Say

[SuaSponte]

I have three nephews, Buzz, Hounddog, and Opie, and two nieces, Binky and Niece-to-be-Nickamed-Later. I was hanging out with them this weekend, and they decided to nickname me Baldy. Fine, no problem. Not an issue. (even though “Balding” would have been more appropriate).

However, Buzz insisted on calling me simply Baldy, without the honorific of “Uncle”. This persisted until I pile-drived him.
I believe that my pile-drive was justified. We must instil respect amongst the next generation, don’t we?

The title was supposed to read “Say ‘uncle’, dammit!”

I’m not a Bible scholar. I’m not even a Christian. But that story reminded me of 2Kings:

2:23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, **Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. [/b[

2:24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

2:25 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.

IIRC, “tare” means that the bears killed the 42 “little children”. Tell that story to Buzz, and look at him menacingly.

Johhny, that is PERFECT!!! Buzz and his parents are very religious, and he’s still young enough that this will freak him out.

Thanks,

Hmmmm, Buzz, Hounddog, Opie, and Binky. Would you perchance be from the South? I see a Foxworthy redneck joke here…

As a side note, you’ll notice that god didn’t have any problem with Elisha committing assault with deadly bears, murder, etc. So if Buzz gives you any guff about “Thou shalt not kill” and all that, tell him that god says it’s okay.

Nope, we’s from the NorthEast. “Buzz” is actually a lame nickname derived from his long-time haircut and love of Toy Story. I was oversensitive when nicknaming him, as he suffers from a variety of learning disabilities, etc., and I didn’t want to name him anything that even hinted at degrading him.
“Hounddog” refers to Paul’s amazing salivia production as an infant. I also figure that, with that nickname, he will be the coolest first-grader ever, will play the tenor sax, etc.
“Opie” cause David is a spitting image of a young Ron Howard.
“Binky” cause Elise refuses to renege her pacifier.
“Niece to be nicknamed later” 'cause she’s too young to have much of a personality - though I’m leaning towards naming her after a Stoic, as she never cries, even when I use her as a football. Hmm, maybe after a football player …
