The Everlasting Gobstopper

Watching Gobert swat a few shots in the last game make me think about a nickname for Rudy. Immediately "Gobstopper" came to mind. Wacha all think? Maybe we don't want to give him one yet, you know, like naming a puppy you might not keep. Give the kid three years and i believe we have a really nice player.

That is probably one of the more horrific nicknames Ive ever heard. I realize you're a grandpa, but we don't need to use words from the early 1900's. I mean no disrespect.

: - ) Book in 60s, first movie 70s. Feeling that I need to jump in and defend the honor of a fellow old guy.

Vinylone, yes you do! But that's o.k. I think it would be a pretty horrific nickname myself. I wouldn't expect any respect from a Los Angelino or from someone who wants others to think he is from the " City of Angles".

Is this some sort of math reference I'm not getting?

In regards to respect, I don't know you so respecting you outright would be foolish. I do however give you the benefit of the doubt and think that you're probably a decent human being and a good member of society. Most people are.
 
vinylone- As any self respecting Jazz fan i detest the Lakers, including the city they represent. As far as a "good human being and "good member of society" that is all depending on one's point of view. I would say sometimes i am and sometimes i'm not.
No math references intended. Just a reference to Los Angelenos having a propensity to "work the angles". An imperfect analogy at best. Sheesh! Chill!
So i take it you then respect no one on this forum since it's reasonable to conclude you know none of us.

Hack- "The good old days" also depends on external factors. To some they were 10 minutes ago to others 100 years ago. Where would you like me to start? I'm only good for about the last 50 years.
