All I saw was an arrow and the word "mister"(<-- mister) pointed at the name of Brandon Martus and the googley eyed guy underneath it. Also, since my first contact with Mr. Brandon Martus was on a more serious level, I am accustomed to calling him "mister". Unless he requests otherwise.

Junior year in high school... (woah, 6 years ago), someone in my class would call people 'Mr <last name>'.

One day, he couldnt remember my last name, and called me 'Mr Mister'

He called me Mr. Mister for a while, and then 'Mister' just caught on.

hense the 'mister[AT]pubarso.com' email.

Mr Martus = Mike Martus
Mr Martus = Brandon Martus

If insects were the size of horses, we could ride them, but we'd probably have to be careful.

People call me Chuck. It gets confusing...because our robot name is Chuck.

Any particular reason for calling the bot Chuck? Is it an acronym, or just a quick name somebody came up with to christen it with?

Since the subject has floated to nicknames; In college they called me the little woodsprite. I'm not sure whether it was because I was smaller than everybody else in the music department, or the from the work I did to create a new musical score for "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (the fairy dance was mine for that production. It was really fun, we used a Lydian mode to give it a mystical Tolkien flavor). I use it for my Email now so that my friends can remember it more easily.

anyone up to find the etymology of mister...I'm in school and won't be home till tonight when I am too tired to look anything up

/me wants a root canal

Mister is, to my knowledge, just a variant of the title Master, Evan.

That, in and of itself, further distances me from ever, ever needing to be called mister.

I want to know why someone would make a word spelled like mnemonic and pneumatic. IT MAKES NO SENSE. We have neutron and neutral, why not neumatic?

Blame the British fathers of our common language. Thay're nuts! Hardly anything they do makes sense. They think it's humorous to make things more difficult.
I know this because I have a father who is half Scottish/Half Engilsh. He's not happy unless he thinks he's annoying people.

For example:
Whenever he buys anything (not mail order) he insists on paying in only those golden type Sacajawea dollars. He carries bags of them around. It doesen't really annoy anyone, but we don't dare point that out to him or it will spoil his fun. Plus, if he's not bothering someone else, he'll start bothering me even more than he already does (Practical jokes are an expression of love in our family).
Never come between an old Scots/Englishman and his "fun"!
