The limit on diaries for admins is absurd! Is it a work limit now or just a character limit? On the old site you could just press the space bar a bunch of times and it would register as a character.

I think the nickname is too long to work, but that is a great movie!

Word limit, sadly.

The word limit has been tightened

Because SBN wants FanPosts to be of a substantive nature (R.J.). The FanShots have been created for those two sentence diaries that you want to post. They contain no character limits and allow for easy linking/image posting. They are for shorter pieces. Maybe I should do a FanPost on the disparity and explain it, because lots of people didn't seem to get the new format.

But they were "The Knights Who Say Nicht"

German meaning "nothing".

As in "Swing at my fastball, you will hit 'nicht' ". Which said sternly all in German could be quite imposing. Doesn't using German suit a guy named Niemann?

("nicht, nicht, nicht, nicht..." randomly from many on the bench should follow).

Would be way cooler than saying "hey batta, batta, batta, sssswing batta".

Or the fans could just do this on their own - very cool! And bring nice shrubberies.

Other suggested nicknames

The Big Dipper
Sasquatch (too bad he cut the hair and beard)
Long Grain Rice

Vogt early, Vogt often.

Niemann Nickname

I suggest "Big Bird." Maybe I'm the only one who thinks it, but the man looks very birdlike with that pointy nose.
