Alright, on to funny happy stories.
This is another band story of course.
Once upon a time, at the Big 12 tournament in good ol' Kansas City...
I was down with the pep band for the tourney. My best friend was also in the pep band. Back then, it was traditional to go directly to the bars after the evenings games. Of course my bro and I got hammered. We worked the Cyclone crowd quite well and got a few shots bought for us because we were in the band.
Well we all staggered back to our hotel rooms after closing time but we were still wired. My other friend had brought his gamecube with him and we decided to play some incredibly drunken Super Smash Bros. Melee. We also had some food, because someone at had gotten a big garbage bag full of popcorn from the concessions people after the game and brought it back to the room.
Well we were playing and all of a sudden my buddy decides he is going to body slam the bag of popcorn. He just starts beating the crap out of it.
The Cyclones had lost that night so the next day we were on the bus headed back to Ames. We were all talking about the previous night and I brought up how my boy donkey punched the popcorn. He didn't really care for the nickname, but we persisted.
In the Super Smash Bros game there is a Donkey Kong level. There's a song for that level that goes something like:
DK
Donkey Kong
DK
Donkey Kong is here
Well on the bus we decided to change it to
DP
Donkey Punch
DP
Donkey Punch is here
The nickname stuck for the rest of our band careers and for many years after, though most didn't get it.
