For the past few months Ive been called Two-Tone by almost anyone I meet or close friends. Because of my half half hair obviously.
Before that it was just cammy, short for carmen.

Me and my friends had this notebook of weird creatures and characters in 8th grade. "Deranged Nick Cofphee" was one I drew. He had bloodshot eyes and a Mr. Coffee maker for a hand.

I have been called Bugga for like 8 years due to my incessant bugging of other riders about information when I first started riding. I have been riding under Bugga ever since.

I don't really have a specific nickname, but I've been referred to as 'girl with the samosas', rob and lasagna (the latter two for no apparent reason).

Ah! I am in love with all these little doo-deeleys about your nicknames. I love hearing about nicknames!

Mine, Ducky, came from myself at first. I love rubber ducks sew sew very much. And I moved somewhere and started meeting people off of myspace...default name "Ducky" and everyone called me Ducky...or Emily(names not Em but I liked it). After a while it grew on me. I am everything a rubber duck should be...Im fun and cute(now im just being into myself:)) and I love hangin out in the water...specialy the bathroom area..Oh how I love tubs!!!! And just like a rubber duck i tend to annoy after a wee bit of talking. ah well.

Had to have a tire changed in California.

Good service. The guy was Hispanic. I could not understand a word he said.

He asked me, "You Pakistan?"

I just looked at him. He asked, "Pakistan?"

Packers fan. I had Wisconsin plates. Was I a Packers fan?

My nick is Stan, short for the Pakii name. "How you doing, thank you very much."

I am anglo, I just laugh about Stan.

mine came from way back in the day (1999) when i lived in van nuys, ca. when i first moved from idaho to los angeles and didn't know shit about anything, i became really good friends with this couple called Sid and Barbie. We got along really well, and i got an apartment and let them move in, with the promise they would get jobs and help me out. anyways, after 3 months and many many ridiculous parties, they still hadn't gotten jobs and i finally lost it and kicked them out. they came back a week later and broke into my apartment and stole everything i had, including my checkbook! they ended up writing a bunch of bad checks and i couldn't pay rent, so i got evicted.

i left los angeles for a few months after that, feeling really angry about life, and the ideals of "punk rock" and (what my conception of which was at the time) anarchy. so like i said i was really angry a lot of the time about how no one really cared about their ideals and they were all just a bunch of fashion punks. and i drank a LOT. so my name came mostly from being angry and being drunk (the UK english slang for drunk = pist).

it's kinda ironic nowadays, as im an extremely nice/laid back guy, and you REALLY have to push my buttons to piss me off. it's generally pretty hard to make me mad. also, im not nearly as bad of a drunk as i used to be. i would like to have a new name honestly, but at this point everyone knows me by it, so it's kinda hard to escape :)

Poe Boy Roy -- cuz I used to walk around with this torn up raggedy old book of Edgar Allen Poe stories. Only a poor boy would own such a ratted out book. So in a play on words and my name, Poe Boy Roy was born.

Wut -- because I did a lot of fucked up shit and the first words out of people's mouths when they saw me was "What the fuck?" Like the time a security guard (off duty) was called to an apartment complex we were partying at because someone FIVE MILES down the road complained about the noise. Well, this party spanned 3 apartments. I was drinking beeer all night and desperately had to piss. So I was going from apartment to apartment to try and find a bathroom that wasn't occupied. Well, apparently, he went into the first apt while I was coming out of the last. I had to go so bad, I just went to the veranda (2nd floor) and started pissing. he comes out and screams "What the fuck!?!" Seems, if I had looked down, I'd have seen I was pissing in his convertible parked below. . .

Mick -- named after Micheal J. "Crocodile" Dundee. Who was popular when I was using my Australian gig to hitch. Told people my name was "Mick", LOL.
