Curious about Monikers

There is a French bulldog that lives in my building that is named "the professor"

 

[unclemick]

Sheryl is a nickname I picked up at work years ago. I think they were making fun of me. Sheryl was probably some dorky character on a tv show I never saw. But it stuck.

??Laverne and Shirley(1976)?? the comedy TV show.

A guess!

heh heh heh

[calmloki]

Too easy - i'm calm and low key. The more frantic the surroundings the slower and quieter i get. Under stress i take a nap, in an emergency i'm darn near comatose. Value the truth so highly i use it sparingly and thus the reference to the Norse God of Trickery.

Mine was assigned by the forum after the conversion from the old software.

 

[tangomonster]

Tang = orange cat
Tango = nickname for him
Monster = 25 pound cat

With a little encouragement, I might just post a photo of him so you can appreciate him in all his glory!

And here you thought it was because I was a fantastic tango dancer.....

 

[mountaintosea]

25 pound cat? Mmm some cat!

Mines pretty simple also. I live in the mountains and drive (1 to 1 1/2 hours) to the sea on some weekends to hang out.

Well... there are two options.

1) Historical significance (has to be translated to English) - Translated version of http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinaco

2) The other... - Chinaco® Tequila Website


I will give you a further hint. I am Anglo and know little to nothing about the history of Mexico.

Alright, watch the comments... a guy has to have some sort of recreational activity.

As you can tell, I am a deep thinker.
