I Coulda Been a Contender!
August 16th, 2010 § 9 Comments
I’ve been feeling a bit weird referring to the Kid as “the Kid,” so I figured a pseudonym was in order. Plus, last night I figured out how to do polls. The winner with 73 votes is…
Once again, the contenders were:
- Bo. Because it was one of his earliest nicknames, and it won’t be creepy if I call him that at 16. Unlike his other nickname, Bunny.
- Samson. Because he keeps thinking his hair is the source of his power.
- Nemo. Because he’s a little fish, and if you know his actual name, it totally fits.
- Jimmy. After James Lipton from Inside the Actor’s Studio. Because when he throws an occasional fit, I like to say “…And SCENE!”
And the winner, with 73 votes… NEMO! I’ll be updating my posts accordingly.
Yes, I did change the eye colour. This is MY Nemo.

BTW, you used his real name in your last post under C for craigslist
LOL. Awesome.
