    What is your nick name and how did you get it?

    James Aaron Shadle is

    aka Darth Vader :
    Mike B from Oklahoma (MikeBinOK) uses Canon gear and was asked a question about Nikon. Frankly, I was one of the only Nikon users at the time. As you know Canon's long lenses are white, Nikon's are Black or "dark"
    Mike suggested to the inquisitor that they should ask "Darth Vader, Lord of the Dark Side", me!
    It stuck.

    aka Froggie:
    I am a glass half full kinda guy and when I am asked "how are you?", I often answer, "Fine as frog hair" or "Fine as frog hair split three ways"
    Artie dubbed me Froggie as a result.

    aka CSO: Chief Spoonbill Officer, well I am the "Spoonbill Guy" and Ed Prete dubbed me CSO.

    Those are the nice ones, I will stop there.

    Now share yours!

    Harold Davis aka "H" probably for one of two reasons: people dont like to say Harold or are just too dang lazy to say Harold!! and i've always been on the "Darkside" too! funny how i was always getting teased about it a year ago and noone ever says a thing now!!

    Freak Show -- Well, I'm kinda freaky ;) I can clap with one hand, and do lots of other strange things with my joints, make oodles of noises (comes in handy for dog photos), and I've done some memory demonstrations A La Harry Lorrane, which tends to freak people out.

    Oh, and Artie christened me "Farmer Jim" way back when because I had a series of images with large crops . . . RIM SHOT!

    Two nicknames...

    Penguin - While playing Little League and running to first base, somebody from the stands shouted 'he runs
    like a penguin.'

    Jclguru - Been a jcl programmer on the mainframes for 20 years. If there's a way to do it in jcl, I'll figure it out.

    Since then I've used it in my CB handle. BooBear. Then when I got email I was boobear9358 so that's what my husband calls me now, or Boo.
