Haikus
A prolific poster(currently know as Keefe) was known to respond to posts in Haikus attempting to be both cryptic and clever. Resulted in annoying half the board and mesmerizing the other half of the board. The haikus became a running meme, and were found to be called upon in especially tough times. A later variant had "secret" messages buried in them.
Vatican Smoke
This meme came into popularity during the Buzz Williams escape to the backwoods of Virginia drama. Playing off the smoke seen when selecting a pope, pictures started popping up in threads every time a "source" declared this or that. It likely gained traction as it was one of the first picture memes in Scoop, plus MU is like Catholic or something. Many posters contributed to the growth of the meme so I'm sure Bleuteaux wasn't the first, but his was the first I could find and ultimately I'm lazy so....all hail meme creator Bleuteaux.
Yuck, neither.
This is like UW-Madison v Notre Dame. You can only hope for an asteroid to hit.

Yep, and there were those who couldn't see the brilliance in Paul Klee, M.F. Husain, and Carvaggio either...

Keefe, for once you disappoint me....the only possible response could have been in the form of a haiku.....get your game right, son!
In this regional
Vatican smoke isn't good
Haikus forever.
one man sees nothing
while many more find treasure
scintillating wit
This one is easy
It might just go all the way
Haikus for the win
