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!

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!
