From: Badger01@yabbs To: Dee@yabbs Subject: Nicknames... Date: Thu Jul 21 09:05:12 1994 I kind of answered this already, but what they hey... Badger is what my mother always called me as a kid, because I'm built like one and have the same protective attitude towards my extended family. EX: One of my mother's sisters, my Aunt although my family doesn't use that title, allowed her son, a year older than me at the time (I was 16) to call my mother "A fat, divorced bitch nobody loves" at Christmas eve, and only told him that he was wrong, didn't yell at him or punish him. So, at New Years (And I don't say this is right to do) I deliberately, while playing football with the family, broke his ribs. Scar-Eye is a new one, self-explanitory. Aquinas is what my High School english teacher called me, becaus eI argued with him about Thomas Aquinas' role in the Chruch (We were both nominal Catholics at the time) and it caught on at school. Everybody I went to HS with still calls me that, nobody else does. Bearclaw is after a bear's claw that we found on my property on Prudence Island in RI. I wear it on a necklace sometimes. Wolfen is due to a tatoo I have. That's all of the ones I know about, anyway. Badger01
