Foo - Some people call me...........................

Some people call me...........................by my last name, at work it seems like everybody calls me by my last name. All the other employees get called by their first name kinda odd isn't it?.

So you are known as Jammer?

Nope not at work, this name was created by a song from George Thurogood and The destroyers called "Gear Jammer" it is quite a cool song man.

You can call me Ray, and you can call me Jay...

:beer:

Didn't think a young guy would know that one eh:D .

I've been called by my last name all my life, in the group I hung out with, there was five chris' and one steve, so even our parents called us by our last names, otherwise they would get five "what's!" when they called the name chris....

my last name is the same as a popular beverage, so it's very rare I get called something other than some variation of it. Even when people call me by my first name they always include my last name after it

Your last name is beer? :beer:

That would be awesome, but no it's Coffey, pronounced coffee

heh. KOFFEE. :D

Hey Snyde, is that YOU? I call you by your first name! Remember when Marisol didn't know who I was talking about? :lol:

i prefer to be called by my last name, but i never played any team sports so it never happened.

My wife calls me Princess.

Yeah, kinda the same thing here. It sorta bugs me, but there are two other people I work with, both are my boss, that have the same first name as me, and we all get called by our last names.

Others get called by their last name, others don't.

There are those who call me ..................Tim.

I'm the third...so everyone called me by my spanish name growing up, which is hard to pronounce and spell, so I usually go by my last name.

That way introductions don't take an hour.

Some people call me Maurice (whaaa whoaa),
'Cause I speak....of the pompatice of love... (whatever that is)

'Cause I speak....of the pompatice of love... (whatever that is)

You beat me to it. Just what the hell is a pompatice? (Pompatus? Pompitus?)

Actually, the line in the song is "properties" of love!

You beat me to it. Just what the hell is a pompatice? (Pompatus? Pompitus?)


Heck I thought it was pompatice too.

.."People talk about me baybuh. Telling me I'm doing ya wrong, doooo iin ya wrooong"

I thought it was "pompousness".

Ha! The answer is revealed! (And it ain't "properties.")

Good, it's not just me then!@

Worked for me...too much reading, something about literature and old 50's bands.

Ah well, that's it for me! Off to bed!

I thought it was "properties". No more "midnight tokin'" for me then.

Sweet. Misconstrued lyrics resolved! Thanks BB

You and Siu were the closest...like brother & sister!

:lol: So true, so true!

It was all that I could do to keep from cryin'
Sometimes it seems so useless to remain
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even call me by my name.

You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings
And you don't have to call me Charlie Pride.
You don't have to call me Merle Haggard, anymore.
Even though your on my fightin' side.

CHORUS
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standin' in the rain.
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even call me by my name.

I've heard my name a few times in your phone book
I've seen it on signs where I've laid
But the only time I know, I'll hear David Allan Coe
Is when Jesus has his final judgement day.

CHORUS...

Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song
and he told me it was the perfect country and western song
I wrote him back a letter and told him it was NOT the perfect
country and western song because he hadn't said anything about
Momma, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or gettin' drunk.
Well, he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent
it to me and after reading it, I realized that my friend had written
the perfect country and western song. And I felt obliged to include it
on this album. The last verse goes like this here:

Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.
And I went to pick her up in the rain.
But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got runned over by a damned old train.

CHORUS:

So I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standin' in the rain. No,
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even call me, I wonder why you don't call me
Why don't you ever call me by my name.

John Coffey? I thought you got executed on The Green Mile.

Well if there are many people with one name then that sounds like a good idea:rolleyes: .

I've also been called a girl's name because people can't sound out words
