Re: What's the Origin of Your User Name?

There was an old TV series called, "Filthy Rich" in the 1980s. Slim Pickens played the dead patriarch who would start every show with a video message to the relatives who would potentially inherit his fortune. His name was "Big Guy." and my wife started calling me that as a tease.

Re: What's the Origin of Your User Name?

There was a TV series back in the early 1980s called, Filthy Rich. Slim Pickens played a character named Big Guy Beck. Actually his character was dead, and only make appearances by video with some new demand for those hoping to inherit his wealth.
Any way, my lovely little wife started calling me Big Guy. I hated it which ensured that she would never stop.
Eventually I just got used to it. So when I needed a road name, that was naturally it. It followed me to the Internet too.

On a side note, Google up some Delta Burke photos from that era. :evil2:
