Timmy Two-Times: New Nickname for Lincecum?

PrintI thought we could all use a little break from all the rosterbations and other stress that come along with the offseason, so this is just meant to be a fun fanpost.
I'm sure we can all agree that there are not that many great nicknames in sports anymore. There used to be great names like "the say hey kid", "sweetness", "the great one", and "he hate me" (only joking about the last one.) Nowadays, most nicknames are just abbreviations (A-Rod, B-Weezy) or the players actual name with Y or IE at then end of it (Freddy, Richie, etc. Bochy has become a master of this method.)
Thankfully Lincecum currently has a couple solid nicknames, The Franchise and The Freak. Both fit him well, but I thought of a new one that I like even more: Timmy Two-Times. The name pays tribute to his two Cy Youngs, and plays off the name of Jimmy Two-Times, a character in Goodfellas (go to about 33 seconds in to this clip to see his introduction http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD3y43cyddI )
I gotta be honest, I only thought of this after learning that phoenix suns fans call Steve Nash "Two-Time" because of his two MVPs. So this nickname kinda bites off that, which is probably one negative about this nickname.
Oh yeah, there's one major flaw about this nickname: It's probably not going to work after next season because Timmy is pretty much a lock to win his third Cy Young (unless of course Cain wins it), making the "Two-Times" moniker dated. But I guess that means we will just have to use it as much as possible next year.
Anyways, all feedback, criticism, or alternative nicknames are appreciated.

Matt Cain: throwing complete game shutouts since 06'. No big deal.

Yeah, give him a Mafia nickname. Then he can pose for a picture with Angel Villalona’s gun.

Traditionally
Christmas Eve dinner (noche buena) in the Philippines involves such delicacies as lechon (crispy glazed roast suckling pig), pancit (Chinese noodles) of various kinds, and the festive rarities that Filipino Americans apparently like to eat every damn day out of a all-you-can-eat buffet.
My family used to do Italian-American with a heavy rich lasagna and salad and bread.
I’m curious of doing the Sicilian seven-fishes feast, where you cook and eat seven different kinds of fish in various preparations, usually one being dried cod. I see the dried cod showing up now at the local Safeway so I know the old Eye-talians here in Castro Valley are preparing.
I usually spend Christmas Eve alone, so I have a meal of cold pork and beans out of a can and a frozen Hershey bar, washed down with whiskey. It’s a Band of Brothers thing.
This Christmas Day I am thinking of making a sort of medieval-inspired pork shoulder with clove and brandy and apples. Side of chestnut salad, with spiced wine, grog and mead.
I dunno what the hell passes for a traditional American Christmas dinner. I think turkey’s involved again, or ham. mmm ham.

and somebody usually brings lumpia. Though we don’t really have dinner as much as we all just stand near the kitchen and graze on whatever’s there. There are way too many people to be able to sit all at once.

SPEAKING OF...
Since Vic Jr. thrust himself into the frontrunner for Fireman Of The Year by acing his semester exams (and thereby pulling a D and an F into C territory) I treated him to Avatar which in my cheap-assed opinion may be the best $19.00 I’ve spent in months.
Maybe it was because I average less than one movie outing a year.Maybe it’s because I’m easily entertained.Maybe because I was just buoyed by my son’s success and just wanted to have a good time. Maybe I love seeing Sigourney chomp a cig and maybe I dig exoskeletons and dragons. Maybe because it was a fucking epic CGI spectacular, I don’t really care. It was fun.
OK. rip it…

That’s a family tradition, my father would take us to the movies after the craziness of the morning activities. He was career military and went to the movies at Christmas during his tours of duty. So when he was home at Christmas off to the movies we went.

Before Christmas is the traditional family dinner with about 65 relatives, which was supposed to be on December 19th but an uncle on the other side of the family passed away so I will be at a funeral.
On Christmas, it’s dinner at my mother’s house with ham, yams and my brother makes Chinese Sweet Rice.
"meh"
chinese sweet rice
My mother made it with dried shrimp, Chinese sausage, and some type of Chinese mushroom I can’t remember the name of. In our household it served a similar function to stuffing. Yum.

From the Wiki:
Mystery Science Theater 3000, often abbreviated MST3K, is an American cult television comedy series…
The series features a man and his robot sidekicks who are trapped on a space station by an evil scientist and forced to watch a selection of bad movies, initially (but not especially limited to) science fiction B-movies. To keep sane, the man and his robots provide a running commentary on each film, making fun of its flaws and wisecracking (or “riffing”) their way through each reel in the style of a movie-theater peanut gallery.
My sister was a big fan of the show.
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is a holiday classic in our family.
For newer movies
