    Christmas Vacation

    Clark gets Jelly of the month club for a Christmas bonas, and Eddie says it's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year.


    Since Lillard was a gift from Brooklyn, I say we call him Jelly because he is the gift that keeps on giving


    It's not for everyone, only brilliant people like myself really get the awesomeness of it

    I think that requires a little too much explanation to be a good nickname.

    Jelly would have fit Felton like a glove.

    It's by far the best suggestion to this point. I will hear nothing more of it until someone improves on my awesomeness.....Not an easy task, Mr.

    I challenge you to think of one other nickname that requires that much explanation?

    Michael Jordan - Air Jordan

    Magic Johnson - Magic

    Larry Bird - Larry Legend

    Kobe Bryant - The Rapist

    They're all self-explanatory!

    I don't know what this means. But it sounds dirty. Or at least sticky.

    So....if Clark had gotten a subscription to the "panty of the month club", we would be calling Lillard "Dame granny panties"???

    Yes. As far as other teams are concerned, when you play the Blazers you have to face The Omen. It's Ominous. Etc. I don't want him bringing gifts.

    If it were the gift that kept on giving the whole year, then yes.

    Heh. I'm just going to call him 'O'.

    Some people go by one name. Some go by first intial+first syllable of last name.

    Lillard only needs one letter!

    O!

    And if someone has to ask why, they don't need to know!

    How about Zeus?!? It's a play on Zeke, in that it's similar to a player he's been compared to. Lillard will rule the Cascades (and Olympians - like Zeus- until Seattle gets a new team). His symbols are thunderbolt (DL is quick and can explode out of nowhere), eagle, bull, and oak. In some cultures, Zeus is also a cloud gatherer.

    All things that are traits of DL and/or the PNW.

    How is Zeus, nerdy? He's the father of Gods and men? God of the Sky? If anything, it's too lofty for a new rookie.

    But I guess we could just go for "Lils". I mean, nothing incites fear more than a name like "Lils", right?
