Ol' Buck

Facebook posting from June 28, 2012:

While watching the credits at the end of a Magnum PI show on Netflicks, I saw one of the credits for a person named Buck.

I think Buck would be a great name! Just think of all of the variations, nicknames and terms of endearment to go along with being called "Buck!" There's Bucky, Buckster, my Buckeroo, Buckin' Bronc, Bucky Boy, etc....

But when I pointed it out to my wife, all she could do was laugh, and asked how many times my parents had dropped me on my head .... Now that I think about it, don't you think it's strange that there were never any soap opera character (at least, that I knew of) called Buck, or Ol' Buck ....

Jennifer Green: i can think of a few tha t aren't so nice.

Gayle Clucas Nelson: John Candy played Uncle Buck. See what happened to him.

Kim Wardwell: About due for a re-make then! I could play the part!!!

Gayle Clucas Nelson: Yep, head trauma.

Kathy Tieszen Neufeld: I taught with a Bucky in Battle Mountain, Nevada. You know, I never thought there was anything unusual about his name.

Suzi Obendorf Pipkin: poor Annie. So do you watch BLue Bloods? My fav.! No Bucks in there however.

Kim Wardwell: So you say the Buck stops here? Or was that Truman?

Suzi Obendorf Pipkin Truman, Suzi, ...we think along the same lines.:)

Linne Clarke Haywood: Otis Leroy Jr "Bucky " Wardwell. Drat. The last name makes it all Yankee like. Watch Lizard Lick Towing for insight into the redneck mind.

Gayle Clucas Nelson Wardwell: does add a air of so-fis-ti-cation to a name.

Gayle Clucas Nelson: ‎... or is it err....

Kim Wardwell: Well, since it usually comes out war dell, or weird as hell, I'm not sure there's too much sophistication left ....
