I took some shit as a kid for my name. But after the first few times, being called Fartin Martin didn’t really bite me too deeply. Now they’d probably call me Faglin or something equally creative. MR ---

As I post under my real name, the thought of such teasing is just bringing back _wonderful_ memories from elementary school. **Corroded** being pretty popular, but it never quite had the zing of **Four Eyed Freak Whose Mother Dresses Him**. > [@](#): > > Feel free to think up something for me though! I don’t mind a little teasing. So said **Ray-smell**. (I’m also having this weird aural image of kids dancing around and chanting “Satan! Satan! Mastur-batin!” Make of that what you will.) ---

My user name is the name I was taunted with in grade school. And Junior High. And High School. Finally, I decided that if I can’t beat 'em, join 'em. The only thing worse would be to be called **tatersnot** , I don’t know why they didn’t think of it. My first name is Tracy and I used to get called Dick Tracy a lot. I remember feeling insulted about it even before I learned that Dick was slang for penis. Hey, those of you with kids, did you do the thing where you listed every possible nickname that could go with your kids name? And then crossed off selections accordingly? I think there is even a baby-naming website that does it for you these days. ---

Hmmm… They’d probably just call me a Jew. Actually, I used to work at a movie theater and all the little kids used to call me “Miguel” because I look just like the character from the Road To El Dorado, right down to the dark roots and goatee. Of course, most of the younger ones just stared in awe after I told them that I WAS Miguel… Damn, I love kids. “I’m not a misanthrope, I love humans… It’s just that most people don’t fall into that category.” Anonymous Dick ---

I think we crossed off about 6 or 7 poerfectly good names from our list just because she kept coming up with stupid nicknames for them. Her response: “Hey, somebody has to think of these sort of things.” ---
