The Gaff's lacrosse glory story
- What dramatic high-school sports moment earned 'The Gaff' his nickname?
Ben (self-named in the audio) tells the invented origin of 'The Gaff': the first men's lacrosse team at his high school loses everyone but him to a kayaking accident, the women's team fills in, and in the final he dodges two guys, gets the 'ooskies' from Big Barb (the homecoming queen), sweeps her leg, collides with an opponent, blacks out, and celebrates a goal that doesn't count because the play was whistled dead. Barb then gives him 'the gravies' and his lacrosse career ends.
