OK here is my bore-fest story. Mine is a combination of my first and last name (so no, my name isn't Fred) and then my old hockey jersey number. We all chose our jersey numbers to attempt to confuse the other team (it worked sometimes). Our lineup card in numbers read 59 99 95 5 55 9. Our second line decided to join in that fun and theirs read 68 88 86 6 66 (goalie was still 9, not much confusion coming from the guy with the pads and mask anyway) In full speed game action, you could see where that added to our advantage. My hockey jacket even said "Phred" on the front instead of "Phil". I still talk to most of the guys from that team. And it's funny that we all refer to each other the same way we did back then. Too bad my buddy Pete isn't on here. His jacket said "Junkyard" (he tapped in a lot of garbage goals and rebounds). How perfect that would have been.
So even tho it's not scrap related, this combination has meant something to me personally for a long time now.
