Left home for basic training/AIT at Ft. Knox 43 years ago today. Gawd, I'm old.

I'm 31 and had to call the cops (twice) for a noise complaint last Thursday night for a HS graduation party directly behind me, where it was obvious no parents weren't home.

It wouldn't have been a big deal if it was on a Thursday and my backyard wasn't only 20' wide. They were going strong for 6 hours and cops didn't show up till 1.5hr after I called. Wife and I had to work the next day, and got very little sleep.

You are not old. You are just a dick that forgot at what it was like to have a youth...... should have picked up your skirt knocked on the door and explained.... no sympathy.

I was only around 22 when I did a similar thing to my brother. Parents were gone, it had been 3 nights straight, I'd had enough. Some of them were still going when I'd leave for work in the morning.

I used to work with a guy named Richard Queen. He told everyone to call him "Dick for short." Anytime that I had to page him, I always paged "Dick for short."

Yeah you learn at a young age to embrace all of your nicknames, so I was called Dick by almost everyone in college and into my 1st jobs. Just easier for people to get it out of their systems lol. Plus it obviously makes it easier/funnier to get a hold of someone's attention when addressing them by Dick.

My last name is Hole. I had an uncle Harold. And a great uncle Gaylord. When we were picking names for our 2 girls , we got one of those baby books and tore out all the pages for A, B, C, S. I thought Anthony Scott Steven would be good for a boy. My middle initial is A, which gets a lot of giggles. I always thought I should get one of those mail in doctor diplomas. Then I could be Doctor A Hole. "Paging Dr. A Hole". Great name for a proctologist.

I was also a fighter pilot in the Navy. My first callsign was Butt. When I completed training in the Hornet, I went straight on cruise on the USS America (CV-66). Strangely enough, there was another F-18 pilot with a last name of Hohl and his callsign was Butt as well. Well, CAG told me we couldn't have two buttholes in the same Airwing, so I needed a new callsign. You don't get to pick your own callsign, so that started the callsign lottery where we put up all the suggested callsigns on the white board in the ready room. Stinkin', Smokin', and many others were proposed. Generally, whichever one I disliked the most was considered a front runner, but I kept my poker face. After a few days, my Skipper who was a good ole boy from Georgia, walked into the ready room, pondered the proposed callsigns and then declared that I would be Corn Hole. Seemed ok to me. I didn't know that corn hole was a southern colloquialism for being done up the butt, though. The callsign stuck and I was Corn for 18 years. I still work with a lot of my squadron mates now and they all call me Corn. If my wife wants to get my attention, she calls me Corn.

Had I been in the Air Force, I would have been Major A. Hole.

When I was a test pilot, they painted my name and callsign on the side of one of the F-18s. This was normal ops. But we always had VIPs and TV shows rolling through and the maintenance guys would always put them in or in front of side number 107, which had Corn Hole on the side of it. One TV show noticed it and moved to the rear of the aircraft for their interview.

When I was still Butt, I roomed with an A-6 pilot who was transitioning to the Hornet. His last name was Packer, callsign Fudge. They put our nameplates on our BOQ room as Butt Hole and Fudge Packer. He went on to be a Blue Angel and they did NOT paint Fudge on the side of his jet.

hahaha corn18 thank you for sharing that. Gave me a good chuckle this morning. I just get called variations of Dick, Dickel (try the whiskey), Dickie, Big Dick, Lil Dick, etc.
It's easier to just answer to them all and not worry about it. My friends enjoy it, and especially love yelling it in public to get my attention.

Heard you missed me, I'm back.

I really feel sorry for the torture that former NASCAR driver Dick Trickle must have had to endure, and wonder if it wasn't one of the reasons why he decided to punch out of his Earthly existence?????

I honestly went back and forth with it. He got called Dick Queen for sure, but over the PA it was just funnier as everyone had heard him say it in person.

I was thinking of you yesterday and meant to check on you, but got bombarded in the afternoon. How was Girly Beach Week?

Had an employee when working for the big blue death star named Nicholous Mann, his peers referred to him as Dickless Mann. In my position, I was not able to join the fun.

I worked for Heilig Meyers for years and used to get press box seat for races. That poor bastard. Not only did he have the trophy of names to heckle, I never saw him cross a finish line. We eventually got to where we didn't even refer to it as a race; we "went to watch Trickle wreck" or "counted the laps until Dick was done."

We actually had the best weather in the 11 years we are going. Was on the beach every day. It only rained at night. And of course, I love the ride down. Nothing like a 2 hour drive on an open road. Just wish it had twisties. And I beat my nav by 20 minutes. It's a game I play. In Mexico.

The boys in blue were out in force on the way down. Which brings me to a story that belongs in the Karma thread.

I'm on my way down, on a two lane portion of the roadway. And of course, my biggest pet peeve are the people that have to drive side by side and hold up the entire roadway. Up to this point I have been sailing in the right lane, which is completely clear and I do keep right except to pass. I choose left. There is one car between me and the slowpoke (maybe 55 in a 65). I'm keeping my distance, as the car ahead is riding slowpoke's ass. I see a Mazda SUV come barreling up behind me, right on my tail. I'm still keeping my distance but kick it a bit to get away from tailgater. She doesn't take the hint. All of a sudden, slowpoke nails her brakes and comes to a COMPLETE FUCKING STOP in the left lane. I nail my brakes and go over to the left shoulder to avoid being rear ended by the tailgating Mazda because I know my brakes are better than hers. She does the same but winds up in the grass in the center median. I so wished it was muddy so she would get stuck. I laughed an moved on. Not sure if slowpoke had some medical issue, or was just being a dick to get the guy behind off her ass. Anyway, a little down the road, Mazda flies past me giving me evil eyes. I just smile.

Have I mentioned the boys in blue were out in force? A few miles later, guess who is pulled over. Yes, the Mazda. I laughed, and laughed.

That's when I was there. Started 5/5/95 and was there until the CEO gave himself a fat bonus, filed bankruptcy, then retired. I was a little miffed. I was their youngest inductee into the management training program.
