Ok, this is kinda facebook-y, but it was actually at huff post.

I'll kick it off with:
Mines "Boney Bones Lee"
[But would that be shortened by the PR peeps to B. Bones Lee, or BB Lee?]
anyway, what's yours?

Mine came out as "Skinny Legs Parker"
I sure ain't got no skinny legs!
(Don't get me wrong, I don't have fat legs neither. Just long ones.)

I've been blue for so long, they made a Smurf movie about me.
Oh I've been blue for so long, they made that whole Smurf movie about me.
You don't need to check my license, just call me Curly Fingers Lee.

Blind Legs Davis agrees; let's do Watch names too.
I think I'll use 'Curly Parker' on passport and official documents and 'Blind Legs Davis' for my witness protection and underground identities.

Let's *not* use Watch names. Then I'd just be Fat. (I've gotten that enough in RL.
)

You got some good ones. I'm not sure if vraith is a first, middle, or last, so I'm Toothless, Pickles, or Jenkins.
And I don't know, Cag....there could be situations where having jailhouse eyes might be handy.

For the last time, Vraith, I'm not gay.

"I wouldn't have given him a second glance. Striped pants; striped shirt; dragged around a ball and chain. A man, I thought, who might not be around when you needed him. But then I saw those jailhouse eyes ..."

Yes, "Pretty Bones" does suit you better. Alternatively, in the context of blues, fat is really phat and everyone loves good phat sounds. They the best!

When I first saw yours, I thought you could just drop the middle initial (as I did with CP) and it would work fine, but then I saw wayfriend's post
and realized it's perfect as is.

Don't know why, but I think you're Jenkins.
