What YOU can do for Ukulele Ike

Many of us SDMB devotees have profited from the generosity of Ukulele Ike in two recent threads, book recommendations and cocktails. (I personally received the following, free of charge:

Books

Cocktail:

I think it would behoove us to do something for Ukulele Ike in return. Therefore:

In my modest capacities as DBA, in the next (Oracle) database I design, I will include a table called “ukulele_ike”.

In my next outdoor adventure in grass mowing, I shall mow Ukulele Ike in my grass. Won’t my neighbors be impressed?

Well, I have already mentioned Ike once in my “Movieline” column (by the way, there will be a lot of SD in-jokes in the Sept. “Scooby-Doo” column).

And I’ve loaned him some good books, videos and cassettes . . . I think I’m off the hook.

I shall shave the words “Ukulele Ike” into my chest hair as a tribute to this good man.

I shall stop smashing ukuleles on sight.

Oh Ukeleleike
We love yoooooooo!

It’ll sound better after I’ve had one of those cocktails.

If I ever make it to a NYC Doperfest, I will NOT say he looks like Jerry Springer, and if others bring it up, I will defend him.

Next time I have sex with my husband, I promise to call out Ukulele Ike’s name.

Might be a while though…

I made my husband join a bridge club. He jumps next Tuesday.

While I have yet to partake in the yummy goodness that is Ike, I shall from this moment on, in Ike’s honor, drop to my knees and bow like a coolie to anyone I personally witness playing a Ukelele.

“Blessed be the music from the tiny stringed instrument!”

If knowledge is power, then just call me PEPCO.

Since I don’t have any kids yet, I promise to name the first one Ukelele Ike, regardless of gender.


Well, honey just tastes better when it comes from a bear’s head.

My next test machine’s network name will be Ukelele Ike, getting away from the Salinger theme I usually use (Bananafish, Phoebe, Zooey). All my coworkers are too illiterate to get the Salinger theme anyway…


There’s a pork chop in every beer.

I shall name a duckling in his honor…and said duckling will live out it’s life on the farm, never to be eaten, as a reminder of all that is good and holy - Ukulele Ike

The next time I see a hot guy in a bar, I will assume his name is Ukelele Ike. I will then buy him a drink and make wild, passionate love to him. :wink:

Evidently, I rock.
Ask the Gay Guy!

I will quit my job and walk cross-country wearing a sandwich board witnessing to everyone I see and every reporter that interviews me about “The Great Ukulele Ike.”


~Never got a Wally sig~

I will rename my bike, presently known as “Wally’s Folly,” to the “Uke Machine.”

I will, over the course of the next several doper IRL’s, buy for Ukulele Ike one of each and every drink he placed in the Ask the Uke guy thread.

And as an added bonus for our fellow dopers, we will toast to the long life and health of each drink’s namesake. And our livers.

I think that’s pretty nice, considering he invented a girlie drink for me.

Heck, I’ll give Uke my firstborn, whenever that happens. Would you prefer a boy or a girl, Uke?


I have all the answers, it’s just that most of them aren’t right.

I promise to write the name Ukelele Ike in every bathroom stall between Memphis & New Orleans, and then all over New Orleans.

Long may his hallowed name ring out through the land!
