Subject: RE: BS: Why did you choose your nickname?
Weeell...my real name is Matthew, but (don't laugh) thanks to a particular episode of "Home Improvement" I became Mbo, or as it should by written, M-Bo. As a result of this my sisters immediately became Cbo and Kbo. When feeling rather omnipotent (like a cheesewheel) I address my self as "Mbo" or "Ol' Mbo" (though at 20 years of age, the "Ol'" is pushing it a bit. Maybe when I'm older I'll opt for "Mbo Og."

By the way...I just read a Irish folk tale about about a little boy who was 6 feet tall when he was 10 years old. His name was Big Mick (also known as Amadan Mor in Gaelic, but it may prove offensive if translated!
