Ken Climo

[HairyBellyButton]

I was out playing some rounds of disc with a guy I had met out there and I was telling him how i use the climo grip to throw my drives and he asked me if I knew that Climo had died now is that true or does he just not know what hes talking about?

 

[discpicable]

I think he's messing with you.

 

[HairyBellyButton]

Well I didnt believe him but I figured I would check around incase I missed something.

 

[RussMB]

Trust me, If he had... this thread would not be the first we had heard about it.

Yeah and it's pretty hard to win an A-Tier tourney if you're dead.

The real debate...

Is his name pronounced... KL EYE MOE or KL EEE MOE ???

 

[peabody]

GOD pronounced GAWD

 

[chain-addicted]

Yes... Cleemo is dead... the cause of death was old age. Let's have a moment of silence for Kenny.


Now I'm off to Squirrel Lake today for an early round cause that's what Kenny would want.

 

[agent_peebody]

it's Cleemo...i HATE when i hear Cl-eye-mo

 

[sirflicksalot]

its not your name why do u hate it

 

[agent_peebody]

just sounds wrong. Cleemo is easier

 

[racer93]

I saw him Friday and he didn't look dead. In fact, he won our tourney this weekend to prove he is alive...

The "correct" pronunciation (I was informed) is Climb-o. I agree it sounds wrong. This coming from people who know him well.

 

[Hurricane Hagner]

That doesn't sound wrong to me.

 

[scarpfish]

I say we start up "Ken Climo Facts". Like Chuck Norris facts except funnier.

 

[Dfwdscglfr]

I honestly don't have a clue to the pronunciation, so I will take your word from knowing those "people who know him well".

Thanks for the response... I sound foolish often enough... I don't need to prove it every time I speak.

Climo is so accurate because learned to drive over snake infested and alligator laden ponds......oh wait that's true

Back when I sold discs I was always entertained when somebody brought a friend who had never played in to buy discs because 90% of the time the "experienced" friend had no clue what they were talking about and gave crappy advice. "You need one of these here Vipers. Look at that bad-ass snake."

When the KC Pro discs first came out it was funny to listen to those guys recommend them. "You should get you one of these here Ken Klee-mo discs. He's an 7-time champion, you know? He's good." They would try to sound like they knew all about him while they mispronounced his name.
