Nicknames

[Ryan Dognaux]

Well my real name is Ryan... but anyways part of my C.D. name is "Raul".. well that's what everyone calls me @ robotics. Anyways, a few people on my team were making up spanish nicknames for everyone during the 2002 kickoff... and mine just stuck I guess.

So if you see me you can use Raul or Ryan, either works.

[Ash]

"Fuzzy"... "He isn't doing any work"... "Mac Daddy C"... "Christophe"... "Bum"... and last, but not least, "Johnny Schlong" (if you knew my last name, it would make sense)...

-Ash

[Lauren]

A lot of people at robotics call me L-A-Kelly or L-A because LAKelly is what i have to use to log into the network on the computers at school. So, it has just kind of stuck with me now.

[Ben Mitchell]

Some members of my team call me "Excel Man"

<---Uses Excel to make strategy databases.

[Devin L.]

lol mike no one calls u "number two" except andy

[Kristina]

For some reason our advisor decided to set up a monarchy and i was dubbed Queen since I was in charge of everything that was non-technical.

However, the nickname that stuck with me most was "AK"...which in polite terms stands for "Butt Kicker"...you should be able to figure that out. It was a very short and simple nickname that was quite fitting.

[Alex Forest]

Oh ... and ask another member of my team about the title "Madhatter"

Gee. I wonder who gave me that one. maybe people have seen the picture....MOE hat with Diablo wig on top, plus Daisy headband around it.... Just wait til this year...Ive TOPPED that one...hehehe

[Elgin Clock]

Nicknames huh.... I don't think so or at least none I can say in public, But I do hear the statement "Don't touch anything" alot, maybe that's my nickname.

Of course, a fellow CD Poster on another team had reffered to me as "The Clock" to another CD poster friend of mine so I guess I can use that one.

[George1902]

nicknames? umm... well, in high school whenever my best friend and i would see eachother i'd yell accross the courtyard, "Hey! Redneck!" and he'd yell back, "Hey! Fat Man!" so i guess that could count...

oh, and Carolyn calls me Ringo. and if you don't know why, come in the tigerbolt chat sometime and ask me... =-]

[Bill Gold]

I call Jim (FotoPlasma) "tard," "moron," "hippie," and other assorted names. I guess those could count as nicknames . He replies with just as interesting nicknames.

[Kiwi_queen]

Well, the big nickname for me is "Button Queen". Why? well it's because I actually enjoy making buttons...something noone else on my team could believe. so now I'm in charge of makin the buttons...and am the ultimate Button Queen. ;o)

Well, 190 actually has an official policy of nicknaming team members. Every Saturday night during the build season, and after every competition, we play a rousing game of Crud. However, everyone playing must be called by their "Crud name," instead of their real name. If someone present doesn't have a Crud name, a quorum of the named players will come up with one for them (although the final decision rests with the one we call Black Hole).

Crud names traditionally are no more than two syllables long, are somewhat demeaning, and have some connection to a person's personality, appearance, or past behavior. For example, my Crud name is "Luzer." I'll leave it up to the other members of 190 who post here to reveal theirs.

My old team (992) had nicknames as well that went on the back of our t-shirts, but they were an optional thing (although a majority of the team did chose to have a nickname). Last year, I was "The Brain" (and yes, my VP was "Pinky").

[KyleGilbert45]

Some how i picked up the nickname Papa Razzi this year...lol... probably becuase i've always got my camcorder or digital camera on me...
Another "nickname" i usually go by is... "Twin" or "Gilbert" for all those fools that cant tell Clark and I apart..

[Amanda Morrison]

Back in high school, I was 'Anoda', because yes, even back in 6th grade, apparently I couldn't spell my own name. That stuck for.. wow, eight years now. Even now when people say 'hey Noda' or 'Anoda', I turn around.

Now, I give out the nicknames. One of my favorite nicknames is 'Rabbit'- known on Delphi here as josh_johnson. He's got to be about 6' and 125 lbs, making him one of the skinniest people I know. The first time he came with the team to eat dinner, he only had a leaf of lettuce... so I coined 'Rabbit' and the name stuck.

[Alaina]

I don't really have a nickname (though I'd like one). I was called "Sunny" once because I was the only one that didn't mind being outside...in the sun...
