What's In A Name?

Wait, u mean there are others who watched Bugs Bunny cartoons when they were kids? You mean we are not the only ones who've used the moniker? Get outta here. Other softball teams too? Seriously?

Well shit. We can't have that.

So today we o-fisha-lee announce the change of our name. Due to our deep-rooted German-Catholic heritage, (at least three of us are German and/or Catholic) and our intense love for bier stubes, we are changing the team name, and thus the name of this here blog, to Gashaus Gorillas.

Props to Deezal - sorry... Al - for the rare clever suggestion.

It also occurs to me that Rice needs a nickname. GMoney is kinda lame. Rice-a-roni.... lamer.

Broke dick? IP (for injury prone)? Mark Prior?

perhaps.

We kid b/c we care, Gerg. (That's Greg, Harry Caray style)

Now go stretch or something.

How about Rice Chex or Chex Mix? Or even the Chex Republic? I gave up two years ago trying to find a nick name for him. Just call him "Meat"...

The Kid In The Big Sombrero said...

Why "Meat?" I could see Meat if there's even a remotely interesting story behind it.

I don't like the chex...

Unknown said...

Lack of something cleaver to call him. "Don't think Meat, just throw..."

i was called meat in the semi-pro days because i was a relief pitcher and gave up a monster of a bomb in the world series at bosse field well into the parking lot.

Okay... we'll vote on "Meat" tomorrow. In the mean-time, you should probably make up a cooler story.

Unknown said...

I threw the Meat reference because I am watching Bull Durham on Comedy Central.

"Alright Meat.....give him your heat."

still like EARS. or handles

The Kid In The Big Sombrero said...

"Ears." Too easy. Plus there would be confusion if Scott Duncan ever is in the same room.

I think I'm gonna go w/ "No Nickname" or "Nick" for short.

Of course now I have to call Nick Gantner something else too.

dammit.
