Lemon scented handle

[cdave]

Most people who self identify as Wacky, Crazy, or god forbid Zany, are usually anything but. I'd like to put forward my case.

A Zany person may pick up some fruit at the supermarket to make a "nice pair" joke. I not only bought the pear, and bought a "good lemon" to go with it (on the small chance it might go in a drink at some point). And when I tried to play it as keeper in Fluxx, Vixie pointed out that I've brought lemons round to her parties before.

Secondly the handle was not so much chosen as thrust upon me. Physoc had too many Dave's so all of us needed a Dave name. And despite volunteering for the exec committee at the sign up booth, I was refused to be known as Keen Dave.

The infamous Spice Daves. We did have a few didn't we and they weren't the only ones to acquire interesting names. Fuzz

Crazy, Zany, Wacky ...

... those adjectives do tend to be associated with annoying people like Timmy Mallett, or that ventriloquist with the green duck, sort of thing.

I was simply called mad, as in "mad scientist". Because, well, I was.

And in a way, i still am. And not wacky or zany mad, either.

The worst kind. The kind that makes everyone around me think. The kind of mad that makes everyone around as sane as I am. :)

We used to have too many Richards at Astrosoc. So we eventually had Rik and Ricardo and Rover and Monoid. I can understand it with Daves, but having the problem with Richards was definitely taking the Mick (of which we had only one).

You let the side down with your lack of lemons at Heroquest Night #2 yesterday. You shall forever be known to me as Semi-Crazy Dave.
