Parlour Game--nicknames!

Mustang Del seems right.
Grandma Bunny, too.
Smokin' Joe..., could use review.


At Mantrap Lake my elder cousins called me Boris, because (obviously), "Go play somewhere else, Dan, you bore us!" Little did they know I'd go on to be an aficionado of Russian literature! Revenge!

Back to sporting celebrities, we'd wonder if Carlton Fisk smiled at his moniker "Pudge", or if Sandberg wanted something more imaginative than "Ryno". Some, like Paul Pierce "The Truth" self-nominate. And that is fair fixings in this suggested parlour game.
