Incidentally, the Reuben in my name is because that's what many people IRL know me as, even though it's not my given name.
There must be a story behind this. I remember referring to you previously as an authority on Reubens because, well, you know.... And, you said that you didn't really care for them. I imagine it went something like this:
YOU: "Nice to meet you. My name is Ryan."
HIM: "Hey, Reuben. Great to meet you."
YOU: "Um...my name is Ryan, not Reu-"
HIM: "Hey, everybody! Come over and say hello to Reuben!"
YOU: "Thanks, but my name is R-"
HER: "Yes, we know. Your name is Reuben. He just told us. I'll bet you love Reubens, don't you? I mean, how can you not??"
YOU: "Oh, forget it."
HER: (to HIM) "Boy...Reuben is really in a mood today, isn't he?"
