Thanks to Kermit and some other folks, I guess I will chirp in but need to keep names and place quiet for fear of legal action.
First with a last name of Condon having graduated from VMI an served in the Navy, you can only imagine the pet names I had. I too laughed and it did not last long but yes I did laugh. One day a fellow officer called me one of those pet names in front of the CO"s wife and he was called on the carpet for that.
Most of you know I was a sailboat dealer. A load of expected sailboats from a manufacture was diverted to a movie company without my knowledge, I followed that truck to another yard and a young punk 21 yrs old out of college was barking orders. The game warden came over and after the driver produced the bills of sales and title work that were in my name, that truck came back to the lot. There were times when movie employees took out the boats without permission for personal use not to mention all the damage. Demonstrating a 28 on a Sunday afternoon, I nearly was broadsided by one of my boats as all on board were totally drunk. I called the game wardens and all were arrested and towed the boat back to the dock. Needless to say, my customer was not impressed with the movie company but saw how professional I was in handling. He purchased the 28.
One actor was known to damage things if he got mad at the set directors if he did not get his way. I told him after the third time not to do it again. The police acting as guards too had their belly full of that actor and I told them what I would do the next time. well, he did damage my boat again and this time I ran up the dock onto my sailboat, tackled that actor putting my hands around his throat telling him I would put concrete boots on him and throw him overboard for fish food. Another actor who could not stand that actor yelled out I was crazy and then called me crazy dave. Everyone started laughing. There was never anymore damages to my boats.
I remember Crazy Eddie's cars and thought why not and adopt Crazy Dave as my nickname since I have been called Dan, Don, Dunna, Dick, Dweeb and others. It was a marketing tool so I adopted that nickname and folks laugh. I like to laugh.
However, my wife and daughter have put a stop to letting my grandsons call my Crazy G and G is for grandpa. Wait till they are older and I will make sure my grandsons call me appropriately by Crazy G.
For those who know the story, I ask that names and places be kept quiet for fear of legal action.
I agree.
