[Smoot Point Really]

They both have 4 letters in their last name too! Zany!

[ncsuapex]

Art Zorn is our new HC!!!!

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

Monk's unretiring after his speech and coming back as the big possession receiver everyone wants!

[corrupt3d]

[Potato Sack]

I have to say, I noticed this right when Zorn was hired. I said to myself, "wow, James Arthur Zorn." And we just had James Arthur Monk inducted into the Hall of Fame as a Redskin. That's a cool connection.

Then I thought about posting it here on ExtremeSkins, but decided against it. I did a quick calculation in my head, and decided the best reaction I was going to get would be something like "Wow, that's neat" whereas on the other end of the spectrum, I was going to get "shut up n00b, what a waste of a thread, close this stupid thing NNT NNT NNT NNT!!! w00t pwned!!"

After carefully considering this, and remembering the "Not all thoughts should be threads" maxim, I didn't post. Then I used the search function and found out that you already had.

Conclusion:

1. Not all thoughts should be threads works sometimes, but then someone else goes and ruins my good intentions.

2. The search function does actually work occasionally.

3. I'm surprised you didn't get jumped on worse, maybe the offseason is softening everyone up. Or perhaps the fact that we have a head coach named has gotten folks to relax a little. Either way, this would probably have been better as part of a larger thread.

[stoney26]

How does the number 21 fit in there?? There has to be some sort of connection.

Nicely done. :)

You forgot the always popular "In before close"...noob :)

Zorn congradulated Cooley for being in the Pro-Bowl and he scored a TD making the score 21 while wearing the 21 jersey!

Edit: Better Yet - Coach James Arthur Zorn. = 21 characters - you have to include the period.

[Mad Mike]

Hah! I like my (almost) Art Monk connection better.

We both went to and wrestled for White Plains High School. :D

Unfortunately he graduated the year before I transfered there. :doh:

The good news is that since I was a pretty good wrestler and we would have been about the same weight class, I didn't have to make him my beotch. :laugh:

[Gart Monk]

Perhaps Zorn and Monk are actually the same person. Has anyone seen them both in the same room at the same time???

:applause: :applause:

He's looking out. As long as there is a connection to 21 we will be fine. :cool:

[Audible_Red40]

Ok, where's the bunny and the pancake?

[Forehead]

I can't do the bunny and pancake, but how about a cat with a Kraft single on it's head, with some FAIL added in for good measure?

Glad you asked. Check it out...

If you use numbers for letters where A=1, B=2 ... Z=26

Then you get...

Monk = 13, 15, 14, 11
Zorn = 26, 15, 18, 14

If you add those numbers you get Monk = 53 and Zorn = 73. Add that and you get 126.

Then if you add their ages together (Monk is 51 and Zorn is 54) that's 105.

Now, stay with me, if you subtract 105 from 126 you get, you guessed it 21.

Coincidence?? :whoknows:

I think not! :point2sky

I knew there had to be a connection

[Joe Sick]

Jim Zorn was known for throwing those 8 yard hook patterns that move the chains...

[pvkeeper19]

and in both the 2nd letter is an "O"


and both have a "N"



freaky

OMG, they are both men also! And both played in the NFL!

The similarity is uncanny.

don't hate the playa, hate the game

[DGreenistheBest]

Capitalize their last names, MONK and ZORN.

Now, take the R in ZORN and erase the connection between the long part of the letter and the top right of the bubble of R. You get K.

Now, turn the Z on it's side and twist the right half of the letter 180 degrees. You get M.

MOKN. It's an anagram for MONK. They are, in fact, the same person.

[DjTj]

:laugh: This thread is awesome.

I also just realized that Art Monk is a second cousin of Thelonious Monk, the renowned jazz pianist who recorded several critically-acclaimed albums for Blue Note Records in the late 40's and early 50's. Not long after that, a pianist named Sonny Clark also recorded at Blue Note, where he released hit songs like "Voodoo," "Nicely," and "Something Special." Clark died young, but he remained an important figure in jazz and bebop history.

Thirty years later, the Sonny Clark Memorial Quartet produced an album honoring the late Clark with new interpretations of his classic songs. The Quartet was led by an avante-garde saxophonist by the name of John Zorn.

As far as I know, John Zorn is not related to Jim Zorn. :yikes:

[Badgerrocks]

I like that our coaches initials are JAZ, which almost ties in with the John Zorn thingy above. Do you suppose he has Jaz hands?

[Rooner]

OMG, MY middle names are JAMES and ARTHUR, SUPER BOWL BABY!!!

[Joe Sick]

:laugh: This thread is awesome.

The Quartet was led by an avante-garde saxophonist by the name of John Zorn.

I kept seeing this name pop up under searches for "Zorn" but never clicked. Karma!

All a part of Lord Xenu's plan. :::tenting fingers:::

Not really. He was known for making something happen while running for his life.

Thank you....Thank you......Thank you for this thread!
I finally had proof for my 18 year old that I was not the biggest geek in the world.
Of course she promptly pointed out that I was reading this, so ..........
