What are some Secret Service codenames for prominent figures?

Thought I'd share this with all of you...

Obama is Renegade, that sounds more like a maverick to me!

Todd=Driller
Sarah=Denali (Are you sure that's not a typo? "Denial" sounds more appropriate.)

 

[lisab]

Todd=Driller
Sarah=Denali (Are you sure that's not a typo? "Denial" sounds more appropriate.)

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

 

[noumed]

Todd=Driller

Appropriate name for someone with 5 kids... "Drill, baby, drill!"

Todd=Driller
Sarah=Denali (Are you sure that's not a typo? "Denial" sounds more appropriate.)

With all the foxes and astronomical stuff, I was hoping someone would be nicknamed 'Star Fox'

 

[CaptainQuasar]

Uh, Prince Charles is "Unicorn"? That seems a bit fruity. Is this going to cause an international incident?

Unless it's... oh god, I can't help myself but tell this joke, children, cover your eyes... unless it's that he only likes to be ridden by virgins.

[EDIT] Okay, wait a minute... I was only kidding when I said that, but now that I've thought about it, could that actually be an inside Secret Service joke? Something they might have been privy to?

Have you taken a look at his mate?

Dick Cheney... 'Backseat'? What's he doing in that backseat?

I find it ironic that Bush's press secretary has the nickname 'Matrix'. I wish we had some of these from himAre WMDS real?

If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain

Or

Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions.

or

What is "real"? How do you define "real"?

 

[CaptainQuasar]

Have you taken a look at his mate?

I know, but what I meant by proposing it's an inside joke is that it might refer to his tastes when, ahem, ordering room service during visits to the U.S. As in, y'know, the world's oldest room service.

Do they get to pick? I'd honestly want mine to be War Phalange.

 

[phoenixy]

DAMN IT, John McCain's nickname is Phoenix

 

[LowlyPion]

DAMN IT, John McCain's nickname is Phoenix

Why. You think it should have been Old Navy?

Or Maverick

And Sarah Palin named Goose?

 

[WarPhalange]

I'd say Albatros is more fitting.

 

[CaptainQuasar]

I don't get your username, actually. I mean, isn't "phalange" just the French word for "phalanx"? It seems redundant, something like "War Army". (Though there wouldn't be anything wrong with that, I just wonder if there's a joke I'm not getting.) It's not a reference to the Lebanese political party, is it?

Anything but my nick. Just not the right codename for a loser.

McCain's gone down in flames several times now

Actually it was meant to be a singular version of "phalanges" in reference to finger bones. But I'm incompetent so I figured the singular version was phalange and not phalanx.

And that in turn comes from my friend and I being in English class years back and he started saying words that start with "war" and when he couldn't name any more he just said "war phalange" and I stole it because I have no shame.

 

[CaptainQuasar]

Oh, I wasn't familiar with that definition. It does look as though "phalange" is correct for the bones in your hands and feet, in English. It just comes from the same root as a "phalanx" which is kind of like a platoon of soldiers (and is translated as "phalange" in French.)

And like a true Phoenix, he will rise from the ashes and surprise everybody. McCain '12!

 

[LowlyPion]

At 76 that would be a surprise even for him.

Cindy should be so lucky.

Hugh Hefner would be proud.

All digits (fingers AND toes) are phalanges. One of them is called a phalange. They consist of 2 or 3 phalanx bones (proximal, middle and distal or just proximal and distal).

So...just which one is considered your 'war finger' or 'war toe'? :rofl:

 

[CaptainQuasar]

I think that WarPhalange sounds cool, now that I better understand what it means.
