Best/Worst/Funniest Call Signs

Today at work I was engaged with a few submariner bubbas about aviation C/S's and the genesis thereof...... so I implore Ye fellow Warriors to divulge stories, (or just the C/S...and we can leave the rest to imagination). Here's a few I can think of.

Spooge, Puke, Showtunes, Felcher......
 
NEMO (nobody expects much output)
Circum (Last name Seiser)
Double (last name Fister)
Frumba (last name Hines-fairly common one)
 
Personally, I've had the following hung on me at various times:
1. Stupid (what do you call a guy who gets married right before det?)
2. 3-Wire/Magellan (might have been a bit lost and "found" the FCLP pattern at Fentress)
3. Sparrow (dropped 1.35mil worth of em in the drink)
 
To this day I don't know if I'm Mumbles because of my lack of elocution.....OR....the fact that some squadronmates thought that I looked like a gangster?? Probably a little of both.
 
"Sounds cool, but embrassing story" are the best callsigns.

Second best are "Sounds embarassing, but there's no real story to it." 'Cuz no one believes you when you say there's no story.

I just got "Fester" from being bald and stocky. But my dad's was "Gomez" (especially bad cruise mustache on nugget cruise), so that's cool.
 
Overheard two IP's talking about this in Primary, I have no idea if they're real or not but apparently they're the only callsigns that stuck from Primary that these two had heard about...
Tumbleweed - walked too close to the rear of a C-12 doing a runup
Caucasian - hooked up with an Asian tranny.
 
My partner in Corpus got the callsign "Sprinkles"

I was sucking it up in the pattern in the On-Wing stage of Fams in the mighty T-12, constant overbank ("you are not in the T-6 anymore") overspeed, drug-in, angling final, and forgetting to turn off lights with gear up, etc.

My IP says every time I go over 30 AOB he is going to charge me a crispy creme donut...Ens Smartass sitting behind me pipes up with "I want sprinkles on mine"...Sprinkles it was for the rest of Advanced...
