Dave or David...which is better?

sirhensley — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 13:35:11 -0800

Dave or David? Is there a difference in your perception? I have been on a lot of interviews lately and have been constantly asked if I prefer Dave or David. I have really never had much preference. I do notice that my family tends to call me David while friends tend to refer to me as Dave.

I am wondering though. As a individual in a leadership position is it better to go by one or the other? Does one command more respect?

What thoughts come to mind between the two names?

Thanks,

Dave (or David)

Wish I had half a donkey suit...

Looking for a Dave Chappelle clip: Hi All,

I am looking for a Dave Chappelle Clip from one of his shows. I cannot remember if it was season 1 or 2. He is on a stage and has half of a donkey costume on. He is doing some goofy dance humming "dodododododdo" and shaking his finger above his head. So far my google fu and kung pow youtube has failed me. Please tell me I didn't dream this skit up.

Dave Grohl vs. Nirvana

Has Dave Grohl made more money from the Foo Fighters or Nirvana? I think in the long run he will make more money from Nirvana because Nevermind will always sell a lot of copies, for decades. But at least now, I feel like between record sales, song writing, touring, etc... that he has made way more money as a Foo Fighter. How would I figure this out?

Anyone out in the hive have any experience with Dave Ramsey's programs? I have been reading his Total Money Makeover book, and it seems to make sense... Thoughts?

Anyone know where I can find a clip of Andy Sansone attempting to perform on The Late Show with David Letterman on August 21, 2006? I thought it would be easy to find on YouTube or Google Video after my hearing he had flubbed his routine, threw down the microphone and walked off stage. ...and if so, do you think publicity stunt or genuine Must See TV? Here are a couple threads dealing with the incident.
