Boney Bones Killer Hopkins here. Or just Boney Bones Hopkins if I only use one of my middle names.
Boney Bones - Let's see, JAC or JAGC. To quote Men at Work, "Who can it be now?"
(Isn't there a Star Trek character named "Bones?")
Muddy Badboy Jefferson
Funny since I went to Thomas Jefferson High School and live in Jefferson county.
Better known as
Babysis "Muddy Badboy Jefferson"
I just love taking these quizes and finding my name, age, sex, iq, etc. Thanks for my laughs. Yours Truly, Crippled Back Jones aka cindybindy :)
Baby Sis - I thught the same thing about my Jefferson and my Jackson goes with Jackson Square in New Orleans. :)
Cindy - Crippled Back Jones?! Ouch, your blues name don't sound so good.
Muddy Fingers Lee. Sounds authentic enough, but 'Muddy Fingers'? Wonder what the circumstances were around the acquisition of that nickname?
Anyway, I like it better than my porn name (childhood pet + street one grew up on). Bobo Berkshire.
**********
Bobo's Blues
Muddy Fingers Lee
My woman gone and left me, say she don't love me no mo'
My woman walked on out again, think she don't love me no mo'
Gal say she's goin' downtown
To see her 'real' man named Bobo
They say this cat Bobo, he got a whip that's 12-inch long,
(spoken) And I don't believe no man got him a whip that 12-inch long
Now my baby got me singin'
'Bout another man's whip in my own song
I'm goin' downtown to my baby before this Bobo give her the slip,
I'm goin' to take care of some business before this Bobo make his slip
I got a 12-guage for his cheatin' ass
And a carbide machete for his 12-inch whip
Inca a/k/a Muddy Fingers - That's great! I'm holding my non-existent cigarette lighter up for that one. You need to quit your day job unless your day job is writing and singin' the blues.
I don't have a middle name. Using my maiden name, I'm Blind Bones. Adding my married name makes me Blind Bones McGee. Very cute.
Hey...Bony Bones Davis here. I am SO NOT bony. It would definitely be an ironic blues name.
I used to tend bar at a blues club here in Chicago. I think my real blues name is something like
Hey Baby Getmeabeer.
Also, Rick James came in when I was working one night and said,
"Get me a Crown, bitch!"
I do love those name games and quizzes.
I am Boney Bones Franklin - a/k/a the future Boney Bones Green of the Muddy Boy Greens.
Hahaha. I'm laughing at the Rick James story.
Sophmom - Anything with McGee at the end is funny, right Jen?
La Sirena - Rick James!? That's classic!
Jen - The Rick James thing is cracking me up, too! "Get me a Crown, bitch!" That shouldn't be funny but it is. I hope he tipped you well La Sirena.
Old Bad Boy Jones...yeah there is no way in hell I am getting laid with that one.
Grimm - Not even the "bad boy" part?
