From a song I used to play over and over on my little record player when I was a kid. "Bimbo, bimbo, where ya gonna go eo?"

As is probably evident, it scarred me for life and was strangely prophetic :)

all the time. Because I really liked grean beans when I was little. He *still* calls me that.

This guy my mom was with for a few years called me Pooter. Because everytime he had gas he would blaim it on me and I would get so angry, and he just thought it was hilarious. Everytime he called me that I would get angry and/or cry. He loved it.
