Fukudome: Not an Unknown Commodity
The Chicago Cubs most recent signing is making some waves.  While Kosuke Fukudome
is somewhat of an unknown quantity here in America, his last name is very familiar to
many.  In fact, people have been using his name for years.  Here are a few examples of
when “Fukudome” has been uttered:


  • By Hurricane Katrina victims while leaving their temporary shelter in the New Orleans Saints
    home stadium.  (Clark Sheffield)

  • By Barry Bonds when he looked in the mirror and saw that his head had grown three sizes.
    (CS)

  • By Tom Brady and Bill Belichick when they learned that the Patriots would have to travel to
    Indy for the 2006 AFC title game.  (CS)

  • By fans of NHL teams who faced the Toronto Maple Leafs and their goon named Tie. (CS)

  • If it had taken place in Jersey, the post-apocalyptic action movie starring Mel Gibson and Tina
    Turner would have been titled: "Mad Max: Beyond Fukudome." (CS)

  • Fuk-U-Do-Me (Alan Luna) Since there was no explanation behind Mr. Luna's submission, we'll
    assume this is something said by innumerable men to their wives or to belligerent hookers.   

  • By the guys who are paid by Notre Dame to plate the dome atop the campus's Main Building with real gold.
