Nothing here.
Nice try, though!

If you find this page, leave a comment.  I’m curious to know who has been here.

John Adams bonus!

You found it.

Nobody ever finds it.

Here’s the assignment:

For one bonus point each, find as many nicknames as you can for John Adams, and explain the meaning of each.

If you find one nickname and its origin, that’s a point.

You can do this for up to ten bonus points.

And keep it under your hat!  This is a ridiculously hard-to-find exter cred (misspelled to keep people from searching for it) assignment, and I’d like to keep it that way.

As many of you know, I was out Friday for a Jeopardy audition. Turns out I ended up in the newspaper, as well.
