My maiden name is French (the nationality, not the word) so, out of 8 letters only half of them are pronounced. No one ever said my last name right unless they knew me or my family. One night, when I was working in the casino, a customer spotted my nametag and yelled out my last name. He pronounced it correctly. I was shocked and amazed! I asked him how he knew it. Was he French? Canadian? A French major? No. A hockey fan and his favorite goalie had my last name.

Between the military and this job, I've picked up a buttload of aka's...
I've been known as Scribe, Lurch, Trenchcoat, Ogre, Sloth, Mongo, Ten-hut... I've not yet been given a name by the dirties out there, unlike my friend from the Academy, who is known as "Officer Grizzly..."

my kitten has jumped all over the keyboard on my laptop and my web browser is all screwed up!
But the important question is, did that get you a nickname?
My husband's had quite a few of them from his job, too. Dr. Evil and Beaver (as in Leave It To...) are the two that have stuck around longer than a couple of underways.
You know, you just increased the chances of me being able to pronounce your maiden name by about 50%.
Of course he'd tell you that's what it was referencing...
Truth is he was attacked by a goddamn aquatic, industrious mammal!
You know, you were the first person I thought of when I was typing that post.
I've never had a nickname.
No time like the present, Deezy.
Roger.. Over.
I had to actually do my job for a little while. It was horrible.

I don't, but I live around and work with people who do, so I can confirm. Not only that, but they pronounce "tower" in such a way that it sounds like black goop.
That's a real accent? I thought that only existed in parody.
Is that Cleveland doing the voice-over?

Would one of you guys buy and ship me a bag from Jumpfrompaper to Germany if I send you the money?
Do we get to pick the bag?
I took a look at the website, why do they not show the product that they are selling?
Nope. ^^ I want the Playing Hooky one.
