Your help is desperately needed
(Category: True Stories )

I've got a problem. My primary source of humor content and obscure insight is feeling slighted. You see, I have witty and clever aliases for the people in my life when I write about them in my blog. There's Lovely Wife and the boys (Bear, Bacon and Burger), Lil Bro, etc. But G is just "G". Yesterday he left a comment here and signed it "Mysterious" G and I ragged on him for it. He's not at all mysterious and I teased him that he was being a little bit self-aggrandizing taking a moniker like that.

Well, I could tell that he was hurt by my wicked barbs and that he feels slighted to have only an initial when everybody else has a nickname. He posted another comment and signed it only "G" and you can feel the disappointment dripping off of it.

People, we must keep G happy! As he supplies better than 80% of the decent content on this site his happiness is of critical import. I must come up with a nickname for G!

But I've got a problem there. The basic reason that I use "G" is because I don't have a nickname for him. The last nickname he had was G-Dog but that was back in the mid to late 90's and it is just too dated. I need something new and fresh and maybe even appropriate (although I'm not married to that last one) and I can't think of a damned thing. I know him too well and for all the years I've known him I've only thought of him by his name. Even G-Dog was an appelation given to him by my old housemate E-Dog. And this is why you must come up with a nickname for G.

I'd say that I want to go for quality over quantity but that's not strictly true. Quantity has benefits too, not the least of which is better odds on getting at least a couple humorous suggestions. Please give this subject a serious bit of thought (at least 5 to 15 seconds) and leave your suggested nicknames in the comments.

Depending on the number of responses I might do a poll for the winning nick and give away fabulous prizes*.

I thank you, the soon to be renamed G thanks you, The Snooze itself thanks you.

Update: And no sour cream references, please.

* The prizes will not be fabulous in the traditional sense of that word.

G-muse. (Seems appropriate as he is your inspiration.)

"G-muse helps le'Snooze to A-muse".

I was going to suggest G-Stringer, but I like Mike's suggestion better. Call him "Whynot".....

Does it have to start with G? If so: Giblet, Goober, and Grolsch come to mind (we all like beer, after all).

Otherwise, I'm with: Wondertwin, Doppel-G, Weeble (cause he wobbles but he won't fall down) and That Guy.

Don't have a nickname for you, but welcome to the world of MT.

I like the above mentioned G'Whiz or Moondoggie

I think Jim may have been overstating thing just a bit. I put 'Mysterious' on the first post only because I have never posted here before... marking the revelation of my actual existence for all. Since I represent an unknown entitiy and am therefore an enigma, I used mysterious.

After my first post, I didn't feel nearly as mysterious, so I simply used G. Go figure.

I don't know how comfortable I am with Jim reporting the actual statistics that so much of this content comes from the twisted annals of my tortured psyche. I get the strange feeling that this will one day be used to build a case for having me confined to an institution.

Either way... I vote for 'The Man'. It seems appropriate. :-)

G:

1) I'm not crediting you, I'm preparing my own defense. I've seen Asplundh trucks in the neighborhood and we all know that they are the eyes and ears of the vast government conspiracy.

2) Of course I'm overstating things, that's the whole point of this blog! ;-)

3) It's "annals" of your tortured psyche, not "anals". Don't worry, I fixed your post so nobody will ever know about that little Freudian slip. Except whoever reads this comment, of course.

Everybody Else:

Fantastic! Loads of great ones here. I think a poll is in order. We'll give a couple days for the stragglers to sound off (and because I don't have any time to set up a poll today).

I might have to take one of these for my own nom-de-guerre. I could really go for "Moondoggie". I have a thing for Annette Funicello and Sally Fields and that name brings it all back. That's the young Annette and Sally, of course, not the withered harridans they have become.
