Hey Harry's Raincoat

[SlyPokerDog]

You should tell everyone who you used to be and the story behind your new moniker.

Harry Glickman... the raincoat story

[Harry's Raincoat]

It just me.....the former RedHotandRolling (the original). I recently saw that someone else had a moniker that was too close to differentiate from mine. So.......

You all know the story behind the new name....but for those that don't remember....

Harry Glickman went to LA to a Board of Directors meeting for new franchises of the NBA in 1970. He was unable to arrange financial commitments before he arrived at the hotel, so decided to wing it. After being turned down, he headed out and while in the lobby, he realized he had left behind his trusty raincoat. He proceeded back to the room, and when he entered was told that a phone call was waiting from Herman Sarkowsky, who told him "yes" he was in with others.

The result was the dream-come-true for Glickman, and the "Trailblazers" were born.

I haven't been a fan since the actual beginning, but I remember games and fan-dom in about 1974. So, yes, I've been with the team for a very long time.

Anyway, this is the new name for RH&R. Harry for short!!!

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Denny,I will now be called NateBishoptheQueer3!

Why would you do that? Why not just come out of the closet and change your name to "HCPtheQueerL7"? It's more honest, and much easier for the mods to change.

I don't know if that's you in your avatar, but whoever it is may just be the homeliest dude this side of the Pecos. Gads that's ugly! That face and 'do' looks like 5 miles of bad road.

Haha - so did I. I momentarily forgot that this is a Blazers board, and the story behind the name, and was like, "I would never give myself that name. I am nobody's rain coat."
