The Hard Part Is Over

So before we get to the main part of this blog entry, a special shout out to Famous Amos who definitely does not suffer from Pelosiophobia.

AW: Have you ever noticed that eating hazelnuts is just like eating Ferrero Rocher, except without the chocolate?

I actually hadn't noticed that Aims, but if it makes any difference, I do have hazel eyes, but no hazel nuts.

Moving right along... Well it's taken many weeks and a lot of late nights, but the quest to give everyone a nickname has finally been completed. It's probably worth pointing out that no team without a full complement of nicknames has ever won a game at nationals.

And now, my favourite part of writing a blog, cutting and pasting from previous entries. I would marry Ctrl-C, but I would still see Ctrl-V behind her back...

The Nicknames Section

It's in red, it must be important. That's the first think they teach you at blog-school.

Please note, I have just come into possession of an English-Native American baby name book, so you'll all get to find out your Native American names. It's very spiritual, so clear your chakras and move on...

Amy: A newcomer to the nickname scoreboard, let's see what she can come up with. Aims (sounds too much like a no-good shooter) Ample Girth (not bad) Amos...hmmm...Amos and Bavros that sounds like a good combination, Amos to K-Moss, that's gold. Welcome Amos!

Bav: Bavro, Bavros, Neo, If-You-Shaved-Off-All-The-Hair-That-Was-Red-And-Curly-You-Would-Look-Seven

Bec: After much head-scratching, we are going with Micka or Micah, something like that, definitely not Mieke though. Other options were Pelosiophobic, Teeny-Peeny-Michelini and Fake-Peeny-Michelini, however these were considered too long, which was the first time Fake-Peeny had ever heard that particular complaint.

For those of you who were wondering, Pelosiophobia means Fear Of Nuts.
