Back in the '80s, when the crazy comedy shows ruled the airwaves, "Bob & Doug McKenzie" was a pretty popular skit. Of course, being Canadians, they were constantly calling each other "hoser". The shop I worked in at the time had FOUR guys out of 14 named Dave...so everyone got tagged with a nickname. I delighted in calling everyone "Hoser", and a Canadian buddy informed me of what that really meant :0. Anyway, I got tagged as "Hoser, a name that quite a few friends from back then still use when addressing my sorry ***! The "Uncle" part was added later by a dearly departed best friend. I miss those days, and I cherish the friendships.
