Names have been changed to protect the conceivably innocent.

The Dude - "Gisele is coming by right away to pick me up."
Paul - "Who?"
The Dude - "You know, Gisele Stevens."
Paul - (long pause) "OH! Table for Eight."
The Dude - "Yeah, sorry, Table for Eight."

This conversation took place in all seriousness. Paul's circle of friends is so huge that there are always tons of Jenns and Pauls and Johns etc. So nearly everyone has a nickname. And these are not casual nicknames, these are names that they are virtually always called,they are listed in people's phone lists this way etc. Included are...

Keef
Steve-O
Replacement David
God Scott
Table for Eight
and my personal favourite - Captain Save-A-Ho
