~Nicknames ~ George Herman Ruth, Jr. (February 6, 1895 – August 16, 1948), also known as “Babe”, “The Bambino”, “The Sultan of Swat”, and “The Colossus of Clout”, was an American Major League baseball player from 1914-1935. Ruth is regarded by many historians and fans as the greatest baseball player of all time, due to a combination of his on-field accomplishments and records; his significant roles both in changing the way baseball is played and in establishing the New York Yankees dynasty; and his resulting worldwide name-recognition. He is a charter member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.

”DC3” – Destiny’s child, American female R&B group



The cat, nicknamed Macavity, has one blue eye and one green eye.

The cat was nicknamed Macavity after the mystery cat in T.S Elliot’s poem. He gets on the bus in front of a row of 1950s semi-detached houses and jumps off at a row of shops down the road which include a fish and chip shop.

Driver Bill Khunkhun, 49, who first saw the cat jumping from the bus in January, said: “It is really odd, the first time I saw the cat jumping off the bus with a group of passengers. I hadn’t seen it get on which was a bit confusing.

“The next day I pulled up on Churchill Road to let a couple of passengers on. As soon as I opened the doors the cat ran towards the bus, jumped on and ran under one of the seats, I don’t think any of the passengers noticed.

“Because I had seen it jump off the day before I carried on driving and sure enough when I stopped just down the road he jumped off - I don’t know why he would catch the bus but he seems to like it. I told some of the other drivers on this route and they have seen him too.”

Since January, when the cat first caught the bus he has done it two or three times a week and always gets on and off at the same stops.

Passenger, Paul Brennan, 19, who catches the 331 to work, said: “I first noticed the cat a few weeks ago. At first I thought it had been accompanied by its owner but after the first stop it became quite clear he was on his own.

“He sat at the front of the bus, waited patiently for the next stop and then got off. It was was quite strange at first but now it just seems normal. I suppose he is the perfect passenger really - he sits quietly, minds his own business and then gets off.”

Flew in the Whale......never cared much for the other nick....probably 'cause it had a ring of truth to it.

The A-1 Sky Raider had another nickname.....Sandy. I haven't a clue how that came about.

When I was stationed at Cannon AFB they had a female O6 as Base Commander. I can’t remember her last name but her first name was Mary. She got into a twist over aircrew wearing white socks and would have them hoist up the pants leg of their flight suits to check if the color was right. Her nickname, “Mary, Queen of Socks.”

I probably don’t look and I know I don’t act like a “ma” so, it’s good she called me Mimo. ;-)

My Great Grandma was called Ma.
She was a 3/4 Cherokee Indian and mean as I don’t know what!
Not that Cherokee Indians are mean. But she sure was. ;-)

I just always had a part of me that rebelled at that name. ;-)
