Freddogg Off The Chain

A flyweight Olympic fighter from Ghana lost a bout to a Cuban fighter yesterday. His name is Prince Octopus but close friends just call him Prince Octopus.
In Philadelphia there is no such marine animal called an Octopus because the spoken tongue is genetically and environmentally engineered to slur words. I believe the correct pronunciation of this athlete’s name would be Prince Occupus.
You know inside the phone book of the world a Sammy Squid is just waiting for your call. But even that has a certain lilting rhythm to it. Prince Octopus –royalty followed by sea creature moniker-just has no precedent and speaking of Presidents perhaps George Bush could be President Marmoset “but you can call me Snow Monkey.”
