In early oughts, like in 2001 or 2002 when I was much younger and dating my now wife, we met a young and cute girl at a theme Halloween party, and we kept in touch for other parties. She at some point met this guy which we will call Prez because that was what people called him (both his First and Last names were last names of two presidents).
I remember visiting them in New Orleans after they moved away and asking how they met. Apparently they went out on some sort of blind date or something, it was set up for them by someone, really hit it off, then went home, and both wrote a long-form blog post (that was really new and fresh then) about whom they just met, while at the same time also refreshing each other's blogs to see if they wrote about each other. Apparently both finished the articles within few minutes of each other, can't remember who was first, and that was the confirmation that they should go out again.
Oh and the guy programmed in TCL. shudder. I wouldn't be surprised if Prez is on this site, he was that kind of hacker.
- bjarneh 4y ago> Oh and the guy programmed in TCL. That's a pretty big red flag :-)
- rollcat 4y agoTcl feels like a bastard child of Lisp and shell, and is beautiful in its own unique and quirky way. I'm not surprised at all that someone would find it lovable ;)
- nibbleshifter 4y agoI have a love/hate relationship with it. Every couple of years, I spend a month or two writing almost exclusively in TCL for personal projects. Its the same with Perl. And expect scripts...
- thom 4y agoEvery few years I look at Scid, the chess app, and think about learning Tcl just to be able to add stuff to it but then life starts seeming very short.
- bryanrasmussen 4y agoSo to identify the guy we just have to figure out what two president names people would give you the nickname Prez for having. I'm going with Abraham Washington, I would definitely call a guy with those names Prez. George Lincoln - not so much.
- MrsPeaches 4y agoboth his First and Last names were last names of two presidents
- bryanrasmussen 4y agohmm, what Presidential last names work best as first names, not McKinley or Hoover... Kennedy Grant Garfield (although hard to imagine a guy named Garfield getting the Prez nickname) Fillmore? Jefferson Washington Wilson Jackson also what ones would be commonly known presidential names and maybe the first thing one thinks of when hearing the name is the President - Kennedy for sure, but Grant is a common enough name that I don't think of Ulysses when I hear it.
- mcv 4y agoMy impression was that in the US, any surname can be used as a first name. Wasn't there even someone with Mackenzie as first name? Plenty of Harrisons, Taylors and other names that really don't sound like a first name.
- cableshaft 4y agoTruman isn't too uncommon as a first name. Harry S. Truman was a president.
- curiousllama 4y agoBoth names are last names. That’s a big clue. First name has to be Grant or Jackson right? Maybe Wilson, potentially Adam if you stretch it. Last name could be anything. I’m going with Jackson Adams - seems like a regular name, common last name, just hoity toity enough for a nickname like prez to stick.
- Qahlel 4y agoBush Gore, Trump Obama, Reagan Biden, Kennedy Carter, Johnson Ford, Wilson Cleveland, Harrison Arthur, Hayes Johnson, Tyler Jackson
- tsavo 4y agoClearly baiting people to respond. You most likely intended Bush Clinton or Clinton Bush (which sounds better), instead of Bush Gore.
