Vault Nicknames?

Unread postby Peepers PV » Thu Feb 26, 2004 9:45 pm

Since my first year out to Earl Bell's camp right before sophomore year, people have only known me as peepers (from SNL's Mr. Peepers). I was just wondering what kind of nicknames everyone else had...

Well that's what we called you to your face Mr. Kanclerowicz. My favorite moniker for you (especially when the Westborough crew was going against you) was Can't-clear-owicz

everybody just calls me "ash", don't know if that's a nickname or not. a few guys called me "crash" for a little while after I landed on the standards once.

ZIGGY.... We had a guy that would run well the first half of his run then he would do a quick step to the left then continue. Sort of like he was stepping around something. :dazed: Lost a lot of speed, never jumped very high either.

He was the same guy that when he broke one of my poles (he had never seen or heard one break) the pole slapped him on his arm. He literally thought he was the victim of a ride by shooting. LOL
