Bad Man Gilbert?
Gun Man Gilbert?
Gilberts A Wenis?

I've used poor judgment before. I believe most people have made a mistake or two at one point in their lives -- just like Gilbert Arenas. I spent a vacation in Mexico a couple years ago and my cell phone didn't have any service, making it useless. For some inexplicable reason, I brought it out one night, knowing it that I wouldn't be able to call or text anyone. When I got back to my hotel room later that night, I realized I had lost it. I had used bad judgment from the beginning by bringing my cell phone out when I clearly didn't need it.

But it was okay. A friend of mine told me that losing it was probably going to be a blessing in disguise because it was in bad condition anyways. I couldn't do anything about it and when I returned home, I got a new phone -- a much better phone. My friend was absolutely right.

(Side Note: Although the parallels between my situation and Arenas' poor judgment seem downright silly, when professional athletes try to joke around with their teammates by pulling out four guns, loaded or unloaded, that stupidity opens themselves up to all sorts of ridiculous comparisons.)
