Will The Real Matty McG Please Stand Up?
Just got back from visiting the Bethlehem Walkthrough at St Mary's primary school and this message lobbed into my inbox which made me laugh.
Date: Sat, 24 Dec 2005 01:13:44 -0500
Subject: "Matty McG"? You stole my name.Everyone (sic) single one of my friends calls me "Matty McG". It is a nickname of mine and I love it.
Now, I see someone else shares the same name (I'm not sure if your (sic) is a nickname or not). This is a little upsetting.
What right do you have? What right?
-The Real Matty McG
Ha ha, I can't work out whether the tone of the email is tongue-in-cheek or whether poor Matty here truly is distressed. If so, then all I can say is this:
Tough. Get over it. You sound reasonably young so I'm betting that my friends have been calling me Matty McG for a lot longer than yours have mate.
Oh, and Merry Christmas.

Posted by: gleek at December 25, 2005 01:30 AMSomebody making the first claim to be Matty McG, as you haven't claimed it previously, doesn't mean that they have the right. Copyright is given to the first, not the first to claim to be the first.
You're the real deal not some Johnny-come-lately.

Wondering around I found a couple of Matty McG's arguing over thier name. Quality..! It's a good name you should be proud and united.
Matt McG
Oh, and Happy New Year!
