no really, the joke is on me!

Friday night was my first Christmas Party with my new job. It was quite an experience. And probably more so for my friend Megan who graciously accompanied me.

The highlight of the evening for me was upon being introduced, one of our less than sober accountants declaring: 'when I first heard your name, I thought it was a joke!'

Now, I've always known Graham Ripple is a unique name, but I didn't realize it was that unique! What I have known is that I've received some pretty crazy nicknames over the years. And so, I thought it only fitting to share some of my favorite nicknames (along with who originated them) which really are a joke!

~ dirty (Johnny B started it and continues to keep it alive)

- the grahambulance (Zak & the Rome crew)

- graham 'ripples of pain through your jaw' ripple (Ryan Campbell... last night)

- g-ram (far too many people, but Chris Howard stands out)

- g.rip (again, too many to name!)


Anyone have a favorite they want to share?

You're also, of course, welcome to share some of your favorite nicknames that you've received, but really, shouldn't you be posting that on your blog!?!

I used "Gripple" for the first time last week. It's the most fun to say.

What did Ryan do to deserve the opportunity to create such a nickname?

You can thank your first year of high school for Grahamster Hampster.

g-raham. i don't even know why. gr is a blend, there should be no reason to split them...the teacher in me is confused. but that's the one i'm most apt to use.
