Subject: Nicknames for regulars?
I realized that since I always seem to run and swim in the same places I've noticed a group of regulars I see pretty often and that I've come up with nicknames for alot of them. Its amazing how your mind will wander without an Ipod...

Swimming:
Luigi - he reminds me of Luigi from the Mario Brothers game
WNG (pronounced "wang") - Weird Naked Guy - 60yo guy who strips down as soon as he gets to the locker room then goes about his business
Slappy - makes a huge splash during each stroke
FM - Fin Man. Whole workout uses flippers and hand paddles
DSL - Doesn't Share Lane

Running-
GNC - Giraffe Neck Chick
Angry Guy - Always has hunched shoulders, wears camo and looks po'd
Preparation H Raymond - Looks like the guy from the Conan O'Brien skit
HBO - Hot Blonde in Orange
HRM - Hot Running Mama
MMM - Mystery Mustache Man
PMS - Poodle Man Shuffler
FBI - Fast Brunette who is Intense

that's so funny. Here are mine:

J-Lo- Mexican woman who has really bright obnoxious workout outfits but never works anything but her glutes... and it shows... 

EuroFag- creepy guy that looks like the lead singer of A-HA, wears a string instead of a tank top

LazyLady- never racks her weights

Shorty- well, he's short.

BakerMan- way too much time spent in the tanning bed

BD's (there are about 6 of them) baby-dykes 

Big Ears- this former UW football player who thinks he is IT, but one day he took his stocking cap off and his ears popped out like Baby New year's.

Leisure Suit Larry- old guy in old school warm up suit that struts around hitting on everything that moves

I have:

Hot chick..
really hot Chick...
Smoking hot chick...

There is one guy that swims everyday for about 10-20 mins and I get very p'od when he enters the pool. I usually start doing IM's so he won't pick my lane. He always runs into me and stands in the middle of the lane..grrrrrr. I have a nickname for him, but I'll keep it to myself

That is funny......... you really do start to see the same people and start identifying them with particular characteristics.

At the pool there's Combover, who could be Splashy and Weird Naked Guy: Is it just me, or do you find it disturbing to see a guy strip down, then walk buck naked to the urinal, have a slash (barefoot!), then saunter back to his locker? That just freaks me out!

There's Floater, the one who moves down the lane imperceptibly, as though floating.

I do the same thing on the train in the morning. There's Snot - the guy who snorts back his snot with a guttural sound that never fails to make me cringe.

There's Lazylazylazy, that's a long story.

There's M'ah!, who yawns ever 10 - 15 seconds on the train home.

Only a few:

Asscrack Guy - he ALWAYS wears his trunks down around his 62 inch hips, giving ample view of about 14 inches of butt crack as he descends down the ladder into the pool.

Baby Huey Lifeguard - self-explanatory.

Baby Drowning Momma - the well-intentioned but stupid woman who used the "sink or swim" teaching method on her wailing baby.

I have:

At the pool, Splashy.  There are several of them.  They all sprint 25s and make huge waves and splash water everywhere.  Then, they wait 5 minutes before their next 25. 

While running, there is gazelle chick.  She doesn't so much run as take leaps forward while failing her arms around.  I can't really describe it to do it justice.

Bald Power - bald muscular guy who swims all four strokes faster than I freestyle.

Pudgier Guy - Guy who is similar in build to me but huskier and swims faster than me.

Ex swim team chick - any of three women who I see occasionally and who swim faster than me.

Swim fin brother - Black guy who swims with fins, mask and snorkel and is WAY faster than me.  (he's practicing for his vacation).

Car guy - does the 'boot camp' workout in the morning and is always in the locker room talking about his Viper to someone.  He probably swims faster than me too.

Buddies - two guys who are in the same aisle in the locker room every day in the morning with me and Car guy.  They set off my gay-dar but I can't say I'm 100% sure (not that I care, I'm just saying they're not flaming).  They crack me up because they are there at 4:30 am every day but after their workouts they go sit in the hot tub for 20 minutes.  That early wouldn't you trade the hot tub for more sleep?

Big Orange guy - big guy who I talked to once and found out he's in a similar line of work.  Now we say hi every morning.  He always wears big orange shorts.  Really big, and really orange.  Usually a black concert t shirt with them.

Perky - girl with the body of a ten year old boy who goes 1 billion miles an hour on the elliptical machine.  I mean her feet actually blur she's going so fast.  She can't weigh 85 lbs and is a complete stick. 

My friends - anyone who does NOT have a perfect body and drips sweat from working their *** off, like me.

WWII dude-An old man who is always talking about the way it was in the war to anyone who will listen. Sidenote I was in the millitary too but usually don't talk about it all the time.

Cheap mans Richard Simmons- This guy with the candy cane striped short shorts, the white mans fro and the annoying high pitched whiny voice who pretty much owns the stair stepper.

Slow motion- This guy who walks up and down a swim lane even if there is only one open and people are trying to swim. He just walks super slow up and down the lane.

Killer- This guy who walks around karate kicking things and generally looks like he wants to kill something.

Old French pimp- This 70 yo French guy who hits on every woman that works out. One day I will be as cool as him.

The Flailer - Guy who seems to be able to stroke with each arm in succession and breathe in about 0.2 seconds.  Somehow he makes the second arm come up over his head while he's on his side and actually drift towards the water on the opposite side of where it's gonna go in.  I can't even do it justice.

I Hope You're Rehabbing Your Knee - Very tall guy, about 40ish who takes up a whole lane to aqua-walk/jog.  Doesn't appear to be injured.  Doesn't do it long enough to make it a workout.  Just takes up room when the pool is busy.

Backstroke Lady - She apparently followed us from our gym that was destroyed in the hurricane.  She mostly floats and occasionally strokes.

All of mine are from Bayshore Blvd. That is the street that runs along the bay that the Gasparilla marathon was on. I live a few blocks off it, Work at the end of it, and run and bike on it. Here are mine:
Backwards Walker: Pretty simple just a skinny dude who walks backwards all the time. Me Max and Renee saw him near the yacht club on Davis Island during the marathon.
The Viking: This big guy probobly as tall as me but with a big (not muscular big) chest and belly he has blond hair to his shoulder and a goatee and he always walks up and down with red shorts and no shirt.
Dorthy: This lady rides up and down with her little doggie in a basket on the front of her beach cruiser bike...you can tell they both are having a great time.
Spandex man: Jim wishes he was as cool as this guy. I have only seen him on Swann but he has a little mushatche and wears multi color spandex (like orange and bright red) and a backpack and windmills his arms while walking.
The Ice Goddess: Coined because we saw her on early morning saturday runs in the winter. I was running with my serious running friends and this girl would come by in a tight blond pony tail and blow by us like we were standing still we a very no nonsence look on her face.

In my gym, I have the "sitter", at the start of my gym session he is sitting but naked, no towel on bench, when I finished my workout +/- and hour he is still sitting but naked, no towel on bench, gotta wonder why he does not use a towel to sit on.

The noisy guy, huff puffs and groans at every swing of the weight, and they aint all that heavy either.

The sweaty guy, who does not use a towel, leaves a trail of perspiration behind on the gym equipment.

The really hot fast swimmer chick, no explanation required

I've been seeing Dorothy for YEARS!

Oh, and there's also...

Knee Masher Boy - rides an expensive bike and a knee brace and then MASHES his way up the Gandy Bridge hill. Helllooooooo.... try using your smaller gears and maybe you wouldn't need a knee brace!

We have Greta and Gunther Grunta (said with Governator accent) They are a couple who mank the most gutteral noises when lifting.

There's the Dog Paddle lady. She dog paddles for hours.

There's Jimmy four-shoes, a skinny white guy with a blond afro-perm and black eyebrows who brings two pairs of shoes to walk on the indoor track.

THen there's this whacko with shaved legs who leaves huge puddles of sweat under the spin bike....oh wait, that's me

I'm In Training For a Triathlon - who neglects to mention to the girl he's trying to impress that he's never actually come close to entering one.

Expert on Everything Triathlon - who will tell you how knowledgeable he is, even if you don't ask.  Usually a MOPer at best.

Faster than Me.  Uh well, most people...

"Stevie Wonder" - The blind guy that always takes the treadmill next to mine.  How does he know it's me, I must smell or something?

"Cannonball Roots" - This woman who is about 4'10" tall and nearly just as wide, and she has bleach blonde hair with 2" of jet black roots.

"Booby-licious" - Self explanatory, but nevertheless, hot chick at the gym in low cut top who does things like jumping rope in front of anyone who will watch.  I'm about reaching DEFCON-4 on the heart attack meter.

"Treadmill guy" - lost his concentration or something and went flying off the back with the mill cranking along at about 6:00 miles.  Sent my wife into convulsive laughing fit, so bad that she had to go to the locker room.

"Ancient Poser" - guy in 60's who comes in, sits on equipment and looks lecherously at young chicks and does absolutely no exercise. (Ummm, no that ain't me!)

I'm sure there's more, but these come to mind instantly.

The paper guy - the guy who reads the paper while on the stationary bike, doing 30 rmp.  Or Sits on the leg extention machine reading the paper.  And he wears sunglasses in the gym. 

Jesus - the guy who looks like Jesus.  Full head of brown hair and full beard. 

The make-up lady - the woman with a full make up who walks on the dreadmill. 

Just to name a few.  Makes me wonder if I have a nickname from others.

I know:

The Jerk: a dude that splashes all over the place in the pool going nowhere and never allows anyone to share a lane with him, regardless of how many people are in the other lanes.

GI Joe: a former Marine that reps 350 on the bench press. He swims for cardio and actually kills everyone in the pool. He's also one of the nicest dudes that I have ever spoken with in the gym. A true physical speciman.

Jose Canseco: The baseball player. Just joking! We have a trainer at the gym that looks exactly like him though. I couldn't believe it when I first saw him.

GI Jane: GI Joes wife. She is not an exMarine, but she is the most physically fit and strong gal at our gym, by far.

The Wolfpack: a ton of former high school football players that just never grew up. They all work in the town, doing menial jobs, and take turns talking about their glory days of high school. Kind of like Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite. GOSH!

and many more dear, dear friends that I abstain from talking about.
