>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 12 07:33:58 2013 No.3929935 I don't really care when peeps call him Tommy P, but those who think it's somehow clever to call Pynchon "Pinecone" just make me mad

Anonymous Fri Jul 12 07:53:58 2013 No.3929969

I say Daffy-Duck Wallace a lot, and I call Pynchon 'Ruggles', and I've been known to say Old Dostov on occasion, and I'll sometimes call Jean-Paul Sartre 'Johnny Sarcha', but that's about all I can think of; there's also Micky Foucault, I remember, and Old Freddo (Nietzsche). This might just be because I'm Australian, though.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 12 07:56:58 2013 No.3929974 >>3929896 I've never seen him referred to as "Schoppy" and I've been on /lit/ since 2002.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 12 08:02:58 2013 No.3929989 One time I called a highly-regarded Italian filmmaker "Mikey Antonionos" on /tv/
