Hey Ronald, I didn't know you've been to all those states. What was New Hampshire like? Oh, by the way, does anyone remember the earthquake that shook the school back in the day? I was in Mr. Reggio's class taking a test and I (at first) thought someone behind me was kicking my chair. When I looked behind me, no one was doing anything to it. Then I noticed the rocking sensation started to feel like I was in a boat on the lake. It was a smooth flowing motion. I never forgot that.

That is HILARIOUS, Theut!! None of those worked for you, Jeff? Really? Personally, I've had a lot of success with the Mr. Furious approach (Ben Stiller's character in Mystery Men). You might give that one a try.

Thompson - Was my f**k really your first? I think that is sooo precious!! My pottymouth has really blossomed since then, too. I bet I've even got a few more firsts for you. I'm always inventing new ones on the fly to fit my different circumstances. I think it's my special purpose.

I remember it, Corey! Very freaky.

Toast, if i go bowling i will probably need shoulder and elbow replacement too. Corey, i also remember the earthquake. I was home sick that day and the whole house was shaking...cool.

So I'm not the only one who remembers! Anyone who remembers the earthquake, tell us where you were and what was going on at the time. I think it will make for an interesting read..... (^_^)

Now that I think of it there was another earthquake a few years later (maybe 2?). When that one hit I was at home sitting on the living room couch 'riding the wave' then ran outside to see if it affected anything.

Nicole Cassisa (Prevo)

I was at home drying my hair. I believe I was out sick that day too. I think you're right about the second one. Can't account for myself then, though.

Who's toast? Mike Thompson? I can't remember.

Nicole, I wish someone would provide a list of the guys and their associated nicknames. It's hard to keep track. Juice? Toast? Crow? And what I'd really like to know is the origin of the nicknames.

Jennifer Schwab

Corey, sorry my memory is so bad, I don't remember either earthquake.

Nicole Cassisa (Prevo)

I agree Jen. Toast, Juice, Crow- identify yourselves!

12/07/08 11:02 PM #1254    

Michael Thompson

Juice = Bob Majewski naturally.

Crow = Jim Belt because he kinda looked like the Scarecrow from Wizard of Oz.

I have NO idea who this Toast character was?? But the rumor is Mike Grewe (class of 86) gave him the nickname at basketball practice one day. Long complicated story, I'm sure.

Theut and Joe -

Don't forget the "Find the biggest dude playing football and try to fight him in the Snow" Murphy fight. My personal favorite, since he would no longer be with us if I hadn't stopped that one. This dude was a beast! Made me feel tiny.

Jeffrey Murphy

toast... your nickname is toast cause you always got burned... see, not such a long story.

and thank you again for emu dude, you DID save me.

David Sutter

Although Jim does look like a scarecrow, the nickname Crow actually originated from JV baseball. Jim had a stange way of calling for fly balls. He sounded exactly like a crow....hence the nickname. Speaking of baseball, there is another nickname out there, E6. That's all I will say because if the person reads this he will kill me.

now that I am fully awake and had a leg to north carolina to think, there is a little more to toast... I think it was like people calling each other "homey... homeslice... homebread... whitebread... and then it was clear that thompson got burned a lot... like whitebread toast... and he became toast....

I remember that dinner with isaah thomas and when you introduced yourself as toast he started laughing and instantly knew why you were called that... in fact I remember someone starting to explain it and he giggled and said "I get it, I get it"

Dave
Just pretend your playing firstbase he will never come close you!!! just joking E6(I had my fair share of errors too) The CROW nickname is 2-fold Dave was right about baseball & in basketball Jim's defensive stance looked like a scarecrow. What about "Spook"??

Lisa Miller (Shedlock)

OK, so I'm gathering that guy's nicknames must be given to them - can't make up your own - and they must be based on either a physical attribute (good or bad - usually bad), something you have done (good or bad - again usually bad) or a funny variation of your name. See, girls can't do that to each other.

Michael Thompson

Miller here wants a nickname.

I'm goiung with High Life. Simple, yet catchy. Plays off the name of course. Which is way better than a constant reminder that you're an idiot.

The only Skippy I remeber was Steve Kathan, but that goes back to little league baseball. I don't think it ever stuck.

O'I've forgotten who we called E6. O'somebody help me remember.

You should hear the wacky shit I call my kids. Sparky is my favorite.

Michael Thompson

And just so you don't think we outgrow this.....my friends now are We, Rudy, Niner, Cooter, Fat Jeff, BWalk, Giant and Bighead.

And I'm now Big Mike.

Women are smarter than men and can actually remember names.

Mike
here is a hint Merry "Chris_mas"

Lisa Miller (Shedlock)

Hey - Big Mike - did you call me an idiot?? Watch your back - I'll unleash Nicole on you.

BTW...if anyone is making plans to go watch the Spartans play in Disney World, let me know. I'm checking out flights/rooms today.

Jeffrey Murphy

you are absolutely right lisa... the #1 rule of nicknames is that you can't give it to yourself... there was an entire seinfeld episode on this as george wanted a nickname... and he chose t-bone but no one would call him that...

he became coco the monkey which illustrates your second point... it should be based on something physical.

my nickname was easy. smurfy. murphy, murf, smurfy. the last girl I dated called me smurfy all the time, short legs, no hair, rounish features and she held out turning a part of mw blue.

joey had the best nickname but I can't post it because times have changed and it was quite possibly the least pc nickname(s) of all time.

mike theut was call bunz, short for thunderbuns... as a kid he had large thighs and butt and we would pay intertube wars. NO one could flip him...

a girl could never be called that...

brian wenzell was called glade. he was playing outside and ran in to poop... when he came out we discovered that he used the glade air freshener as a cologne... too funny...

my sister tammy became tambo when she hit her growth spurt and got strong... she beat up one of my friends and was wild like rambo so she became tambo.

anyone remember any more?

bruce manning was turtle...

brian ales was putt putt which is now just putt because he is so damn slow.

bruce murphy became juicie... brucie juicie, juicie fruit, juicie.

joey and I had a whole list of girl nicknames and private hand gestures to symblize them... they will NEVER surface.

Kenneth Ringel
