What are yours? I have a few actually. The "Deej" in my nickname is a nickname that my family has used for years. I also have the nicknames of Turtle, Quizmaster, Captain Memory, and The King of Useless Crap. Turtle came about when I was working at a Girl Scout camp this summer. All the camp staff had to pick a nickname that everyone would identify them by, other staff and campers. I have a turtle and a turtle tattooed on my left arm, so Turtle it was. Quizmaster came about from a girl that I was on college bowl with(trivia not bowling). Captain Memory came about from a fellow member on this site, hanibal. King of Useless Crap is what the college bowl advisor and other members called me. |

Cougar... for two reasons.
On January 17, 2007, I was flying as a flight instructor with a student. Long story short, some hairy shit went down and I had to declare an emergency. Poor visibility, wicked icing, non-instrument certified aircraft, etc. Got on the ground before I really got shaken up. Canceled the rest of my students that day. The joke around the office was, "Cougar lost it, turned in his wings." Later, that summer, I had just about lived that one down when I, as a freshly single guy, managed to pull down two older single moms in a four day period. 
The nickname resurfaced and stuck ever since. |

Quoted:
It was Stu when I was in high school. Don't know why. My name is not even near that. I moved to a new school my sophomore year, and people just started calling me Stu. Where I work we call each Stu when they do or say something STUpid. What were you like in high school? |

But, I didn't do anything stupid and was friends with pretty much everyone. The dude who Christened me with that title also asked me the same day to play in his band...Knot Knormal. |
