RIP Chy Chy Rodrigweez

[Kanye Wyoming]

Despite knowing what the correct pronunciation was from TV as a kid, for as long as I can remember whenever I thought of or referred to him, it was as Chy Chy Rodrigweez. Until this morning when this started going around after his death, I had long forgotten why.

A good guy, and what a great golf showman. RIP Chi Chi.

That scene is the first thing I think of when I hear his name

[DMF13]

"The boy who would be known as Chi Chi also began caddying at a course that drew affluent tourists. He taught himself to play using limbs from guava trees to propel crushed tin cans into holes that he had dug on baseball fields, and when he was 12 he shot a 67 in a real game of golf."

I loved that show as a kid. :D. To this day my Dad, sister and I will make WKRP references that no one else around will get.

I suffer from the same affliction, including here on P-F:

The first time my spouse heard me pronounce Chihuahua like Lee Nesman, she thought I was the biggest idiot on the planet, as she never watched that show as a kid.
