Ok, Ive decided enough with all the wise cracks about my name as Spartan.. I know all the connotations and jokes, and its getting old.

So I am about to re-register under the name Pig Vomit. Hopefully all the mockery will stop.

Thank you kindly,

Pig Vomit

I didn't even get my digs in! I went to high school in Sparta, Wisconsin. Yes, I too, am a Spartan.

Really? The Greens?? That is so weird. What was the last names of the people getting married? Wow, I'm so shocked. How'd you know them? You saw the town - not exactly big.

My guess is that Spartan was just kidding.. isn't it ironic he'd change his name to pig vomit to bypass the scrutiny???

sorry to say, I dont know many details cause I just tagged along with my friend who I was staying with (she lives near Cashton). It was actually just a reception cause the people had their wedding ceremony in Hawaii... I think... somewhere islandy anyway. it was early july last year... I wish I could remember their names.... to be completely honest with you we mainly went for the food...

back to the topic at hand... do whatever you want, Spartan... Pig Vomit sounds like a fun name, shall we call you Piggy or Vomit or PV for short??
