Ok, I have been absent for a bit. What is the "Big John" meme here?

I'm seeing it all over. Why are we big johnning all over the place? I like inside jokes. I used to be part of them. I'd like to be again one day.

I mean, if this is the thread to make fun of that horrible naming, Im all in. In people referencing that when in possession of a high pick, needing to draft premier talent ie: a stud; Stout, ever willing to show his age, used a 35 year old WWF reference of Big John Studd, and started calling them "big Johns" instead, and somehow did it enough that a handful of people have gotten on board. Its actually a little embarrassing.

Embarrassing comedy is my thing, baby. You can say I'm the Big John of dad jokes :D

You hadn't been gone that long. Big John: i.e. - "It's not about X's and O's it's about Jimmy and Joe's!"

Reminded me of a kid that played on my high school football team; his name was "Jimmy Joe Assalone! We called him "Lemy", as in Le' my Ass alone! True story, I sh*t you not!

Ok I have a “true story I swear,” name as well.

When I was in the Navy I served with a Seaman Guzzler. And it was a Woman. She didn’t really think it through when picking her branch when it came to rank and name combos. LOL

I’m sure she was very happy to make Petty Officer. I was only in A school with her.

My last name's Ketchum, so I wisely joined the Army :D

Like most things you can blame Mulli for Stout and his use of Big John

Thank you for correctly crediting me for this brilliant addition to the board *bows*
