pool nicknames...

i'll start. my nickname is "eyes". this name was given to me because ocassionally when i sight down my cue getting ready to shoot my eyes twitch back and forth real fast for a brief second. hence the avatar with the twitching eye.
 
I am not sure if it is a nick name but the last tourney I was in lots of people were chanting "you suck, you suck, you suck" when I was done :eek:

Stretch

When I first started playing APA (some 10+ years ago) I had a very awkward stance. My left arm (I'm right handed) was no where near straight so when I got over a shot, I my head was way too close to the cue ball and everything was way out of line. Rather than wasting time outs, my team mates would simply yell out "come on Stretch, lets go, you can make it Stretch" thus reminding me to get up and re set up with my left armed stretched out.

My pool skills have since improved a little, and no one has called me stretch in a long time. But it was a cool nick name while it lasted.
 
Hurricane

My good friend Bigskyjake is called The Hurricane by his pals cause he kinda looks like Tony Elin and shoots like him too. Don:cool:

Well, in college they used to call me Smokehouse.

Because of all my swinging meat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just kidding...some of my nicknames would include

Pearl (due to my crying about how badly I play)
Fish (for obvious reasons)
Mr. I Need the Nuts (only way I can win)
 
Lenny the Lock because i am a lock artist,lol,and also Fast Lenny because i used to drag/street race cars and it fits into pool because sometimes i get going to fast and trip over my own feet.:D
 
I've been called:

The Fox
The MagicBoy
Royes
Chicken

And the last one was D'Fish, which all Filipinos called me in Manila.

Actually, at One Side, the action place in Manila, they print a sign with your name on, and put it on the scoreboard so people easily can see who's playing and what the score is. They printed Roy D'Fish on my sign after the first 2 days, so I guess that's my name now :D

My old road partner, Gary Spaeth (RIP) was known to his buddies as Spud. Which was derived from "Potato Head", which Joey Spaeth (RIP), his dad had nicknamed him.

just more hot air!

Mine is Diamond Dave. It had to do with a raffle at the bar where one of the prizes was a diamond. I got a bunch of crap that I was going to win the diamond and have to propose to my girlfriend. A guy started calling me Diamond Dave and it just stuck after that. Luckily, I did not win the diamond though. :D
 
Old Fart

Damn,somebody called me an "old fart" last night. Hope it doesn't stick! Don:cool:
