been called koopa since i was 18.
I borrowed this little lotus elise two seater sportscar thing one weekend because a pal of mine suggested it would be a sure fire way to impress the local tail. If you ve ever seen one of these things they are tiny. Im talking like the size of a bmw mini only very low to the ground and a 2 seater.
So we are cruising around with the roof off getting a few looks from the girls and we are grinning from ear to ear thinking we must look bomb *** to these young chicks. After a while it becomes clear why we are getting so many looks. A girl i knew from high school sees us and hollars from the side of the road. "Who the hell are you two trying to mack on looking like the goddamn gorilla and dinosaur from the mario kart game!"
We both looked at each other in shame. A couple of 6ft3 200lb ers in this stupidly small car cruising around looking like a gorilla in a pram. I was known as koopa ever since!
Back when I was in college, I found a Wal-Mart name tag in a shopping cart. So, I took it home and clipped it to my backpack, and wore it for 4 years. Everyone called me BOB, because that's what the tag said. I still have it clipped onto my tool box in the garage.....just can't seem to get rid of it.
A friend saw me hauling an AMF bike frame up a set of bleachers in the summer of 86 and it reminded him of a new wrestling movie "Vision Quest" and he dubbed me The Shute. Name stuck when all my buds adopted it.
My forum handle's my nickname...kinda self explanatory...buds call me TJ for short. They've been threatenin to revoke it tho...kinda slowed down on the ta-kill-ya...(as Gumby called it one time hehe)...my 50-year-old gut don't handle it like it useta. But, when I do drink liquor...it's tequila time.
A guy I work with his name is Buck so he's called Bucky. Funny thing is every single person he talks to, he calls that person Bucky. Kinda throws ya for a loop at first

Had to add the 537 in order to register because apparently there are alot of users that go by the name. I've been in law enfrocement for 28 years, which includes 14 years on swat and working undercover narcotics for 3 1/2 years in a city that has been ranked number one in homicides way too many times in the last couple of years. And believe it or not, the name has absolutely nothing to do with the job!
