All Things Jumbo

[Cameron]

As many fellow DBR members know, I have lost a bet to our resident blowhard, Jumbo;) The bet was that Taylor King would average 10 PPG this season (a bet that I was winning through about 10 games, but one that, because of outside circumstances, I decided would best be left unwon). Once I came to the conclusion that my 18-point nights against the Michigans, my 15-point and five triple time desolations of the Wisconsins, and my 27 point games that were breaking illustrious Duke scoring records were making the rest of my teammates unhappy because of lost spotlight time, I decided to take a domination breather and share the wealth. Don't worry, though, I will be back to dominating fall 2008:)

Anyway, as you all can now see, Mr. Imus has left the forums. He's had his day in the sun and will, unfortunately, no longer be apart of the DBR. Enter all things Jumbo. But, to Sir Jumbo, the changed avatar is not enough. No, he needs a Jumbo signature as well. Jumbo, Jumbo, Jumbo. I am literally sick of the word now;) (If you say it over and over, it is very hard not to chuckle. Jumbo.) So, I need your help. I need to read some ideas on a Jumbo signature, one that would, preferably to Jumbo, consist of Jumbo's greatness compared to the beauty of summertime (Don't ask me, it's what he wants!). So think of tulip poplars, junebugs, warm skies, etc. He would also like it to be in the form of a poem. So have at it, lol.

It would be much appreciated!

Note: It can really be about anything, not just limited to summertime! Anything Jumbo:D

Hey! That's "kindler, gentler blowhard" to you, bub! ;-)

[Cameron]

Haha, my mistake. I did refer to him as Sir Jumbo, which should make up for it, though:D

[EarlJam]

A new Avatar?.........

Note to Jumbo: You know I'm just kidding!!!!

[Jumbo]

The avatar is all set. We need a Sig. Something that truly extolls my superiority over Cameron on this bet. It could be a poem. It could be something else. I leave it to you, fellow posters, to offer suggestions.

[JBDuke]

Here's another suggestion -

and for the sig, continuing my fondness for movie quotes:

Dr. Egon Spengler: Well, let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. Based on this morning's reading, it would be a Twinkie thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds.
Winston Zeddemore: That's a big Twinkie.

Jumbo-wambo ? Tubthumping: "I get knocked down, but I get up again ..."

[EarlJam]

A few suggestions:

"Fear the Blowhard! Jumbo!"

"Jumbo Bells, Jumbo Bells, Jumbo All the Wayyyyyyy!"

"We the posters, of the Duke Basketball Report, in order to form a more perfect Jumbo, pffffffffffffft, as if THAT were possible."

"You've got a friend in Jumbo."

"Jumbo - All Up In It."

"I Grock Jumbo."

Just modify this quote:

Heed the JUMBO voice that so seldom leads us wrong, and never into folly.

Peace on DBR will come to stay, When we listen to JUMBO every day.

Need any "Jumbo is as cute as a monkey" lines?

teasing, teasing........

[gadzooks]

Jumbo is patient, Jumbo is kind.
He does not envy, he does not boast,
he is not proud.
He is not rude, he is not self-seeking.
he is not easily angered,
he keeps no record of wrongs.
Jumbo does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth.
He always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Jumbo never fails.

[Jumbo]

You guys are killing me. It feels good to laugh after all the rancor around here. Thanks! Keep it rolling!

[EarlJam]

Sir Earl O' Lot....

I like Jum BO and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a poster walks in with an itty bitty thought
And posts it in his face
You get sprung, wanna pull out your tough
'Cause you notice Jum BO was stuffed
Deep in the jeans He's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh Jumbo, I wanna get with you
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But Jum BO you got makes me so (edit)
Ooh, Rump-o'-smooth-skin
Jumbo say you wanna get in my Benz?
Well, use me, use me
'Cause Jumbo ain't that average groupie
I've seen him dancin'
To hell with romancin'
He's sweat, wet,
Got it goin' like a turbo 'Vette
I'm tired of magazines
Sayin' Cameron's the thing
Take the average poster and ask him that
Jumbo pack much back
So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
Has your post been banned by Jumbo? (Hell yeah!)
Tell him to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that healthy 'tude!
Jumbo got back!

I'm sorry.

La la la la la la la... do do do do do

I feel like I posted part of that song once, but I can't remember when/where/why. Was it in chat?

[micah75]

It was here, but I think on the old boards, maybe 2 or 3 years back. It was after a debate with someone, I forget who for sure, but it was pretty funny at the time.

[Cameron]

Yes, I must say I have been laughing pretty hard at some of these. Then there are some that I do not want anywhere near my handle, Sir Mix Alot;)

Jumbo said it right. Dear God! Lol.

[dukepsy1963]

Jumbo is busting out all over.........tune of Spring is busting out all over....etc.

Or,

Here comes Jumbo,
Here comes Jumbo,
Right down DBR lane....

Or,

I've got a right to sing the blues..........

Or,

If you see me comin' your way
Better give me plenty space
If I tell you that I'm hungry
Then won't you feed my face (Weird Al Yankovic)

[Cameron]

Here comes Jumbo,
Here comes Jumbo,
Right down DBR lane....

Lol, NO! I would not survive looking at a sappy Jumbo winter wonderland song everyday! ;) :D

You cannot use this ... reminds us all too much of the Caro-whine-a poster from this year (the one that featured spears, deflated balls, and various shields).;)

FWIW, the first three Google image topics on Jumbo include an elephant, a petroleum reactor being loaded onto a "Jumboship," and a woman modeling boots. My favorite image from the first page, however, is the disco record by Jumbo, "Turn On To Love.":eek:

Go with the disco record!:D

Cheers,

[whereinthehellami]

A like to eat gumbo,
and I love to bet,
lost one to Jumbo,
and now my new profile's all set.

[Exiled_Devil]

Lovin' you is easy 'cause your Jumbo, do-doot do do doo, waaaaah

Sing it!

Apparently Earl Jam still have some free time at his new job, as that homage to Baby Got Back was hilarious.

[Troublemaker]

Agreed. I really like EarlJam's Baby Got Back and I think it (or some verse in it) should be the sig.

[EarlJam]

Apparently Earl Jam still have some free time at his new job, as that homage to Baby Got Back was hilarious.

Well, unlike THIS post, the Earl Mix A Lot post manifested itself as I sat in my cave after work last night, in the dark, amidst scary things.

I, Cameron, am a big dumbo, Jumbo.
Taylor's average took a big tumble, Jumbo.
Why did I believe my own mumbo-jumbo?
Why did I take your bet? I bumbled, Jumbo!
My avatar, my sig -- both crumbled, Jumbo!
Both serve you. I am now humbled, Jumbo.

we've got a winner. :D

But it is still going through your head, isn't it?

That song has been going through my head since '97. Lol.

You only helped turn up the volume. Thanks a lot;)

I think that earns my vote...

[Troublemaker]

Well, I think I improved the last two lines below, but not sure if Cameron even likes it. Funniest is still Baby Got Back. Elliot Williams is thin but lengthy.

To you my avatar and sig, I fumbled, Jumbo.
I hate you, I hate you, {mumble}, Jumbo.

[Cameron]

Troublemaker:

No, it's quite creative. I'd rather go with something not referring to me as a dumbo (;) Taylor needed the board support!) but it's quite creative. I applaud your inner creativity. It's funny, too, especially the mumbo-jumbo part.

I'm a man and can live up to the situation, however:) If Jumbo wants the first version, Jumbo shall receive. It's up to the player (Taylor) hater:D (just kidding, I know he loves our three-point monster).

[Cameron]

It's finished. Hope you like it, Jumbo!

[BlueintheFace]

Cameron, how long will you be displaying these beautiful new avatars and signatures?

[Cameron]

Blue:

No idea. I would guess until our season opener this fall. Or until Sir Jumbo's self-fulfillment parade is over:D

When will that be, Jumbo? ;)

A good question. Maybe I'll leave it up to you...

[Cameron]

A good question. Maybe I'll leave it up to you...

How about until Taylor records his first ten point game next season? That's only fair.

There's got to be a law against being owned on a Message Board!!

[Cameron]

In that case, perhaps until King Taylor hits his first three in summer pickup? :D
