It simply never gets old.

This didn't get as much use, unfortunately.

Ulysses is a badass name that is ripe for a comeback.

That was my great, great, grandfather's first name.

 

[80 Proof]

I suggested Ulysses for the child, B$ wasn't having it. Grandfather's middle name was Cornelius.

Tortas at Marias on North Broadway are the

Pokemon Go is a government surveillance psyop IMO.

 

[TransyCat09]

Tying two threads together, my 3rd great grandfather (and his grandson/my great grandfather) was named Cornelius as well as being a Confederate Cavalryman.

 

[SAECATFAN]

I had a great uncle Adolph. And Bunky. Uncle "Bunk" played under Bryant at UK, actually.

I'll tell ya, I really like the cut of De'Aaron Fox's jib. Has been recruiting for UK since he committed and he's still at it with these younger kids. Seems like the outgoing kind of dude who will thrive in the UK fishbowl.

Also, he's a lefty and has a bitching 'fro. A lot to like there.

Always appreciated the older generation's penchant for going by nicknames. Dad had an Uncle Shorty and my grandpa John went by Butch.

You just don't hear many people going nicknames much anymore, although it seems to be more prevalent in African-American communities.

 

[cawoodsct]

No pokemon for me, i would however consider pokewomon

My papaw's nickname was Speedy, which I loved. Even my dad called him that sometimes.

OK, Rook.

 

[SAECATFAN]

Good call. My grandpa went by Red because, get this, he had red hair.

Pretty solid, actually.

Bunky's real name was Harold, btw.

 

[Btothe4th]

My dad's dad went by Shorty. My mom's went by Tall.

Nintendo stock is up almost 50% on this Pokemon App. I downloaded it to see what the fuss was about. I get it. I don't GET it like nutjobs walking out in the street getting hit by cars but it is interactive. The fact they didn't have a way to pay to be a Pokestation built in seems silly.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

so we making sex jokes about grandparents now, too?

Got an uncle named Red. Real name Harold.

Tyler Ulis needs to name his future son Ulysses that way the 2040ish Wildcats start a pg with the nickname Double U.

 

[woodfordandwater]

Grew up in Mayfield with a kid named Chris Carter.

He was nickamed "Cootie."

He played high school football, which in Mayfield is important.

He played on a couple of state championship teams.

He wasn't great, though, and never made the first string.

And to this very day, he's known as "Cootie Carter, Non-Starter."

Small towns are the best.

 

[drxman1]

It was really a question. Please feel free to elaborate on the origin of the nickname.

 

[Hankshaker]

Good to know that multiple GYEROers had a black grandfather who survived Shawshank.

Get busy living or get busy dying.

Grundel vs taint, who ya got?

My grandpa's CB handle was "Greasy Man."

He used to cut it up with truckers on the cut-in-the-hill from his attic in Peaselburg. He was a 5'-1" mud marine in Guadalcanal and Okinawa.

Now that would've made for a great podcast.

I also have an Uncle "Hap" and Uncle "Buddy." I didn't really know either of their government names until I was well into college.

 

[Wildcat Willy]

Real pale kid in HS had the nickname "Zelda the Milkweed."

I always thought that was solid.

In my circle, there is an Aquaman, Huge, Swayback and Beef.

And no, Bob, none of the names are sexual in nature.

I had a great Uncle who also fought in Okinawa and also was a regular on the ol' CB radio. "Wagon Man."

No longer. New management co. has turned things around quickly and membership is at its highest # it has had in the past 3 years.

The word "new management" has to be the worst news for the future of a club.

 

[ukwizard]

Look what happened to Bushwood in Caddyshack 2 with new management.

 

[wildcat1973]

As long as they don't put a Mexican Restaurant in the Clubhouse, they'll be fine.

 

[drxman1]

No doubt, Adrian is a fonzanoon.

Jalisco Special at El Bracero after a hot day at the Eli + 2-3 Coronas = perfection. JMO.

 

[PTI (pti)]

Hey gang....

Strokin is gonna be at Fayette Mall tomorrow. Food Court recs??

 

[woodfordandwater]

Gosh damn what a team. The LSU sequence is absurd.

I'd say even worse news is to see tee time for Hollingsworth.

Apparently it's now an arms race to be the most disgusted/most "too cool" for Pokemon Go. Which is going to be just as bad if not worse than the people actually playing it is.

Playing pokemon go is like being gay in the eighties. Defend it and you're definitely doing it. If you're the guy saying "Hey, let people do what makes them happy." You're going to be met with a chorus of I FOUND THE POKEMON SUPER FAN, GIVE ME YOUR LUNCH MONEY, YOU TOUCHIN' NERD-ASS NERD."

...That being said, I'm not playing it and anyone who is is a nerd who's never touched a boob.
