Well good BBQ is a religion
You’re going to get into trouble with the man for discussing religion on his website, I’m just saying! (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-sealed.gif)

I am starting to feel guilty. After seeing all the negative reaction to nicknames I am beginning to think I should use my real name. . .
You are sooooo bad, Devon. Besides, I thought that was an alias.
I, for one, must get used to 2 names for everyone. My wife is from the left coast, so when I first met her family (her Dad was one of ten) I tried to learn everyone’s name. At the first family picnic I ran into “nobody calls Me that, call me ****”. Everyone in the family was called something else. Her Dad, Bruce, was “Bill”.
So is a person’s real name what is one their birth certificate, or what they prefer to be called?
I was “Little Louie”, because my Dad was “Big Lou”. Actually he was Lou Junior, because his Pop was Senior. But I was not “The Third” because my middle name was different, but everyone would call me Junior, but I was not, I explained, because Dad is. "Then you must be “The Third”. No, because my middle name is different. Dad is Junior, Grandpa is Senior. “Then you’re The Third.” No, I’m not. Who’s on first? I don’t know. He’s on third.
I have to go lay down now, I have a headache.
Lou, yes, I was “little Dave”, since my dad was “Big Dave”, but we had different middle names so I wasn’t junior neither. But that ended when my dad decided that I was to no longer be part of his existence.
I usually go by David, since the other Davids around me tend to go by Dave. I also go by Maynard. It doesn’t really matter, just as long as I know the person is talking to me. One customer called me “The Copier Man”, one called me “The Wizard”, and many called me “The Xerox Man”.
What’s in a name? A rose, called by another name, would still cost as much. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
OK Joe maybe BBQ isn’t a religion but eat a great brisket is a spiritual event. . . is that better?
I had multiple personality disorder as a kid. . .I was Devon, DJ, Turkey, Hey you, Wait til your dad gets home, a few names I can’t repeat, and for awhile I was addressed by an evil stare with no verbal accompaniment.
I stick with Devon
None of my nicknames can be used in a family site.(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-sealed.gif)
Ha , My older brother decided when mom was pregnant with me to start telling everyone he was going to have a brother named Peterson, well my grandma thought that was the cutest thing ever, so she kept calling me Peterson, it shortened to Pete and no one hardly knows my given name, and I am glad since I am a Jr, and never liked that . I did pay back my brother , when his son Chris IV was born my joking one day to just call him CJ since there is no middle name, and it stuck. MUCH to the dismay of his wife who I think is still mad at me for that.
No one ever gave me a nickname. There’s a lot of cool nicknames out there and I didn’t get none of 'em. Sigh! I think nicknames are cool. When I played baseball my first year some of the players called me “Hey Rookie,” or, “You there Rook,” but that’s about it, and that doesn’t really count.
Oh your asking for it John. . .watch what you wish for. I never had one that stuck.

My late Uncle Ward would have loved that place. He was always asking us to order him something he could “goom” (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif)He owned a set of false teeth but didn’t like to wear them - always kept them packed up in the luggage when we traveled.

Oh sh****t. I didn’t think of that. I formally withdraw my wistful remarks.

Multiple personality disorder? Huh? I had an identity crisis the other day. I was in Erie, standing beside my company van. So there I was, standing beside a Print-O-Stat van, wearing my Oce jacket, over my Print-O-Stat shirt, under my Xerox Umbrella. Yea, I am here to fix some kind of machine…(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif)

I ran with JC for decades, my gang often used guys last names, but look at my puzzle. JC was a happy compromise. I worked in a shop with 7 guys named John, I brought it back. Dad never liked it. (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-undecided.gif)
JC
OK, this is it. I’ve got it.

I used to go by “David Russell”, but I got such nasty emails I had to go back to my other alias.
