The official entry form* is now available.
Here are the instructions: Enter a form anonymously. You don’t have to force yourself to come up with nicknames for everyone, but I encourage you to try. And you don’t have to adhere to the Namey McName format, which has gotten really old already. When all the entries are in, I’ll combine all the nicknames and we’ll vote for the best one for each person. Once we’ve voted on everyone, I’ll update the Players page with the winning nicknames.
We’ll do it anonymously so no one will be influenced by prejudice. It will give this contest a Balderdash/Apples to Apples type of dynamic. But, like both of those games, it will be plainly obvious which answers are Dad’s.
I’ll keep it open for as long as we need to, but try to get them in soon so we can have the new nicknames for the rest of the season.
*I don’t know why, but the last two text forms are yellow. Ignore that if you can.
Joe’s middle name = Ralph
This is not a joke.
Use it to your advantage when deciding on nicknames.
I don’t think it is very nice making fun of someone’s middle name, especially since Nannie may have named someone Ralph if she did not stop after having achieved perfection. It would have gone something like Ronnie-Robbie-Roger-Richie-Raymond-Ralph
Does that mean you could have been Ralph?
