Hey ShinerBurke, I always wondered if that referred to the beer. I discovered that stuff while going to a 1 month school at Lackland AFB, San Antonio. Shiner Bock is one of my all-time favorites. Several years later when I moved here to the Florida Panhandle I found that the Class Six carries Shiner which made me really happy as I can keep my fridge stocked. I happen to be drinking one right now. Mmmm smooth
Anyway, I got my nick in college... my first name is Lincoln and all of my roommates and buddies said I wasn't quite there... something was missing.
Funny how that name followed me later on my first assignment in the USAF. Several of my coworkers, thinking they were original, had drawn the same conclusions and nickname for me. I am pretty sure none of them talked to any of my old college buddies.
Long live the Spoetzl Brewery!!
