true, we're not seeing cool nicknames like we used to -

lots of flying went on in the '70's,
Gerrit Wolsink, "The Flying Dentist"
Heikki Mikkola, "The Flying Finn"

"Bad" Brad
"Hurricane" Hannah
Rick "Lumberjack" Burgett
Kent Howerton, "Rhinestone Cowboy"

and of course, "The Man"

Todd " Stinky Pants " Calhoun - dude was a bad ass.

A real bad ass.

Local Rhode Island boy that spent most of his career in Fiji - before

being institutionalized in the late '60's near Rancho Cucomonga

in a very-customized van.

Those that remember him will never forget him and those that don't wish

they hadn't.

i'm not digging the whole name abbreviation thing. Or taking your name and morphing it into your nickname....

DV12 = Lame
Cobra? sweet.

IT9 = Lame
Hot Sauce? sweet.

GL8 = Lame
Zulu Warrior or Zulu ? sweet.
