Names You've Been Called

[Arnie]

Nearly 4 years SLY and it finally happened...

A guy in a bar thought I was a skin head...and got even more ingorant after that.  He went from that extreme to insulting black people.  I let him know he better just be quiet because not only am I not a skin head...my fiancee is black and before it escalated the bartender had him removed...

I've been compared to Ed Norton and the guy who played Red Foreman on That 70s Show -_- Not sure where that one came from.  The most annoying reaction, though, is when people ask if I'm an aryan.  I mean come on, people... just because I'm under 20 and shave my head does not mean I'm a racist -_-

Oh I've been called "Vinyard" * Ed Norton played the role * from American History X a number of times.....I think the stimga that a caucasian male who shave's his head is branded a racist is diminishing with the coming of times.

But I've been known to be wrong.

I can't believe this is still happening at all.  In nine years, not once have I ever gotten a comment like that, and the look has become so common since then, at least in these parts, I don't think most people even think to associate it with racism.

I get baldy most of the time and because my last name is Baldwin, I got baldy even before I went sly.  My younger brother gets baldy alot, he does not shave his head, but he should he has thinner hair than I do.  Dont really care what people think of me, or what they call me I am very happy with how I look and I will not change that for anyone.  I do have a colleague at work who calls me guapo, i like that.

The Bar I bounced at was 20 minutes away from San Francisco so we had all walks of life come in, I left because we where getting a pandemic of Bikers and even H.A.'s ( Hells Angels ) Tongans who where absolutely out of control while intoxicated, the wannabe gang bangerswho  always cracked me up and we even a couple of alleged A.B. ( Aryan's ) who just factored in that even though I had a shaved head that I was someone who had there repulsive beliefs and doctrine but needless to say one of the many things I got called while working at that establishment was "Vinyard"

I honestly can't remember the last time anyone commented in any derogatory fashion about my dome, I only get compliments and, of course, studied silence from She Who Must Be Obeyed.  I get a whole lot more about the full beard, maybe it's the time of year and the fact it's white/gray.  Even those are pretty much neutral or jest, the typical Santa Claus sort of thing.  And, a couple of my wife's friends at holiday gatherings have fondled the beard and complimented the look--and that's fun too if she's standing nearby. 

[LukeSLYwalker]

I think for me, it's because I sometimes have mean or intimidating facial expressions without meaning to.  I've had people asking me if I was angry about something when I was perfectly fine my whole life.  I guess some people assume I'm mean-spirited.

With the 'stache I am sporting, I got Monopoly Man from a friend.  We thought it was really funny. 

[DesmondWolfe]

Went to The Smashing Pumpkins concert a month ago and when the show ended a drunk guy called me out to say he was glad I played Zero. lol

[KentBaldGuy]

The name "baldie" was yelled to me across the street by a group of teenagers yesterday. They thought they were insulting me; I took it as a compliment on my best feature.....

[Rev. Cleanhead]

Since I bought my first motorcycle a few years ago some of my buddies started calling me "Chrome Dome".  Nothing real original.

My wife pointed out that I would look like Shrek if I painted my head green, multiple people have called me "Mr. Clean", and I've been told I look like Brian Urlacher.  

[lonestaral]

I live in Thailand.
Some inquire if I am a Buddhist monk in plain clothes.
Strange having to tell them about Yul Brynner in the King and I.
They do not know about Kojak either.

[Elxar]

I was called Krillin (DBZ), Airbender and a Shaolin

[Jaymo]

The good, Vick Mackie  (Michael Chiklis' character in "The Shield")

The bad, Hitler Youth (ugh!)

The ugly, Uncle Fester (I actually do look a bit like Uncle Fester)


Those are the things I've been called since starting my BBC journey last April.

My wife, one of my friends, and my boss have all called me uncle fester. It doesn't bother me, since I look like uncle fester. That and my boss is sly, also.
