Jim "Plate Lunch" Miller

If anyone out there follows UFC, you may have seen Jim Miller. He looks like a lumberjack that can kick your ass. Well, my friends and I noticed that too.

For a while now, we've been referring to Mr. Miller as "Plate Lunch." Those of you who have eaten gas station or truck stop food will get the reference. We found Jim Miller looked like that kind of guy, the typical hunting/fishing/tobacco-chewing southerner. Never mind that he's from Jersey, we drunkenly latched onto this and ran with it.

So, a few days ago, I decide to twitter Jim Miller about this (@jimmiller_155 by the way...). He re-tweets it! What the hell? Awesome. Cue to a couple of days later, and for some reason, I decide to google "Jim Miller Plate Lunch." I was floored. Someone noticed! Soon enough, there was a six-page thread on Sherdog.com talking about it. Some liked it, others had no idea what a plate lunch was.

As expected, I made a Sherdog account solely to post about this and explain it. My favorite part, later in the thread, is a quote from "rjmbrd."

"A rare once in a while, the internet wins."


This is my favorite thing ever. If he comes out as Jim "Plate Lunch" Miller, and Joe Rogan has to explain that shit to the country, I'll laugh till I die.
