(Printer Friendly Version) //toid.net -> friends -> gugals Come one. Come all. Welcome to the Gugals Shrine. In here I will discuss all the moments I have gotten to share with probably the most interesting guy I have ever met. And there is no way I could keep these stories to myself or the people who he was with when he committed them. Stories like these are priceless and I can't thank him enough for giving me something to talk about to all my friends! There are some links to pictures and official Gugals soundbytes so be sure to click on those! But without further ado, let's get warmed up with the Gugals famous moments unranked. Famous Gugals Moments - Football Sorority Sledding Scandel - Alright, it finally snows in Oklahoma and we wonder in the stadium to do a little sledding down the bleachers and steps of Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, and well, everything is going good and we are having lots of fun, and then all of the sudden, these sorority girls from Tri-Delta come on in to see what was going on. The time of day was mid-afternoon and we had already gathered a crowd watching us and taking pictures and generally observing our stupidity. Alright, for those of you that don't know, Owen Field is guarded by laser's to protect the grass for the all-important football games. Now granted football season was over and the field was just kind of sitting there, however that's no excuse for anybody to walk on the field and set off the super-loud alarms that go off when one of the lasers is tripped on. Well, that's exactly what these Tri-Delts did -- walk on the field thinking they had free reign and the lasers didn't apply to them. So the alarm sounds and then Gugals, at the top of his lungs yells directly at these girls, "GET OFF THE FIELD!!" And then, he took off running like a little boy and left the stadium cause he didn't wnat to get caught. Scared to death, the sorority girls followed suit and ran out behind him. Later, upon police arrival, we had to stop sledding and the police asked if we had a two-person hat. (don't ask) Omlette Incident at Mama Lou's - Poor Phillip. He finally gets up the nerve to come with us on an outing and well this happens. Ok, what happened. Mama Lou's runs their "daily" specials which is really like their yearly specials cause they never change, and one of them, is a huge omlette for $2.99 and you get hashbrowns pancakes and all sorts of other stuff with it. So anyhow, basically the seven of us get this, all wanting different things in our respective omlettes. The poor waitress who happens to be working at 2 in the morning that serves us brings out our order and heaven forbid she got Gugals' order wrong. Anyhow, we just told him to eat it anyway, cause basically it had onions in it when he didn't want them and Gugals, at the top of his lungs, in the middle of a restaurant yelled, "IF I PAID FOR IT I AM GOING TO GET WHAT I WANT!" Hahaha you tell 'em Gugs. "NOPE!" <---(click for audio) Whacked Out Squirrel - One day on the way to class, Gugals spotted what he recalls as a "whacked out" squirrel. Everybody knows there are lots of squirrels on campus, however, this one, according to Gugs, went crazy over a nut that was laying on the ground. It jumped straight up in the air, attacked a twig, then spazzed out over a nut, and then ran up the tree, scaring Gugals. To this day he has the famous nut. We are debating about trying to sell it on Ebay. Wearing Sunglasses in Class - Gugals has this thing about wearing his sunglasses wherever he goes and no matter what he does, or what time of day it is. He wore them to class one day, his CS class specifically, and the teacher asked him to remove them. Ok, it's not that funny, but just try and picture a guy sitting in class with his sunglasses on, and yeah, it would look kinda odd...well you know, I don't see what the problem is really, cause if you are wearing sunglasses, it makes for easy nap time! Heart Murmer ER Trama - One day, Gugals had his heart skip a few beats, so we took him to the ER to have them look at his heart beat pattern. They hooked him up to this whole big machine and found out that he was basically ok. After many results, they found he needed to have more fish in his diet. So now Gugs has a collection of Tuna in his room that almost matches my size of cokes. IMPRESSIVE! I Hate You More Than I Have Ever Hated Anyone - This is what Gugals said to Ted right after Ted woke Gugals up at 9 in the morning to work on his CS project before it was due THAT DAY. Ted just assumed that Gugs would want to do it and turn it in for a grade. I guess he was wrong, cause when Gugals was woken up by Ted, he yelled at Ted saying he has hated Ted more than anybody he has ever hated. I think three days later he said I was the person he hated more than anybody else when I tried to run a spliced cable from Phillip's room so I could get free cable for my tv. Giant Pinata - This has to be one of the funniest ones, cause well ok, here's what happened. Basically Ted and Ryan found this Pinata laying outside of Cate Center and well, they brought it upstairs and layed it on top of Gugals while he slept. (It fit perfectly) Ten minutes later we noticed that the giant pinata which is made out of wood and chicken wire was thrown out in the hall...so then we placed it up against his door and it became the voodoo pinata after that cause it just sat in the hall for a day because the cleaning lady wouldn't take it out. Later, when venting anger over Ryan stealing all my cokes, I picked up the Giant Pinata and threw it down the hall. In midflight it busted a firealarm setting off all the firealarms in Cate Center. Yes, that was me, and yes, it was 2:30 in the morning, oopsies, my bad! Oregon Football - Gugals has this obsession with Oregon Football. He knows a lot of stats, but we will discuss that in the Phillip/Gugs Argument section, however, this one time, this internet chick that Gugals met came to visit him (suprise visit that is) and well, she found him in the social lounge watching Oregon Football. And heaven please forgive her for trying to talk to him during the game. Needless to say, she never talked to him after that because of Gugals explosive reaction when he is being interrupted from watching his team play on the gridiron. My favorite is waiting for Gugals to yell, "Pathetic" <---(click for audio) Giant OU Finger - You know those big fingers that say "OU #1" on them that they hand out at the Big Red Rally's here on campus before the first football game? Well Gugals picked up about 5 of those things and proceeded to take those with him to the home football games. Ted and I utterly hated it. We ended up tearing off the finger on a couple of them, and stealing the rest so he couldn't take them anymore. They would block our vision during the games when he would hold them up in the air almost like a trophy. However, Gugals was very mad at this, and trust us, he let us know. Inflatable Corndog goes to a Chilli Peppers Concert - When you go to the cafeteria to eat dinner, you don't expect to come out of there with a giant inflatable corndog. Well, however, this is Gugs we are talking about and he did such a feat. He won some raffel thing during dinner one night and he came back to the dorms with this giant corn dog that had sunglasses on it. That night we took his inflatable pal to the movies on Ted's free movie passes. Then, about a week later, he took it with him to the Red Hot Chilli's Peppers Concert and well, he got it up on stage and Anthony Keatis actually kicked it. And yes, Gugals recovered it after the show by getting some security guards to hand it back to him and rumor has it, he is taking it to the Creed concert in a few weeks, we will keep you posted. Turned Jordan Louge into Personal Bedroom - During finals week, Gugals couldn't sleep in his room due to me playing MechWarrior 3. (wait, what was I doing late at night playing mechwarrior instead of studying???) However, IMHO I wasn't playing it that loud. That's beside the point though. Gugs went downstairs and he turned the social lounge to his bedroom and even put a sign up on the door saying he was sleeping in there and not to bother him. Hahaha, well, ok then, on to the next subject. :) Wal-Mart and Taxes - I have never seen somebody so naive about the idea of taxes. Coming from Oregon where in Washington there are no taxes, many boarder runs are made from Oreganites to stores in Washington so they won't have to pay taxes. Well anyhow, when at wal-mart trying to purchase a rug for $29.99 Gugals went balistic when he found out that he had to pay over $30 for the rug. The lady in the red vest had to come over and clear things up as Gugals told the cashier that he was from Oregon and so he should be exempt from all taxes. She informed him that he was in the state of OKlahoma and therefore had to pay taxes like every other citizen in this grand 'ol state. Tackling Lindsay in Football - Ok, generally when you play football with a girl, you don't tackle her, or at least not very hard if you do. Well, the scene was Lindsay's house and the setting was her front lawn during the 14 inch snowstorm we got last year, which Gugals did infact predict (more on his leprechan self later) First time Lindsay got the ball and was running in the snow (we were playing snow football) Gugs comes like a steam engine and flatten's her. I mean, this was a hardcore tackle. It is kinda like the guy who plays just as hard no matter who he is playing with. Sheesh, no mercy. Gugals and Sports - If there was anybody out there who played as hard as Gugals I would be amazed. Gugals playes with the spirt that one can only dream of having. His love for the games of basketball and the like are outstanding. As Gugs would put it "Unbelievable!" <---(click for audio) It doesn't matter if there are 5 black guys on a court and they are playing 21, all 5 foot 5 inches of Gugals will go out on the court to take them on. I can't wait till he wins. That would be the day. Gimp -- broken toe - This was the story that started it all. While playing in a hardcore vollyball game, Gugals broke his toe. Instead of going to a doctor or seeking medical attention, he made this contraption for his foot. It consisted of a sandle, a sock, a brace and a lot of tape. For over a month Gugs walked around with a "gimp" which is why he started riding the bus, however, the bus wasn't as easy as 1-2-3. Bus Story - You would think that a bus that was on campus would take you directly to class. Well that wasn't the case with the "metro transit" bus that Gugs got on while trying to go to his class. I guess maybe he should have read the words a little bit better, because before he realized the bus wasn't taking him to class he was already in downtown Norman, missing his class as the bus took over an hour to make it's entire loop. Missing Wallet (OKC) - The next day, Gugs braved riding the bus again, however this time he left his wallet on the bus. Not knowing which individual bus his wallet was on it took him a long while to retrieve it but eventually with his Gugal luck retrieved it and therefore vowed never ever to carry a wallet again. However this year he has one. Super Boxer 2000 - When you go to watch a boxing match you hardly expect to come back with prizes. However, if you go with Gugals you should expect him to come back with some rewards. Ryan and Tracy went with Gugals to watch the boxing match between Lennox Lewis and Evander Hollyfield and well while watching the pregame, Gugs spotted a boxing thing where you can punch it as fast as you can and try to score points by hitting it in prime locations. Gugals attacked this thing with great fury and won second prize. Some boxing boxer shorts! GO GUGALS! Stealing Oranges from Couch - If you were wondering why your meal ticket is so expensive, it is most likely because of the fact that Gugals walks out with 3 or more oranges everyday to add to his stash in his room. It's almost humorous watching him find many creative ways to sneak them out of the cafe. Keychain of Life - This is a reference to the gigantic size of Gugals' keychain. Attached to his keychain he has everything from his student id, to his lizard, to a snake, to a pillsbury dough boy and then all sets of his keys and bottle cap openers and assortment of other trinklets that he may win/find throughout the year. Be careful when he swings this thing around in a vicious circle of death. Weather Hall Postings - Taking up over half the hallway last year in the dorms, Gugals would post any news about a tornado, or OU football, or Oregon Football or just basically any news he deamed newsworthy sometimes including pictures of various animals and stuff. It was pretty wild. They now have a rule against putting stuff on walls in the dorms now, and we think it was cause of Gugals. haha, changing the student codebook once again, props to Gugs! Goatee Snuggling - If you have one of the following items beware - a pillow, a bed, a soft shoulder, a rug, a chair, a futon, a floor, a sleeping bag, whatever, Gugals will take his goatee and begin to rub it into the item leaving behind little goatee hairs and it's almost cute to watch him try and snuggle and get comfortable. Showering w/ Shirt On - Have you ever seen a person showering with his shirt on? Just click here, and take a look for yourself. I still don't believe it. Building Bonfires - I would give Gugals a merit badge for making what are quite possibly the biggest fires I have ever seen at a campsite. I mean these fires are three feet outside the ring, on ALL sides. Obsession w/ Rolling Boulders - Gugals has this obsession with rolling boulders down anything. Is this normal? Arguing w/ Phillip - If there is ever an argument more heated than those of the debates between Phillip and Gugs, I have never experienced it. If ever there was a question about who is better between the pac10 or the big12 (namely Oregon and Oklahoma) I think we know which one was defending what. Phillip would spout out all these facts for OU football like a sports almanac and Gugals would retalliate with Oregan stats. These were always very comical to listen in on, and many doors were slammed because of this. Magical Leprechan - "Aiiieeee Ladddie" If I were to name off the luckiest charm I knew, it would have to be Gugals the Magical Leprechan. He can predict weather, predict tornadoes, predict football plays, predict olympic events, predict world events, predict your future all flawlessly. So whenever we want something to happen, all we have to do is get Gugals to say it happens, and it will. (now why won't he say I will become successful later in my life???) Olive Garden - Don't ever go to Olive Garden if you don't think they are going to serve up many Olive's in their salad. If there are not very many Olives in Gugals' salad, please forgive him, cause the waitress is going to hear all about it. And, geez, where are they going to add the never-ending pasta bowl to their permenent menu? The trips to the Olive Garden are always fun filled entertainment. Missing Wallet (Dallas) - This is not the same story as the missing wallet on the bus in Norman. Yes, even though Gugals vowed never to carry a wallet again guess what? It worked for a little bit...that is until he got a truck, therefore causing him to carry a drivers license around, and well...I'll give you one guess as to what happened. On a trip to the Cotton Bowl in Dallas for the annual OU/Texas football weekend...Gugals misplaced his wallet. He had it in his pocket in Ted's car on the way down...he had it with him when he purchased some food at a KFC which was AFTER we visited Ted's bro @ SMU's dormrooms. Then, about two hours later...as we were getting ready to go to Deep Ellum and West End to go see what's going on he noticed it was missing. CRAP. We looked everywhere. We looked all over the apartment complex...we pretty much tore up the seat covers in Ted's Stanza looking for it...no wallet in site. We had to go back to KFC and check the trashcans. If you don't believe that Gugals would dig through the trash can at KFC, check this pic out. Well, as it turns out it wasn't there...so after finding which dumpster KFC uses...guess what? Yup. We had the Gugals digging through those too...click here. Well, since we couldn't find it, EVEN after finding the exact trash that we had like two or three hours earlier...(do you know how disgusting KFC trash is!?) So we went to West End. At about 2 am we decided to come back to Aaron's brother's apartment (Patrick) and we crashed there...and in the morning Gugals decided to give the front desk at the apartment complex a call to see if it had turned up there. It had. The magical wallet was reunited with it's furry Leprechan friend. So what did Gugals do with the money in his wallet? Spend it all on pizza for the rest of us...cause he didn't deserve to have any cash. Missing Wallet (Norman) - I need to start putting dates on these things. Cause no later did he lose his wallet in Dallas, did he lose his wallet in Norman. Ok, this was during finals week and there was a party in the dorms in Ali's room. We didn't make it to the party till like 1:30 am. Gugals had a flight that left at 8:50 am that eventually took him back to Oregon. What on earth was he doing at the party??? Well who knows...maybe he wanted a good time. And I think that's what he got. A few cups of Bathtub Wonder Juice and Gugals was passed out on the recliner in the Study Lounge. Time was ticking. At about 4 am we decided it was time to go home...however when we got up to go we couldn't find Ted's coat. We searched everywhere. We even went to all the dormrooms of the people who were at the party looking for it. It wasn't anywhere. Gugs had his wallet inside Ted's coat. Time is ticking. We make it back to my apartment and we just think all is well and Gugals will make his flight as planned. I mean, it had already been cancelled once (due to weather) and so what was going to stop him from getting on this flight? Well...apparently not having ANY ID did. Delta wouldn't let him on the plane. He couldn't prove he was the one and only Gugals. However he did have a roman candle in his luggage that had he actually boarded the plane they would have loved to speak with him. At about noon, after filing a police report on his missing wallet, I get a collect call from a stranded Gugals. He needs a ride home. I go and pick him up and take him back to the apartment. Ted is no longer sleeping. Where did Ted go? Ted went to go look for his jacket and to make a long story short he found it and came back and gave Gugals his wallet...and Gugs made his flight home...even with the 7 hour layover. And the only reason Ted found his jacket was because once again, Gugals had his magic wallet in there.
