Studio Nicknames and why...

*Sabumnim Man Cub (Alex)- Alex is Man Cub because thats what Alicia always called him. We don't really know why, but thats just the way it is.

*Chokunim Tree/ Franz (Raystan)- Raystan became Hoksanim Tree during the summer when we were all extremely early to SWAT team. So what did we do? Chased each other around of course! We started by chasing Chandler out the door, tackling him, then bringing him back inside the studio.
"Chase me next!" somebody yelled. So we then proceeded to chase them out of the studio and bring them back. Each time somebody would get further than the one before, but we always got them back.
"My turn!" Raystan announced, then turned and ran out of the studio. We chased him only to find him almost right outside the door standing straight and holding his arms bent and up at different levels. We all stopped and looked at him. "I am a hairy tree." he informed us.
"How are we supposed to get him back in?" asked Chandler.
"I don't know..." I said. We all just stood there staring at him. We then all tried carrying him back to the studio, but he was too stiff to pick up. Then I got an idea. "Come here tree!" I said as if I were talking to a dog. "Come on!" Raystan started hopping towards me. "Good tree! Keep coming!" I backed up closer to the door as the tree hopped towards me. Everyone else joined in as well.
"Here tree! Here"
"Who's a good tree?"
Therefore he was Hoksanim tree, but he got promoted, so now he's Chokanim tree.
Franz is because when he wears his elite team jacket with his bleached hair he looks like a German snowboarder.

*Chokanim Treasure (Trevor)- Sometimes people slip up on his name and accidentaly call him treasure. Therefore, Chokinum treasure. Also, he's special! But not he ed kind.

*Chokanim Fluffy (Chandler)- In boot camp Chandler was being wimpy and wouldn't do all of the workouts. "Come on Chandler!" I said, "You're steel! STEEL!!"
"I'm not steel!" he whined, "Trevor is!"
"Well, so are you!" I urged him.
"I am not!" he responded out of breath. "I'm cotton!!"
"So, you're not hard, you're fluffy?" I asked.
"Yeah! I'm fluffy!"
Behold, Chokanim Fluffy.

*Hoksanim Water Fetcher (Linnea)- Linnea wanted a cool jungle book name like Alex and asked if she could be the girl who is singing "and I will go and fetch the waaaateeer..." None of us objected, but we didn't know the character's name. So she just became Water Fetcher. Awesome, right?

*Hoksanim Elmo(Tim)- Tim was 'Elmo the Red' for the chanbarra tournament and dressed up. He painted his face red and put ping pong ball half on his forhead for eyes. It was the creepiest thing ever! Then he talked in a creepy elmo voice all night.

*Hoksanim Bambi (Braden)- Braden has the perfect Bambi eyes.

*Howler Monkey (Noah)- Thats what his Kiop sounds like.

*Coconut (Kalon)- If you look at the top of his head at the right angle it looks like a coconut! I don't know if he appreciates the name, but it is entertaining!

*Brick King (Ethan)- When you throw him and he lands, it sounds like a pile of bricks landing on the ground! Seriously! Whenever we hear him fall everybody yells "BRICK KING!"

*Feasting Man (Jesse)- Jesse loves to eat, and he eats all the time and is always hungry. On his CSI shirt for summer camp his kanji said "feasting man".
