[jobob]

I would have used jo for my ID but I the system wouldn't let me have an ID with only 2 letters.

Jobob comes from the time when my husband and I were into kitemaking. We used to attend a kitemakers' workshop every year in middle-of-nowhere Texas (Junction, to be exact). Getting into the spirit of the place, our friends started giving out Texas-style nicknames - my husband Lee was LeeBob, our friends were EddieBob, BonnieBob, and ScottyBob, and I was JoBob.

( Coincidentally, I lurk the iBob list, which is a spinoff of the old Bridgestone Owners' Bunch, which is loosely organized around the retro grouch/old school philosphy of newer-is-not-necessarily-better. Bobs tend to favor lugged steel bikes with leather saddles and moustache bars and friction shifters, and endlessly debate things like the relative merits of 8-cog cassettes But my name has no relation to the Bob list. )

- Jo.

Cdalekat, for what it's worth, I used to lurk here too; then I found things to say and you can't shut me up now
