Nickname

For those who have played ball with me know that I am obsessed with nicknames. I love nicknames. I think everyone on a team should have a nickname. It just seems like they are more part of something that is only shared amongst the team. On my team, I sounds weird when I have to call them by their real name. Many times I have to think about what their real name is. That's how you know you've done a good job with the nickname. It's my thing...I actually have a lot of odd things that I do when it comes to ball but we won't go there...

I need help on one of my teammates. She's a pitcher and takes what feels like an hour between every pitch. It'll be in the set position, no joke, for a good 5 seconds before throwing a pitch. If I was batting against her, I would call time every other pitch just to piss her off. She's great though. I wish she was pitching more...

So people, please help and think of an animal or object or thing that is slow to initiate. Please remember that this is for a nickname so it has to be catchy, preferrably one or two syllables. Come on you teachers (ie. Jaws and DC), give me something...We have a few options but not something that stands out. Usually I can feel it when it's the right one. Lea, if we can't think of something else I think we'll go with your option. Apparently mine is too mean but it's so damn funny...I'll let people know what it is once we get a nickname for her...

Think people think....something that is slow to initiate...And for all you physios out there, I know you're thinking of a Parkinson's patient right now...I can't all her akinesia (it's a health professional terminology for someone who freezes, who are slow to initiate movements). Haha, pretty funny but can't use it as a nickname...too bad....
