Our Timneh's name is R.J. Timbit, the Enchanter. Timbit for short. First, you have to know that we are big hockey fans—big Buffalo Sabres fans. So the R.J. is short for Rick Jeanneret, legendary play-by-play announcer who's been with the Sabres since 1971. Jeanneret is known for his boisterous calls, puns on players names, and really making a home viewer (or listener) feel the excitement of the game. Since we watch every single Sabres game, there's a good chance Timbit will pick up on some of Jenneret's more frequent calls. And we will be proud, proud bird parents the day Timbit yells, "He scoooooooooooooores! Top shelf where momma hides the cookies!" The "Timbit" is partially a hockey fan thing, partially a coffee-lover thing, and partially a play on the word "Timneh." Tim Hortons is a chain of coffee shops started by former hockey player Tim Horton. At Tim Horton's, they sell donut holes called Timbits. Timneh. Timbit. How cute is that? We just couldn't resist. Also a play off the word "Timneh," is the name Tim. But every time we think of the name Tim, we can't help but think of Tim the Enchanter in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. You know, the guy who tells the Crusaders all about the rabbit—the one with the sharp, pointy teeth. And so there you have it. R.J. Timbit, the Enchanter. Timbit for short.
