RnnrBrian (12:30:47 AM): yeah, Dennis PMed me back and told me I can just use Kim. Not the J. I'm not sure why he didn't post that in the challenge
RnnrBrian (12:31:22 AM): Remember that crazy Matthew from the Amazon? did they ever call him just Matt? or was it always Matthew?
"Tina" (12:32:01 AM): Matthew I think
RnnrBrian (12:33:24 AM): ugh, damn. I'm kind of trying to stretch the "nickname" rule...i REALLY stretched it for one so I hope he counts it.
"Tina" (12:34:07 AM): lol
RnnrBrian (12:39:23 AM): Was Mookie's real name "Mookie" or was that a nickname?
RnnrBrian (12:39:36 AM): ugh, sorry I'm asking you questions, you don't have to answer if you don't want to, lol
"Tina" (12:40:17 AM): I'm not sure sounds like a nick doesn't it?
RnnrBrian (12:40:38 AM): yeah, it does...I'll look it up and let you know
"Tina" (12:41:07 AM): lol I was going to do the same thing lol
"Tina" (12:41:20 AM): I need a name ending in c there are sooomany c's \
RnnrBrian (12:41:40 AM): GC?

"Tina" (12:44:40 AM): but what name ends in G?
RnnrBrian (12:44:55 AM): welll.....Greg, and Gregg
"Tina" (12:45:17 AM): buuuuut.... how do you get there? un;ess you start with that name?
RnnrBrian (12:45:40 AM): ummm, well, this is where I started using nicknames. I used "Mad Dog"

"Tina" (12:45:53 AM): ahhh good one
RnnrBrian (12:46:12 AM): Didn't Bobby from Exile Island have a Dog nickname as well?
RnnrBrian (12:46:15 AM): I'll look that up
RnnrBrian (12:46:54 AM): yeah, he was "Bob Dog"
"Tina" (12:47:46 AM): hmm don't remember that one
RnnrBrian (12:48:19 AM): I remember they always used a Dog nickname for him on the Survivors Strike Back blogs
RnnrBrian (12:54:59 AM): ugh, Im stuck on a name that ends in R...and I've already used Hunter and Peter. The only one I found was Jennifer but I can't use that one 'cause of the J, ugh!
"Tina" (12:55:44 AM): r? Rodger

"Tina" (12:56:22 AM): or Rafe?
RnnrBrian (12:56:36 AM): no, it needs to END with R, sigh
"Tina" (12:56:41 AM): hmm
RnnrBrian (12:57:14 AM): this might be another useful fact to help us: Boo is a nickname for Kenward
"Tina" (12:58:25 AM): Oscar
RnnrBrian (12:58:41 AM): OH! Gracias Sherry, you're a lifesaver!
"Tina" (12:58:46 AM): yw
RnnrBrian (1:08:41 AM): THIS website might help as well!
RnnrBrian (1:08:50 AM): words-that-end-in-b.wordover.com/e/
RnnrBrian (1:09:18 AM): it will give you different words that end with letters. and maybe you can use it to recognize the endings of some names
"Tina" (1:09:27 AM): thanks
RnnrBrian (1:56:31 AM): ugh, Now I'M stuck on a name that ends with C.
RnnrBrian (1:56:39 AM): So far I've used GC and CC
"Tina" (1:58:06 AM): that I don't have
RnnrBrian (1:58:46 AM): same. I think I'm gonna have to get rid of my first C name and stat another link thing
"Tina" (1:59:32 AM): yeah I had that problem too
RnnrBrian (2:16:59 AM): oh, another trick I just thought of....you can uses "Boston Rob" as a nickname.
"Tina" (2:18:28 AM): cool thx
RnnrBrian (3:00:52 AM): ugh...I think I'm about finished with the challenge...I've run out of names. You?
"Tina" (3:01:35 AM): yeah I'm stuck
"Tina" (3:01:48 AM): how many did you get?
"Tina" (3:02:01 AM): prolly hundreds lol

"Tina" (3:02:38 AM): go find one more
"Tina" (3:02:42 AM):
"Tina" (3:03:03 AM): but some of mine might be "iffy" I pushed the envelope a little
RnnrBrian (3:03:31 AM): ugh, I don't think I'm gonna find one more...unless I try and think of nicknames.
RnnrBrian (3:04:14 AM): I need a name that ends in T, and a name that starts with N...but I think I've used up all my resources, lol
"Tina" (3:04:56 AM): t names were harder than I thought adn I ran out of n's early lol
RnnrBrian (3:05:23 AM): I know! same here. I've only found the two Nicks and Natalie, I think
RnnrBrian (3:05:36 AM): oh, and Neleh
"Tina" (3:05:40 AM): yeah
"Tina" (3:05:43 AM): and nathan?
RnnrBrian (3:05:45 AM): and Nicole
RnnrBrian (3:05:49 AM): lol, and Nathan too
"Tina" (3:06:05 AM): that's the lot of them I think
RnnrBrian (3:11:26 AM): okay, this MIGHT be stretching it, but do you think I can call Tijuana by the nickname of "T"?
"Tina" (3:11:41 AM): umm nope
RnnrBrian (3:11:56 AM): lol, I thought someone called her that...ugh
"Tina" (3:12:05 AM): tbell ws teresa
RnnrBrian (3:12:17 AM): oh yeah! er, or T-bird
"Tina" (3:12:28 AM): oh yeah lol tbird
RnnrBrian (3:16:17 AM): ugh, oh well, I might as well hand it in. I hope you end up winning, lmao. Then at least I know I was only 1 away, hee!
"Tina" (3:17:04 AM): I doubt it but thanks
"Tina" (3:17:13 AM): we ahve Velva to contend with ya know?
RnnrBrian (3:18:27 AM): oh, so true! I honestly think her or Robb are gonna win if you don't. They're usually the ones that spend the most time on the challenges...the rest don't seem to care that much
"Tina" (3:18:44 AM): I've noticed
"Tina" (3:19:04 AM): Keith and Rudy seem to be pretty much along for the ride
RnnrBrian (3:20:35 AM): yeah, agreed. And Rob M.'s an inigma, I can never figure him out, lol. Speaking of Rudy, I'm surprised Rudy didn't get a second self-vote at the last TC. He didn't answer his question...and I thought if you didn't you got a self-vote. I must be wrong though.
"Tina" (3:20:54 AM): yeah I was really surprised
"Tina" (3:21:02 AM): gonna have to ask Dennis abt that
RnnrBrian (3:21:11 AM): oooh, do you think I could call Courtney "Court"?
RnnrBrian (3:21:22 AM): lmao, nm, no, I answered my own question
"Tina" (3:21:26 AM): lol
RnnrBrian (3:22:46 AM): Dennis will probably just make up a rule for you on the spot if you ask him. That's what annoys me about his hosting style....I sometimes feel like he bends the rules so the game shakes out like he wants it to
"Tina" (3:23:02 AM): yeah... *sigh*
RnnrBrian (3:25:04 AM): and the shitty thing is you can't call him out on it because you don't know how he'll react....if he's in a bad mood, he could kick you out of the game or screw you over like he did Ace and Matty
"Tina" (3:26:02 AM): yeah I get that feeling
RnnrBrian (3:29:02 AM): ugh, well I'm gonna go to bed. Have a good night Tina!
RnnrBrian (3:29:08 AM): er, Sherry!
RnnrBrian (3:29:09 AM): lol
"Tina" (3:29:20 AM): g/nite "gary"
RnnrBrian (3:40:09 AM): ugh, you're gonna be mad at me...just signed on again to tell you right after I signed off...I found two more names. So now I'm at 76
"Tina" (3:40:28 AM): no good for you
"Tina" (3:41:02 AM):
