Here's an idea I would like to throw out. Everyone hates Al's nickname of Big Al. It's not really his nickname, it's just what we call him because he doesn't have a nickname.

Why don't we at Twolvesblog be the ones to pick a new name for him. There's nothing else to do right now. What can we chat about on the forum? We're young, were injured, were bad, end of chat. The \"elimination game\" is taking way too long and no one is voting anymore and Bonk keeps calling Gomes fat and CW is getting mad.

Here's my idea. You can tweak it as you see fit. Everyone submits ideas for a new nickname for Al. We can submit as many or as ofetn as we wish. We can submit good bad and ugly names. We do this till Christmas at which time CW and DeRock pick what they feel are the best 5 or 10. We then all vote for the winner maybe three picks each out of the 10.

Our winning submission (hopefully a good one) gets sent to Mike Trudeau explaining what we just did. He can take it to Al for his approval and if he is happy, bingo, we're all famous!

LOVE IT!! HOWL.

I like it.

Mr. Ecko is taken, so we'll have to figure something else out.

You get an imaginary howl from the Daddy...

Now on to the Daddy's ideas.

....got nothing...right now...

On another note. Can we call Theo Ratliff \"Det. Nordberg\" from Naked Gun? He always hurt himself.

I'm down with this. It's not like we've got anything to lose. If it fizzles out and we don't get any good nicknames, well then nothing hurt.

Depending on the number and quality of the submissions, Derok and I will decide later about picking 5 or 10 \"finalist\" entries.

P.S. It's Mike Trudell

We can send it to him too.

I really like \"The Post Man\" but it's way to close to \"The Mail Man\"

How about \"Paint Player\" (or \"Player in the Paint\") or \"Pump Fake\"? Al \"Pump Fake\" Jefferson?

\"The Mask\" ... because sometimes hes face looks so shinny it looks like he has one of those face masks on.

This is guaranteed to be the worst name that we come up with. I'm ashamed to admit this even crossed my mind. It's horrendous.

\"Unbelievab\" Al

Hahahaha if I wasn't such a nice guy I'd give you a negative Howl llol...

Don't worry, I'll come up with some entries that everyone can mock and ridicule as well.

I didn't make this up, but regardless...


\"Pepto-Bismol\"

Why that?

- Because he stops the runs.

Well if we're throwing out bad ones, how about the Albatross? He's got a big wing span. Of course Albatrosses aren't exactly the best thing to be associated with.

Throw out everything. The more the merrier. This may not work, but at least it could be a fun and/or interesting little thingy... I'm usually not for changing nicknames because it's usually kinda dumb and rarely has success, but we can at least humor ourselves.

\"A\" Jeff ( like K Mart and J Will )

or

Al \"J\"

You are right CW we peobably won't become famous but what the heck.
