Bailey's New Nickname-Your thoughts

Okay now.  Riding the narcotic highs of a substantial 2-game win streak, I'd like to pose the following question to a vote, and consensus is not required:  What Andrew Bailey nickname bunches yer boxers? 

Star-divide

This is a partial list; composed during a confluence of endorphins, testosterone, and jubilation;  stemming from a desperately-needed win streak.  The choice is yours.  Served with a light creme sauce and beautifully garnished with fresh green & gold veggies.  Sides are extra, but I recommend the Suzuki platter.  Ask your server about our whine list...the '05 Lackey Cabernet is particularly dry and complex...

 

Let the voting begin.

That won't make me fail any tests, will it?

The Bailey Show?

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

I'd rather have something simple than something forced.

Bailey’s initials are AB. AB = Abe.

I don't think that will get by the "PC police"

"Snookie wombat"

You have to admit, it’s different.

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

by Nico on May 10, 2009 9:48 AM PDT reply actions  

As long as he stays as good as he has been...

he can avoid Failey. That’s the last nickname we want him to earn.

by IM4Oakgal on May 11, 2009 12:18 AM PDT reply actions  

"cloeer" it is!

Just once, I want Bailey to trot in to start the 9th and hear the fans chanting, “Cloeer! Cloeer! Cloeer!” Then I will know that AN has truly arrived.
