Too obscure?
Help me out here.
I'm the head referee for a small league, and we want to do a fund raiser in the new year to cover our insurance.
My idea? Krispy Kreme has a promotion that allows groups to sell donuts to raise money.
I wanted to call it "The Koharsky Fund Raiser".
I thought it was funny. Anyone else? So far, all I'm getting is blank stares.

I get it...
The average person who you're going to be selling these donuts to wont though. Yes it is too obscure.

Took a while, but I got it eventually. I'm a guy on a hockey message board though -- Joe Blow and Sally Suck aren't going to have a clue.

Call it the Homer Simpson fund raiser and you stand a better chance.
I got the connection, but I also knew what you were selling before too.
Another suggestion, call it the "2008 (Sports Team Name) Dough Raising."

Isn't it spelled Koharski? Maybe that's what's throwing people off.
Call it the Koharski-Rutherford Fund Raiser. Everyone will get it then.

I get it but but I think the reference is actually just a bit old. That was 19 years ago (wow).

In any case, I do think the Koharski reference is too old. Besides, he's not as fat as he used to be.

I think it is brilliant, and anyone into hockey will get it (so long as they are over 25 or so). Plus, if they don't get it, you can tell them the story.
And it's a great story!

I didn't get it until I saw the video again...and i've probably seen that video numerous times. So yeah, I'd say it's too obscure. 99% of the general public wouldn't get it.

Damn. I get the same reaction talking Canadian history (apparently, no one remembers studying the "King-Byng Wing-Ding"...)
Was it seriously 19 years ago?! Now I'm feeling old!

Tell people you want "this many" and hold up 9 fingers.
(now who here remembers me telling that story?)

I just watched that Youtube clip, thats the first I've ever heard of it. I'm 26 and have followed the NHL religiously as long as I can remember, and that went way over my head. So I guess it depends a) how old the crowd is, and b) how much they follow hockey. Because its definitely not something the average person would know, its too old and obscure for that.
