Go NAD!! Turn head and cough....

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

If there was ever a football team whose school has an initial N.A.D. they'd be one sorry group when it comes to cheerleading time at their football games. Can you imagine people screaming in the stands, "Go NAD! Go NAD! Go NAD! Goooooooo NAD!" And it'd be even worse with cheerleaders with each of them waving two large pom-poms with round fluffy like balls.  If at this point you are puzzled by the cheers of "Go NAD" then I ain't helping ya! Blame this on Karen Mayes who wrote an earlier tribute to Paotie a few days ago on the whole "Go NAD!" thing.

Now, this brings me back. I think I inspired Paotia with the whole Go NAD thing in 2008 somewhere. I'm pretty danged sure I mentioned "Go NAD!' as a source of his inspiration. Oh, now I remember, it was "Go NADS!!" Started in 2006. Pretty balsy stuff when I tried to start the North America Deaf Strongman Games or "NADS" Games for short, and I had a pretty good line to go with that, too. Just scroll down until you find it.

Go NADS Games! Only those with enough balls can compete!

Indeed. And I think these are the really heavy ones you can't even lift. Might be better to shout, "OMG! My hernia!" Still, balsy stuff at this game had it gone through. Maybe it'd have been better to call it the "Fighting NADS games?" I'm sure I would've sold tickets by the buckets.

But sometimes people have actually said "Go NAD" in support of National Association of the Deaf's letter about the Pepsi commercial brohahahaha involving AGBell. Hey, remember my comedy video about that Pepsi commercial? Though I think it's easier and more fun to say, "Go NAD!" instead of one long boring line "Go National Association of the Deaf!" Ok. Who actually said "Go NAD!"? A few actually.

Here's one.  And another one, a shocking one, too. Another one from the same website rooting "Go, NAD!" Another here, same site. And here, too. Another here in the same site with two simple words (is it supposed to be one word?). Yup, here again. Same site here where even Paotie got into the spirit, too. Bravo! Another one here, same site. And in the same site this one here comes with 8 exclamation points, too. And the last shout out at this site except this one is just way too funny by "M. Creamer" who shouts "Go NAD!"  Lots of spirits, there. Wow. Never saw so many "Go NADs" under one website. Just a bunch of high spirited people shouting out a bunch of "Go NADs" on NAD's own NAD President Blog website which probably makes this a really, really funny thing. Balls of fun, Right?

Not everyone agrees. Some even complained about "Go NAD!" Yet we had many people screaming "Go NAD!" on NAD's own NAD President Blog website. But this one here got right down medically offensive describing in lurid details of the meaning behind "Go NAD!". Ok. Maybe not so lurid then. And yet somebody actually believed that shouting "Go NAD!" damages the Deaf community. Maybe it would've been better to shout out "Go NADS games!" instead?

Anyway, go NAD!

I remembered that very well. I had to dig Paotie's blog to refresh my memory. I found and it's "Let's Protest! Let's Boycott! Go NAD! Go NAD!" Oh geez! It was hilarious! Mr. Oz (If Paotie permits to let me calling him a new nickname, ;-)) The Pink Ladies really had some good laughs...and you,too, Mike.

That was fun!

Lol, them balls can bust a hernia or two.

But it takes balls to lift balls.

Especially atlas balls.

Go NAD!

Ha, Ha!

Yeah, it was tough. Lifting an Atlas stone requires a totally different technique. You should've seen the bruises I got on the underside of my arm and chest area. Fun day! Seriously. I had a lot of fun that day.

And, oh, I placed 3rd in my first ever strongman games. Not bad on a first try.

Atlas stone as those I've seen on that "strong man" competition shows?

-wince and grabbing his crotch-

God, I can really feel the pain, man.

PS weird, I had a verification of ballysti and i got me thinking of Go NAD, literally. Gah.

It does takes ballS to participate in strongman games. You gonna try again?
