The numpty questions thread

[JasRulz63]

Everyone at the club - barring Matthew Scarlett - calls Christensen 'Bundy'. Scarlett calls him 'Chrisso', which he doesn't particularly like, but the forward-midfielder admits he is a "bit afraid" to tell the veteran defender that just yet.

It was a nickname given to him by an uncle in Darwin, who called him that at an early age after Al Bundy, from the US TV sitcom Married, With Children.

To this day, Christensen is not sure why, but it has stuck.

That would make more sense [emoji16] I'm way off then !

All good. I read his uncle called him that after the character from the show. I just wonder if they understood the original reference.

 

[Skoob]

Not The serial killer Alan Ted Bundy I believe.

FTFY

Why have you got fancy pants emoticons BTW?

They're part of an app I've downloaded, was unsure whether they'd work in Tapatalk. Seems they do.

Good stuff. I was always under the impression that that was a reference to the serial killer but not so. Live and learn.

Are we going with a new sponsor in regard to merchandise this year?? Getting rid of BLK formally known as Kooga?

Interestingly/coincidentally, Ted Bundy, the serial killer did have a brother named Al.
The name Al Bundy is also a name of American folklore.

The much more heroic and sexy Al Bundy however...

FIRST FUN FACT:
While many people believe that the Bundy family was named after serial killer Ted Bundy, creators Michael G. Moye and Ron Leavitt actually named the family after their favorite wrestler, King Kong Bundy, who ended up guest starring on the show twice; once as himself in the Halloween episode Flight of the Bumblebee, and once as Peggy’s Uncle Irwin in the episode All in the Family.

The basis for the TV Al being linked to Ted is a very common misconception that I think we have all had at some stage.

I didn't know BLK was Kooga. For some reason I thought BLK was stared by Denis Rader from Kansas.

October 30.

Judging by previous years, most likely toward the end of next week (ie once the trade furore dies down).

Furore, what furore?

Where does Christensen's nick name "Bundy" come from?

I was kind of hoping it came from Bundaberg Rum Then we could get them to sponsor the team and Allen can do TV adds with "Bundy Bear". I recall a survey of what supporters of different teams drink (2014 I believe) and at the Gabba the Lions crowd favourite tipple was "rum" followed by Beer. So for the marketing geniuses at the Lions - Get on up to Bundaberg Rum's offices NOW...... Forget the live lion - we need a Drop Bear

Where did this "Leppo" running gag originate?

Nowhere near as funny as "Lepping Leo".

 

[Mr Ripper]

"reddo going nowhere"

Saw that tweet, but how and where did the Leppo thing come into it?

I went to a Melbourne Acers baseball game a few years ago and if a certain player from the other team got struck out it was $3 beers for that innings. We should have $3 bundys for the rest of the quarter when Bundy kicks a goal.

I thought it had something to do with the cigar and Groucho Marx.
