5.       Nickname Change: 

As many of the Faithful know, Davy has been (ahem) complaining for a long time about his nickname.  He has been particularly grieved by Red Warrior, who wandered out to the QAG for the first time (drunk if I recall) and got a really cool nickname before his first Flutter Kick.  Fair enough.  Much like one of today’s FNGs has lucked into the name “Ranger”, the naming process  can seem arbitrary and capricious—and of course it is.  However, there is the remedy of the re-name, which can be triggered either by some cataclysmic event (see Smokin’ Joe emerging from the Chrysalis of Anonymity to become Commodore Griswold, simply by donning a Starsky-inspired leather-buttoned Workout Cardigan—yes it can happen that way), or in reaction to repeated requests for a new name—which is the case here. 

Therefore, after much thought, consultation with The Faithful and prayer (yes, prayer Brother—this is not done lightly), Davy’s request is granted.  It is therefore ordered, adjudged and decreed that the wholesale-mutual fund-salesman-formerly-known-as “Davy” shall now by known as The CrotchRocket.  YesYes.  No more Chrysalis of Anonymity for you Brother.  You’re a butterfly.  And a butterfly is free to fly.  Aye. 

6.       Today’s Chuck:   Chuck Norris won American Idol using only sign language.

7.       Sweepertee:  “The Impression that I Get”  by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.   

a)      What could Dicky Barret mean by “knock on wood”? 

b)      Did the Dickster have the Qrusade in mind with this call out:

I'm not a coward. I've just never been tested.
I'd like to think that if I was I would pass.
Look at the tested and think there but for the grace go I.
I might be a coward….I'm afraid of what I might find out.

**also, the sharp-eyed QAGster might note that this group’s name is the inspiration (in part, there was a raptor involved as well) for the nickname of our own MMOB.  Just admitting . . .

Just saying . . .
