Haha, I like Powder Poppin’ Pomegranate.

But yep, you’re right, it’s not the best way to be known.

I think Shaun White is well known enough and ubiquitous enough that he probably doesn’t mind the nickname at all

I think I’m a bit more confused about the Powder Poppin’ … Pomegranate?? Regardless, I supposed I’d rather be a pomegranate or a muppet than a tomato.

Hahaha, that is a better way to remember it, just harder to pronounce.

Can’t we just shorten it to “bistiaaweb, bijshtilniodsmwmllnmusnfsihnmawnm (whmftidwmmosjainaitmcwijniwablotiat…hihtmhant) gmg.” I think it’s much easier to remember this way.

You raise a valid point, media nicknaming everyone. I think they should call him “Better in something than I am and will ever be, because I’m just sitting here thinking up lame nicknames instead of doing something meaningful with my life like not making up stupid nicknames for someone I have never met and will never meet (who has more friends than I do which makes me only slightly jealous although I’d never admit it to my co-anchor whom I just noticed is wearing a better looking outfit than I am today… hmmm I’ll have to make her a nickname too) gold medalist guy”.

I don’t like the media.
