The Nickname Project: Pryzbilla Poll

by Trutherlizer on Aug 9, 2008 3:39 PM PDT

Only two viable nicknames emerged in Edger comments about a nickname for Joel and both were more plays on his name than descriptions of how he plays. Still, I can’t offer a better alternative myself. And that’s the Truth.

(It is also the Truth that the above, at 39 words, is twenty six words short of the minimum number required to publish, so I add these: absolutely banal and confounding dead-beat emanations from gajillions of hapless, jejune and kinky L*kers.)

Poll

Godzilla

And we get to hear some of the B.O.C. song of the same name during the game when he does something sweet.

Fabulous. I'm not sure how I missed that one!

My dad first brought that up to me about 3 years ago: “Noah, don’t you think it would be sweet if they played the B.O.C. song Godzilla, but instead substitued ‘Przybilla’ evertime they said ‘Godzilla’” “Yeah Dad, that would be pretty sweet.”

. . . . 1 month later at the next game, and at damn near every game since: “Noah, don’t you think it would be sweet if they played the B.O.C. song Godzilla, but instead substitued ‘Przybilla’ evertime they said ‘Godzilla’” “Yeah dad, that would be pretty sweet.”

Gotta love Dad's

I took my Dad to the Denver game (#10 in the Streak).....it was was awesome. We were estranged for many years but are pretty good now and that was special (at least to me)

The only reason im not voting

is that you went through and chose 2 out of all the ones offered, then left the rest off the ballot. I would like to see you go through the entire thread, and offering us all the options. just cause one didnt get a lot of responces doesnt meen nobody liked it, maybee enough was said, so why reply. maybee not, im wrong alot, so what do I know? But for me personally, I would like to see all the available options on the next poll.

I’m taking my ball and going home. hmpf!
