Bulltron Regional, Second Round, Part 1

We will miss Mercedes Bunz, who was taken out in a 52-48 squeaker by Col. Many-Bears Grinder. Not so much for her name -- a quality pun, but not Final Four material -- but for her pompous, pseudoscientific, seemingly Google-translated writings on digital media. This from a recent post on her blog about war and journalism:

When is a picture to good? Shall we make war look like a fantastic action thriller? Reporting the matériel battle is scrupulously precise. We need to be careful not to become too live, and too detailed. When does transparency turn into blind fascination? As journalists we are part of the war, and will always be. But this is awful.

When is a name too good? Never.

Two votes below.

No. 1 Monquarius Mungo: Skateboarding scofflaw.
No. 9 Rockwell C. Bonecutter: Technology executive.



No. 12 Leviticus Payne: Top h.s. football recruit.

No. 13 Col. Many-Bears Grinder: Tennessee Commissioner of Veteran Affairs.

I fear there is a Steele Sidebottom moment happening with Leviticus Payne. I'll be devastated if he upsets Rockwell.

I agree. I have a feeling that the Michigan fans are stuffing the ballot. Rockwell is championship caliber name, and I would hate to see it go to waste.

Hmmm - also seems to me that Leviticus is benefiting from some surrupticious campaigning. How can he possibly be leading Many-Bears? In fact, how did his only mildly amusing moniker even get on the ballot?

On to the other vote Rockwell, despite a final 4 quality name, works for the company whose consulting expertise recommended that my job (and many of my colleagues) be outsourced to India - so its the 2nd degree skateboarder for me.

Indeed! In my bracket, I predicted a win for the Colonel. Bonecutter is also a favorite of mine. Leviticus Payne isn't bad--certainly not as terrible as Sidebottom--but it's not winning material.

you guys are insane. Leviticus Payne rolls off the tongue so brilliantly. It sounds like a damn Samuel L Jackson movie

Schmu said...

Agreed with StuBram2, Leviticus Payne is very strong. It's not Taco B.M. Monster, mind you, but I have no nefarious purpose and I do like Levitcus over the Colonel.

I am not saying Leviticus Payne is not a winner; it's a great name. But, there are 300 more votes for that contest than Mungo/Bonecutter match-up right above it. One can only assume people are coming here just to vote for Payne.

What is wrong with you people? COL. MANY-BEARS GRINDER!!!! Are you all insane? This is one of the most awesome names ever. She will kick the living crap out of you, and she won't even blink while doing it!

We're going to miss Rolls royce Bunz, who had been taken out in a 52-48 squeaker by Col. Many-Bears Coffee grinder. Not so much to be with her identify -- a good word play herebuy swtor credits, however, not Ultimate Several substance -- but also for the girl pompous, pseudoscientific, relatively Google-translated writings about digital mass media. This kind of from your latest article on her blog regarding warfare along with blogging:

When was images to good? Will we all make swtor credits conflict appear to be a wonderful action thriller? Canceling the actualcombat is scrupulously specific. We have to do not grow to be also are living, and too thorough. When can openness develop cheap swtor credits into blind enthrallment? While correspondents were the main war, and will be. Yet this is awful.
