Well, apparently, my roommates, upon thinking up nicknames for everyone, decided to name me . . .
. . . get this . . .
"Tex"
What in the world?! I am like the least Texan person ever!? But they aren't budging on it, no matter how much I plead.
So, here's the deal . . . if anyone would like to spearhead this . . . I would be forever grateful. :)
They have agreed if I get one hundred (100) actual signatures on a petition to change my nickname, each with reasons why I am most definitely not suited for being stereotyped with Texas, and a suggestion for another nickname, then they will stop calling me "Tex".
Please.
Help me.

OK, I'm sure I'm not the first in line for "cool nickname maker-upper" candidates, but you are now, and forever will be Schmitty and only Schmitty, no matter what they say. Curly Kris was awful, I admit, but please remember I did NOT start that. I'm sure that my better half would agree with me on Schmitty. Here's my reason - No guy named Tex would ever have dreds. Personally, I love the dreds. They're just not Tex-y.
Good luck!

Don't you worry...we'll make it happen! I think I know of at least 100 people willing to sign a petition for this worthy cause (and full of good reasons why you are definitely NOT a "Tex"). I think all 100 of them would agree that you are a "Schmitty". My goodness, if I can stand at the pulpit and actually ask for "Schmitty" to come and play keyboards during the ministry time at the end of a worship service, there's got to be some validity to that nickname.
Only one problem, you may have to endure "Tex" for another week or two, because I'm getting married tomorrow and heading out of town for a week. And although this "petition thing" is certainly an important cause, I think I'm going to have some other stuff on my mind while I'm away. But I absolutely promise that I'll take care of it as soon as I get back home. Hang in there man, this persecution will be over soon! :)
Your "Texas" Pastor
Dude, okay...listen! Texas is the place to be and I think it is time that God fully deems you as a Texan. You should own up and put on that Cowboy hat, Tex.
Welcome to the Wild West!
im a big fan of "yanni master of the pan flute" although that was pre dreads. so maybe pablo x which you've had over 800 students calling you that. or how about "that guy that named his band after himself but still argues that he didnt when its totally obvious to everyone else that he did" i dont know theses all sound better than tex. tex totally disregards your connection to the truly best state California. you will notice there is only one word capitalized in this comment because its just that great.
"Curly Kris" was first spoken by Evyn Decker. When your hair changed that nickname vanished, lucky for you. Quinton and Stasia have deemed you "Schmitt-Dog". It has a nerdy gangster ring to it. Curt is way off! I have never seen, and hope to never see, a cowboy with dreds. If he exists he keeps himself hidden better than the legandary Bigfoot because he knows what the other real cowboys would do if they saw him.
Don't worry! I got yo back dog!
Just because Pastor is using getting married as a lame excuse for skipping church dosen't mean that I can't do a little petition thing at church for you.
Here, just to leave you in the nerdy gangster spirit let me break it down for you!
Yo, Schmitt-Dog! Don't sweat it cheese-wiz. We will catch ya on the flip-flop at hlaf time yo!
Yo! And for good measure...Yo! Yo! Yo!
PJ out Yo!
Okay guys, This reply is coming from a real Texan who loves his state, and I don't even go by Tex. Schmitty cannot be called Tex, it's not only ludicrous but it's ridiculous. Who in there right mind would call anyone with dreads Tex. Whoever thought that up is smoking something. Just say the word bro, and I'll bring my rope.
You are the last person on earth I would call Tex. Absolutely no way.. You are very loved & missed.
Your second Mom (or 3rd or 4th whatever!)
