maneatingcow Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 On the topic of names, people who give themselves nicknames are the worst people in the world. I work with a guy who gave himself the nickname Ringo because "I'm a Star, why wouldn't I call myself Ringo". We also have a guy who introduced himself to everyone as Boz and would get pissed if anyone would call him by his first name. His name was something as bland as John Smith, so nothing that even fits close to that. They even got there nicknames embroidered on their work shirts, so I tried doing the same thing with the nickname I have given myself but my employer wouldn't let me. For some reason they found it inappropriate that I wanted to go by the name Princess Butterfly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Logan Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Princess Butterfly is such a majestic name, you should appeal their decision in court. maneatingcow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggle Von Swift Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Have fun! I recommend the bus trips to Wicklow and the Cliffs of Moher. Will be researching these tonight. Thanks!

laralaurent Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I have not the coolest name but I was named for Lara's theme the classical song from Dr. Zhivago. And Lara is a babe in that so that's a win I always wanted to name my children after songs such as Adeline from Sweet Adeline but decided it was best not to name a child after a song with heroin references. As much as I love it Snaggle Von Swift 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eight1echo Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Earlier today someone donated a bunch of records to the store where I work. I was just going through them and found a couple of pages ripped out of a porn magazine hidden inside a Rick Springfield album. I think this tops the list of the best things I've found in old records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seangj Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Totally. Probably because they come from Gaelic and it's just wacky spelling compared to English. Speaking of Shawn. I never got the spelling/pronunciation of 'Sean' I would pronounce that 'Seen' or 'See-in' I have only had people don't speak English pronounce my name wrong. Most of the Spanish speaking people I know pronounce my name "say-on," because ser in the imperative of they is sean, or "chon." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaggle Von Swift Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Ugh Comcast is the worst. Verizon isn't THAT much better though, unfortunately. (and I don't consider satilite companies as being real). Comcast really does have a horrible stronghold over people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futures Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I've heard people on either side of the fence about Verizon. Mainly if people have the extra money to throw around, they're content with Verizon. I can't even go near it simply because of their rates. Up until this past March I've always had Comcast and they are just shoddy all the way around. Between their service, their hardware/software, and their customer service (that I have come in contact with) just seem straight up terrible.
