Just a few: Tony, Branche, Antny, Anty-Branche, Branchewater, Per, Per-Branche, Per-Branche-Per-Antny-Per-Water, A-Train, Antoine, Antonio & Taylo are all among them......all just off the top of my head.
Antny Please Brang Milk,
Do you ever use the word "farty" in a sentence? If not or even if so, do you ever use the terms "win" and "fail" likethey are used in internet speak? (ex: "That movie was fail." "These cookies are win!")

Don't forget "Anfernee" (used by a certain poster on these boards)! The other nicknames I have for you are "National Anthony" and "American Anthony." And I think I told you this before, but to me "Branchewater" sounds like the name of an elf who lives by a river somewhere in Middle Earth.
I've only used the word "farty" in a sentence once -- this sentence. And I do use "fail" with some regularity -- usually emphasizing it with a facepalm.
APBM,
Are you teh 1337?

(National Anthony and American Anthony? Are those used to distinguish me from other Anthonys you know?!?! Oh, and to get the effect of how "Branchewater" sounds, pronounce the "a" in "branche" like the a-sound in "ain't" and be sure to put some twang in it--the "e" is silent! Also the whole "branche" thing stems from there being a pond or stream called Anthony Branch in a park where my relatives grew up.)
I have no effin' idea what "teh 1337" is!?!?!
Arby Please Brief Me,
What is "teh 1337"?!?!

BTW, "American Anthony" and "National Anthony" derive from the fact that Anthony sounds like "anthem." "Anth" is another, shorter nickname I just remembered. (What's the "Per" from?)
APBM,

Which is larger -- the number of friends from childhood with whom you are still in contact or the number of posters on LW whom you consider to be friends?

LW easily. I'm only in contact with maybe half a dozen childhood friends, and all of those are through facebook. There are far more people here I'd consider friends, even though most of you I haven't actually met.

What (besides comics) do you collect?

I'm not a big collector, but I do have a fairly-good sized collection of penguin things (paperweights, statuettes, ornaments etc.), mostly given as gifts over the years. I also have a few beagle and Peanuts (mostly Charlie Brown) things. My Christmas tree has a penguin/beagle/Charlie Brown theme.
I also have a collection of about 25 hymnals.
APBM,
I like Lad Boy's question. Let's ask it again: Which is larger -- the number of friends from childhood with whom you are still in contact or the number of posters on LW whom you consider to be friends?

I've returned to live in the same city I grew up in and teach in the same neighborhood I grew up in. I'd say the number of childhood friends.
I would say though that we reminisce more about days after school then during, except maybe when one of our parents passes. Then it's usually about high school.
My best friend from grade school long moved away to S. Carolina and he passed while mowing the lawn, maybe ten years ago.
APBM
Do you enjoy mowing the lawn?

It has been years since I have had to mow a lawn. But when I did, I didn't mind the mowing part. I liked the raking up less.
APBM,
What is your worse chore?

Yeah. I could be here for an hour talking about it. Let's just say that every month that the house doesn't go into foreclosure has come to seem like a magical surprise gift.

This answer is probably going to disappoint Blockade Boy.
Apples are my favorite fruit. Way to prepare? Tied between raw and in a pie.
APBM,
What was the last book you read? Not counting comic books.
