I use my buisness name "Greenworks".. really boring I know but the buisness was developed to maintain golf courses and watching grass grow IS boring Trust me

Mine is my initials. Hey chaikwa, my son graduated from Kalamazoo College last June. There are many people who have never heard of Kalamazoo, or don't believe that it's a real place. I know that it's real, that college got LOTS of my money!

Oh yeah, Kalamazoo is real awright! I'd heard of it but never been here 'til I moved out here a few years ago. Grew up in New England and there's LOTS of differences to get used to here! But I like it, it's kinda like New England was 20 years ago. And when I go into a store out here, the people that work there will say, "May I help you?" and REALLY MEAN IT!

Mine means "the boss" in Spanish. My friends and I went bowling one night and after a few beer frames I changed my name to this as a joke and started trying to bowl like a pro. The name kind of stuck and now it's funny because I am on the lowest rung working for my moms company. I suppose I could climb the ladder if I wanted to but it may interfere with my professional student lifestyle!

I went in to a business with a freind of mine when I retired. The business was weather sensitive. For the first year it rained a lot and business was off as well as profits. He started calling me the rain man for laughs. I thought there was some humor in that so I picked it up and use it on all sites that I am a member of.

Simple is as simple does.

Years ago when I first started to use the internet and signed up for service I needed to enter a user name. After trying several names that I wanted to use, but was unable because they were already taken I had to figure something out. So as I sit there picking my brain I took the mic from the micron computer I had and the 646 was the last three digits of my employee number. Since then it has stuck with me.

At least no one else had it.

My truck is big and blue. Hence BigBlue. I'm to simple minded to come up with anything complicated.

Mine is a play off of my last name and the fact that at work I settle alot of problems John Wayne style. One of the older guys started calling me that after I handled a few altercations in short order. I don't put up with any garbage. (was trying to figure out the PC way of putting it)
