Title: Jim James real name
Post by: Jellyfish on Jul 18, 2005, 02:14 PM
I was speaking to a friend of mine that went to high school with Jim and he told me his real name was Jim Olliges.

This was prolly posted before but it was news to me.

Yeah, I remember talking about that somewhere...  I even managed to get the proper pronunciation (I asked people to spell it phonetically).

I'll see if I can find it for you...

(If I remember, it's "aahhhliggez")
(with a hard g)
(anyways...)
