What do we call Krivsky?

[RedEye]

I've got two goals with this post:

1) Nickname history: Does anyone know the derivation of the common blog nicknames 'Jimbo' (Jim Bowden) and 'DanO' (Dan O'Brien)

2) Nickname for Krivsky: It would be nice to have a blog name for the new GM much like the pervasive "DanO". Does anyone have an idea for what we bloggers should call Krivsky? Based on different names I've seen being used on other threads and a similar post I put up on Red Reporter yesterday, I've compiled a revised list of possibilities here. Please support your favorite or, by all means, suggest a nickname that you think would be more fitting.

Wayne K
Wayne Dog
Wayne's World
Waynesky
WK
Kriv
Dub-K
K-Riv
Krivsky Business
Krivsky Creme
Krivskinator
O'Krivsky

This list is by no means exhaustive, so please chime in with your ideas! I think my personal vote is for 'Kriv'--short, easy to type, and catchy.

And, henceforth, the Reds front offices will be referred to as "Wayne Enterprises"

[RedEye]

Anyone know the history of 'DanO'? Or do we just want to wipe our memory banks and strart over?

[TeamBoone]

Since he signed Dunn I'm going with "Sir!".

Amen!

But I go with Waynesky. It jumped off the page at me on another thread.

[GridironGrace]

I liked Krivy lol

GOOOOO KRIVY!!! way to git-r-dUNN

Could always call him KrivKey lol

Key to the future of the REds was a GM with knowledge of the game

[Newport Red]

Da Kriv!

[corkedbat]

MisterMan if he can pull a topend starter or to out of his bag of tricks before the end of ST.

1) Nickname history: Does anyone know the derivation of the common blog nicknames 'Jimbo' (Jim Bowden) and 'DanO' (Dan O'Brien)

I'm to blame for those, mostly due to laziness...

And for Wayne I'm getting even lazier..."WK"

Let them out and dance for the ant god
like scary magnets to pounce upon command
upon the man

[max venable]

I had already begun referring to him as WayKriv on other posts before I saw this one. Just a thought.

[max venable]

Or how 'bout just Way-K

Or even K-Way?

[Falls City Beer]

Just getting the early jump on the naming rights when Wayne nabs some toolsy infielders or a Rick Reed clone for Pena in June. ;)

WaynK (pronounced Wank) :evil:

Do you have the entire Bob Pollard lyrical catalogue stored in your personal memory banks?

What's worse is that I recognize the lyrics and immediately begin signing along.

It makes me feel 20 again.

yeah he does.

we're going to see Bob on the 28th.

with that I'll just say that Krisvky better have some Bulldog Skin if he ever reads some of FCB's posts. ;)

[mound_patrol]

Let's stay away from Krivo. It doesn't seem fitting right now since jimbo and dano were subpar. WK deserves nothing but the best so far.

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

the krivver on the river??? ugh..sorry

[ochre]

I'll probably call him Garth.

[macro]

Does anyone know the derivation of the common blog nicknames 'Jimbo' (Jim Bowden) and 'DanO' (Dan O'Brien)


Actually, Bowden's is spelled with a capital "B", as in JimBo (accent on the "Bo" as opposed to the "Jim"), short for Jim Bowden, of course. Somewhere in the translation I think it got changed to Jimbo with some folks, with the accent on "Jim".

[Chip R]

And for Wayne I'm getting even lazier..."WK"

I'll give you JimBo but I started calling O'Brien "DanO" pretty much from the get go. I just thought it was an ironic nickname for him since he is such a dork.

[Jpup]

Krivsky will be fine.

[scounts22]

I like Special K! :thumbup:

[TStuck]

If the front offices are Wayne Enterprises then wouldn't that make him...........

http://www.fiftiesweb.com/tv/batman-c.jpg

Holy fungo bats!!

[919191]

I like "W'. I can spell it.

Or is that already taken by the big guy?

[fourrunhomer]

The Kriv Meister

[Krusty]

Special K is only appropriate given what we had to deal with the last five years.

[Chip R]

Holy fungo bats!!

Does that mean Dean Taylor is Robin? ;)

[919191]

And the Joker.

[traderumor]

Special K is only appropriate given what we had to deal with the last five years.Clark Kellogg already has naming rights ;)

[redsfan30]

Can we just call him by his real name? Maybe?

[MikeS21]

Or how 'bout just Way-K

Or even K-Way?
Way-K was what I had in mind. Only I was thinking "WayK."

[guttle11]

I like "The Kriv"

Sounds mysterious...

[StillFunkyB]

His Ron Mexico name is:

Giorgio Liberia

Doesn't really roll off the tongue there.....

[PickOff]

Anything but "Kriv" or "The Kriv." I had originally propsed Waynesky but I don't think that fits our needs.

Positive: "The Duke" (John Wayne reference, due to his rugged good looks :) and since he shoots straight from the hip)

Negative: "Waynky" (or possibly Waynker)

[fourrunhomer]

The K meister...the K-man...the Krivster... makin' trades...signin' contracts..

Ok. I'm sorry. I thought it was annoying back then too.

[fourrunhomer]

I kinda like just K.
We can call his office when he's making deals K-mart.

[Chip R]

Can we just call him by his real name? Maybe?
Blasphemer!

[PickOff]

hmmmmmm

[Wheelhouse]

The problem is, "Krivsky" already sounds like a nickname...

[Sean_CaseyRules]

Special K is great!

[princeton]

Nurse Ratched

[max venable]

He's also a grad of Duke.
Well that settles it for me...I vote for The Duke.

Someone should start a poll with the top 5 or 6 suggestions.

[Red Leader]

Da GM'sky.

[gm]

I'll give you JimBo but I started calling O'Brien "DanO" pretty much from the get go. I just thought it was an ironic nickname for him since he is such a dork.

You are correct, sir. I was too lazy to go into a long explanation;)

[creek14]

I'm in for KSky.
