what about BEE-JAY???

[BJWilliams]

Look I know you guys like pulling my chain and all but just call me BJ. not "the Beej", not "Bee-Jay", not ANYTHING except BJ. That is my name and that is all I want to be called unless youre one of the few people I know who call me by my actual first name (Yes BJ is not my actual first name)

[SuperJon]

What's the difference in BJ and BeeJay? It's just spelling it out.

[BJWilliams]

Its the principle of the thing for me. I got that name from my parents as a young child and so it means a lot. I like having one nickname (that practically is my name) and so Id just like it to simply be called BJ. Not spelled out phonetically or anything...just KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid as the saying goes)

[hurricane fan]

Would it have effected things all the way over off of English Tavern though?

I live off of English Tavern too and our entire neighborhood lost power.

Hey, we're neighbors. I'm guessing you live in Russel Springs?

maybe

You take yourself way to seriously.

My parents named me Jonathan. I introduce myself as Jonathan. Half the people here that know me call me Jon. I don't whine about it. It's life.

[ToTheLeft]

My name is Leo. People call my Fat Boy, Fatty, Kid, Leonidas, and some names I am not permitted to say on this board.

So take it easy Beej, it could be worse.

So we should call you "KISS"? I'm not doing that.

[BJWilliams]

Really only a few people know me as Benjamin (my real name) Pretty much the rest of the world knows me as BJ. I'll introduce myself as Benjamin when Im talking to most people in any sort of situation where Im not familiar with the people Im meeting.

As for KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) I used that because its an acronym that Im sure people are familiar with, I dont mean to sound like Im whining about it (if I am Im sorry) I just remebered what SJ said about my not mentioning when I want people to stop with jokes that got old and figured Id at least say something

Can we start the spying jokes again...that really makes this board happy Benjamin

[BJWilliams]

1. No
2. Stick to BJ. I use Benjamin only when introducing myself in a professional setting or to fill out forms that ask for my first name. (and as I said before, there are very few people that actually call me Benjamin in general)

[ATrain]

Common names I go by and locations where they are most commonly used:
1. ATrain (just about everywhere)
2. ATrizzle (mostly with just the LU crowd)
3. JT (Tennis teams)
4. Jonathan (Co-workers at the Hillcats, and how I introduce myself...it is my real first name, and I like it better than my middle name)
5. Adam (The Farmville crowd...my middle name)
6. Trent (Former LU Bookstore employees)
7. Beerman/Beerguy/Beerdude/"Tall, skinny kid" (People in the stands at Hillcats games when they need a bottle of beer-if you ever flag me down, remember to tip-as for the skinny in quotations, thats their description of me, not mine).

[LUconn]

2. ATrizzle (mostly with just the LU crowd)

The LU crowd sounds very hip.

[Cider Jim]

"Benjamin" = the artist formerly known as BJ.

[SuperJon]

She doesn't go psycho, but she won't acknowledge you if you call me Jon.

[JDUB]
