I'm not exactly sure why, but we sure loved nicknames growing up on the Mother Road.
My faves, Boxlip Darrell, Moon Nish and Hanky Panky were just the tip of El Nombre de Ree-donk-u-lous-ville.
We got our flattops from Chuy at Bond's Barbershop in downtown Kingman, we had it goin
on. Here are the rest of my fave nicknames of Kingman kids growing up:
Bugs, Salty, Punchy Hubby, Chapo, Spud, Buns, Booger, Chicken, Roaches, Clink, Buzzy, Tinker, Goose, Pistol and Hanky, which was not a nickname but her real name!
Was it the road that inspired such Tom-foolery? Or was it something in the water? Either way our county was awash in nicknames, like this babe.
