When I was a kid the Baltimore Bullets were a good basketball team. Wesley Unseld, Gus Johnson, Jack Marin, Kevin Loughery. Oh, and Earl “The Pearl” Monroe. I wanted to play like Earl Monroe. I was disappointed when we read Steinbeck’s “The Pearl” in 7th grade and found out it had nothing to do with basketball. Well, eventually the Bullets moved to DC and became the Washington Bullets. Then the NBA decided they wanted a less violent nickname for the team so they became the Washington Wizards.
The rest of the world needs to fall in line with appropriate name changes:
- “Wizards Over Broadway” – Woody Allen needs to change his movie title.
- “Wizard” – Frank Bullit becomes Frank Wizard in the Steve McQueen classic
- “Number One with a Wizard” – Yeah
- “Red Wiz” Energy Drink – OK, we need to re-visit that one…
- “Wizard Proof Vest” – Uh-huh
- “Wizard Points” in a blog post – Uh-oh. You caught me…
We need to replace the black dots with little wizards. Anybody got a phone # for Microsoft?
