@galacticstone Brian, my name is Brian
@hubert @galacticstone I'm Brian, and so's my wife.
@woe2you @galacticstone
He had arms and legs and hands and feet
This boy whose name was Brian
@hubert @woe2you - Are you sure that wasn't Mike? I know a Mike who fits that description well.
@hubert Hello Brian. Brian is a fine name, but have you tried Mike?
@galacticstone You're not taking the Micky are you?
@the_wub Only if Micky is short for Michael.
@galacticstone I know that guy. Always making emphatic statements, and walking out, while people called his name? Last name Dropp?
@galacticstone No. I do, however, have two brothers named Mike. MORE confusing, they both have the same middle name.
@galacticstone
I really want to say "I'm Batman" right now. I mean does anyone really want to admit that their name is Mike? Seriously... I mean, yeah it is funny if your last name is Hunt, but otherwise do you really wanna share a name with the speaker of the house, Chump's former VP, and the founder of MyPillow.
@nikatjef Says the man named after MLK's assassin. ๐Ÿ˜œ
@galacticstone my catโ€™s name is Mike (Wazowski)
@LDJ Awesome cat name. Got a pic?
@galacticstone Weโ€™re getting him a little friend soon as our elderly cats passed away, and a contender for the new oneโ€™s name is Sulley (also Monsters Inc. of course) โ˜บ๏ธ

@LDJ I'm sorry about your elderly cats. We just lost one of our's recently.

Sulley is a great name.

@galacticstone Sorry to hear that. Elderly kitties are the best, I loved looking after ours and they were both such characters. Lilo was 17.5 when he passed and his brother Stitch got to 21.5 which was amazing โค๏ธ Hopefully weโ€™ll have the same for Mikey!
@galacticstone @bitprophet it's my middle name, I voted no but I'm not sure I made the right decision
@RangerRick @galacticstone to be fair the objectively right decision was probably โ€œSpider-Manโ€, but hey
@bitprophet @galacticstone I have put 0 points into athletics nor acrobatics, so I feel that wasn't a suitable response for me.
@RangerRick @bitprophet It's the inner Mike that counts.

@galacticstone my parents always told me that if either of my older sisters was born a boy, they would've been named Mike. But they had changed their minds by the time I came along. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Answer: Spiderman

@johnefrancis Over the years I have seen a few female Michaels, but it's usually spelled slightly different.
@galacticstone Does that poll include "#Michael"?
@RFPatterson All forms are included, including #Miguel.
@galacticstone @RFPatterson thanks, I was scrolling through the comments to try and find this answer

@galacticstone I often pretend to be named Mike because baristas struggle to get my real name right.

Easier all around.

@ginoputrino @galacticstone there appears to be a campaign being conducted by a collective of baristas to rename me to Mark.

I have so far resisted their efforts successfully.

@galacticstone no but my dad's name is mike
@nixanadoo All progeny of Mike are accepted here.
@galacticstone nice try, marketer disguised as Mastodon user.
@TheRealPomax You can meet hot guys named Mike in your area, just click here!
@galacticstone wow these guys look just like the pornhub ads I get everywhere!!

@galacticstone

I met a guy named Mike today.

@bjb Now you've met several.... dozens!
@galacticstone @lydiaschoch I did meet a Mike this afternoon. Pirate Mike. Seemed like a nice fellow.
@galacticstone No but I just read that one of the long time members of the humble all volunteer, teaching focused dinghy sailing club who happened to be named Mike, just passed on Christmas day. Someone wrote " A lovely bloke, always good with advice and witty with it. We lost a good one on Christmas day. If the oldest hope is true there's a good wind and a sturdy steed waiting for him until the rest of us catch up."
@scrottie I hope he sails under sunny skies and favorable winds across the endless seas.

@scrottie @galacticstone I'm a long time member of a teaching focused all volunteer dinghy sailing club. I was getting scared until I got to the picture. Afraid I was actually a ghost who still posted to mastodon.

Sorry for your loss.

@mikej @galacticstone Thank you. Greetings from (often but not currently) sunny San Francisco, California, US.
Sorry we're wrecking the world. Some rich idiots got too much money and bought everything.
Pleased that there are a few beloved sailing Mikes to spare and I'm not breaking bad news.
