Calling a fellow poster that you know on the phone

[TheGeneral+]

I call SHRINK and say, "Hi Ken, this is Pete"

Ken says "Hello General"

I get that with a lot of posters around the net I have talked too.

You guys use poster names the most when communicating?

LMAO

Funny chit

Gen, I have the same experiece ...

Lander : "Hey Ken it's Shawn"
Shrink : "Hey Lander"
Shrink on 3-way conference : "Hey baby it's 'The Shrink' give me Lenny"

...

I tried the "hey baby it's Lander - give me Lenny" & they say hold on & transfer me to CS

I think that is standard operating procedure... plus you come to know someone on a certain name, so that's what you use. My friend Fezzik... well when we talk or hang out, I call him Fezzik.

Trivia question: anyone know where the name Fezzik comes from?

Lots of people call me David Matthews... even though it's not my name... ( a combination of my first and middle names).

General: Someone who posts on my blackjack website posts as "General Pershing" ... anyone know why? (another trivia question)

Anyway, I think going by handles is a mark of respect, actually... you've earned your reputation under a certain name, so that's what peers use as a sign of respect.

David,
You mean you're not that grubby middle-aged singer?

Damn - I was just about to tell you that your last 58 songs that sounded completely identical were all "equally" good

Hi Ken,This is Oldfriend..SLAM

 

[Dante]

When I call Uncle...I have to call him Uncle B not butternuts...My wife already thinks im nuts with the Uncle B as she never knew I had a uncle and also The general thing, she thought I was going to enlist again!

she is like WTF are you talking to???

 

[lander]

When I call Butternutts his wife usually answers and I have to ask for "my bitch"

Yes...

They also laugh at my voice..
