NICKNAMES

[JoeDirt]

Joe,
help me out with this one. PEANUT.

I think it had to do with a animal named PEANUT that got killed in his care . Not sure.

O-man I have no idea how "Peanut" got his name.

"Tater"

Tater's name started as "Mr. Potato Head" because of his resemblance to the childrens toy of the same name. Over the years it morphed into "Tater".

PHX ramp had a kid called Rain Man. Recruiting for America West was scraping the bottom of the barrel and this was what they scraped up. He seemed to be slightly retarded or autistic. If he had a pleasant personality we could have overlooked his problems but he had an explosive temper. He'd always be on his cell phone and screaming at someone. One day he was in the break room and trying to talk on his cell and was having difficulty hearing the other end. He yelled, "Hey! Can't you see that I'm trying to talk to my mom!" It was reminiscent of this scene from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.

We have a "Rain Man" here also and for about the same reason. The only difference is our Rain Man is about as easy going as they come.

[JoeDirt]

There are some where I have no idea where the names came from.

"Cat Daddy"

"Big Country"

"Bucket Head" - I have a pretty good idea where this one originated.

"Dirk Diggler"

A while back this fellow actually had a role in a porn movie. The name comes from a character in the movie "Boogie Nights".

I can help you out O-Man...I actually witnessed this one....we had an airfreight supervisor initials C.C. (now an Intl Lead) who asked an agent in freight to take an overnighting dog for a walk before we closed for the night. The agent made a makeshift leash from banding cord we used to "fix" damaged freight boxes.He preceeded to take the dog for a walk outside of the freight office/enclosed area. they no more made it out the door when said dog broke free from the POS leash and ran like a rabbit into the dark night....we looked for that dog for two weeks...some of us got OT for it...we even borrowed a trap from animal control...caught a cat and a fox....no dog...even flew the pax in to help..(.he was later given a nice monetary comp...and several first class passes on PI)....last person to ever see the dog up close was J.Morris....it growled and show it's teeth...needless to say J.M. said it ain't worth getting bit..(we were B- scale PI agents then)so he let it go on it's way, never to be seen again.The said dogs name was Peanut,thus giving C.C. his nickname.....

"Chief Wahoo" has ruffled feathers

The nickname Chief Sitting Bull won't stick

Joe Dirt petitioned the Nickname "Brutus" after the wrestler
Brutus Beefcake.









It never stuck!


Speaking of ruffled feathers.
I'm on top!
