About
So you want to know about Eric McWilliams? Well there is a ton of stories about me that so much that I can’t tell them all here in the about section of this site. Let’s start with my nicknames I guess people love to tag me with them. Well I guess my earliest was Bubba being from Alabama that stuck with me for a while but I grew to be one of the biggest kids for my age in my area and that was changed by the kids to “Moose” then “Ox” then I moved from Alabama to Ohio then California and all of my nicknames left me. But pretty soon after I was in California there was a group of guys I would play role playing games with and they tagged me with “Couch” cause I could do so much time on the couch playing video games. Then after that I moved schools and got away from the role playing games and no one called me anything but Eric for a while but my buddy Jason (J-Bone) Jones did call me Erkl-1 for a while. I went right from high school to the Marine Corps. Once I got to my duty station in Hawaii the Sargent in charge of my section couldn’t remember my last name or didn’t want to and couldn’t think of it and called me “Mc… Mc… Mc “f@#king Nugget get over here”. So since then its been kept to Nugget or Nugs all of my buddies from the Corps still call me Nugget and there are guys who don’t have a clue what my real frist name is because of so many people calling me Nugget. There are a couple of nick names I left out of here but here they are Pee-Pee and Stunder there is other stories behind them that I might post on here later.
