Fun fact: HBK is from my hometown

(which is different from where I currently reside)

~~Leo656~~ · 11-06-2003, 04:56 PM

Is it true that down there, people often refer to guys by their middle names rather than their first? Because HBK's real name is Michael Shawn Hickenbottom, but his friends and family all say that they always referred to him as Shawn because in some parts of Texas guys customarily go by their middle name. Just curious.

Well, it's not true MOST of the time, but I know quite a few guys that went to my high school that went that way.

Same here, I know a few people that do it but it is not a normal thing to do.

I've met people from all over the country that do that, it's not just a TX thing. I have a friend who just didnt like his first name as much as his middle, so he's just always gone by that.

See, I have known one or two people that did it too... which is why I always wondered why HBK and the rest would say it was "a San Antonio Thing". ((shrugs)) Guess it was just Michaels talking out his ass again.

Gee, THAT never happens.

I wasn't born there, but heck, it's where I live now...

I hate mods who split topics that go smoothly...

I meant born here. You don't count.

Hey Rez, what's with your hatred of Union Underground?
I personally don't care if someone dosn't like them, I'm only wondering 'cause you've mentioned them a few times recently, and I've never seen you talk about them in the past.
