I need a dead celeb

In My Humble Opinion
1

Hi,

I’m joining a softball team at work, and we have to pick the name
of a dead celeb as our “nickname”. I was thinking of Jesse James,
but not so sure. What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

Some ideas available here-

I like ‘Nell Carter’, but ‘Mr. Rodgers’ would be pretty good name, too.

3

awww, poor Mr. Rogers. That’s a good one, but I would feel bad
using that one

4

The John Holmes Big Bat All-Stars

hrh

5

Orville Reddenbacher
The “Where’s the Beef” Lady (and you should spell it just like that)
Estelle Getty
The Marlboro Man

6

Paul Lynde?

7

Since you’re a team, you should be the James Gang.

8

Ty Cobb.

Jesus.

The Virgin Mary.

Teddy Roosevelt (“walk softly but carry a big stick”)

How about “Homer”? :smack:

10

oooh, I think HOMER wins! Not necessarily a dead celebrity,
but I like the double meaning. Simpsons are an all-time favorite!

11

Orville Reddenbacher just made me think of Dave Thomas (of Wendy’s fame).

12

:dubious:
Hello? Ancient philosopher? The Iliad? The Odyssey?

Bah. Kids these days.

13

That’s why I said “double meaning”…
meaning (1) Homer (dead) and (2) Homer Simpson (immortal).

C’mon, gimme some credit!

14

Um, I believe it was a reference to the dead celebrity poet?

15

Well, that’s why he said “double meaning” and “not necessarily a dead celebrity”- because he knew about the other Homer.

16

Wow. Double-posted slams and counterslams! Now that’s impressive.

17

Gosh, why not go with “The Dead Celebrities”?

18

Estelle Getty is not dead.

I almoost had a heart attack reading that…the Golden Girls is my all time favorite show and I love Estelle…:slight_smile:

Jackie Gleason - You’d be “The Great Ones” , slogan: “to the moon, Alice!”

Screamin’ Jay Hawkins - the man was too cool for words.

Steve McQueen - ditto

Anthony Perkins - slogan: “send 'em to the showers”

Lee Marvin: There was a group of filmmakers and actors who called themselves 'The Sons Of Lee Marvin"

Kenesaw Mountain Landis - see who gets the joke

Martin Van Buren - “the Van Buren Boys” for all the Seinfeld fans

Thanks…I thought I was going crazy or something.
