Is he Rich like me?

I sprang full-grown from my father's head. He's always bitching about that.

Dirk. My daddy was the DEW man (his initials, and nick for his motorcycle "gang," which was really just him and my two brother-in-laws, but cute).

Yeah, amro wins that shit hands down! I loved it, I laughed, I cried, I would bow before Athena again and again.

My name is Janet, and my daddy's name was Thomas.

amro, if I told you I considered myself something of an Odysseus, would you consider forming a long, deep platonic bond with me where you offer me guidance and sometimes laugh at my misadventure?
posted by Eideteker 16 March | 09:36
Brothers-in-law?? Or the former? Hope me!

/concedes to amro
posted by tr33hggr 16 March | 09:36
Aww, omie beat me to the reveal.

Anyway, my daddy's name was the same as mine, one number removed.

Jennifer. My Daddy was a crazy sumbitch (probably borderline)who went deaf and got crazier.

I too worship amro today!

Jon. My Daddy is a home furnishings salesman who at this moment is probably hurtling down the Merritt Parkway with a Newport Light clamped between his teeth and a cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee in his cupholder, grumbling about the driver in front of him.

Is there some specific connection between Athena and The Zombies of which I am unaware?
posted by sciurus 16 March | 09:50
Yes.
posted by Eideteker 16 March | 09:57
I was assembled by a mad scientist from assorted corpse pieces and reanimated by a lighning bolt.

(Or at any rate, I wish I had been. It would have been preferable to the father I ended up with.)

My name is not Earl, but my dad's was and I am always thankful that he hated that name and didn't name me Earl, Jr. He was an industrial equiptment mechanic and a crazy old coot. I miss the old guy.

Michelle, and my daddy's is Melville, which means "from the estate of the hard worker" and couldn't be more true. He's an engineer, a guitar player, a space-science geek, a Viet Nam veteran, and funny as hell.

My father's name is Mike, but I don't know him very well. And I'm a Brigitte as you would know if you CARED enough to click on my username *sob*

I do know your name gaspode, from the saint's day thread. ; )

Pay attention now...
I am Kenneth Richard (I go by Richard)
Pa was Kenneth Walter jr.
Grandpa was Kenneth Walter Sr.
Gr Grandpa was Richard Walter.

That's all I know. Oh and thanks mom for calling me by my middle name, causing me to endure questions like, "Richard's your middle name? What's you real name then?" and having to deal with being called Kenneth by every health care agency I deal with.

Don't call me Kenneth please.

oh, my Daddy's name is Joe. I kinda wished they had named me Joe, too.
posted by jonmc 16 March | 11:32
My name is... wait for it.... Mike. My dad's Marty and was in the Navy for close to 30 years and now is the DC9 training manager for Northwest Airlines. It sucks to be in the airline industry nowadays - my mom told me yesterday that he "only" had to take a 5% paycut.

Deborah, of course. I never had a really "daddy". The man that came closest to that role is named Rob(ert). I also have (had? he and my aunt are divorced) an uncle who was very father-like and his name is Virgil.

I miss them both.

Je m'appelle Simon, son of Mark.
posted by Zozo 16 March | 12:49
I have two first names, and answer to either equally: Adrian and Indu. Indu is Sanskrit for "shining drop of moon nectar". Heh.

My pop's name is Robert. And I don't call him Dad or Pop or nuthin', I call him Robert. Always have.

But really, jonmc's my daddy.

And I'm only 3 years older than her. I was a stud in the sandbox, yo.
posted by jonmc 16 March | 13:10
My name is a secret. I like to be anon on the internets.

But I will tell you this, I love amro and the fact that so many of you fabulous nerds knew exactly what she was talking about.

My much prefered nickname is Jay, but the "real" name is Theodore, son of Theodore.
posted by moonbird 16 March | 15:34
My dad's name is Bud.
posted by mudpuppie 16 March | 16:19
Theodore? Can I call ya Ready Teddy in honor of a great song? Also, I used to have an ex-biker pot smoking buddy named Ted.
posted by jonmc 16 March | 16:32
My name's Kelly. How exciting. Daughter of John, which is even *less* exciting.
posted by different 16 March | 17:52
Puddentame. Spartacus Puddentame. Who's your daddy, now?
