My nicknames include
hartwig-They say i look like the guy
Scooby Doo-Not sure why
Goatboy-after a snl or madtv skit; i can't remember
Todd-stage name

And i've been called other things too, like crazy and some other choice words that are used too sparadically to be considered nicknames.

It is from SNL, Jim Bruer-- also on Half-Baked.

I have also been called, besides Pre:
Superman (I hate my schools newspaper, who gave it to me)
Special Ed (cuz I wear a helmet when I vault, given to me from my fellow track team)

naes or my name backwards because there are those days when i vault good but nothing special, and then there are those days when i am just like another person, in a good way. My coach gave it to me, he has given every one a good name. We call them our "V"alter-egos.
VAULTERS ARE A CRAZY CREW BUT ITS A FUN RIDE!

my nickname is hallis (the phallus) thanks to a really awkward and misunderstood conversation my coach overheard. other than that people call me holly wood because an official thought that was my name at one of the meets. (my name is hallie woods, so it kind of works) :P
Save a pole, ride a vaulter

My old lacrosse teammates call me Stinker, cuz I quit lacrosse for pole vault. My vaulting buddies call me Rookie or Klutz... I killed myself on the crossbar my first meet. :confused: Ouch!

Some of the nicknames for people on the team are CreamPuff, Marshmallow Cream, and the twins.
Don't eat the crossbar.
Plant in the box.

I started vaulting when i was in 8th grade so my coach would call me "the 8th grader" and even though Im not in eighth grade any more the name stuck and both my coaches still call me "the 8th grader". my track friends call me Ziggy though
