My brother Shaun, on his blog (shaunagintavern.blogspot.com) posed the question:

Is it fair for me to come up with my own nick name? Shouldn't my friends do this? I leave this question with you...

he came up with ideas like MC Shauny Boy, MC Shauny Bee, Shaundiggity, and DigitalShaunDiggity

i say he should be "Diggy Shaunster"
kinda like a bowie-esque alter ego

i can see it now... trained in the schools of Ravi Shankar

all this, just so i could have the opportunity to sing

"Diggy played sitar!"

If you take life too seriously, it ceases to be funny.
