Ever used an alias?
 

Kind of funny video here...CJ Wiley, who hustled on the road early, then became a tournament player, winning a lot of big tournaments back in the day. Just look for "CJ Wiley vs..." on youtube to see his tournament skill. Short video on his use of various aliases..

I always give a funky name to the matradee. Was a Burger King, guy asked for a name for the order and I stumbled, tryiing to come up with a good one and told him so. He smiled and said "Rainbow Sunshine" and wrote it on the order. I replied "My friends call me Bo".

So, ever since its been Rainbow Sunshine. Yes, when the order was ready he yelled out "RAINBOW SUNSHINE!"

My life has never been interesting enough to need and Alias. :rolleyes:

The closest I cam was being called Doc in the Army but they call all medics Doc so that doesn't count.

One of my buddies has a very polish name, Karolczyk. At a restaurant if they ask for the name and he gives them his real name they write down something starting with a K and when his name is called it is not even remotely close. So years ago he would just make up a name on the spot, like Joe Smith or Bob Jones. Then he would forget what he told them and have to wait to see if someone else approached when Bob Jones was called.

When I was about 19 or 20 a buddy of mine knew about a house party up in the rich part of town. More like a mansion party, kinda like in the movie weird science.
But we'd have to crash it, sneak in.

We got in the door OK and started talking to a couple of girls and he introduces me as Achmad. I smiled and went along with the gag.

Several month later I was getting ready to go into a nightclub and I head this girl's voice yell out ACHMAD .....
That night turned out well land it's been a running joke ever since.

i tried once and failed.

i said to a hostess, "my name is Jesus, party of 13?"

total silence. in hindsight that would come off awesome over the loudspeaker at a DimSum restaurant.

That's great!

My employee had some free automotive magazine subscriptions sent to our shop 25 years ago, for the waiting room . He signed up under the name of Kip Winger. To this day, I still get solicitation for Kip.

i still to this day, cant get the first bite of potato salad into my face before my wife says, "they call me tater-salad".

now i eat mac salad exclusively.

I have a ridiculously ethnic name. When starting out an editor misspelled it in the credits. The whole thing snowballed and I just let it go.

Sort of counts as an alias.

Fraternity brother ordered his Playboy magazine subscription as Hans Auf.

Sometimes we’ll make group reservations at a restaurant as Donner.

LOL I am so ripping that off :)

If I'm in line and they ask for a name....I'll repeat the person's right before me....or the person asking :)

I'm Dr. Rosenrosen, I’m here to get into the records room

When I worked for CIA we were each assigned an alias to be used in some situations. Evidently the alias names were obtained from very old (100+ year) death certificates. Many were names that had long ago stopped being used and were often ridiculous for use in current times.

My grandmothers names were Florence and Gertrude, names one does not hear much now.

Checking in to motels back in the 70's. ;)

You should use Alferd Packer.

For some reason, when I place orders, people write down my name as Ryan instead of Bryan. I guess that is an alias. When I was in high school one of my pals was named Heith. Pretty unusual name, and people couldn't spell it or pronounce it, so he told them his name was John. lol
