Is it time for us all to use our real names on Big Pumpkins?Seems to me that it would simplify a great many things.What's everyone think?Scott Jeremy Henkin.

Johnston, R.I.

I like it the way it is.............

Yes I agree Scott, and Ill start first.

My name is Eddy Zgjhdgfgreldewqsfghy..

they call me the IceMan and Im from Canada, sometimes WIZ and BIZ have trouble spelling my last name because it has letters in it that is 4 miles and 3/4 long.

Also, Wiz and Biz Idolize me and want to be like me, really, who can really blame them? They try every year to scheme and try to grow bigger pumpkins then I do, but we all know the truth here in Pumpkin land that will never happen only unless I let them beat me cause I feel sorry for them.
I just decided the other day I might let the two brothers hold all my pumpkin trophys, but only after they wash their greasy hands but can only hold them for a few split seconds.

Love, Iceman.

All you have to do is ask! If someone won't give you their name after that, it would be just rude, then I'd wonder.

I think I understand you pro nick name people. This is our FUN thing and you feel names are a part of it.this is like a gang, everyone used nicknames.as to having to ask for someones real name seems odd to me.I have always introduced myself out of politeness so people don't have to ask.don't get me wrong their are several people who like them who I respect very much and I'm sure you know who you are.I have had several AKA's that are fun. Maybe we could list both like some folks do now. As for getting HH growers to participate I don't think a silly nick name helps a thing. With real names comes a little more thought when people communicate with each other and if a HH is on line more people will listen with more respect.They worked hard for it and deserve it.It's fine with me anyway individuals would like to be addressed. Thanks everyone who responded. Very interesting!Sledgehammer

Come on Judy! You are litteraly the first person I talked to BP and you were the first person that I ever got a bubble from.

Mom, Dad and my boss are the only ones who call me Jeff. And it always sounds funny. Jeff who? All my friends call me Shaz or Shazzy, or ShazzyShaz, Shazzy Shananova,, Shazaroo, Shazam, or Beans. Everyone at work calls me Pumpkin. I figure if someone wants to know my real name than they can just ask me. If not, Shazzy it is.

You guys already know my name, but I dont think you know that much about me really, or about my hobbies...

On my free time during the winter cold months I like to go over to Shazzy's house to do some crocheting and make alot of wonderful things,you name it, shaz or I can make it.
I also like to nit sweaters, socks and also ear muffs while shazzy sits by and tells me stories of his past Dart Championships he won, hes ranked number 2 in his age group and I could be more proud to call him my old friend.

Besides Hanging out with Shazzy, I also like to play bingo 4 times a week or untill I have zero money, not even for food,but sometimes I do get lucky and if I hit the cover all at the end of the night playin Bingo, I will take that money and go find Shazzy and we will drink untill we no longer know who we are, or even where we are until we wake up about 19 hrs later.

Im also president of our local weight watchers club, and my favorite color is a hint of skyblue pink with just a tad of yellow showing through.

2/14/2012 5:49:20 PM

Wayne,
Since you mentioned the Quilt, I talked to Shazz, we are thinking about coming to the siminar as long as my 1976 Pinto Wagon with the fake laminated wood on both sides just stay on the car, we figured if we keep the speed limit to roughly 15 to 20 miles an hour on I-70 the entire way to KY, that we shouldnt have a problem making it there.

We plan on leaving 3 weeks early and bringing 4 cases of oil with us just incase we have car troubles, cause lately I been having alot of black and gray smoke coming out of the exaust to where I cant see any cars behind me.

see you there!

One other thing against you Brooks....You can't get there(KY) from here on I-70.
