<TBD>'s Army!

[Jimmy M.]

So I was sitting here thinking (dangerous, I know). We all know that the Straight Pool forum here on AZB is BY FAR the best forum of the lot. Or, at the very least, we believe it. That reminds me of another group that is being discussed in the main forum which believes their little forum is superior to the other forums.

Frankly, it isn't fair that they have a catchy name while we do not. How can we claim Forum Superiority without a catchy name? Now, what we need to move forward here is a fearless leader to step up and lend his, or her, image to our cause. I'm thinking of Blackjack since, aside from being a huge contributor to this forum, I believe it was him who actually lobbied to get this forum created. And, lastly, his nickname is catchy in its own right. How can OUR forum not be superior with a catchy (times 2) name like "Blackjack's Army"?

I would offer my own name but, alas, we already have a "JimBo's Army" and "Jimmy's Army", or any other other variation of my name, would simply invoke the image of a knock-off, or a spin-off, which we are definitely not (are we?)!

So, here are some suggestions:

"BlackJack's Army" (our little secret logo can be the ace and king of spades)
"Jewett's Army" (our secret logo can be an apple (subtle reference to Newton).)
"Bluepepper's Army" (secret logo? What else? The Wei Table!)
"Lipsky's Army" (I'm drawing a blank on the logo here. Maybe the universal New Yorker symbol for "hello" - the middle finger! We can work on this later.)

Alright. The caffeine is wearing off and that's all I have.

Peace out, 'n s**t.

Thanks for including me in there, but I think the leader should be one of the mega ball runners. And although I hang out way too much here, I'm a new kid on the block.

[Steve Lipsky]

Hahahaha... I vote for Blackjack. He's definitely our leader here in 14.1 land.

Btw, there's a Main Forum out there somewhere? What does it look like?

[bluepepper]

Blackjack and the Pokers?

[tucson9ball]

deserves a bump to get more responses

[mullyman]

You should remove the word Army from it too if you don't want it to look like a spin off.
MULLY

"MULLY'S PANTY RAIDERS" sounds good.

[D Player]

I like the suggestion Mully, but I would have to cast my vote for Blackjack too...

Although, I do like getting rid of "Army".

What about "BlackJack's Brigade"?

[MikeM]

...combining all four and adding John Schmidt to the list and making it .....


The Black and Blue, JewLipSchmidt's Brigade!?!:grin:

MM:smile:

I must remove myself from the ballots. With such seasoned champions and professionals like Ray Martin, John Schmidt, Danny Harriman, and Travis Trotter, I cannot accept such an honor.

I don't even have a 14.1 trophy (although I could have one made and I could pose for a picture, sign it and have it hung up in Betmore's Basement)

Then again, this forum was my idea - even if that idea was given to me by Steve Lipsky and a few other people.

Wow.

After reading this before posting, I now realize that I'm just another player - and I like it that way!

Trotter is a true champion. I hear he runs hundreds before breakfast every day...:D

Luke! You cannot escape your destiny!
