...I just got called a toe-dragging speed monkey! Tee hee! :lol:

Have you noticed how some nicknames (board/sign-in names) just fit and you can call that person by their nickname versus their given name? Loki, Kindig, Photo... Yeah, the only nickname of mine that ever stuck for any given period was Toots (no, not toot like a choo-choo train, but Toots, like "Hey, Toots, what's shakin'?). But that was in another time...

Anyhoo, just mindless psychobabble. Back to work for me so I can develop Alzheimer's!

You know in my life time I have had a slew of nick names

Arizona - I had just moved from there to texas

Wrongway - I put a welding truck in a 10 foot ditch backwards while hanging feet first out the window

Cat, Kitty, - I had big cats (tigers and leopards an such)

there have been others but none come to mind right now

Most of my nicknames have come since I've been in the Marines... Archie is the most common, due to my last name being wicked long and that is the start of it... That has had a few varrients, Archie Knucles, and the like... And then there was Roach, I have no idea how that on started but its stuck a little, just with the old crew that is slowly leaving....

Believe me, I tried! It's a scary thing trying to put the instinct on the back burner for the faith in physics! More hangin' off the bike next time.
