RE: Road Names...
My name Clutch came from my first Harley back in 1964, I bought a 1947 61 cu.in. knuckle with a tank shift and a foot clutch (and the left grip twisted also). I dropped it, in a ditch, at a stop sign,the first day I had it, not knowing how to work that dammed foot clutch. I learned quickly, but the name stuck.

RE: Road Names...
I think I've been called everything in the book....lol. Funny one was this past summer I went to a baseball game with some buddies and wanted a vanilla ice cream. So me and my friends hit the ice cream bar and I saw these kids getting their ice creams with sprinkles on them. I was like man, I havent had an ice cream with sprinkles since I was a kid, so I ordered mine with sprinkles. Well, I guess the dudes I was with thought that was queer or something and they started giving me hell for getting sprinkles on my ice cream. Well to this day, my new nickname has become Sprinkles. lol. Hey, I could either kick their asses for or laugh back at them....I chose to laugh....cause I got some names for them too...Its all fun

Grizzly was my platoons call sign in Iraq (04-05 Fallijah/Ramadi) I was the PltSgt and for a time the PltCmdr. Grizzly is actually my Regiments call sign, (5thMarines) but my plt was the only part of the Regiment in theater, so we were assigned that call sign. Anyhow, long story short, thats where my road name came from. I deployed again with 5th Marines in 06 back to Fallujah, but it wasnt the same.
I had a great time with the Fighting fifth. Now I am wearing Warrant Officer bars and with an Arty Bn (5/11). But thats another story...

With a first name like Cord, you could imagine the comments and names I've heard from it. I've even made up a few just so I didn't have to hear them from someone esle. It was annoying at first, but now, I realize there's not many people with that name, so people remember it.
The cabledude came about because i work cable tv for a living. When the Jim Carrey movie, "The Cable Guy", came out, that's all I heard. I would thell people that I wasn't a cableguy, but a "cabledude". I was too cool to be just a regular cableguy. I use it online most of the time.[8D]

I've had quite a few... Family has called me Bud since day 1. Had a couple buddies call me Circ. short for circle track, since I used to race. Went by Rockstar for awhile, I always used to pound rockstar energy drinks every day. Went by Billy by a select few for our country/rock-a/pscyobilly taste in music. had a few girlfriends call me a-- hole...
