I don't remember ever calling him that in his time here.

There was the Dream, Mad Max, Air Bullard, the Junkyard Dog...don't remember a Jet.

I think he got that nickname when he was in high school.

OK, but did we ever call him that during his time here?

It's a good nickname for him - especially back then. Smith & Maxwell played at lightspeed.

I was hoping to see a heap of smart answers here.

I thought it was because he was gay, and you could park an F-14 Tomcat up his butt!!!!!!

(J/K, I loved Kenny when he was in Houston. But not like I love Mandry......... No matter what I say, it sounds wrong!)
