I've noticed some of you refer to Mike as The Lovester in a joking way I think.
What does exactly Lovester means???
I am from Spain, Love is "Amor" in spanish, so I suppose it could be "El Amoroso"??

Thanks!!!

It's just kind of a joke. Wordplay on his name. Like he calls himself Dr. Love sometimes. It means nothing really.

Yes, it's joke name, but not necessarily an insult. American slang (is this used in England as well?) will add the suffix "-ster" to anyone's name (or a portion of their name since it really only works with one syllable) to imply they represent a personality unique to themselves. It is most often a term of endearment between friends or co-workers, but some sarcasm can be implied as well.

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE used to have a comedy sketch featuring a character who worked in an office next to a copy machine and would drive his co-workers crazy by coming up with increasingly ridiculous add-ons to their names ("There goes 'Roger-roni' making another copy"; "The 'Barnyard-ster' gave himself a paper cut" - that sort of thing).

Yeah, THAT'S the ticket...

I've seen people refer to Mike as "My Glove".  :lol
