Around the time I had to create my very first email address I was living in Hawaii and about to start college.
Pagers were the big thing back then lol and everyone had a pager code you would type in front of the number so your friends would know it was you that was paging. My pager code was 9808
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!

I think I've seen you post of FB, and I've wondered who you were on the board! Obviously, I'm a Steph

I too have been pronouncing your name Y P ohhgeee ... no idea why!

I work on and restore Musical Instruments and a lot of my clients call me Doc.....So..being a "doctor" for vintage instruments,,Muzikdoc was born...Besides unlike Katho, the name most of my friends call me, "dickhead", didn't feel appropriate.

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

Ten years ago...
signed in as the newest boardie...Brandnewbie
(and as G/S1018 said...I didn't plan on sticking around except for one or two questions thus the lack of creativity).

Found the webcasts a year later & Rob complained (nicely) it was too long to type...Bnewbie was born & now down to Bnewb.
aka Lisa

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!

[marley9808]

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

My Dad is a bit strange.

[Crusher]

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!
