so drunk he couldn't get up. That was funny but it's not the end. Two years later, he goes to Wales. While there, he goes to the bar and this girl comes up to him and says "Hey your that guy who wiped out getting off the bus and couldn't get up freshman year."
