    See, that’s what I don’t get about this. First, I question its veracity; however, I would love if my kid (I don’t yet have grandkids) came up with and stuck with a cute nickname for me. With a few exceptions, I don’t care what anyone calls me so long as I can recognize that they’re addressing me; and if someone comes up with a non malicious nickname for me, it’s an indicator of a lasting and likely affectionate relationship.

    I’m toynbee, but if you want to call me cheese, that’s cool with me.




  • I’ve dislocated my shoulder fourteen times. Somewhere amongst those dislocations, I had a surgery to stop it from happening again. (It didn’t work.) However, the surgeon apparently forgot to write a prescription for the kind of medicine that one would usually have after having a shoulder sliced open. As a result, I didn’t sleep that night and, as a further result, I read the entirety of a Warhammer book.

    (I’m not actually sure it shows up in this stack; I think it was a witch hunter series. Most of what I remember is some nemesis severing the tendons required to smile.)

    Anyway, I haven’t dislocated my shoulder in a while - whether due to surgery or fortuity I couldn’t say - but the above is all that comes to my mind when I think of Warhammer books. Also, I now have three tiny scars about my shoulder.
