oldwomanc6 38 #1 March 24, 2013 Do any of you have potential nicknames? Probably, yes. Do you like them, or does it make you want to punch someone in the throat when they use them? Granted, most of them aren't objectionable, but I for one, HATE when people shorten my name to "Lis. Lees. or Lease." I have a standard answer to that (beyond the ignoring): "Lease is a legal document, not a name." How about any of you? Do like or hate your nickname?lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 14 #2 March 24, 2013 At my old dropzone I was so busy with students some days they called me "Johnny Jumpmaster." I guess there's worse nick names than that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theplummeter 14 #7 March 24, 2013 When I went to take my first FAA checkride in school the Fed that showed up was in a horrible mood. We went through all the paperwork, oral exam portion, and did the preflight. As soon as we took off unforecast turbulence started. I asked the guy if he wanted to reschedule given the weather but he said he were already airborne so we might as well finish. Two very bumpy hours later we landed and my instructor asked Inspector Cranky how everything went. He replied "I felt like a god damn chewtoy in a crazy puppies mouth, but I guess he passed. My name never appeared on anything at the school again, I was simply known as Chewtoy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IJskonijn 38 #15 March 24, 2013 I got my nickname from my AFF jumpmaster, since I was really stressed and flailing around during my first four AFF jumps. I guess there are worse ways to earn one... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Squeak 17 #19 March 24, 2013 anyone want to hazard a guess at my nicknameI've had it since a wee lad of about 7 years old. A LOT of people ONLY know me as Squeak, if any of you meet me I will be introduced to you as Squeak.Amazon and ONLY Amazon calls me Squeakiepoo, and that's only because she'd likely kick my arse if I tried to prevent her from calling me it You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

Niki1 1 #25 March 24, 2013 I was Niki (pronounced "Nick-Eye") for a long time. Until a little trouble in Arkansas. Then I tried to go back to Bob. That would have been easier if I could've quit answering to Niki.Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.
