Why "Sluggo"?

The name Sluggo was given to me in the year 6010 by the ancient and honorable order of E Clampus Vitus.  Certain trials and tests were put upon me in a secretive initiation.  Upon completion the name was given to me as a token of respect by my brothers in the organization.

At first I took this name to be a hinderance: the assumption is if you have a nickname with 'Slug' in it you are a lethargic, slow, perhaps dimwitted fellow...perhaps even leaving a slime trail in my path. 

All facts aside, I now hold the name in extreme high regard.  Many good nicknames throughout history are not reflective of a person's demeanor or personal stature, but are exactly the opposite.  This is how I see this name and will continue to use it in that capacity.

What is E Clampus Vitus?  The organization is dedicated to the preservation of Western heritage and historical preservation and remembrance.  I joined this organization out of a deep and passionate love for this world and the mysteries within it.  Next time you stumble through a cemetery and notice a beautifully restored headstone it was probably done by us.  If you saunter into an old building with a historical significance you may note a plaque commemorating the building.  Yep, us again. 

Our local Chapter of E Clampus Vitus, the Doc Maynard Chapter, is taking great steps to take the organization to the next level and make it a household name.  If you have heard of the organization, you probably have heard mostly derogatory references to drunkards, red shirts, out and out rowdy folks crowding local bars with one thing on their mind: excessive liquor comsumption.  OK, not a stretch but there is so much more to the organization that keeps me active in its ranks.


Those that know me know I am not a big drinker, but dammit when I do it I do it right!  The rest of the year and my dedication to the order is in the capacity of historical preservation.  We have some  wonderful plans coming up this year that should take the world by storm.  Stay tuned for updates!
