hmm...
Nothing special about my name for me. It's just sort of a nick that I picked up at work. And strangely enough, I have picked it up at more than one job! Can't quite explain it.
btw, my real name is Randey. (I have some friends named Randy that call me "Big E" because of it) I am the only one I have ever seen with that spelling, (thanks Mom!) but I didn't use it here, cause generally everybody gets it wrong anyway.
I am also known at work as "Mr Wizard" (but that's another story) - but it didn't seem appropriate to use here.

It's these types of threads which make me want to re-register...just for a cool name. Unfortunately, I started my days on HomeTheaterSpot. I believe they wanted true names...so I went with the rules. Now I am plain old KurtisJ.
Maybe I will change to Photoguy (the kids I take pictures of for work call that) or (Jimmy (Olsen) as one of the assistant principals calls me now.) Of course Spidey or Peter Parker would suit me just fine!

My user name is kinda' a salute to my son...but I messed up on the reference, and just continued to use it. So here goes the explanation:
There is a Kids show called Bear in Big Blue House. But I started using Big Bear in Blue House....BBIBH, and it stuck!

If I saluted my son with his favorite (in CA it's favourite?...right Marc?) show in my screen name, it would change every other day!!!!!!

BBIBH ..thanks for clearing your name up, it was a real puzzler. 
polara, as a car guy I appreciate the special looks the cars from the 60's had. Yours has the headlights in the fenders and the grill doesn't it? I love the look, don't tell me there is a 413 under the hood .
At least they didn't all have the same look as todays cars.

Found this old post, and thought I'd bring it back from the dead.
spiffnme = spiff (my bf's nickname) & me
It was one of my first email addresses, and I've just used it for nearly everything ever since. It's easy to remember!
