Geez, stop making fun of the man! I can vouch for his character. Why, when I was a young girl I used to play with Mike Hunt every single day!

[sub]Yes, that would be funnier if I had ever been a young girl.[/sub]

Hi! Since you’re local, I’ll even say that my little anecdote occured on Valentine’s Day 1990 in the El Chico restaurant on Bush River Road (not that there are any other El Chico’s, even in the state).

Personality-wise, Mike Hunt is pretty tight, but usually loosens up after a few drinks.

Jeez, you think the guy would use his middle name in the campaign. Oh well, more fun for us.

I saw something very similar around where I am about a year ago, but, dangit, I can’t remember what it was.

However, as I love to point out, a good friend of mine’s dentist is name Niel Dicker.

Hee hee!

I had to look at this thread simply because I know someone named Micheal Hunt who is wise enough to not let people call him Mike.

a couple of other interestingly named people I know:

Richard Hare.  
Andrew Peacock.

you really have to wonder where their parents’ heads were when they named them.

The sons of the Head Motor Company clan are named Michael and Richard. Michael goes by Mike, but Richard does not go by Dick…
