What's in a name?
Firstly Mesopotamia is not Macedonia, not even close. I mean look on a map … if you can find a map that has one of those things that is transparent and goes over a paper map to show you different things. A good library would have one. A good library !Not that any library “now” is a “good” library ~ now the Library of Alexander the Great was a good library. It was a bit smoky , and of course then it burned to the ground and was a lot smoky and burny. ~ But, back then when you asked for a map of Mesopotamia they had one! Well actually they wouldn’t have . What with time being linear and all that and the way people remember things. They also wouldn’t have a map of Macedonia. But my point is. And this is important. My point is that Macedonia is not Mesopotamia so calling me the “Macedonian” is completely wrong. For a while I tried to get people to call me “So-PO”, but it never caught on. So like the kid after one bad day I am stuck with a bad nickname. At least they don’t call me Stinky! Okay they did call me “stinky” for about three generations but then I infested a general and wiped out their villages. Heh! That showed them! They never called me “stinky” again. Most of them never called anyone anything and leave a body in the sun for a few weeks and then who’s stinky, not me, not me at all! So for convenience sake I am the Macedonian. Currently I am called “buddy”… but to the club members I am the “Macedonian” or “Mac”.
