TubeNet

It seems like in the last year, there have been more and more users signing up with the name "big" in their name.
Yet, some of the truly BIG guys (Bob1062, schleppy) have wisely opted out of this.
One such "big" user who recently left with great fanfare claimed a height of 5'10".
Is it really necessary to call yourself "big"???

Yes. Incidentally, I am not *just* big. I am *THE* Big Ben.

It's a nickname I've had since I was about 11 years old. At that time, I was 6'1" and weighed about 180 lbs. There was a particularly enthusiastic man living on my block who, when I walked by, opened his window and yelled, "It's The Big Ben!!!"

It has just kinda stuck...

How about usernames with "Biggus"? Thinking of The Life of Brian.

Don't forget Biggs Darklighter! Who else would be Luke's swamp rat bulls-eye-ing competition?

I resemble that remark. I've had "tubatodd" since the very first email account I setup when I was a junior in high school in 1996. My mom suggested it and it has stuck. I've only kept it because of the neat alliteration.

Maybe they're just fat?

Same here. And I'm Tubaryan12 everywhere I go online....except when I game. A gaming clan's thought police decided that the "aryan" in the middle of my name was unsavory. Since then, I pronounce it "Tube aryan twelve"...it give it sort of a Star Trek galaxy sound.....and I changed my gametag to Marzan.

I don't believe I've seen you boys. Allow me to introduce myself.

Name of Daniel Teague, known around here as Big Dan Teague,

Or, pressed for time, Big Dan! Tout court!

Here, we should change Sean's screenname to BigSean rather than Woodsheddin, since he is the big guy of the forums...
