A few months ago I got a call from a former team mate. I hadn't spoken to the guy in more than 12 years. Out of the blue, without even introducing himself first, he started to sing "the bare necessities" (see embedded video below).

Nobody had called me Baloo since I last saw him so it was pretty easy to figure out who this was. And although I'm glad this nickname didn't follow me ever after, at that very moment, while holding the phone, I must admit it felt pretty good.

Re: People call me

Well, people call me the Beachmaster from that day back in... oh I can't remember when, it looks like I've always been called that. Always funny to see how people are surprised when they see me play for the first time (I am really far from being a master). My nickname comes from a joke with an old friend, but contrary to you it sticked to me. I kind of like it though...

Re: People call me

I'm with Greg on this one... I had some nicknames that didn´t stick... and I am glad. But Wojtek is difficult enough so most just stick to it if they can remember it hehe.
