Good point. The other nick-names we know are probably accidental. Shovelhead doesn't seem too bad to me, but Blockhead just crosses a line to being slightly unpleasant. Evo has no such associations and seems to have been adopted out of affection. That's the way it should be!

Blockhead is alive and well living in Crawford Texas. I never liked that name.

Actually I'm in SE Michigan.
Weren't the twinkies called "Fat Heads" for awhile? Wethead would be good for the V-Rod.

They were. I like an earlier suggestion of
Showerhead for the V-Rod.
I'm still waiting for
Bedhead ... maybe that will be the long-anticipated water-cooled twinkie!

How about "Soggy Twinkie"?? Doesn't roll off the tongue...pardon the pun.

I kinda like it! Seems eerily prescient...
For even MORE Twinkie fun, check out
The T.W.I.N.K.I.E.S. Project . I wouldn't be surprised if the MoCo funds them...
