The Merry Men

Why are they called the Merry Men?

The name came about because Squire looks like a squire, just look at his face, and especially his goatee, its a squire's goatee. So of course the name squire leads to Robin Hood, and then Merry Men. Then of course Big John got his name because he is the tallest. Dale gets his name because he looks like Dale Gribble from the TV show King of the Hill. The Professor got his name because since he was the other guy he was called 'the rest", like on the intro to the first Gilligan's Island shows. And of course "the rest" on Gilligan's Island refers to the Professor and Marian.
