There's a funny story behind my Hog name; it wasn't my first choice. I was in a political frame of mind when I applied, and Dr Seuss's "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish" popped into my head, except I substituted Pig for Fish. The problem was that I got the Republican and Democrat colors confused, so I asked for "Blue Pig" instead of "Red Pig".
So, once I realized my error, I sent a follow-up email asking to change my request; just before receiving word that I'd been approved as "Blue Pig". At that point, I decided that I'd been too clever for my own good, so I contacted Amy again -- she said that she liked my alternate name, JimBoar, better -- I agreed so was re-christened (my family calls me Jimbo, so just add "ar" as a suffix, and there you go).
To make a long story just a bit longer, about this time, Jerry responds back that "Red Hog" was fine with him. So I apologized for the confusion, told him about the discussion with Amy, and soon received a final email from Jerry:
Jim Boar it is. . .
Let's drink !!!
Jerry :-)
