Miss Masterlink: Nickname for our master of chains (she had it as her title on here for a little while)

Welda boy/The little welder boy: One of our rookies who already possesses great skill welding.

Milhouse: I'm not even sure. I guess some people just thought he looked like milhouse from the simpsons. Working on actually using his real name instead though.

Haha, mine is a self-proclaimed title, nobody actually calls me that

Very few people call Milhouse by his real name. He's even in my phone as Milhouse, and I've gone to school with him since elementary school.

There are also a few other odd ones from our team...

Newbie - He's a senior now, but he was the only rookie from his rookie year that was actually active on the team. Nobody who's younger than him really knows him as Newbie, but a lot of the alumni do.

Millory - Well, her real name is Mallory. Her specialty from freshman year has been using our mill, and somebody made the connection one day.

Kallory - What happens when someone tries to say "Kara and Mallory" too fast. Mallory and I are the team captains this year, so we're often referred to as a pair. In emails, we're often "K&M"

Wrenchie - (I THINK this is how the story goes) Last year, one of our rookies was holding the doors open for someone carrying in donated items from GM. Someone had opened one of the boxes and pulled out a giant wrench, which, from quite a distance away in the dark, looked like a gun, so she flipped out a little bit. She was known as Wrenchie for the season (unfortunately, she's not with us any more due to a commitment to Tae Kwon Do)

I don't really have a nickname any more. It used to be "Karibou," but after using it for three years, it's gotten old. I really wish I had one, though...
