Today I was put in the position of needing to make myself a nickname. Or, rather, I sort of suggested that I give myself a nickname. I love the idea of creating your own nickname because it seems like the final frontier of sadness. It makes me think of some poor dweeb who's desperate to be cool, so he creates some name that he thinks sounds bad ass, like "Blade" or "Chip" or "Ray Tracer" and tries to convince people to call him that. For example:

Cool guy: "Hey, Jim."
Jim: "No! I told you before, man! Call me Ray Tracer!"

See? Poor Ray Tracer.

Anyway, my nickname is Day Bat. I chose this for two reasons:

  1. It's like a normal bat, but more intense because it might be rabid.
  2. It shortens to "Da'Bat."

Obviously.
