Now Erie Cornell Signs?

[#freejame]

So I was gonna play the name game too, and comment something like "Montezuma Pittsford" or some other nonsense.  Then it crossed my mind that there's a lot of Native American town names in NY that might be funny sounding, like "Tonawanda Wawayanda," or whatever.

 

I then remembered that Clarence "Screaming Buffalo" Swamptown was the character from slapshot who was Native American looking.  The thing is, there is no "Swamptown" in NY.  But what I did learn from dicking around on wikipedia, is that the actor that played Clarence "Screaming Buffalo" Swamptown is Joe Nolan, former hockey player and uncle to Ted Nolan.  I didn't know this.  And they joke in Slapshot that he'd been suspended for life, but in real life he had been suspended for life.  He "eventually came back to the Eastern Hockey League as a linesman who was respected by players."

 

They got some weird stuff on that internet.

That took a turn I wasn't expecting, good stuff.
