I worked on a trading floor for years. Most of the traders had nicknames from their trading badges. BEL was called bells. My name is ron, so they called me 'MO. It just turned in "Moeron" it stuck. I was trading in the OXY crowd. So I said that I was an "Oxymoron"

Lame, Lame , Lame.

Mine is from the movie "Club Dread". My sig. quote is from one of the songs in the movie. Besides being one of my all time favorite horror movies, Bill Paxton does a great job as a Buffett-esqe resort host. This is a must see for all Parrotheads!

Got the nickname "Doc" or "The Doctor" in high school after the great Julius Erving (I am neither Afro American nor 6 foot 7 inches tall and can't leap from the free throw line and dunk a basketball. For a slow white boy though I did have better than average leaping ability.) Now all I have is better than average Corona drinking ability, hence the combo of the Doctor and Corona!

According to the website they've decided to "disband" and played some farewell shows in December 2006.

My favorite doggie ever (who is also on the chair at the end of my bed right now with his girlfriend Ivy) is a chihuahua named Mojo. I'm his mama. That's all there is to it.

Well... that would be the song School Boy Heart ... on the Bananna Wind CD.

<SNIP> I suppose the need to focus never arose
So something like a Swiss Army knife, that's my life
</SNIP>

I've done a lot of different things in my life - and coincidentally I've walked (or crawled) through most of it with a swiss army knife in my pocket.

Thanks for askin!

Thanks for bringing this back (and now I know what smlchng means.

) Mine has nothing to do with Buffett and everything to do with my time working as a concessionaire at a sideshow. My two nicknames were Popcorn Jack and The Flossmaster (and extra credit if anyone can figure out where that comes from.

)
