Bula Bula Soccer Yell

One year the soccer team I was on, adopted the Bula Bula soccer yell. When we would go after the ball or whatever we would yell BULA BULA! One game we got threatened by the ref, we were yelling so much.

Here is the joke that was the origin of the Bula Bula soccer yell(to the best of my memory).


Bula Bula (joke)

Three men were lost in the jungle. They were captured by a tribe and taken back to their village.

The tribal chief came out and gave them two choices. You choose death or bula bula? He asked the first man.

He thought about it and said to the others. How bad can a bula bula be?

He looked at the chief and said I choose bula bula.

The chief yelled Bula Bula! The entire tribe came out yelling Bula Bula! They put the man in a large pot. Then the people of the tribe came over and started urinating and defecating in the pot. Once the pot got up to his neck they stopped and set him free.

The chief then went to the second man and gave him the same choice. He said there is no way I'm going to die. I choose bula bula.

Again the chief yelled Bula Bula! The entire tribe came out yelling Bula Bula! They put the man in a large pot. Then the people of the tribe came over and started urinating and defecating in the pot. Once the pot got up to his neck they stopped and set him free.

The chief then went to the Third man and gave him the same choice. He said "I do not like that bula bula that is disgusting. I choose death. Then the chief yelled DEATH BY BULA BULA!!!!

Soda Pop incident

Some time ago I worked at a Grocery Store. One of my duties was to refill the beer cooler. So I would come in and make a list of what I needed and go to the beer hallway off of the backroom.

This particular day while I was in the beer hallway, a loud crash came from the backroom. I ran out to see 2-liters of soda pop(just pop for us ohioans) all over the place. Many of them had busted open and were spewing their content all over the floor.

Someone who was working in the deli ran in thinking they would find someone hurt. I called 2 people from other departments to help in the clean up, as there was now 1/2 to 1 inch of standing liquid on the floor.

When it was all said and done, the reason for the crash was someone put 2 pallets of 2-liters on top of each other without any wrapping for support. The bottom pallet gave way and then the mess ensued.

Fog



Foggy days remind me of a story from when I was a kid.

This particular morning it was extra foggy. The fog was so thick you could not see anything. In reality no one should have been driving in it.

My friends dad was driving his motorcycle to work. The road this happened on was a road that ended into another. There was a car stopped at the stop sign. He missed the car, so he was in the wrong lane and went into the ditch on the other side.

The guy in the car just happened to be one of the dads friends. He heard the wreck and got out to look for his friend. He was able to find the bike by feeling around, but could not locate his friend.

My friends dad escaped with only a broken leg.

We were over at the friend in the cars home some time after the accident and his wife revealed that her husband was still waking up some nights screaming for his friend.

Story

This is a story from my childhood.

I was always a skinny kid. One day I was going to soccer practice. The advantage of growing up in a small town was that I could walk to everything.

It was cold this day. We were supposed to wear our soccer t-shirts. I put on clothes and a down vest to keep me warm. I put my soccer shirt over the vest.

On my way to the soccer field, some kid ran up to me and said "your fat" and ran off. Of course I'm thinking this kid is a complete idiot.

Kids can be soo cruel. I was lucky and the kid was wrong, but how many other kids had he ran up to?

Differences of opinions

When you disagree with someone, that does not mean you are right and they are wrong. You just don't agree. Different people have different interest. Some people like going to the Movies and some people would rather watch them at home. Some people may not like movies at all, but there is no reason to fight about it.

You shouldn't put other people down about their opinions. They feel the way they feel and they have every right to feel that way. You can share your opinion with them, but please don't fight.

There are probably a million times that I have disagreed with someone. I try my best to not put them down and not fight with them. If I have a valid point and I share it and that doesn't change their view, so be it. That is them, this is me.

Point is I do not want to continue fight over and over on a matter of opinion.
