I think mine is self expanitory. I have been the cook since since I was about 12. Just had a friend that had a Ukranian accent that called me Da Cook.

Robo, one of my students nicknamed me Roboteach (Robocop was a hit at the time) as I have a disability and use various mobility aids. I liked it and it has stuck. 410 is my area code ... top o the chesapeake bay . I'm Joe by the way.

Whew! That explains a lot!!! I have seen your posts a few times, and find myself trying to pronounce it outloud, rather than reading any posts! Kinda like when a word gets stuck in your head?

Thanks, Buckeytom....

I read all links, and found them fun and informative.
Oh, yeah. My real name is Philip, (duh). I shortened it for two reasons. One was because I had a 4th grade librarian that pronounced it, Fee-lip. Drove me nuts. And, the Texans with a drawl, (couldn't be me), that pronounce it Full-up. So, I went with Phil so they could call me Fee-ul.
I'm right up there with one name wonders. You know, Elvis, Einstein, Cher

Phil, next time just post this onto the existing thread so we can let multiple threads like this die.
