Some of you may remember that in my real life I’m an NCAA and youth sports official.
There’s a local dive where we umpires hang out to have a beer or two, and enjoy the best wings (IMO) in the Atlanta area called Clay’s Sports Cafe.
So, just for fun, I created a group on Facebook called appropriately enough: Clay’s Sports Cafe (come join if you’re interested).
Today I was looking at the group, and realized I could name officers. This gave me a great idea to assign various officers with wacky and zany titles. (hey, now’s the time for you to imagine me winking, making a gun with my thumb and pointer finger, and then making that clicking noise w the side of my tongue).
So, help me come up with some titles for my officers.
In college, the dance team I was on had to submit some paperwork to the school (for funding, I think), and the paperwork required the signatures and titles of two student officers. Since we didn’t have any student officers, we just made up titles.
I think we ended up with “Grand Poobah” and “Lord Protector”. “Solicitrix General” and “Czar” were in the running, too.
You probably can’t include it on FaceBook but my current favorite is the one I heard about Rahm Emmanuel, the former Congressman and now Obama’s Chief of Staff.
He is known for his use of profanity and his blunt, confrontational style. His two brothers are also known similarly - the older one is a physician and the younger one is a Hollywood Superagent, the basis for Jeremy Piven’s character on Entourage.
Anyway, so his brothers gave Rahm a little Title Plate for his office - it apparently sits behind his desk on the credenza for all to see.
If y’all are sports officials, or at least sports fans, maybe you should use sports-oriented officer titties … er, I mean, titles.
