Can Hancock Handle the John Thomas? Monday 20th GT

What does that even mean? lol Oh Like Thomas to Tom?

Yeah, I think that's the term, Thomas, Tom, Tommy. John, Johnny, Jack, Jacky... More familiar variations. Darren is similar. I'm serious, before she ever told me that I remember wishing I had a name that could be reconstructed like Johnny or Jacky lol. My name seemed dull, formal. Darren is a formal name, that's it, Darren

Jacky longer than Jack so I wouldn't count that one. Fredrick and Fred. William Bill, Richard Dick. Ronald Ron. Donald Don. Ebenezer Ebbie. lol

Don't forget Philip-Phil. Double LL Phillip just means you stutter. I have a confused colleague, Fil, short for Filmore.
I begged my folks to change my name to Rocky when I was 8. Nothing doing. They didn't buy in. Not that I need to clear the air with anyone here, but just in case, this was long, long before Rocky Balboa. Duh.

I just took a cute High School girl in a short pink tennis skirt to play tennis. I said I was on my High School tennis team. She says, "Oh cool". Then I tried to think of a crazy number about how long ago it was and I said probably 20 years before you were even Born. She laughed. After I dropped her off I did the math and she was probably born in 2009 AFTER Obama was elected POTUS. I was on the tennis team in 1985 TWENTY FOUR years before she was born!

Beach Boys are my all time least fav Band and it isn't even close. I am sure they are all nice guys but just that sound they put out. Every song sounds identical to me other than the lyrics.

With Donavon going to the IL M’s decide to bring up a career .192 hitter in some Wilson guy.
Perfect time to bring up Colt Emerson. This organization is so dumb.

[desbcoach]

The answer is yes but will he is a different question

Colt has a wrist injury. That is why he didn't play yesterday. Bad timing.

I always wondered how did they get Chuck out of Charlie and Dick out of Richard.

Remember Peppermint Patty always called Charlie Brown Chuck. I never got it until years later.. That one is actually a 3 phase evolution. from Charles to Charlie to Chuck.

What is your full given name? Roderick?

Yes, don't know why they chose that other than my mother had ancestors from Cornwall on her father's side. The only other Rodericks i have encountered in my life were black which is also odd.

It's not necessarily just shorter, it's more familiar, more endearing.
