The BB-Gun Incident
It seems that a few years
back, "Wojo" decided it would be wise to bring a bb-gun to Ratfest. Why he
thought this was a good idea no one will ever know, but needless to say he
brought it anyway. Things were fine with a few cans being shot and a
couple of shooting tournaments, etc. Unfortunately, after a few
refreshments, Tim "Chicken Man" (aka "Killer") got hold of the gun.
This was at the same time that "Wojo" decided he would start making "Chicken
Man" mad by urinating in his "space". This is the space that Tim thought
was close enough to his tent to either smell, get blown on, or saturate the
ground around his tent. I think this space was about a 50 foot circle
around the tent. Anyway, "Wojo" proceeded to goad "Chicken Man" and after
warning him several times, he shot "Wojo" in mid-stream with the bb-gun. "Wojo"
jumped up and down like the old western movies when they would tell a man to
"dance, boy, dance." The bad thing was that "Wojo" had consumed enough
adult beverage so that he repeated this tactic throughout the night. I
think he ended up being shot about 5 times total. As the night went on, "Wojo"
would sneak over to Tim's "space" and start taking a leak just to see if he
could get away with it. When he was successful, he would goad Tim as he
was zipping up and running out of the way. When he got caught, he got
shot... Needless to say this made for much camp laughter and entertainment for
the night. As you can tell, it doesn't take much to entertain this group.
