Luc Richard Mbah a Moute. It's not just a name, it's an epic journey into the unknown. And Basketbawful reader flitzy bravely delved into that riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. Here's what he found...
I couldn't resist putting Luc Richard Mbah a Moute's name in an online anagram generator...and here are some of the better phrases I found. If he isnt a clear-cut drab or a labia mud charm toucher, I dont know who is.I think my favorite is "Touch! Bum diarrheal cam," but then scatalogical references always make me chuckle. Feel free to vote for your favorite. The winning phrase will become Mbah a Moute's official Basketbawful nickname.
1. Ouch! I'm a bald, true charm.
2. A chaotic, abler humdrum.
3. I am brutal or much ached.
4. Ho-hum! I am clear-cut drab.
5. Touch! Bum diarrheal cam.
6. I'm a dumb, urethral coach.
7. I'm a bad, cruel, macho hurt.
8. Labia mud charm toucher.
I heard that he was a prince and gave up his crown to study at UCLA. I'm not sure if the give up his crown is true, but he is a prince.
ReplyDeleteStraight from Wikipedia
"Mbah a Mouté is a prince in his native village of Bia Messe (near Yaounde)[1], as he is a son of the elected village chief, Camille Mouté à Bidias. His father is a high-ranking government official, managing the National Employment Fund of Cameroon, a training and job-placement national agency."
HA..I like "I am brutal or much ached."

Yea, and he is also in need of transferring a large amount of money into a US bank account for a long lost relative, and needs a small deposit from you to handle the transaction fees and paperwork, but you will be paid back ten-fold for your troubles.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post today. Best so far this season. A couple of ideas for the Prince's nickname:
ReplyDeleteM'n'M
Jean Luc Richard
I don't think a nickname greater than 'Labia mud charm toucher' exists.
ReplyDelete"A chaotic, abler humdrum" sounds like a typical post over at FreeDarko, probably about Ron Artest and his natural freneticism being shackled to a run-of-the-mill Rockets offensive and defensive schema, yet somehow becoming more effective in spite of it.
ReplyDeleteToo bad he's not sucking... we could just call him Mbawful a Mouté.
ReplyDeleteBut I also like M'n'M, or M-squared.
I'd pull for 'Labia mud charm toucher' as well. Can't go wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Mr Bawful, what can we do with Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo in terls of anagrams?
What about nicknaming the Prince as "The Air Up There" in reference to the Kevin Bacon movie of the same name.
ReplyDeleteThe guy in the movie was a prince too, right? Maybe Mbah a Mouté knows how to do the "Jimmy Dolan Shake-en-Bake"
-- Rich Muhlach
"Jean Luc Richard" +1
ReplyDeleteI think no.6 is definitely the best!!
ReplyDeleteWhat about "A Touchable Mum"?
ReplyDeleteNumber six is pure genius.
ReplyDeleteClearly "I'm a bad, cruel, macho hurt" is the best.
ReplyDeleteI watch college basketball and NBA basketball. I'm well-versed in UCLA from '02 to '09. I can tell you Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (who is, indeed, a Cameroonian prince along with former teammate Alfred Aboya) is a key contributor to any team. Only this, and nothing more.
ReplyDeleteMy blog. Take a look-see if you like.
Labia mud charm toucher brings out the 12 year old in me but it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue (snort). Also, the mud thing is a little unfortunate (see: mudflaps). "Labia charmer" definitely works though and invokes strange imagery.
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, Mootz is good.
You know, it's kind of fun looking back at guys who used to be good in college (especially big schools like Duke and Carolina) fail in the pros. I wonder if that will happen to Psycho T like it has oo McRoberts and one of the best COLLEGE three-point shooters in NCAA history, JJ Reddick.
ReplyDeleteMy Jazz just can't catch a break when it comes to injuries this season. I can tell you already, Basketbawful, that you'll have a new Jazz player to single out in tommorow's Worst of the Night: Mehmet Okur. Yes, the guy finally returned from dealing with his father's condition, and flew back to SLC on a 17 hour flight on Sunday. But no, flight fatigue is not why he's not playing against the Suns tonight. It's because apparently sitting in a chair for 17 hours aggravated a lower back injury, so he returns home on the injured list. Grand.
ReplyDelete"A touchable mom" is also a good one for luc...
ReplyDeletebtw, that kid is great. the bucks are going the right way - gotta love scott skiles. hopefully we can get rid of charlie V somehow...maybe get a veteran big man. as the year progresses, i think everyone will realise the bucks drafted well this year...joe alexander is developing quite nicely, you can't deny he'll eventually be a useful player.
uh can we just go with Luc Moute? Thats what I'm gonna call him
ReplyDeleteCount another vote for "brutal and much ached"... i like the way "Mbah a Mouté the Brute" sounds... the brutal one.
ReplyDeleteSorry, the Star Trek fan in me also lit up with happiness at Jean Luc Richard, because I thought of the same dorky joke.
ReplyDeleteTherefore: Jean Luc Richard +1
You know, the reason that he's was drafted is because of the nominal force in his name
ReplyDeleteis like Kosta Koufos, the nominal force is a brillant theory that a blogger here in Brazil developed and explain why NBA teams go to names like Nikoloz Tskitishvili before they draft Butler or Amare
the reason why in the late picks in the second round they choose the playerfs from west europe
and, of course, the reason why Darko was drafted before Carmelo, Wade, Bosh...
Put me down for #6 as well. It doesn't get any better than "I'm a dumb urethral coach." If you're gonna get someone to coach you on how to wield your urethra, you better make sure they're not dumb.
ReplyDeleteDumb, urethral coach = Isiah?
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Chile.
the "charm toucher" has a nice feel, and when people question its origins...
ReplyDeletebam! the full name in full magnificence!
Ho-hum! I am clear-cut drab is the funniest but doesn't work great as a name.
ReplyDeleteI'm split between Touch! Bum diarrheal cam and I'm a bad, cruel, macho hurt. Both of them can be shortened - Touch or Macho Hurt. I like Macho Hurt more.
+1 for Jean Luc Richard
ReplyDeleteHey 'Bawful, great blog.
ReplyDeleteOn the subject of nicknames, could we refer to Erick Dampier as Dampwhere, after playing NBA 2k9 and having Harmlem pronunce him as Damp-here. I find myself, for some reason, always asking in the back of my head, "Damp where?" I don't think I want to, though...
Ditto on Jean Luc Richard.
ReplyDeleteThough I also like Prince Abooboo. Yes, I have a little child at home and I saw Aladdin. Sue me.
Mbah a Mouté by itself is pretty good.
ReplyDeleteTouch! Bum diarrheal cam. Dirty as can be.
Matriarchal Bum Douche
ReplyDeletethats a pretty good one.
I know I'm late to the party so to speak(I am so sorry for using that horrific expression, but damnit I typed it, and I'm too lazy to untype it.) Something about "I'm a dumb, urethral coach" just makes me chuckle. Bum diarrheal cam elicits a chuckle too, but something about a urethral coach just, there's something about it
