what do the knights who say ni change their names to
Knights Who Say Ni The head knight acknowledges that "it is a good shrubbery", but asserts that the knights cannot allow Arthur and his followers to pass through the wood because they are no longer the Knights who say "Ni!" They are now the Knights who say "Ekke Ekke Ekke Ekke Ptang Zoo Boing!"[i] and must therefore give Arthur a test. Unable to pronounce the new name, Arthur addresses them as "Knights who until recently said 'Ni!'," inquiring as to the nature of the test. The head knight demands another shrubbery, to be placed next to but slightly higher than the first; and then Arthur "must cut down the mightiest tree in the forestâ€”with a herring!" The knight presents a herring to be used. Arthur objects, asserting that "it can't be done!" upon which the knights recoil as though in fear and pain. It soon emerges that the knights are unable to withstand the word "it", which Arthur's party is unable to avoid saying. The knights are soon incapacitated by the word, which even the head knight cannot stop repeating, allowing Arthur and his followers to make their escape.[1]
Talk:Boston Celtics The name came from a discussion between owner Walter Brown and Howie McHugh, the Bruins/Boston Garden publicist and the man in charge of the upstart new NBA team. McHugh of Irish descent, had just returned from a trip to Ireland and, well aware of the strong and passionate Irish heritage in the Boston area, suggested the name Celtics, which apparently had roots in an original Celtics team in New York in the 1920's. Brown immediately latched onto the name and the Celtics were born. Interestingly, over time some of the scribes of history have been transferring credit of Celtic name to Walter Brown likely due to his status as the owner of the team. The name is pronounced with a soft C, the same as the Scottish football club.
