..... Quote "Hey, what do you think of this? We have Hussyband, Weathermon & MiLady, FredStripe, RastaStan and lots more. Maybe I need a new handle other than Fr. Jim! I use Jamaica Jim with friends back in the USA. Can I claim Jimaica? Or JIMaica?" Endquote
I saw this 'buried' within another thread - most wouldn't see it, so I thought I'd post it in a new thread.....
Come on everyone.... let's try find the perfect boardie name for Fr. Jim :)
Blessings!

I always loved the word Padre, It is Warm, Comforting, Cool (think old westerns) ??
So I say Island Padre (not to be confused with Padre Island lol;) )
That has a nice ring to it :)Quote:

I asked several of the boys if Fr Jim was a good guy, their resounding response was Fr Jim is a REAL good guy! I'm not a Catholic, or familiar with church procedures, but I think we could bypass some "red-tape" and pronounce you Saint James of Negril.
Slim Shadetree
in the service we called clergy "Sky Pilot".....they were very endeared to that......
Love it :)Quote:

IT was good to see the ladies at the kitchen again. Please let them know that we were able to pick up the items and hope to drop off next month when we are back.
I liked your suggestion of Jimaica.
How about Friar Island? (not Fire Island). Or Island Friar? Friarmon? Gospelmon? Of course, Preachermon. Pepperonimon? Just sayin'
Hmmm, "doesalotofgoodforthepeopleofNegilandanallaroundni ceguy" seems a little wordy...
FrRedstripe is too close to another boardie name...
We're both sitting here trying to come up with something, so far I like "Preachermon"
I Looove the sound of " Jim-aica" or any spelling more suitable
Preachermon was the name of someone back in the day.. i like Jamaica Jim or Jimaica (but maybe it sounds too much like Jamaica), or maybe Padre. i'm pretty new to board, but have been going to Negril for more than 20 yrs. will be coming in Sept and would like to ask you a couple questions via private msg, but can not find out how to do that.. can anyone help.. obviously i'm no techie. want to volunteer and bring a few things to St Anthony's Kitchen. thanks for any help
Fr. Jim... Let's go Old School,lol!
FatherJam! Respecting the office and tying in Jamaica!
JamSpirit! Tying in The Holy Spirit with Jamaica!
SaintFatherJ... Just cause it sounds cool,lol!
Happy Travels
Skb!
I like Padre.
Father Jim seems just right.
Jimbo thinks Sky Pilot has possibilities. I kind of like Jimbo but its taken. My dad called me that when I was a kid and some folks still do. If I had been elected Pope--hey, hope springs eternal--I would have taken the name Jimbo--Pope Jimbo the First! As I am a Franciscan I should probably take the name Francis. Well, a Jesuit was elected and took Francis anyway! Slim Shadtree has possibilities but Skinny Shadetree is probably better. Friarmon--not bad! Pepperonimon? You must know that I ask folks to stick real honest to God pepperoni (not that turkey stuff) in those school supplies they carry down. Using that reasoning, Beefeatermon has possibilities! St. James of Negril--now I really like that! However, it might be more suited for Cincinnati or Rome, not the Capital of Casual. How about St. Jimbo of Negrilmon? Stay tuned! --Jimaica

2nuts4travel, you are correct--too long! FrRedStripe is nice but don't want to infringe on FredStripes name--I love it! I'm thinking!
Sanja, I don't how to tell you to private message me--not too good at this. You can email me at jimbok@franciscan.org.
Rastaron, thanks to you and Patty for stopping by the Kitchen. I'll give the ladies your regards and let them know a gift is coming. They love when you folks fuss over them.
Well, time to get Red Stripe, head for my room and read a while. Good night from....ah, ah, ah...Jimaica (for the moment)!
I agree with Big_frank.Quote:

Still agree with Big_frank... :)
How's about Padre Jimbo?
If Rob Can make it happen you can have it. :D On the old board I was Rumting. and can always start over with something new.Quote:

Gotta use the quotes though, makes it more ominous sounding, and gives a sense of mystery to your whole persona.
If St. James of Negril isn't acceptable, I second or third the vote for Padre. As a youngster, Preachers were always called Padre in the western movies. You certainly bestow your (Gods) blessings in the wild west of Jamaica. It just sounds right to me. Supreme respect Fr Jim!
I also agree with Big Frank "Father Jim" or any other that you chose would be fine....because you are THE MAN!
Let's put two good ones together..........PadreJIMaica, just a thought....
How about Fadda? FaddaJIMaica?
Jimbo, you are safe. I would never take your name. 2nuts4travel might be on to something. I frequently hear "Fadder, fadder," from adults and kids. Fadder Jimaica has a certain Jamaican ring to it. Well, this has been fun! We will see. Thanks, too, for the various kind words. St. Paul said it already--it ain't me, it's the Spirit working in me--with the blessed help of wonderful other people. Ah, I added about the wonderful other people. St. Paul didn't mention that. By the way, thanks to Weathermon and Mi Lady for the tip in sending a private message. I simply could not recall how to do it. Have a great weekend everyone!
weathermon and mi lady, thanks soo much for instructions for pm. will greatly help on planning nxt trip.. it's a month away, but have been thinking about it 24/7 since i made the decision to go.. never been during hurricane season.. oh well, if it happens, it will just be another adventure.
peace, love and guidance
like Father Poppa too
Evening Greetings everyone!
This is Fr. Jim's 'counterpart' .... I posted the original message about finding a new boardie name for Fr. Jim. I have just now read all the responses in this thread and I'd like to say that I'm very very very impressed with all the cool ideas for a name :)
So many to choose from... the ultimate decision will be Fr. Jim's, but I'd like to add my two cents.... many like Padre and many like Jimaica - so I'd like to suggest combing the two!
How about Padre Jimaica :)
I've been blessed to have been working closely with Fr. Jim on a few different 'projects' for about a year and a half now, and this has enabled me to get to know this amazing man very well :) I truly believe this name suits him!
Thank you all so much for participating! It's been a lot of fun :)

You are welcome! Don't be concerned about hurricanes. It's a BIG ocean out there and Jamaica is a relatively tiny spec on that ocean. The chances of a hurricane impacting the same time that you are on the Rock are 2 - slim and none. Mi Lady and I have reached many times during hurricane season and have only been affected by one - Sandy last year - and she was on the other side of the island.Quote:

tanks Weatherman and Mi Lady
thanks again.. makes me a little more confident. my BFF will be coming for a long wkend while i'm in Negril. she's never been, so hoping for sun while she's there. I don't mind the rain, but a first timer might.
I really like Skypilot! You could always go with Frere Jacques (Jacques is actually French for James)
At a senior prom at my date's high school the theme was "Affaire de Coeur" and I was introduced as Monsieur Jacques Bok . I never liked the alliteration. More importantly, not many people here speak French! Thanks for the suggestion, though.
Sonja, enjoy the time with your friend--time with friends is a blessing! --Frere Jacques or Fadder Jimaica or Padre Jimbo or Skypilot or Padre Skypilot or .....???
