Gaylord

A 25-year-old graduate student from Stanford University named Denis Hayes and a U.S. Democratic senator from Wisconsin, Gaylord Nelson, coordinated what became Earth Day — April 22, 1970.

Why should we Gaylords be above all the others, and why should I throw away the few short minutes I have to breathe in this world, throw it away on family pride and a seven-letter name? Gaylord. Gaylord. GAYLORD. A sound like an elm tree full of katydids.

Gaylord Ravenal elevated the right eyebrow and looked down his aristocratic nose at the capering little captain. "I am Gaylord Ravenal, of the Tennessee Ravenals. I failed to catch your name."

He smiled often, he could make his knuckles crack like pistol shots, and he had the courtesy to address him as Gaylord, and not by some ridiculous title of his own.

‘Gaylord!’ ¶ ‘Bum-chum!’ ¶ ‘Chutney Ferret!’

BINGO: You shouldn't have nicked my beers yer gaylord!

That bloke's got a pink t-shirt on - what a gaylord!

Back to gaylord school tomorrow.

They come sorted according to type, in large cardboard gaylord boxes (you'll see pumpkins in these containers at supermarkets) or shrink-wrapped on a pallet.
