Help with a Problem and Saturday Ride

2/17/2011

12 Comments

 
Picture
One of the peleton's most beloved figures, Amanda O, has been nagging me about creating a nick name for her.  At various times, she has named herself "Hot Mama" and "Fast Panda", two names that don't quite hit the mark.  In the former case she's not a mama and in the latter case, she's not that fast.  I've been scratching my head over this one for awhile and am stumped.  If anyone has any name ideas then let em fly.  I attach this image as inspiration for the naming process.

Saturday's forecast continues to improve with a high of 46. The overnight low will be fairly warm so let's ride at 9:00am out of New Albany.  Distances will be around 40 and 55 but you can always add on if you want.  Will pause at the River Road Coffee Shop at the halfway point.

I always thought her nickname was Fat Panda... and I always kinda liked it.

Is there a requirement for relevance... I mean, Cindy's nickname is Flying Tuna!

If I must submit an alternate...

how about: Green Caboose?

The Boss - That one works

Polish Pony... wasn't this one requested?

The Grand Poobah... Excellent

Recumbent Dude - Doesn't he ride an upright 1/2 the time? (Although that makes it a bit funnier in my book...)

Satan Mick - Love this one

Flying Tuna - WTF!? Hysterical! Unqualified best nickname on the BLOG.

The Kendaites - That sounds like a cult religion. Funny.

Pastor Mark
Mitch the Engineer
All Name + Job ones... good

But with the possible exception of that polish pony one, I think they were all honestly gotten.

Isn't there a law/rule against asking for a nickname? What was the punishment for doing that the last time???

What is wrong with the plethora of names she already has:
Hot Mama
Fat Mama
Fast Panda
Fat Panda
Hot Fast Panda
Hot Fat Panda

Seriously! How about: "The Collector"
;-D

I forgot:

Hot Fat Mama
Hot Fast Mama
Hot Fat Panda Mama
Hot Fast Panda Mama

And: Hot Mama Fast Panda

And isn't the punishment for committing the crime of asking for a name, getting a really derogatory, yet funny name?

SHE'S A WITCH!!!

Add to the list of nick names Shoeless Amanda. We did the Fall Hoot...lots of hard climbs...only to find Amanda had forgotten her biking shoes and did the ride in this soft sold, non-clip in Mary Jane-looking girly shoes. Most people would have headed home when they realized they were shoeless. I could barely keep up in my Sidi's. She's still in the record books on that one. AND...she kept with the group fine the whole way. That was pretty darn impressive if you ask me.

I kind of like the Shoeless Amanda. or something that goes with forgetting things; that Fall Hoot wasn't the first time she has ridden without her bike shoes and seems to do so just fine.

Okay all I have to say is wow. And no, I never asked for a nickname, I just thought way back when Mark was doing that "who's who" thing on here that I'd be mentioned. But whatever. Apparently I'm not fast enough, not in attendance enough, whatever....anyway, Big Dingo, don't know who you are, but you're now on my sh*t list. Cindy, thanks for your input, and also I like Peggy's suggestion. But I am okay with earning a nickname if that should be the case!
