Cliff Alexander signs with Orlando

[Chris Craig]

Cliff sounds like a name from the 50's that you'd find in a Hardy Boys book or something

Have you ever heard of an Oriental American named Rusty? I mean, really, have you?

disclaimer...I do not necessarily know what he's talking about...it was a random Rusty search

 

[riverman]

Still no Orientals.

This one cracked me up

I stayed on that site for an hour reading short stories.

after 24 hours of thinking about the lack of Asians named Rusty, I've come to the conclusion that at least in Japan Rusty would be great as an English name because the locals would call you Lusty....but if your family name was Nomo....it would be Lusty Nomo....in the case of Chinese family names..you might end up being called Lusty Ho......now I understand why they choose Butch instead

 

[jlprk]

Never say Butch Ho on this board. We don't want to insult HCP's mother.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Rusty Coones!

Google him.

 

[Strenuus]

Rusty Coones!

Google him.

Also, there's someone in baseball called Rusty Kuntz.

A lot of Japanese women are named Busty. I didn't know that until I just now looked it up to find a link I could post here. After 19 pages of Bing, I'm still looking for a postable one.

I remember that guy from back when I actually cared about baseball in my ill spent youth. Sorry to say his name is pronounced Koontz. Much less funny than the more obvious pronunciation, but seriously, if that was your last name, you'd go by Koontz, too. Well, unless you were a female character in an Ian Fleming novel.

It's just good they went with Rusty instead of Crusty

 

[jlprk]

It's terrible. I've spent hours and hours searching for a link I can post. I can't stand it anymore.

I wonder if it's still possible he'll end up a Blazer. Mediocre Man?
