Emu is less sweet than kangaroo, it's been a while since I last ate emu but it's reasonably similar to beef mince in flavour, with a different texture.

In high school I had a few nicknames. Gray, Hearny, Hearnia

, Stoner and Psycho.
However the worst nickname anyone in my high school had was El Squirto...Poor guy.

There was even an El Squirto comic book being made at one point...

...Hernia? *ouch!* That just gotta hurt...

...reminds me of my group of friends way back in college when I was taking up BS Biology (as my pre-med course). We have this college organization: The U.P. Zoological Society. Our org would have different committees (i.e., execomm, fincomm, seccomm, etc.) and my friends and I came up with this unofficial committee --- sexcomm

Each of us would have pseudonames, named after "supposedly" Sesame Street characters: Hernie and PerBert, Oscar the Mouth, Mr. Snuffle-upyur-***, Pooky Monster (in Filipino, when correctly spelled, pooky means something else), Grabber, Kermit the Prod, etc...

...oh yeah, I was Hernie.

El Squirto, you say? Man, he must be a mean shooter of kittens!

Nah, my last name is Hearn so it wasn't too bad, though ironically enough I was born with a hernia. I only found out because when one of my friends asked another of my friends if they'd seen Graham (there were two Grahams in my year) the second friend (who I was sitting next to at the time, a fact which she somehow missed

) whether it was "Doddo (Dodsen) or Hearnia". There was a moment of shocked silence, when everyone just stared at me, and the girl I was sitting next to turned around and saw me sitting there and almost died of embarassment. I just started laughing, and teased her about it for the next few weeks...

Ermm...that wasn't why he was called El Squirto. He was at a party, started feeling up one of the girls, and 'jumped the gun' as it were. That would have been embarassing enough as it was, but then (being very drunk) he went around telling everyone what he'd just done, and then made about 6 different (not very plausible) excuses the next week at school.

Hmm...my worst nicknames in school were Squeaky (being a year young, my voice was of course the last to break) and Mole (Moleman, Moley, any variation because of my haircut I suppose). I just answered to them and didn't let them affect me at all.

The worst nickname in my school has to be this guy in my year who had been called "PigFish" for over 10 years. He absolutely hated it, and let everyone know. There was almost a mock-cult that built up around the pigfish, with little drawings appearing just about everywhere, the name being found on ballot papers, etc. I don't think anyone even knows where the name came from, it just passed into legend.

Worst nickname I have heard of, was a friend to a friend who was called Porky Spider. This alluded on his body shape, the guy was tall and had a big belly but very long and thin legs and arms. The funny thing was that once when my friend said "Hey, do you want another beer, Porkspider?", the guy didn't react at all, my friend realised he wasn't aware of the other guys calling his that nick - they only used it when talking about him, not to him.

Same thing with a guy they used to call "60" referring to IQ60. He once asked the others why they used to call him that, and the room went totally silent.

My most interesting Nick name in school was 30 second boy, similar to El Squirto i suppose, i actually have no idea why they called me that, i figure it was something i said? *shrug*

In GameBanshee, I've never had a problem, but back in jr high- high school, I had a lot of people who hated me just as much as I hate Anomen bashers (and for those of you who don't know me, that's a LOT

)

I remember being called "Runt" for my first few years at private school, then it sort of shifted over to "Jo" (My middle name).

In my last years, I was most often called things that wouldn't be allowed here... I was not very popular, didn't care to be, and I was hated by a lot of people who I had conflict with. Those were the traumatic days of my life...

EDIT: Anomens Consort.

Sure, why not?

Thanks, Sleepers.

**hugs** I'm not as bothered by it anymore, but the memories carry on.... It's funny, though. One of those girls who called me those names is one of my closest internet friends.

Girls can be inordinately cruel sometimes, it surprises even me. Most of the things said to me in school were fairly pathetic so i hardly got insulted much

Plus i was "okay" with everyone bar 3 people who hated me, for some reason *shrug* I think it was just petty spite.

That is quite strange, do you meet each other and then decide it isn't working and go to a cyber cafe?

I am occassionally called 'Gucci' and 'Carpet' after the two locations of origin which I attributed to my famous and scandalous (in my school) green paisley jacket, both believed by different people on different occasions

. I also once told someone that I'd got it off a corpse I found floating under Donnington Bridge, but she didn't believe me...sadly, my scam about having got it from Gucci for £300 was apparently so plausible that I since over heard a (rather gullible, dimwitted and badly dressed) girl telling her friend with all sincerity that she had seen me buy it in London...it's sad that the tarts of todays world are prepared to lie to their friends to make an implausible story more plausible...even when it is a lie told to them by an older kid with a cynical attitude

Lol, did none of your oh-so-bright friends ever think up the clever idea of looking in the jacket for the Gucci label? Or was there one, and you just got it off the back of a lorry...

frogus · Post by **frogus** » Tue Aug 06, 2002 9:59 am

LMAO...this whole thing is sounding more and more ridiculous...but remember it is not my friends we are discussing, just random year nines who come up to me and poke me a few times, and then, discovering that I do not bite, ask me where I got that wierd jacket...
The honest truth is though that I told some slapper or other that I bought it in gucci, but it no longer had a label because I had torn the lining and had to have it replaced by a master tailor...I presented her with the evidence - a red lining in a green jacket, and she believed that this could not occur naturally at Gucci...
I assure you that I would call noone 'friend' who would believe me when I straightfacedly told them that a 1972 fake-velvet paisley jacket was a £300 pound italian original...
However, the people at fault cannot be entirely blamed, as it is not the first time they have found out odd things about me. Upon observing last year that the new generation found me disconcertingly abnormal, and feeling under pressure not to dissapoint them, I took the liberty of starting a rumour (which still survives) that I sleep standing up with my eyes open...
