[Nixy]

Prof has a name?

Yes

 

[AlphaTroll]

What is it?

 

[tonksy]

rob calls me tracy, as do my mother, my ex and his family. steve calls me tonks. everyone at works calls me tonks or tonksy with the occasional smattering of customers who know my real name and it makes them feel special to use it.
it's funny....it's an old nickname but there is no one left from the old days...hell, even my navy buddies would refer to me as "carter" .

 

[Inkara1]

Does it matter what I call you so long as I don't call you late for dinner?

 

[tonksy]

something like that

 

[Inkara1]

I don't know how It'll sound if anyone calls me Inky while I'm there... unless a pen explodes in my pocket or something.

 

[AlphaTroll]

If I were there'd I'd likely end up calling everyone "Hey you"

 

[Inkara1]

I'll just call everyone "G-money" and see how that goes over.

 

[AlphaTroll]

G...for 'gimme'?

 

[Inkara1]

I honestly have no idea... I like your suggestion though.

 

[AlphaTroll]

I don't know how It'll sound if anyone calls me Inky while I'm there... unless a pen explodes in my pocket or something.

Which pocket...and does it have to be a pen?

 

[Inkara1]

Well, see, the joke was that people might call me "inky" if a pen explodes in my pocket, since pens are full of ink and all.

 

[AlphaTroll]

I got the joke....just wondered what people would call you if something else exploded in another pocket...

Wet...I suppose

 

[catocom]

Half the people I know call me Cat anyway so it wouldn't seem unusual to me.

 

[chcr]

So, one thing I've been wondering... are we going to call each other by our first names or by our OTC names?

"Call me Ishmael..."

Seriously, friends and fellow musicians call me Chic (pronounced "chick") and coworkers call me Ed. Chic will work under these circumstances. A lot of people who send me spam think I'm Bob Evans (but not that Bob Evans).

Of course I realize that when Inky first sees me he'll call me "Ishmael." Perhaps I'll carry a tomato with me "just in case."

Just do it outside. That stuff is hell to get out of the carpets.

 

[paul_valaru]

if it's not to late...can i be put down as a 50-50.

DUDE, I am SUPPOSE to be getting ready to go out with my mom...I can't let her hear me laugh or she'll know I'm on the intraweb (ok, she doesn't call it that, she knows the real name)

 

[HomeLAN]

You can call me whatever ya want, but keep it clean.

Of course it's not too late.

 

[Stop Laughing]

I haven't bought any tickets yet, but I wanted to make this trip a little longer than the Montreal one. The whole Thursday through Monday does sound good, as I do want to look around a bit (I may someday want to move there). Transportation's an issue with me as I currently don't drive and probably won't get a license within a month so I'd have to hitch rides everywhere again.

As for food, I dunno what I should bring. I can get the Italian beef made again or bring it in a catering tray with the heating candles for it or bring Chicago style pizza. However, tonksy makes such good homemade pizza (you could open up here and be among the best in town for sure ) and the only one I realistically could bring is one packed in dry ice that would need the oven anyways and while I've never tried the dry ice packed reheated pizza, I bet it isn't quite the same as eating it fresh from here, and I don't have any pizza recipes. It'll likely be beef or bust again. Or, for Inky, I'll bring the tomato sauce. Better watch out, those cans hurt more than the tomatoes!
