#5 Just Plain Don't Know 11-17-14

This 5th category will probably be the most boring because there's no interesting reasons (that I could find) for the guys having their nicknames. Or maybe a name was appointed but I don't agree that it ties in at all with that individual. For instance, let us consider a guy I know who has the nickname Block. Well, after getting to know him, I had to ask how his new name tied in with anything. He explained it was due to his large head. But he didn't have a large head. I've seen way too many guys with bigger, box shaped heads to even consider him being a valid individual for the title.

Other guys can't even give me a reason that they know of for their new names. Like Skillet (who, no does not work in the kitchen), Ranger, and fish (whose memory seemed to be ust fine).

To solve this problem of unexplained reasons, a question came to my mind after having met my last two examples. Can't guys just trade nicknames if perhaps somebody has one that would fit another to a "t"? The first one I met had the nickname Fluff. But he didn't have any body hair to speak of and he kept his head shaved completely bald. The other guy had the nickname Knuckle Head. But he was by far no kind of a dim-wit and he had so much hair all over his body to the point that if a grizzly bear were to see it all he would have thoughts on investing in Rogane. So obviously there just needs to be a time when perhaps a simple change of names is in order.

Well, due to the lack of interesting points like I mentioned earlier, I guess I'll close it here for this last 15%. And that will complete the categorizing of the top 40 nicknames that came to mind when I started this whole thing. Since then I've come across a couple more and I'm sure I'll continue to hear new ones as the time passes. I kinda wish it was a rule that we all had to go by a nickname. That way it would be easier to remember what to call everybody.

To read later about nicknames that are given to the officers, keep visiting my blog. Hope you've enjoyed everything so far.
