Apparently posting only at Deadspin, as the previous Blogger-based site is too obsolete.

And we're already into Round 2:

Damn, that's what I was going to say. This year's Cinderella story

[OrangEngr 1,035]

Though I do see Jizyah Shorts being the prohibitive favorite

[GhostOfTomJoad 9,382]

I like Lionel Pimpin to meet Bubba Buckaloo on their side of the bracket in the final four, but I rarely have my finger on the pulse of these things.

[Buffsoldier 1,895]

And again I say: do not sleep on General Booty.

[Walden Ponderer 12,639]

Alpha Omega Nickelberry III seems way underrated as a 4 seed.

[SuingToGetAMessageBoard? 3,861]

Truman Peyote got an audible guffaw from me, which is the highest possible honor in this game.  Shame he got bumped in the first round. 

[Prepuce of Doom 21,112]

This asshole should be disqualified for openly campaigning. 

You can bet that the likes of Deicide Huxtable isn't pandering online. 

[Mole 4,333]

I always appreciate people willing to get terminal degrees to ornament their names.

['stache 21,899]

I'm cheering for Precious Orji. My darkhorse is Chastity Gooch-Fant. Truman Peyote losing to Storm Duck is a travesty.

I know someone whose last name is Lawyer, and he's got a JD and an MD, so he's Dr. Lawyer. 

I'm pretty sure he picked up the law degree just for the name.

[Jerry Callo 8,777]

Dr. Lawyer, Esq.

[Armybrat 40,945]

Competition is invalid without Otillie Prickle. I actually met her in 1961.

Jizyah Shorts is a damn strong #1 seed and my pick to win it all.

My darkhorse is Shaky Sherpa.

Iswydt

[tokamak 6,449]

Can't believe Corno Pronk is gonna lose to Bubba Buckaloo. Goddamnit, voting public. My boy (girl?) Shaky Sherpa is going down, too, but at least it's to Rev. Pix Butt, which is pretty awesome.

[Rimbo 26,175]

Storm Duck with a narrow lead... this could be an upset!

[Walden Ponderer 12,639]

I'm still hangin' strong with my overall pick to win, four seed Alpha Omega Nickelberry III. But only a fool would count out Chastity Gooch-Fant.

[Auto Driller 2,506]

I just really don’t see how Jizyah Shorts loses. But I guess that’s why you play the games.

Jiz isn't just winning, Jiz is creaming her opponents.

Can someone explain Storm Duck to me? I don’t get why it’s funny.

BECAUSE IT'S STORM DUCK

It's like this: you take a chilled bottle of champagne by Andre, and you shake it up. It sloshes all over the floor after opening, and you can watch the winos fighting to lap it up.

That has nothing to do with Storm Duck, but it's a fun way to waste time.

I thought you were going to talk about Cold Duck.

Didn't think this was worth its own thread, but these are definitely some George Lucas-assed names of baseball players. 

 

[HornsOverIthaca 2,335]

Truman Peyote is my favorite.

[Rimbo 26,175]

https://deadspin.com/its-time-to-vote-in-the-name-of-the-year-elite-eight-1834241511

Elite Eight! Vote early, vote often!

[Rimbo 26,175]

Uncompetitive round. Only one of the four matches is even close. Storm Duck, Pope Thrower and Jizyah Shorts are running away with it.

And none of them compete with Jizyah Shorts. That's just an absolutely unforgivable name.

[HornsOverIthaca 2,335]

I hadn’t heard of Dr. Taco BM Monster before.  That one had me in near convulsions.

[Rimbo 26,175]

Here's The Name Of The Year Final Four

i literally just looked to see if there's been an update, since it'd been a while, and it was posted 23 minutes ago... dang, I'm good

[Rimbo 26,175]

Darn. Pope Thrower is beating Storm Duck in the early returns. I can't say I like it, but I also can't say Pope Thrower isn't a good name.

Jizyah Shorts gonna whup 'em all though. She's dominating Chastity Gooch-Fant despite today's blog being all about her.

['stache 21,899]

This whole thing is messed up. I also can't believe they didn't include Connor Assalley.

 

[Walden Ponderer 12,639]

Chastity Gooch-Fant:

 

Jizyah Shorts:

 

I dunno. Seems pretty cut and dried to me.

 

The other semi is two dudes, which puts me in the "Who Cares" column.

[Rimbo 26,175]

"Well, we can't say we're surprised."

The finals. Pope Thrower vs Jizyah Shorts. Remember: Your vote makes a difference.

['stache 21,899]

I like the top comment.

"Maybe they will meet-cute, fall in love and have a baby:  Jizz Thrower."

No Le-a or Deathstar? Lame.

[Rimbo 26,175]

oh by the way...

in what can only be considered a stunning upset...

POPE THROWER WINS

['stache 21,899]

That's ridiculous. Obviously some aggy style internet poll tomfuckery going on.

[Rimbo 26,175]

There definitely seems to be some of that sentiment in the comments.

This is such bullshit. Storm MOTHERFUCKING Duck was the superior name in this bracket, and the ONLY reason it lost to Pontiff Tosser was because of reactionary shitheads who just HAD to vote against it because they felt it was too popular. Storm MOTHERFUCKING Duck should have beaten Cardinal Lobber, and would have mopped the floor with Jizyah Shorts if it had (rightfully) won.

You fucking assholes.  I’ll never forgive you for this.  Assholes like you are the reason we have Trump.
