Hardly, “schizophrenic”, the whole Fatty Team can assure you. The need for multiple names is a logical extension of the requirement of a name to capture the entire awesomeness of the person.
Take Elden for example:
Awesome/Fatty/Legendary/Accomplished/Blogger. We just go by his Acronym:
A FLAB!

You say you are blessed, but you are obviously now schizophrenic. You don’t even know what name to go by ;)

@Doug (way upstate NY) We are planning a big Livestrong Texas 4000 event when the riders finally arrive in Anchorage in August. They are an amazing bunch!

I’m still in a daze from geting to meet Fatty and The Hammer in person. (Or maybe my blood sugar’s still high from the post-ride pie gorging.) At any rate, that was the best century I’ve ever had the pleasure of riding. Thanks Team Fatty!!

@NYCCarlos – No idea! I could talk about the Fightin’s all day long!

@Not much further – I’ll definitely be there! And I’ll keep my eyes out for the both of you. (Kristine’ll be there too, leading the cheers!)

The Davis ride was my first official bike ride and it was amazing in every way. Everyone was so personable. Thanks to Angela(?) for setting up the team festivities Friday night. Thanks to Elden for arranging for the team to attend the dinner on Saturday night; and thanks to whoever stocked the team tent on Sunday. Kudos all around.
By the way, Rob shattered his previous record of 12 1/2 miles by completing the 23 mile course.
We will definitely train for more miles for next year’s event.

WOW! What a great group of people you all are! I’m sitting here at work reading your comments and laughing out loud! I had a fantastic weekend, so glad im finally putting faces with names! I’m so impressed by all of you! Ive been blessed in so many ways by marrying Elden, one of the major blessings was being adopted into his huge “Fatty” Family. You guys are great. Thanks for welcoming me in. I’m inspired by all of you in your fight against cancer and awed by the amount of pie that we all consumed! Love you all…Look forward to seeing you all again real soon!

Texas 4000 just rode by the house here in Marin. Big SHOUT OUT to a great bunch of focused young people.
(though it’s only 24 miles from San Francisco and they passed here at 3pm., how late do they sleep in?)

@Mike@Squirrelhead, no thank you for pacelining with us. The whole enchilada next year for sure. :)

@NYCCarlos, I second your idea of people sharing photos somewhere since I took a total of 3 and only 1 of them is sort of decent. :)

What a great ride and a great time meeting you all. Great write up Fatty, and a great speech as well. The fundraising dinner was a great time, and the first 35 miles of the ride was the best time I ever had on a bike (the next 70 weren’t bad, but it was awesome getting to pace with another 15-20 fatties until those hills reminded me that I weigh 210 and didn’t train enough for this).

Already looking forward to next year.
