The Fancy Bastard Forum

I mentioned this in the "post your XBL/Wii/PSN name" thread, but it bears repeating.

Mine is Spunkmaster. It's a combination of "Funkmaster Flex", and the "I'm spunky" lyric from The Humpty Dance. During a 4am conversation, it was determined that, in accordance with the Digital Underground prophecy, being "spunky" was the highest form of existence. So I became Spunkmaster Sean. It then morphed into the nicknames Spunky, Spunk, Spunkmaster, etc. I had never heard the spunk=sperm thing before the name stuck (no pun intended), so when that name became my wrestling persona, the bad guys had a built-in insult for me.

I've never really had nicknames, just a series of names related to "Edward" (Ed, Eddie, etc.). :-/

In middle school, I was "Whistling Potato". I don't even remember how that came about. It had something to do with how the steam escapes from a cooked potato with a whistling noise sometimes... yeah that really doesn't shed much light on it.

The best nickname I ever had is a play on my last name... not sure how I got it, but it involved a late-night script-writing session in college. It had several variations depending on who I was talking to.... Smack-my-ass-ski, Bare-ass-ski, Naked-ass-ski, stuff along those lines. This is what happens when you hang out with theater people.

In highschool I was call 'the Doc' by some since I gave some kid medical advice once (we had the same malady).

In college I picked up the nickname "omega" for no other reason that there was another person in the group with my first name and he got the nickname "alpha"

I've also been referred to as Wookie, not because I'm hairy but because I make the noise really well.

all of the following are in wide circulation and common usage:
Dram
Wacko, Jacko, and Bob (all together they make one super-nickname)
Mmmmmmmmmbobbaybobbay (I have no idea)
Scud
Bookie
Sir Scud the bold

I used the get a few different ones because i have an uncommon first name. I won't tell you my name but i got Garfield (I'm not fat), Giraffe (I'm not tall.) then there was Pigsy because i have a big appetite and my personal favourite Fartso because i farted once in class in primary school.

Well, my last name rhymes with a certain type of lunch meat...so I get called that certain type of lunch meat at times.
Another strange one is Kyle, my name is Kara, but a friend of mine is convinced that it should be Kyle.

When I had long hair and a Lincoln beard in highschool i was Dirty Jesus X.

When I wanted to be a geek rapper in highschool I was D. Bugg Mode (or DeBugg Mode).

Well, other than the constant "mispronunciation" of my last name because people are too embarrassed to say it the way its spelled, I really don't have an official nickname now. I had a few as a kid, mostly relating to my maiden last name. As for now, the only thing that qualifies is that my husband and I never call each other by name, we always call each other "babe". He actually called me Nikki about 3 months ago and I was so weirded out I asked if he was leaving me or something.

In my mind I'm picturing the "Two A-holes" skits from SNL.

Oh lord, I don't even want to know. (I haven't watched SNL regularly since the mid 90s)

it's allegedly one of the "best" "new' characters SNL has had in the post Tina Fey (read: sucky) era.

That's a little harsh. I realize though that every time a popular actor leaves SNL it automatically becomes the "worst SNL ever". It happens EVERY time without fail. I remember the Myers-Carvey-Sandler-Hartman-etc. era being called the worst SNL ever, and that they could never possibly recover. It's tired. Not to say that SNL hasn't had legitimately bad moments, but the current incarnation is solid. In particular, the female cast members are exceptional. Kristen Wiig is an extraordinarily talented comedic actress with a huge range. She never disappoints and I'd watch for her alone. The Digital Shorts are also a welcome addition.

Although, to be fair, Weekend Update has suffered without Tina. I'm not a huge fan of either Amy Poehler or Seth Meyers and it's worse when they feed off each other. Not that I was a huge fan of Jimmy Fallon either, but Tina pulled the weight for both.

Back on topic, I don't think I've had any real nickname other than "Big Mike". Woefully unoriginal.

I was Space Camp Girl for the first three weeks of college because I got harangued by my fellow future classmates to be a part of the hypnotist act during orientation week. I was wearing a vintage space camp t-shirt and that's all I'm gonna say about that.

The one of the best nick names I've heard in a while was a giant bear of a guy named Speck.

While I college I was called Moe. I was wearing a Three Stooges shirt on move in day, and the female RA Ariel started calling me that.

One of the neighbour kids when I was growing up, microwaved fish sticks for 35 minutes. Needless to say they caught fire. We called him Fish Stick Boy after that, and he haaaaated it!

It's silly but, they call me MonkeyBear because of a little stuffed animal I had as a baby, it's bright red, has a the face of a teddy bear, and wore a black and white striped outfit, but it had long swingy limbs like a monkey. I have no idea.

Was his name Pleepleus? And is there anyone on these forums that would understand what I'm talking about?

Is that a reference to...oh God, what was the name...Wuzzles? The ones that were two different animals mixed together? BumbleLion is the only name I remember from them though.

EDIT: Wikipedia says that was the name I was looking for.

A worthy guess, but no. Pleepleus is the "mascot" for Three Sheets, a delightful drinking show on MOJO HD. The basic premise is that a comedian travels to different cities around the world trying their unique drinks and bizarre food and learning their drinking games. I don't even drink that much but I have to watch the show whenever it's on. Here's a link to the Las Vegas show, which is admittedly less worldly than most of the shows but is a good representation of what Three Sheets is about.

EDIT: Apparently every episode is on Hulu, so just watch it there. You won't be disappointed.

In elementary school, kids called me "Gnasher." I think it was because I bit people a lot.

These days, I'm "Token White Guy".

Oh dear, where to start. Well Tree-Vor is one nickname I was given while working at MicroCenter, and my sister likes to call me Treevort or Treevortsky, my real name is Trevor. Through Junior high my nicknames included Tals Guy (my initials are TALS), Lurch, and Ogre. I've also been called the Jolly Green-Haired Giant a few times recently. I'm probably forgetting one or two but those are the ones I remember. Did you notice the theme?

Up until highschool my name was Leo, because of my last name and its my sign. It also sometimes turned into Uncle Leo, like from Seinfeld. I had actually forgotten all about it until I read this thread.

Anyone who likes Three Sheets should check out Insomniac with Dave Attell, Its basically Dave(a comedian) getting drunk and bar hopping in different places while crackin jokes with the locals.

Its really funny.

Yeah, I enjoy Insomniac here and there. I guess that makes me realize that what I really enjoy about Three Sheets is the educational value. I'm saddened by that realization.

MICROCENTER! Did you have to put stickers on every printer cable you sold so you could get credit? I knew a guy that worked there.
