So, the other day we were driving around down, Pigpen, MastaG, and myself, and we were talking about something that led to something else that led to the ‘Tuma. Now, MastaG is aware of the ‘tumor’s existence, and doesn’t really care. Pigpen, being 5, understands that I type on the computer, pictures of him show up on the computer sometimes, and he gets called Pigpen.
And he doesn’t like that.
He got that name when the ‘tumor started, we were cutting down a tree or something at Cemestos, and he, being 3, enjoyed playing in the dirt under the swings, and getting to the point where theres the cloud of dirt around him, and Bos was on a big “Peanuts” trip, so the name kinda magically appeared.
I digress.
Anyway, we were out, and MastaG called Pigpen “Pigpen”.
Pigpen: “Don’t call me Pigpen!”
MastaG: “Well, thats your name. Its not a bad name”
Pigpen: “I don’t like it! I don’t want to be Pigpen!”
And it went for a bit. So, I started calling him “Juicebox”. Not sure why. I also started calling MastaG “Butter”. Not sure why there either. Pigpen liked the name Juicebox, and insisted on being called that all day. Furthermore, he insisted on calling G “Butter”, which provoked complaints.
I kinda like the name “Butter” for G.
Anyway, abracadabra, Pigpen is now Juicebox. I’ve filed all of the necessary change of names paperwork with the Internet, and Al Gore has responded stating that we’re ready to roll.
I like the name Juicebox too.

Where’d you find those forms? I’m pretty much only VA BB in the greater TN regional blogging community.
Juicebox could work.
Not Butter. No. Not at all.

Butters is the coolest dude on South Park. You know, he put our imaginations right again after it was attacked by terrorists and all.
But, you’ll have to ground him a lot more.
Tis the nature of Butters - save the world, get grounded by your parents.

Kids are so darn cute! I like Butter, but with a Jersey accent. Just tell him that he can use the comeback “Yeah, I’m smooth all right, like butta.”

Since MasterG err Butter is from TN. you could lengthen it to Butternut.

“Tennesseans sometimes are referred to as “Volunteers,”“Big Benders” and “Butternuts.” The first two are derived from the nickname of the state, while the tag of “Butternuts” was first applied to Tennessee soldiers during the War Between the States because of the tan color of their uniforms. Later, it sometimes was applied to people across the entire state.”
BN for short.

My oldest brother is in a motorcycle club called the Longriders. His name is Six Pack. My little nephew hero-worships Mike, so Mike started him Juicebox when he was about 3. Coincidences are fun.
Thanks for sharing so much AT… you’re grace, honesty and devotion to your family is truly something that makes us all want to do, to be, better.

Yeah, I don’t know about “butternut”… too many unwanted connotations there.
Juicebox is an interesting choice. Have you talked to October about the whole juicebox thing? It’s a weird 4th grade girl thing that I don’t understand. Probably never will.

I understand what you are saying about “Butternuts”. Might should have made that post at Manland. ;)
