[Dtwizzy2k5]

I hate it when people call him Paul Harris on these forums, it's just annoying IMHO.

Some find it hilarious that Palhares is pronounced "Paul Harris" by some people, among others Goldie

Is the funny thing the fact that 'Paul Harris' is under 'other names' ?

If so... huh? :S Its been there for ages as far as I remember? Am I missing something? And it's not only this forum that call him Paul Harris.

YES! I'm glad it gets under someone elses skin cos it drives me crazy when people reffer to him as 'Paul Harris'

 

[Inkdot]

Not sure where it started but he's called Paul Harris on all the forums now.

I remember a while back I was reading about this Paul Harris chap and was like WhoTF is that? After putting two and two together I got a hearty laugh and still smile to this day when I hear it, dunno why.

Personally if I were him I would feel honored, because he has risen above mediocrity to have a nick name that when uttered sends chills to the very bones...leg bones that is. Plus it's pretty funny IMO.

Quite a while back, when I was pretty new into MMA and just a lurker around here, I actually typed "Paul Harris" in google, to find out who the hell is that guy. :thumb02:

 

[Soojooko]

Far as I'm concerned, I get closer to his actual name saying Paul Harris, then I do when trying to pronounce Palhares. Before this nickname, nobody really knew how to say it.

Apart from being a very sensible and functional nickname... Its also fecking hilarious.
