'KNVB'

The rains have started, and so has college...a more perfect time for football has yet to be envisioned.

This is largely due to the fact that days on which I go to college are comparitively less hectic than my days off, owing to the fact that my classes tend to ease up on the homework.

The title of this post is the name of a football team that my college mates have knocked together, on a whim, quite spontaneously, on a spur-of-the moment decision about how to spend our free lectures more constructively. This sudden flight of fancy has ended up being taken quite seriously, and I've found myself ending up as part of it, and enjoying it too, even though I don't play that much, or that well, for that matter...

Those of you that follow footy might recognize KNVB as some mildly famous club from the Netherlands. The reason for adopting this name is partly due to the fact that we aim to piggy-back off the real teams success, and also partly because the jerseys came at a bargain price, and we don't have the cash, or the inclination, to print out personalized ones...

So all we needed, was a creative spin on the Acronym, to provide a snappy answer to all those people who asked us what it stands for...

And so the team was gloriously christened- 'The Knight Naughty Virgin Bastards'

A little on the profane side, maybe, and grammatically incorrect, to boot, but with an alternative spelling of Knights & Naughty Virgin Bastards, it might just pass muster. Grammatical accuracy never figures in the grand scheme of things anyway, and you must admit, it sounds less corny (not to mention, less Gay) when compared to 'Kingly Nasty Victory Boys', which was the first suggested idea, which was quickly shot down.

EDIT: Oh wait, it's actually called (much to my annoyance) The KNine VagaBonds, which kinda sounds to me like a stray dogs association...oh well, what the hell...I'm still calling it the 'Virgin Bastards'...
