'Racer'. Back in the 70s, local motorcycle riders called me Racer. Today, they call me something different because I drive so slow on the potholed roads.
Some of the boys at the Rod and Gun tavern call me Rowdy but it's an opposite nickname like when you call a huge person Tiny. Some of the boys at the pub also call me Mother Hen because if we are going outside for a smoke I`ll bug them until they put their sweater on (or other things like that). Once I tried to get them to give me a differnt nickname lick Papa Hen. Cheers!

I was just thinking about a nickname I had when I was a young buck it was Big John. I would like to be able to say it was a nickname that the ladies gave me but it wasn't - it was a nickname my buddies gave me to make fun of my dreams. My dreams were to quite my 90 cents an hour job and go make $5.30 in a mining town. Back then I was a city boy living in the warmest part of Canada and my work history was a couple of days at a KFC and 4 months at a K-mart store as a stock boy. So my friends couldn`t understand why I would want to go live in one of the coldest parts of Canada in a city that had less then 500 people or how I could get a mining job that I had no experience at. So they started (sarcastically) calling me Big John (after the song about a miner). Eventfully I did follow my dreamers and become a hard rock miner but after 2 years I couldn't take the cold anymore and moved back `then my buddies re nicknamed me Nanook of the North. Cheers!
