We discovered that this was a great way to keep people off the elevator when we were trying to get to the lobby in the hotel. There were so many people staying there taht we stopped at every single floor in between ours and the lobby. Since of course the elevator was packed becuz our whole team decided to wait until the last minute to go down there, as we reached each floor and the doors opened the poor unsuspecting people heard a loud "AAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!" hehe.

I feel sorry for the poor nonFIRSTers who sometimes were jammed into the corners of our elevators.

The first time i encountered the "Ehhhhhh" beast, was at nationals in 2000. That was the year of the "Wasssaahhh!!" commericals during the superbowl. Somebody on our team brought his ibook wth all those commercials on it and we watched them as we got to the hotel room the wednesday of nationals. Take in mind this was before the commercials really became popular. So we had walkie talkies and in the parks and around the pits we were always screaming WAAASSAAHHH!!! and even re-enacting the whole commericals at times. At some point in Disney we screamed WASSSAHHH and the response was EHHHHHH!!!!! so we adopted that after the WASSSAHH became too popular around NORMAL PEOPLE (non-firsters)

My team this year adopted the EHHHHOOOOOOOO. This would be from Don Hertzfeldt's cartoon "Rejected" at Annapolis and LI whenever our team was called for a match, everyone on the TEAM would go EEEEHHHOOOOO!!!!, we called it the Marauder Cry, however it as defintly a kung-foo call


and then at Six Flags when that free-fall ride would come down while we were all waiting to get in... WOW... EYYYYY!! EHHHH!!!! OOOOO! AHHHHH!!!! EEEEHHHOOO!!!!

some many beginings to the ehh thing...ehh?

i thought 481 started it by yelling ehh to a team we mentored

Actually, it spells YARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
