Thanks Jonah!

A couple of things: Championship Manager is now Football Mananger (or Worldwide Soccer Manager in the USA) for 2 year. And the baseball database is from Sean Lahman, not Chris.

Same difference. I'm calling it by its original name.

At work I have been called Chris for the last 6 months by this guy in the next department. It always happens around other people, though, so I don't want to embarrass him by correcting him. At this point, it would be easier to just legally change my name to Chris.

Let's just say that getting called Chris seems to be going around.

Jonah Falcon · 03-11-2007, 11:38 AM

Well, that thing was fixed.

By the way, Chris Lahman is a wrestling announcer.

Curtis · 03-11-2007, 12:14 PM

'Chris Buttons'. It does have a ring to it….

One of my co-workers incorrectly referred to me as "Gene." Rather than correct him, the rest of my office now also refer to me as "Gene." It is a standing and (we feeL) rather humorous joke.

People keep calling me "Holmes". (sigh)

Heh heh. I wonder how many around these parts know why.

I know why, and it gets old. Especially since I'm more... oh, never mind.

The Wolf · 03-11-2007, 05:55 PM

Cause he's a detective?

Curtis · 03-11-2007, 08:03 PM

'Chris' must be a generic I-didn't-quite-catch-your-name name. When I was in school one of my teachers called me Chris, one Stan (a misreading of my middle name) and three Tracy (my sister's name. Don't ask).

You should have asked your mom to buy you your own clothes.

Oh, come on, we have to ask. What was up with that?

Some teachers if they teach several siblings at the same time or even over a few years will tend to just say the wrong name from time to time. It was particularly weird for one classmate I had in high school who not only had our teacher teach his siblings, but also his parents, aunts and uncles. He definitely would call him by his father's or uncles' names.

That's why I just go with "Mr. Jones" when I have siblings in class. Saves both of us the embarassment.

Anyway, I've already created seperate team logos and cap insignias. It's uber-cool. Next I'm going to see how uniform logos work.
