"Now, this is the story all about how My life got flipped-turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute Just sit right there I'll tell you how I got my epic name they call Tyger."
(Sorry, couldn't resist).
"Tyger" was a name given to me when I was just a little weenie teenie pony. I remember all the kids from daycamp calling me this, instead of my real name, Tyler. I remember I was so embarrassed to be called Tyger, that I started calling myself "Ty" and it stuck with me throughout my daycamp years. That was way back in the '90's. We are now in the 21st century and people are still referring to me as "Ty", until I got my first job as a counselor at a YMCA Summer Camp. I was referred to as "Mr. Tyler" from the other counselor's, but the little youngins' misheard my name and started calling me "Mr. Tyger" instead. At first, I was little annoyed, but then they showed love for my name and always wanted me as their counselor and it really touched me inside. And that's how Equestria was founded. Now, do you want to hear how I got my name?
