9 was my lucky number and 808 was the area code for Hawaii, it also (sort of) spelled Bob

So when it was time to come up with my email address I chose Marley9808 (Marley, because I was a huge Marley fan and 9808 because it was my "handle")
Over the years it then began to be used for everything emails, usernames, etc.
I was on another message board for the Marleys and began to be known as "Marley" or "Marley9808" so it has just stayed with me all of these years.....

Marley ... I often wondered where the 9808 came from! Have actually tried to figure it out ;) My sister lived in HI and that 808 thing never crossed my mind!

Doc ... Fixing vintage instruments must be very cool! I can't wait to meet you, and destroy you ... of course :)

Lisa ... When I would tell Gary what so & so said on the board last year, I always said your name "Been Web" (because you were doing the webcasts, duh), until I finally asked you how you pronounce it! Love your story & the ending is great.


Good thread Rina ... Lot's of great stories!

Ours was named after our beautiful little Bengal spotty cat, Hobbes!

LOL Steph!
Guirigay actually had a very clever guess as to where the 9808 came from
He thought it stood for the years that I first went and Ninja and I first went
After he said that I realized it was fairly close.
My first trip to Negril was in 1999 and the first time Raul and I went together was 2008, so pretty close! I would change it to 9908 but that would require way too much work LOL

As the daughter of Jimbo, his and my avitar says it all. everytime my Dad sees a monkey he will Yell MON KAAY!
My Dad is a bit strange.

I have a Bengal! He's crazy!!! I figured your name was just an affection for leopard print...lol ;)

Mine comes from the 10 years I spent as a professional wrestler. I can be easily identified on the beach as I am 6'4 and the size of a OL in the NFL....and my name is tattoed on my left arm with a big black skull. The big bald head and perma smile in Jamaica probably help as well! :)
