Been "Ding" as long as I can remember . . .
There are differing opinions on why, but I like to think it comes from my last name (Dingman). Some others think it originates from my recent habit of damaging things like sleds, trucks, and trailers . . .
And one time in band camp, uh I mean grade school . . .
One of my friends when asked to name the different kind of bats, promptly replied . . .
regular bats
vampire bats
..and..
dingbats
I still don't see the great humor in that one.
