Three more down.

- "Marky K," was my "rap name" as my younger brother and I recorded into the "mic" slot in my boom box at age 12. We were... wait for it... "The Skinny Boys."

- "Terremoto". The name given to me by my Italian grandfather as a four-year old Nihil tore about his house. It's Italian for "earthquake".

- "Play Doh". An inside joke with a g ang of us in HS based on a series of humorous plays I wrote called the "Philosophers Three". It's a play on words for "Plato"

So, one of the below was never my nickname:

1. 99
2. 569
3. Bobart
4. Ding
5. Henry
6. Lenoir
7. Lucky Duck
8. Marky K
9. Play Doh
10. Professor Spin
11. T. Alfred
12. Terremoto
13. The Hitman
14. Tyke
15. Tyson
16. Uncle Sid

Which?

1. 99 I doubt you were confused with Barbara Feldon

Both of the above guesses were army nicknames:

- "99," though I never thought of the "Get Smart" connection, was the name they gave me in Basic Training (I had scored in the 99th percentile on the initial aptitude test, so I had my choice of Military Specialties).

- "Henry," was a name given to me in Airborne School, because, apparently with my buzzcut and military "Birth Control Goggles," I bore a striking resemblance to punk singer Henry Rollins.

So, the fictional nickname remains:

1. 99
2. 569
3. Bobart
4. Ding
5. Henry
6. Lenoir
7. Lucky Duck
8. Marky K
9. Play Doh
10. Professor Spin
11. T. Alfred
12. Terremoto
13. The Hitman
14. Tyke
15. Tyson
16. Uncle Sid

Which is it?

One of the above two guesses is right, so a quick run down of the others:

-"569," my nickname as a Pop Warner football player, from my specialty play "Red Right 569 on Two"

-"Ding," my wife's nickname for me, short for... ahem... "Mr. Thomalama Ding Dong Head."

-"Lenoir," a frenchy bastardization of my last name

-"Lucky Duck,' something my babysitter used to call me

-"Professor Spin," nickname earned at my current job for my tendency to say things such as, "Yes, testing failed... but in a predictable manner."

-"Uncle Sid," at 19, after a Grateful Dead concert, I... never mind.


Quislet guessed, "Tyson," which was my tenth grade nickname earned for getting into a fight in the cafeteria...

...but Krypton Kid guessed correctly with "The Hitman," which was actually my brother's nickname in our preeteen rap group, "Marky K and the Hitman - the Skinny Boys". Man, I would kill to find that cassette tape!


Anyway, good job, KK, you're up.

That song has some deliberate and unapologetically heavy guitar, which I enjoy, but it isn't my favorite selection (this week).

Unfortunately, she had a pain and had to leave the list early.

Another guess?
