    It was definitely for Przybilla haha, I just googled Vanilla Gorilla to see what I could say it was based on. I can't find a trailer or any pictures from the movie but apparently Pierce Brosnan was in it so I went with that. It also happened to come out the same year I made this account. Also, I liked the idea of having albino gorillas as my avatar.

    Mine is simple theft of a random name that a few of us on olive trolled another poster with. This guy was supposed to be some highly thought of draft pick with almost super powers, and of course the trolled poster had to inform us that he was well aware of him..ahh, the days of old.

    The only other troll name I played with was SlowPokeyDog..Sly would troll a tad and I loved to respond in kind, mind you I was never as accomplished as he was..

    My family had nice seasons tickets during the jail blazers era, I used to sell them to scalpers to buy weed.. "Oh yea it was a great game Mom (don't ask me the score)."





    <<< Play on Words. Pretty self explanatory right?

    BBert is a multiple entendre combining BasketBall, Blazers, and Bert.

    Add BlueBerries and Bananas and it makes a heck of a smoothy.

    Gotta say Orion, when I initially saw this thread my first thought was WTF?? But it's been very interesting. Nice job! I'm waiting for Mags to check in. I'm betting his name means he takes mole hills and magnifies them into mountains.....

    Magnifier is the name of his Christian Rock band.

    Pretty boring for me, really. I live in the largest city in Oregon and root for both of the state's major colleges. Therefore, I am a Portland Platypus. Truncated to 12 characters for the same reason as Wookee. When I migrated over here, I never thought to expand it.

    Honestly, I thought I would get laughed off, but I also thought it would be a god way to help us get to know each other a bit better as well as form some unity with all the disagreements about who the Blazers have and what we should do with them. I thought this thread would remind us we have more in common than different with our fandom of the Blazers. :)

    I thought it was awesome to meet so many of you the other night. Trying to bring us closer I suppose. :)

    I bet even MAgs like his better too!

    Or maybe it's because that's how his wife finds "little Mags".

    Well since Mags is one of the few main regs left that hasn't informed us. Let the speculation begin!!!

    I always thought it was a magnifying glass on a chain attached to his belt loop as a visual aid
