I thought I'd told this story elsewhere but don't remember exactly where. We might have had a thread about it someplace, but it looks like it's buried. Which means that a new one is probably in order.
Mine's one version of a college nickname that went through about 7 permutations involving a mispelling of my real name at an indoor track meet coupled with Will Smith's populatity. It originally was Jazz Viner (who placed 3rd in the 1000M while I was dead last; injuries and the wrong distance did not make me a happy guy) but eventually evolved into The Jazz by graduation.
This is one of only two forums where I use this name. Everywhere else, it's one of 3 or 4 others.
