There is one in every kindergarten class. That one kid who would rather eat paste than use it to glue the pieces of macaroni to the paper in the shape of a turkey so his parents could stick it on the fridge proudly for the whole family to admire for Thanksgiving. "Little Timmy is so talented the other kids call him Elmer", his parents joyously proclaim, not realizing the nickname was short for Elmer's Glue. I always wondered if that nickname stuck with him his whole life.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have their own glue guy, and his name is Roosevelt 'Rosie' Nix.
