...and besides, master chief is just a rank, how would you like to be called "mister" every time you're addressed?

And it's your connection that's slower than turtle sex.

In........................................................Out .

The halo novels have named him John

Therefore, people started calling him John

Down, down to hell and say that I sent you there...

I came into the world with my legs forward and a woman cried "he was born with teeth!"

"I had no father I am like my father...I had no brother I am like my brother...And this word, "love" which old farts call divine be resident in men like you -blam!-. But not in me, I am my mother-blam!- self, alone."

You Are an Idiot

I tried chocolate ice cream for 21 days straight, I didn't like it so I quit.

I dont like calling him John because I am John and that confuses me...
what's more is i have the nickname "Master Chief" at church (not used to address me all the time, but some people use it).


also my grandpa was a Master Chief in the navy.


So i prefer to call "John" by his rank, "Master Chief", or just "MC" to save time.

because we are all losers who got sucked into the whole halo religion and now we think we know the chief on a first name basis

I think it's because calling him "Death Stick" is just a little awkward. Doesn't really roll off the tongue, you know.

I think "sucked" into the storyline is an understatement for me. I have seen john go from playing king of the hill with his friends when he was a boy to standing on the edge of a canyon watching the world end. Between there i "we" have been there with him every step of the way. So i think we do have the right and good reason to call him by his first name.

Yeah, John is the name Eric Nylund [sp?] gave him in The Fall of Reach. As someone before me suggested, it gets old calling him "Master Chief" all the time (since it is basically "sir") so people like to mix it up. I personally enjoy calling him "Blood Feast Island Man"
