I like ALT135 for Ajin"ç"a, maybe even better than JInx.

Jinx works better in real life and ALT135 works better on message boards.

I think we can do better than "Initials + jersey number" for Mek.

Yup. This is chock-full-of-win.

Toodles it is. Until he stops toodling and mans up, i.e. dunks the God-Durn ball instead of flip layups.

Can anyone explain me what "toodles" mean? Seriously.

Adam Morrison - besides Ammo, Ammo35, Stache etc. I would suggest "Smokescreen" (he smokes nicotine and he yet has to live up the expectations). Not that we would use it. I made up just for fun.

Okafor had some sort of interview on NBA.com or something. Perhaps national TV, but I think it was NBA.com.

He took questions or something, and when it was over he logged off/signed off by saying "toodles."

That's my recollection, and I'm sticking to it.

Needless to say, it was ... not particularly ... well... it was a very weak weak way to say good bye.

--toodle pip!

"Toodles" is a great nickname, maybe the best on the team.

It could be a running gag, whenever somebody asks where it comes from we can make up a different story.

"Toodles" is short for "à tout à l'heure," Mek spent years with the french foreign legion before being discovered by Jim Calhoun.

"Toodles" was one of the lost boys in Peter Pan who Mek identified with.

"Toodles" is short for "(Bad) Attitude," Mek was given the name in middle school. It was shortened (and feminized) later when Mek became a model citizen.

thats great!

until mek rips a rim off the backboard, he's got toodles as his nickname.
