And he was.

When I was stationed in Depoe Bay, Oregon one of the local's was named Captain Jack Sparrow. Legally I might add. Dressed like the character everyday down to the tattoo.

I got stuck sitting by him in a coffee shop one day and started talking. Before he was Sparrow, he was legally Starbuck. As in the Battlestar, Starbuck. The old male one, not the cute blonde female in the newer one.

I felt kinda bad, guy had such a whatever life, he just picks cool characters off the TV and heads to the courthouse and gets his name changed.-WW

I went to school with a guy called Gareth Allcock .
His nickname was “but no balls” , which was shouted as quick as a flash as soon as his name was mentioned . Eg: twice a day in class registration , and many many times during 90 minutes of football .

Not really relevant , but thinking about “but no balls” brought a thought to my head that had me laughing .

His nickname was “man Super” :D:D:D
