Well, I know it wasn't the Washington Bullets!

I suppose we can expect to see the Green Bay Vegans and the Denver Latte Grande's any day now...

 

[ReadyontheRight]

Ding Ding Ding!

macavada and f4t9r got it!

The Colt 45s. Wow. I just read in today's paper.

What a different world. Democrats were conservative and public school students actually learned to count past 1 in the Bill of Rights.

You win the respect and adulation of your peers.

Arw you sure that they were not named after the Malt Liquor?

Probably just as good. Add in the "Lucky Strikes" and we'd have an ATF league.

Didn't the one actor, married to that Angelina Jolie chick, played in "Slingblade", Billy Bob something or other . . . can't remember his name, wear a Colt .45s hat a few years ago when all that retro sports wear was popular (people were even wearing old Negro leagues stuff).

 

[macavada]

Yeah. I remember Billy Bob Thornton wearing that hat. I used to see a few of them every now and again when I lived in Corpus Christi.

 

[MechAg94]

Didn't they have to drop the name due to copyright complaint from Colt?

 

[PCGS65]

I prefer Colt .45's .........Do they still make that beer?

 

[Ky Larry]

IIRC, Colt 45 was malt liquor.
