When spouse was in 2nd grade (1961), there were four other kids in his class named John. Teacher decided that each of the Johns would be addressed by their initials

Spouse became JK and never looked back. There are people who have known him 20+ years who don't know what the 'J' stands for

Anyway, once upon a time he needed to carry business cards, and a friend came up with this design (contact info is on the back). I found this in a jacket pocket today and could not love it more

I once referred to someone else with the same initials as "JK" in the presence of a mutual colleague. I was immediately corrected: "there is only one JK, and we all know who that is."

@_the_cloud some HI person grabbed “jk@apple.com” but everybody knows who the real JK is.

I once worked with two other JKs. We argued (kindly) over who got to be JK1, JK2 and JK3 😉

JK1

Very nice.

My wife's name starts with an "N", and mine with an "M", so I made this illustration for our wedding card. 🙂

It's good that he liked it 😊
My brother got his name unexpectedly expanded with his middle name when he started school because there were two with his name. I don't think he was even aware of his middle name (honestly just something that was added to stop a fight with grandmother about her first grandchild's name). He fucken hated it. I think the other kid didn't have any calling name change so it was extra unfair.

@wendynather @zeitverschreib I recently rewatched Buckaroo Banzai with our son. It really drove home how that movie was a love letter to a very narrow generation of a small community of fandoms and interests. I still enjoy the movie, but our son was completely bamboozled.

JKL here; if I were not long past the need for a business card, I’d steal the design. (I worked with JK back in the 80s when I was doing some freelance hardware design for Plexus, and we were all still children.)

Okay, y'all are freaking me out

Nowhere in this thread have I mentioned what the K in JK stands (stood) for. It stands for Kullmann. John Kullmann

Yet you're the second person to somehow divine that the JK on the business card is married to Kim Scheinberg?

[I mean, yeah, he took my last name in 2002, but he was John Kullmann way longer than he's been JK Scheinberg]

Also, Plexus? I was still in middle school when JK was at Plexus. Talk about children, lol. Thx for the laugh

had 4 Rob's in my a-level physics class. They agreed amongst themselves to be Rob, Robert, Bob and Ginger. No idea what the teacher would have done with a 5th...
