The Phoenix (thanks Bobke) will definitely be the right one if he can return to anything like his present form after the hip replacement surgery.

I've just been calling him Flandis. It's concise, catchy, and fun to say.

How did he get the nickname the barber, anyway?
Was it because of:
Or because it was a Nirvana song?
Floyd the Barber by Nirvana
I don't particulary like the barber or the phoenix. I am partial to Kid Floyd.

The Barber or the Phoenix? Nah, try again. Neither of those works for me.

I love how the mainstream media always refers to him as either Amish or Mennonite.

That side by side comparision is hillarious! But we call him "Furious Floyd" around here. Congrats to him on a great 06 TDF and 06 season.
