Mine's Rik Jerome.
Nickname Jake.

I absolutely hate it when they call me Ricky.
I was always the shortest guy in my class, and hated being talked down to.

OK: I fully expect you all to start called me Ricky now. Let'r rip!
But I warn you: I have circumsized people with a blunt rusty potato peeler for less.

So I prefer Rik. Or Jake. Or Master. Or All-Powerful. Lots of choices....

But I bet you're still taller than me!!

[DocDrako]

Robert.

I prefer Doc, dude, or Drako anyways so it's all good.

I'm Roberto.

My wife calls me "Rob", and she's the only one.

Many folks (for some odd reason) transpose my name into "Robert" by dropping the "o".

Back in orientation day in High school while taking attendance, the teacher called out "Robert" instead of "Roberto".

I corrected him by politely saying "Um, excuse me, that's actually "Roberto".

To which he responded "yeah, yeah WHATEVER!"

Naturally "Robert" stuck... all through high school... much to my chagrin.

To make matters worse, I was hit with all sorts of variants of "Robert":

Rob, Robbie, Bob, Bobby and my all-time most hated version "Robert" (pronounced in the French vernacular "Ro-BAIR")

By the time graduation rolled around 4 years later, I was pretty ready to go postal.

But I bet you're still taller than me!!

Thanks, Jessica.
For making me feel a little taller....


This is a really fun thread.
I should make a list to link each forum name to a real one.

Btw: Scott Arendsen sent me some Museum cards, but my tired old brain can't find his forum name, to thank him. Put me out of my misery, guys...

[ScottA]

Take a guess

Actually, I think I'm Scott #2 after Mr. Adams.

And you're welcome Rik. Thanks for letting me know they arrived ok.

William but I prefer Bill.
