I go by B.A. There was a birthday party for a friend of mine in a private room at a casino steak house and about 10 couples were there.
The wiskey poured and we all got louder laughing and cutting up but not totally out of hand.There were people in the resturant louder than we were. The manager of the steak house came in and told us we had to keep it down and turned around and walked out. This pissed me off.
I told our waitress to get the manager because I wanted a word with her. She came back and I explained that this was a BD party and with as much money that we were spending in the casino and her steak house we could laugh if we wanted to and she could french kiss my a$$ hole if she didn't like it.
My buddy turned to me and said " Your a real bad a$$" and the name stuck. They call me BA for short.
Someone once said I was so skinny I could stand under a clothesline in the rain and not get wet. So then he started calling me Big Al and I've had it for 29 years now.
NeonHomer..... I used to "race" Dodge Neon's, and I'm a Homer Simpson fan.
I have a CB handle of Bugzapper.... I used to have a "Sweet 16" 1600 watt linear amplifier in my truck. I guess one night a dragonfly decided to settle on my antenna and die, and when a buddy of mine came by the house, he saw it and said I must have zapped it with the radio. Hence Bugzapper..... but I go by NeonHomer on the Internet more and more...
There is some dude in Texas who also uses Neonhomer, and he has been trying for years to get me to release my email addresses that use it (yahoo and gmail). I pretty much told him to pound sand.
Don't really have a nickname in the usual sense... don't know why...
I remember someone wanting to give himself a nickname here a few weeks back and I thought to myself I wonder who all has a nickname here. I have a couple that are used regularly. When we're all sitting around putting a few back I'm known as "one more Mike" simply cause I never want to stop. My everyday nickname is TSO, yep just like the Chinese chicken recipe General Tso chicken. That came about because I'm a simple redneck from southern Indiana and I pronounce it like it is spelt, and that would be a hard "T" and "ZO". Well all my buddys laughed like I had a dick growing outta my forehead, so I'm now known as Tso.
Anyone else gotta funny story on how they got theirs?
That's funny because I'm a redneck from Southern Indiana too. Now live in Louisville with the missus though.
People used to call me couch in college because most, if not all, of my free time was spent on the couch watching sportscenter and the nickname just stuck. Funny thing is that I play(ed) all kinds of sports and never really was a true couch potato but it was kinda funny. People (especially the girls) would always ask why they call me couch and I would just start laughing because they always thought it meant something else. LOL
I've been given a lot of nick names. the one I like best was given to me a group of Air Force pilots when I was an Army air traffic controller. I was green & ugly and impossible to fly past without getting caught: Toad.
