To try to ease the tensions on politics and people who seem to have views different from most of us, I thought it would be kinda sweet to see what people had for nicknames in their youth. NOT MEAN SPIRITED BULLING NAMES PLEASE
To start it off, they called me Mushroom man. Why you ask? Simple, since I am such a fun guy (fungi) 
You are such a diplomat Phil.
That is why we love you!
wokka was my school nickname, has stuck with me
Lone Wolf was always my nick name and has followed me to this day!
It was taken when I first registered for TDS that is why I went with Macaws
HUH????!!!!!!
Damn keyboard. The "K" is too close to the "H". Change is made - maybe better to dealete the thread and start over
When I was in seventh grade my math teacher gave me the nickname of O.J. (before he went all stabby) because we had the same last name.
Later on, in high school, one day I had a pair of bib overalls on and someone called me "John Boy Walton". That got shortened to Walt.
Once I started working in the State Pen, my block Sergeant called me CJ7 because of my first two initials and the number of letters in my last name. That got shortened to Jeep. As I went up through the ranks, so did my nickname, Sgt. Jeep, Lt.Jeep, and finally, Captain Jeep.
The closest I have had to a nick name that has stuck is just Ed
for a short time when I was involved in the junior chamber of commerce (Jaycees) they called me "Fast Eddie" because I was a fast talker and good at hustling donations, but that name never really stuck (and I hate "Eddie") - - always reminded me of Eddie Haskell from leave it to beaver 
So - just call me Ed 
At least it wasn't Cousin Eddie 
Fast Eddie Felson was the character in the movie The Hustler played by Paul Newman. He played pool against Minnesota Fats, who was played by Jackie Gleason. A couple of great nick names for guys that played pool.
Family used to call me the professor (before Gilligans Island). Grades and was always making/modifying stuff..No wonder I wound up with a Sling!
I was always running with my buddy Dan everyone called us Cheech and Chong I still have no Idea why

No idea at all...
Same with Slopoke here. Had that name since I got out of the Military back in the 90's.
