Unadilla Nicknames by Bob "TooTall" Wilhelm, Cub Reporter

 

If you are a dyed in the wool member of the Unadilla Tribe, you have known for a long time that we are a peculiar bunch. Recently, I was thinking about all the people I knew growing up and now know, that have nicknames that have stayed with them into adulthood, or at least these names have stuck in the memories of their friends and acquaintances to this day. The origins of some of these aliases have been forgotten, and that is probably for the best. Here is an opportunity for Unadillaites to test their Cardinal pedigree. I will not list the real life identity of these folks in an attempt to protect the innocent, but give it a run to see how many you can name. Here we go: Buzz, Cool Breeze, also known as Norton, Chicken, Wild Man, Crazy, Fool, Tubby, Goo Goo, Burferd, S__tbird, Squeezebox, Rip-off, Dwidgit, Porky, Scope, and Sugar Cookie (just to name a few!). Hope this brings back good memories for you like it did for me.
