I once knew this guy a long, long time ago who could launch into a lecture at a drop of a hat. Recently, HLP (Heterosexual Life Partner) and myself got talking about this guy, and another friend of mine said, "Yeah, he's a real well, actually type of guy." That's
exactly it! He can well, actually the shit out of whatever you say to him. There are so many speeches that could be avoided by just a quick anecdote, and he doesn't even come up for air to give you that window to divert the subject away - and what good would that do because he's only going to hit you with a discourse around the next turn?
Ugh!
In any event, thanks, buddy for nailing the perfect nickname for him.
How about you, Seven Readers? Do you know anyone like this, or do you know any other good nicknames for someone similar or all together different? Well, actually, I knew a guy when I was a little kid who told such fantastical stories that we called him
Teddy Ruxpin, the story-telling bear . . .

I call those people "Pains in the Ass." Seriously, it's awesome to be so knowledgeable about a lot of topics, but they need to learn how to read a damn room.
And yes, I know quite a few people like that, but there aren't any good stories to accompany.
You could call him Antoine Dodson. Oh, but he said, "Well, OBVIOUSLY, we have a rapist here in Lincoln Park." Actually, obviously. Whatever.
we semi-jokingly call one of my friends "stale buns" because he has abs that feel like a stale pack of hamburger buns...i'm occasionally called The Sheriff because i was the crowd control and mood enforcer at my college apartment parties, as well as the reference to Always Sunny...
you couldn't spend more than 2 hours with my group without getting a nickname
