Fun Fact

Sat Feb 06, 2016 12:08 pm

The word 'Nimrod' was actually first used with the meaning "Mighty Hunter," after Noah's second son named Nimrod who was a very skilled and proficient hunter and supposedly responsible for the construction of the tower of Babel.


So next time your buddy texts you pics from a good shoot call him a Nimrod.

I am planning on naming my next dog Nimrod. It was actually the Buggs Bunny cartoon that called Elmer Fudd "Poor little Nimrod" while he was hunting Buggs, that was the downfall of the legendary name, Nimrod.

Where does "Gomer" fit into the Lame Things Lame People Call Other Lame People from the 1950 list?

The next list is Candy We Don't Have Anymore.

After that it's The Price of Things When I was 40 Years Younger

Gomer fits you, that where it fits. BTW, the Gomer Pyle show was on in the 60s, not the 50s. Non Gommers would know that!

Really? Seems like just the fact a Gomer would care about :P

On a serious fact note: there are things that kill people. Sometimes it's other people. Be careful out there people, you could end up killing some other people.
