Frank, I think "Chief Sobbing Hatchet" might be my favorite DUmmie name you've ever come up with. Genius.
Actually, sir, there's two motives for this thread.
I already mentioned one; that I needed to let my fellow Nebraskan know I'm thinking of him, concerned for him, even if I had to use a basically worthless campfire to do it (and this was all I found).
The second motive is I'm trying to come up with a reasonably good name to re-baptize him, as "Omaha's Ed Norton" while okay, isn't great. The past few days I've used other names in headlines for him--I forget what they were, though, which signifies they weren't that good. ("Chief Weeping Bull" I think was one of them.)
I'll keep trying variations until I find one that works best.
I still consider my re-baptizing BenBurch as "Fat Che" as my best work, and my re-christening Redstone as both "the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive" and "Chief S itting Bull" nearly as good.
The second name of course was sarcasm directed against Redstone's alleged, and probably mythical, far-distant remote Native American ancestry, and Omaha Steve of course is another one of that sort; to me, the big guy looks 1/64th Native American and 63/64ths Polish (others insist Irish).
