But she was deep south and they tack on a May, Lou, Jo, Bo, or Bob at the end of every name! I was also called "bug eyes" by a boy I had a crush on in school. I thought he hated me but at the end of our third year in the same class I found out that he really liked me and that's why he picked on me. Idiot. LOL!!!

I used to eat, sleep and breathe horses when I was a kid and the boys at school saw me 'galloping' round the playground pretending to be a pony so from then on, I was Horseface!! I was also 'lettuce' because I had protruding front teeth until I had braces on. Kids can be so cruel eh? My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I loved the blues and the only time I played anything else was when our band was playing for a dance. Anyway, my favorite blues artist was T-Bone Walker. My friends just started calling me T-Bone Junior and then just shortened it to Junior. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
