I've never met a decent Gus

[Nuzzolese]

All guys named Gus that I've ever known, have kind of been dim-witted jerks. And I've never met an Alex who wasn't extremely sure of himself.
Have you ever noticed any name/personality patterns?

Of course these are just my personal experiences, maybe all the Guses you've ever known have been sweethearts.

Maybe it's all in my head and I just LOOK for patterns and make them myself, you know how people say bad things come in threes when really if you looked hard enough could justify saying that they come in fours or twos just as easily.

Or maybe these names do create a personality either because of how people react to them or what famous people had them.

[Kid Presentable]

My name is Andrew.

React.

[Qdrop]

Maybe it's all in my head and I just LOOK for patterns and make them myself,

though i've never met a Sue that i didn't want to punch in the head.

fuckin Sue's...

[The Notorious LOL]

90% of Steves think they're some kind of gift to humanity.

Chuck is a name for dudes that fix trucks or do plumbing/HVAC

Butch tends to be friends with Chuck, as they work together.

Linda means you're a librarian, or at least a quiet housewife dominated by Steve.

Dave is an all around dork name. DAAAAVE....just listen to that. christ.

also, Doug, Rod, Ned, Todd (flanderses lol), Brayden, Tucker, Tyler, Taylor, etc etc.

[Qdrop]

okay...
so what does the name "brad" (bradd) exude?

[Qdrop]

every Pat i have ever known has been cool as shit...

until Toucan came around and ruined that.

[Kid Presentable]

okay...

so what does the name "brad" (bradd) exude?

I think of bards.

[voltanapricot]

I've never met a Leanne that wasn't arrogant, I've never met a Kate that wasn't kind and I've also never met a Simon that wasn't gay.

[Kid Presentable]

I've never met a Leanne that wasn't arrogant, I've never met a Kate that wasn't kind and I've also never met a Simon that wasn't gay.

Your name is Clorence, right?

[Echewta]

My donkey's name is Gus you jerk.

[Nuzzolese]

My name is Andrew.

React.

laid back, at times frustratingly ineffectual. Andy has a little more energy, he's on the move, name as to be clearly audible when shouted.

30 Helens agree.

[kll]

I don't think there's anyone in California named Gus, therefore I've never met one.

[Kid Presentable]

Brad=Gay
Bradd=Super Cool


KidP, Andrew is a solid name, but you should go by something more street like DrewDrop.

Yeah DrewDreezy or some shit. Or maybe Tullamore Drew.

[Sarky Devotchka]

I knew one Gus in college, he was hot, but kind of an asshole.

I hate Kathys and Lindsays.

[Qdrop]

but be honest...
who here has NOT wanted to punch a Sue in the face?

anyone?

[Kid Presentable]

laid back, at times frustratingly ineffectual. Andy has a little more energy, he's on the move, name as to be clearly audible when shouted.

30 Helens agree.

Yeah, we don't do Andy in these parts.

[Qdrop]

30 Helens agree.

see, now Helen.

Helen just screeeeeaaaams "conservative and fat" to me.

[Auton]

Every Brad and Derek I've met were arrogant, all the Bens I've met (besides my uncle) are kind of slow, I've only met one Josh who wasn't a cocky womanizer, and every single one of the Samans I've ever known were over-opinionated, emotionally infantile, hypocritical, uncreative bastards

[kll]

but be honest...
who here has NOT wanted to punch a Sue in the face?

anyone?

haha. the one Sue i know wanted to get plastic surgery on her hoohoo claiming that after 3 kids it was corroded because she couldn't keep it "clean" due to all the folds from it stretching out. i never wanted to sit near her again. this is the same woman who claimed using soap took away the body's natural cleansing ingredients, therefore she never washed her hoohoo with soap. no wonder it was corroded.

[Auton]

and all the Alyssas I've ever known were hoooooooooooooooot

[voltanapricot]

Your name is Clorence, right?
Yes indeed and I dislike it for being so close to Chloe, and we all know French prostitutes with webbed feet are Chloes.

[Auton]

ahahaha

[Kid Presentable]

Oh yeah, Zorra is a Sue, and she's fucking pwning us all daily.

[Nuzzolese]

I knew one Gus in college, he was hot, but kind of an asshole.

I hate Kathys and Lindsays.

Oh, Guses are always sluts, I forgot to add that.

[ms.peachy]

:o mr.peachy's name is Gus

[Freebasser]

I was named after a character in Sex and The City

[Auton]

all the mandys i've met have been bizarre and really really nice

[Nuzzolese]

I was named after a character in Sex and The City

So you're about, what, 7 years old now?

[kll]

Oh yeah, Zorra is a Sue, and she's fucking pwning us all daily.
how's that?

[Nuzzolese]

Mindy is just bad news

[Freebasser]

So you're about, what, 7 years old now?

7 and a half.

My name is Mr. Big, pleased to meet you (y)

[voltanapricot]

I was named after a character in Sex and The City
I was named after my mum!

[Auton]

Mindy is just bad news

(y)

[Nuzzolese]

I wasn't named after anything, my parents just liked the name

[Kid Presentable]

Who's Helen? My godmother is a Helen, and those folks stopped me from hanging myself. (y)

[Auton]

all the jeremys i know are really, really bad rappers

[Sarky Devotchka]

Mindy is just bad news

yes, and Mindi is worse. and I'm not just saying that because that's the name of somebody's girlfriend. i mean, it is. I am. that's, um, what? I forgot.

[Kid Presentable]

all the jeremys i know are really, really bad rappers
I met one who talked all through geography.

/esoteria

/not really

[hpdrifter]

I don't know that my name brings up any connotations or images.

Garys are usually kind of pussy.

Anyone care to comment on Sean versus Shawn versus Shon, etc.

Or Megan versus Meghan versus Meagan?

Or Kristina versus Christina versus Cristina?

[marsdaddy]

So you're about, what, 7 years old now?He went through his first 13 years nameless then his parents decided on Amanda.

[Qdrop]

Becky's are far too sexual.

[Sarky Devotchka]

Becky's are far too sexual.

I know a becky that's pretty much asexual.

[Freebasser]

Becky's are far too sexual.

I can vouch for that.

[hpdrifter]

So is your name Gary?

No, but it is one of the names i listed.

[Qdrop]

I know a becky that's pretty much asexual.

you, lady, are a LIAR!

[beastiegirrl101]

I've never met a Melissa that I liked...they are always bitches.

[hpdrifter]

Hey hp, if that came across the wrong way, I'm sorry. :o

Dude, you called me a guy. How can I not take that the wrong way?


;)

[Monsieur Decuts]

I'm with you on the Alex bit.
The only Gus I know was my old bus driver, he was a good feller.


I've never met a Colleen that was skittish and jittery,

I've never met a Dave that was a jerk.

I've never met a Daryl that wasn't a jerk.

I've never met a Hillary that wasn't on a power trip.

[Lex Diamonds]

Becky's are far too sexual.
Word to that. Becky fuckin loves the cock. (y)

[hpdrifter]

Sean. You know, like Sean Young.

[jabumbo]

christina's who go by tina are usually girly and more childish, and the ones who go by chris are butch



and i have never met a kate, or any katherine variation that i did not like a bit more

[Bob]

i've never met an alex that i like either....all these alexanders, they think they're so great

[fucktopgirl]

Alexandre/alexander,,i 'v fall in love like with 4 of them in my teens!!

I'v met a Gus and he was tranvestite and Bob was his lover.They adopt a kid together and Pete was his name!What a family!!

[roosta]

based on tv/movies, Brad's are jock assholes.

[Bob]

based on tv/movies, Brad's are jock assholes.

if only there was a brad we could consult to confirm/deny the stereotype

[Nuzzolese]

Tim, no matter how much he attempts to haughtily prove otherwise, is a big nerd and he knows it.

[Nuzzolese]

Hunter is one of those girls gone wild, and she don't give a fuuuuck.

[Qdrop]

if only there was a brad we could consult to confirm/deny the stereotype

ahem.

i'm the nicest guy on this board, thanks.

[Monsieur Decuts]

Ian, I know you are above average intellegence, and have endearingly quirky ways, but you need to loose 40 pounds and join a sport.

[hpdrifter]

Hunter is one of those girls gone wild, and she don't give a fuuuuck.

So is McKenzie

[DroppinScience]

How about Brett? I know that has connotations of awesome...

[marsdaddy]

I'm Gus!

[hpdrifter]

How about Brett? I know that has connotations of awesome...

Brett makes me think of the jock from 80s movies who drives a trans am and bullies everyone. But he's not cute, he's big and has no neck. He's cheesy.

[monkey]

i know a brilliant, gorgeous gus. if he werent my best friend's brother, i'd hit that.

also, i know a lot of alexes. and for the most part, theyre just like everyone else.


i only read the first post in this thread. i just wanted to establish that the gus i know is awesome.

p.s: im the best paulina ever.

[Bob]

i've never met an alex that i like either....all these alexanders, they think they're so great

haha, good one!

[jabumbo]

all the angela's i know are all sweet and caring. and have magnificent smiles


and brians tend to be soft spoken but highly opinionated

[ms.peachy]

i know a brilliant, gorgeous gus.
OMG! Me too! :D

He's also got a really cute ass! I'm lookin at it right now!

[TurdBerglar]

you ever notice that kids who have parents that insists that you call them by their full name (ex: johnathan not john) end up being very full of themselves?

[DroppinScience]

Brett makes me think of the jock from 80s movies who drives a trans am and bullies everyone. But he's not cute, he's big and has no neck. He's cheesy.

I'm not a jock, but yeah, everyone tends to think of sporty/jock-types when it comes to the name Brett.

[TAL]

Big Gus (http://www.doingsomething.com/sureshots/BigGus3.jpg) (y)

[cosmo105]

Brian/Bryan. with the exception of my cousin (though i don't know his personal life that well so this may be true), every one of them has something weird or creepy or just plain OFF about his personality.

never met an Adam i didn't like.

[Nuzzolese]

never met an Adam i didn't like.

Me too, which is amazing considering how many of them there are.

[cosmo105]

totally.

most of the Chris-es i know are either way too shy or way too cocky.

i hate my name.

[kleptomaniac]

never met an Adam i didn't like.

Adams are the cute ones. usually.


on a radio show these people were talking about how girls named "tina" are always ugly. but i don't think a name should automatically define who you are. i'm glad my name's not tina though....

[JimmyTheScumbag]

If your name is Gus you probably are stupid because your stupid parents couldn't up with anything better than Gus so they also trained you in the rest of their stupid ways.

I think 80% of the Andy's I have known have been gay.

[ms.peachy]

If your name is Gus you probably are stupid because your stupid parents couldn't up with anything better than Gus so they also trained you in the rest of their stupid ways.

He's just gotten a good laugh out of that, thanks (y)

[cosmo105]

i know a gay Andy! actually, he spells it with an i. Andi. yeah. homo.

pretty much every James i know has been a deceptively sweet guy that's really a dick when you get to know him. i'm trying to think of one that isn't, but really...when you get right down to it, they are.

[cosmo105]

i've only ever mett a couple of Peggys but they all have been awesome people.

and every Tony i met had a real soft voice.

[Rock]

The only Gus I know taught me how to make the best hamburgers ever. Gus = (y)

[ms.peachy]

Mr.peachy informs me that he is digusted by all of this anti-Gus sentiment and says you can kiss his ass. He says no Christmas cards for any of you next year, and you're not gonna get to see any pictures of this kid when it comes out either, who the hell are you people anyway.

edit - OK Rock gets a Christmas card, and Pauli. The rest of you, you're dead to him. (yeah I know, kind of an empty threat considering but there ya go.)

[roosta]

sharon's have a reputation for being slags/chavs, but ive known a couple of very nice sharon's.

[ToucanSpam]

The name Brad reminds me of greasy, uneducated, witless morons who were the hangers-on of the 'cool people' in high school.

I've never met or heard of a kind Jessica, as I stated many moons ago when this topic came up a long time ago.

Never met a nice Luke either. Or a Todd.

All Megans are wastes of time.

[kleptomaniac]

Kathleens are loud and talkative/annoying.

Kates are shy.

Katies are bitchy.

Katherines are nice.

Kathys aren't.

but that doesn't apply to everyone. just for the ones i know....

[DroppinScience]

There's gotta be exceptions to everyone of these "rules" here... :rolleyes:

[cosmo105]

I've never met or heard of a kind Jessica
damn straight


ms. peachy i think gus is a perfectly lovely name

please send me more cards

[ToucanSpam]

There's gotta be exceptions to everyone of these "rules" here... :rolleyes:
There's no doubt that there are.

I'm sure outside this message board that cosmo isn't a jerk.

[Bob]

haha, good one!

yes, i thought

[kleptomaniac]

Bobs are schizo.

[fucktopgirl]

yes, i thought

i start to believe that you really look like youre avatar!!

[paulb]

I have never ever met a Gus...i feel its a lost opportunity.

[kleptomaniac]

Pauls are know-it-alls, but in a charming way

Bradds are know-it-alls, in an uncharming way.

Guses might not know much, but they're still more charming than Bradds.



...and Bobs aren't funny. :rolleyes:

[paulb]

Pauls are know-it-alls, but in a charming way




Thanks, but I already knew that.

[hpdrifter]

If Brad is more know it all than Paul and Paul is more charming that Andi, what velocity is the train moving at?

[paulb]

If Brad is more know it all than Paul and Paul is more charming that Andi, what velocity is the train moving at?


HAHAHA, good one C. I believe the correct answer is 52 MPH.

[ericlee]

damn, of all the countries I've been to and all the traveling. I have yet to meet a guy named Gus

[hpdrifter]

HAHAHA, good one C. I believe the correct answer is 52 MPH.

I'm good for a funny about once every coupla months or so.

[jabumbo]

bob's tell really corny jokes and the only people that laugh at them are other bob's and rich's

and jim's like bob's, but don't think they are actually funny, but fake laugh at a lot of their jokes because they think they are cool.

[Kid Presentable]

I knew a kid named Gus who skated. He did a kickflip down a flight of stairs, and he had 'Gusto' spraypainetd on the bottom of his board. Dude was a fucking tool.

[cosmo105]

not necessarily. i knew only one becky, and she was gross and huge and always talked about her bi ex boyfriend and how they'd both make out with the same dude and he was gross too and she'd always be shifting her strapless bra up and down :(

[Medellia]

i start to believe that you really look like youre avatar!!
That is the oh so awesome Rik Mayall.

On topic, a couple of years ago my roommate and I noticed that Terry's are generally a bit dumb. And anyone who's name ends in an "i" is an idiot as well. That doesn't include people who have nicknames that end with an "i" (like moi), just those whose legal/given names end with it.

Also Ambers are almost always complete tards. FACT.

[Bob]

i've never met an alex that i like either....all these alexanders, they think they're so great

come on! alexander the great! it's hilarious!

[cosmo105]

come on! alexander the great! it's hilarious!
hahahahaha. slick.


feel better now, bob?

[Nuzzolese]

Augustus Ceaser?

Was he that dirty-blond headed guy who used to date Jamie Burke back when he managed that Dunkin Donuts on High Street? I don't think I know him.

[Nuzzolese]

"We're all very sorry, Cassie"

"It's CARRIE!" *que ashtray to flip over by itself*


What have you been incorrectly called?

Morgan
Marilyn
Madeline
Marty
Natalie
Megan
Nicole (wtf?)
Melissa
Meredith


basically any M name besides my own

[Bob]

i've been called:

beb (?)
andy
roger
tom
howie (although that's just because i looked like this kid named howie in the class, and the teacher got us confused all the time)

People mix me up with any other dark haired white girl in the area too, so I get called whatever their name is, but I don't think it counts the same because they have the right name essentially, it's just misplaced.

[Bob]

well, ok, but andy???? andy???????

[hpdrifter]

I get Christine a lot.

It really bugs me, I mean, how hard is it add the fucking "a" at the end? Its like, if you're going to just not listen to me when you ask my name, then don't ask, dickhead.

[Nuzzolese]

well, ok, but andy???? andy???????

You should be glad to be an Andy!

[Bob]

but i've never met a decent andy

[Nuzzolese]

but i've never met a decent andy

You could be the one to turn around the bad connotations. My brother is an Andy. Well, he's an Andrew to me and my family, but all his friends call him Andy so...I don't know what that means.

[Bob]

i'll work on turning around bob, first...then i'll get to andy, if there's time

[hpdrifter]

SeanA? :D

Yeah its pronounced like shawna.

[Nuzzolese]

Beb cracks me up. It's like Bort. "No, my son is also named Bort"

I've never had a good experience with a girl named Angel, or a girl named Tara. Taras all scare me a little. Even when some of them seem nice at first, I'm slightly afraid. The first Angel I ever met was my babysitter one day when she threatened to whip me with her dad's belt if I didn't dance for her, and she made me cry.

[mickill]

I've never met a decent Mervert.

[hpdrifter]

What's people's take on Michelles?

[hpdrifter]

I used to work with this chick called Guadalupe. She was a scary bitch.

[Bob]

What's people's take on Michelles?

i embarrassed myself romantically in front of a michelle once. i haven't looked at them the same way since

[mickill]

Is this supposed to mean something to me? Like we're kindred spirits or something, just because people sometimes call you by the wrong name? And it happens to be mine? What're you getting at even? Do you want to start a club or something? Is the name Mike so rare in your neck of the woods that this sort of thing would baffle you? Has it drawn local media attention? I don't know what you want from me with this, guy.

[mickill]

Get even? Learn to read. I think you should just stab yourself in the face with all sorts of dining cutlery and kitchen utensils.

[fucktopgirl]

haha,,,mickill is in a killer mood today!!!

[mickill]

Yeah, let's start a stab cmute in the face with all sorts of sharp objects club.

[Rock]

Dull objects would be better cause i imagine it would hurt more. If you start THAT club, I'll join.

[mickill]

Dull objects would be better cause i imagine it would hurt more. If you start THAT club, I'll join.
For that excellent input alone, I think you should be nominated chief face stabber first class.

[hpdrifter]

i embarrassed myself romantically in front of a michelle once. i haven't looked at them the same way since

How?

[Bob]

oh, that was an embarrassing night, i don't really wanna talk about it...

here's what happened, i went to this party with these two girls and i completely misinterpreted the signs they were sending. in retrospect, i think the one was trying to hook me up with the other (michelle) but i totally got confused and blew it and thought the one (not michelle) was the one that was trying to hook up with me, and i ended up not hooking up with anybody.

also i may have sort of told her that i was a virgin and she kind of hasn't talked to me since.

I'M SO AWKWARD

oh, this is a nice start to a new page

[hpdrifter]

Oh damn.

So this happened recently?

I think its okay for a guy to be a virgin.

[Rock]

I think its okay for a guy to be a virgin.
Me too. I'm a born again virgin.

[Bob]

Oh damn.

So this happened recently?

I think its okay for a guy to be a virgin.

no, probably a year ago or so. it's hard to say, it feels like ages ago.

then again, it was an 80's theme party

[hpdrifter]

Wow, coincidence?

Did you get my 80's themed quote?

[Bob]

Wow, coincidence?

Did you get my 80's themed quote?

no, i hate the 80's. not because of the party, i just don't like them

[hpdrifter]

no, i hate the 80's. not because of the party, i just don't like them

Breakfast Club, dude, Breakfast Club. Everyone likes that movie.

[Rock]

GO FIX ME TURKEY POT PIE!

[Bob]

you know, i've never actually seen it. and here i thought you were just trying to be nice!

[hpdrifter]

you know, i've never actually seen it. and here i thought you were just trying to be nice!

I was, the purpose of the quote was twofold.

I was a virgin until I was almost 20. I'm not ashamed of it.

[g-mile7]

all the jeremys i know are really, really bad rappers


I finally met an Edward today who didn't like his peanut butter and jelly sandwitch's with the crust off it...most the Edwards I know like that junk don't know why must be something there momma used to do for them :confused:

[g-mile7]

hell's yea (y) (y) still fishing for 'em

[g-mile7]
