Do you have a nickname?

[bmccasland]

From my riding partner. Early last season while out on a training ride, some other rider did something that yanked my chain, I was grumbling, and was harrassed about my grumbling. Then I replied something to the effect that I didn't have any sugar in my morning coffee, but Mike heard, that I didn't have any sugar in my pockets. He wasn't sure why I said that, what sugar in my pockets had do do with anything, and why would I have coffee in my pockets... and I've been called Sugar Pockets ever since.

Some of these are really funny--the ones that have interesting stories behind them remind me of "trail names" that long-distance hikers often have. (Some good ones I have heard are "Sir Pees-A-Lot", "Flameboy", who must have had some sort of accident with his stove, and "Vagus" as in cranial nerve X). I've never really had a nickname other than "Andi" (short for Andrea) when I was little, and that one was really only used by my family.

Wow, funny to see all those different nicknames... I've had a few too...

Badger - while I was still in the Corps had a 1stSgt call me Badger, small and
cute, but vicious when provoked

Motivated B@#ch on wheels - another one from the Corps

Milkbone - was on a call, went back out to the truck to get supplies and a
dog blindsided me and tried to have my thigh for dinner, my EMS
buddies call me milkbone and even came up with a safety kit for
me a, P.E.E.D.D - Paramedic Entry Exit Diversion Device, 2
milkbones in a ziplock with instructions to throw at dog and run
like crazy person. So my last nickname is "Kibbles" some RN's in
the ED have decided to call me that instead of milkbone. LOL

Milkbone so far is one that has stuck with a lot of people, heck I answer to it if they can't get my attention any other way
