It’s never Peter Lupus.
That always brings down the House.
Oh, it fills my every waking moment…
Buster Brown. Now that’s unsuitable.
A SF Giants player from last year (sent back to the minors) is named Buster Posey. I like to imagine that he could introduce me to his sister, Parker.
Seriously, I don’t “get” the joke either. What’s funny about his name beyond a mildly amusing element of “Sounds vaguely like an aquatic themed guest villain on The Venture Brothers”?
Well! I guess you, too, “didn’t even read the post”? He says it isn’t that complicated, and it CERTAINLY isn’t that sophisticated! Still no answer to why he thought it was hilarious, and I don’t think we’re ever going to get one.
Humor is hardly an exact science. A lot of folks think my funniest jokes are completely lame, too.
They’re wrong, but that’s what they think. 
And apparently reading for basic comprehension isnt an exact science either for some folks 
(jab not aimed at you obviously).
Honestly, I don’t know whats SOOO hard to understand about the OP. Yeah, maybe its lame or juvenile, but damn, its not we are trying to understand a Vulcan joke here.
Not at all to be confused with the Brit ww2 and Cold War spy, Lionel " Buster " Crabb who died
a mysterious death ( presumably ) whilst nosing around a Soviet cruiser in 1956.
It raises the question, of course, why the nickname “Buster” whenever a Crabb(e) appears?
Come on someone out there in Dopeland must know.
A point I raised way back in Post #28…
oops
Supposedly Buster Keaton got his nickname because as a kid he was involved in his family’s rather acrobatic vaudeville act. As part of the act he was frequently “dropped” thus Buster. Supposedly Charlie Chaplin gave him that nickname. As for Larry Crabbe and Lionel Crabb if you think about it anybody who goes around “Busting” things would be considered “manly”. Thus a common 1930’s nickname for any action hero type.
I think you’re over-thinking it; Lionel presumably got the nickname “Buster” precisely because there was already a superstar called ‘Buster Crabbe’. If a daring swimmer named “Crabb” is adventurously risking his life for a good cause right around when an Olympic swimming champ named “Crabbe” has famously gone from playing action-hero roles as Tarzan and Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers to starring in a dozen Billy the Kid serials, then he’ll probably get tagged with the same “Buster” nickname out of sheer damn simplicity.
