I've always been referred to as Greenman. The moniker has nothing to do with money, though  :watchplant:

Golfinwithflames has taken a little getting used to (I'm sure most agree  ;))

tellkyle: origins

pedophile... okay nonsense word association, thank god it was only high school and no more.  my last name --> bene-file --> peda-file  --> pedophile.  great huh.

my PE class, in which i was the only freshman (probably 5 5, 115 lbs).  lots of seniors.  you'd expect them to have been harsh on me.  nah, my buddy's brothers were in there who always got a kick out of me.  it pretty much rubbed off on the rest of the class (what a way to describe a story involving a locker room eh?).  anyways, due to my stature, i was tagged with the name "keebler".  It has a nice ring to it so i didn't really mind.  That stuck with me for the rest of high school as well.

Ohhh in spanish we had names too.  I was Geraldo for a long time.  I am positive I had another name but I can't remember right now.

I always give your last name a much more French/German/Spanish pronunciation that does not include "file".  Your pronunciation would be like David McDavid, Kyle Bene"file".  It's a rapper name.   :P
