    I suspect 'Nicotine' Crockett will be shortened to 'Nico', not too outlandish, could even be Italian...

    What's wrong with "Nicotine" - clearly the character is a chain-smoker, and "Cancer Man" and "Cigarette Smoking Man" were taken over a decade ago, so I'm totally cool with that.

    Chuck - normal name.

    Tom Boy - there was a "Pretty Boy" in Land, obviously a nickname, not ludicrous either - plus, the actress is hot.

    Janet/Jane - again, normal name, sheesh ... also, she too is hot.

    Lem Muldoon - pretty normal name again there.

    It's not like GAR's naming his characters "Apple", and "Paris", and "Brooklyn" fer feck sake!

    Because ti is fun...

    I agree about the hot factor though, but since she IS so hot I do not see her as a Tom Boy. Unless it is one of those cases where you call a fat guy slim and a guy with red hair Blue.

    Again she is all woman from where I am standing.



    If she is a tom boy than Steele form Day is the 6th member of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

    Baited ****ing breath.

    Romero has more to live up to than anything.

    "Pretty boy"....stupid ****ing name for a character...and "nicotine crockett"...gimmie a break....almost as bad as Motown...("you can call me motown" worst line in land?)

    Silly silly silly. Do we need mad maxian nicknames?
    Innocent victims of merciless crimes, fall prey to some madman's impulsive designs.

    Step after step we try controlling our fate. When we finally start living, it's become too late.

    I always loved that, the URL is taken by the way. First thing I did was try to see if it was available so I could start a website.

    Well, if he didn't have a gun, I'd love to poke him with a long stick and run away.

    But on the other hand, it's food across an entire city, feeding a collection of people that's far fewer than the population of an average city, so technically there's plenty to go around.

    Also, look at rugby players - great big huge blokes over 20 stone each, and those guys move like sh*t off a shovel, people can be thin but out of shape big style, and likewise people can be great big buggers, but very much in shape.

    Don't be player hatin' books by their cover, yo.

    Remember Jurassic Park...nature will find a way? Well, some people will always just find a way to be fat.

    Dude, nothing about that guy is in shape!! Unless the shape you mean is round. I see your point aboutthe availability of food, but my point is that he would be looked upon with distrust and even hate, because he Obviously gets more than his fair share. Pilsbury could hardly deliver his lines without taking big fatboy breaths between each sentence.


    Fat useless F#ck!ng character!!!

    Now having said that, let me point out that I am on the tubby side myself. So I know what I am talking about. But I can garangoddamntee ya that if I had survived a zombie armaggedon for three years, I would have slimmed down to below a 40 waist.

    So are we saying that Pillsbury was the dude's nickname? I must be in denial cause I thought his name was just Pillsbury. I figure he survived because the zombies prefer leaner meat.

    I hate the Mad Maxian names as well. Hate them, hate them, hate them.

    Motown and Manolette and Pillsbury were not the worst for me. They were just throw-away characters anyhow. I hated Slack. The woman who aspired to be on the military but was forced to become a streetwalked identifies herself with a gangish nickname? Come on.

    At least he stayed normal with Riley & Charlie. We could've had, "Call me Meltdown. Just look at my face, you can see I should be called Meltdown."

    Forgot about him. Stupid ****ing bullfighter with his little cap!!!! I take back what I said earlier. Compared to Manolete, Pilsbury was genius!! I just have a very, very, . . . .very strong dislike for Pilsbury. But that Manolette motherf#cker!!! Him, I hate!!
