“Bob”isms

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

I’ve posted all the "Bob"isms that I can think of. I’m sure I’m missing some from over the years, so please send in your favorite "Bob"isms to webmaster@ironmen.ca. Let’s see how big this list can get. I keep wanting to merge this list with Chief Wiggum’s lines from the Simpsons for some reason.

  • "Nurse!"
  • "Medic!"
  • "Dammit to hell!"
  • "No doubt Killer was behind this" (from the late ’90s)
  • "Maggots!" (David Jesse, alumnus 19??)
  • "Yes, too bad you were born with those hands" (after a dropped ball) (Duane Farell 1990’s)
  • An alternate of the above… After dropping a pass made to him (Adam MacMillan) where he was inches from the goal line… teammate – "Unlucky Adam!" Bob – "Unlucky you were born with those hands." (Killer 1990s)
  • "Would the cowards in Black, please start tackling" (Dean Plant 1990s)
  • "I want that man maimed or killed immediately" (Dean Plant 1990s)
  • "Are you hurt? Are you sick?…. Well get up then you weasel" (Dean Plant 1990s)
  • "You ain’t a man if you ain’t immune to pain" spoken in a perfect southern drawl and heard only by Yuri Thomas and David Murchison (Murchy 1990s)
  • "what are you… sheep?" (Ian Johnstone 1990s)
  • "cripple them" (Ian Johnstone 1990s)
  • "don’t let them score" (Ian Johnstone 1990s)
  • To an apparently injured player… "Are you hurt or are you injured? Becauseif you’re only hurt, get the hell up." (Killer 1990s)
  • "He looks like another knuckle-dragger the team could use." (Killer 1990s)
  • "On our kick-off, obviously we want our speedy loose forwards sprinting up,challenging for the ball. The rest of you donkeys are expected to stay backand cover." (referring to our tight five) (Killer 1990s)
  • "Someone ask that man with the green teeth if he’s available for theweekend." (Re: Mr. Pettiwawa) (Killer 1990s)
  • After doing chin ups with relative ease bob’s response "Do that with a man on your back and it might impress me" (Jason Robertson 1990s)
  • "What the hell were you thinking?" (Jason Robertson 1990s)
  • This one really shocked me, being a diminutive flyhalf this was what Bob said to me before our first game in ‘99 "Mr. Robertson I know you like to think you’re 6′5" 250lbs but you are not, we need you on the field so please try to stay out of contact unless it’s absolutely necessary" (Jason Robertson 1990s)

Hello Everyone

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

Hey boys, Nick Taylor here, Ironmen 1996-2000. I’ve been given the task of taking over the site again and since I’m a little busy these days, I’ve decided to just set up alumni and current Ironmen with blogs. So in terms of anything Ironmen alumni related, this is the definitive place to get your information. Roy Hickey, current head coach of the Ironmen and other volunteers will be updating the blog as need be, especially for any info pertaining to the next reunion. I’ll spice up the look of the site when I get a chance, but for now, it’s a somewhat neutral look for the page. If anyone has great action shots from any season, please send them to webmaster@ironmen.ca . I’d like to use them to make the site a little more appealing. That’s all for now. Cheers, Nick
