robertmc is on a distinguished road
My nickname is "rasta" to some of my friends and I used to use it as my online name for a while before people started getting the wrong idea. In 1971, I decided I was going to live off the land in the hills of Jamaica. Got the dreads and and the surfer tan and all that. Ending up getting deported and when I came back I got rid of the dreads and the only way to do that is shaving your head. Which my friends thought was the funniest thing in the world hence the nickname.
Which reminds me of a joke;
Jimmy Carter was overheard complaining to one of his friends. "I used to be a nuclear engineer-you'd think people would call me doctor, I used to be President of the United States-you'd think people would call me Mr. President, I won the Nobel Prize-you'd think people would call me Mr. Nobel Prize but nooooooooooo, you f**k one goat...
