Damn You ScubaSteve!
I figure I'd better explain the nom du blog...
In case you've been in a cave, Scuba Steve was the kid's Action Figure in the Adam Sandler flick "Big Daddy". Junior year of college, my buddy Greg's girlfriend started calling me that because there were 4 Steves in the fraternity, so she had to figure out a way to tell us apart, and that's the handle that got stuck on me.
Fast forward 2 years to my first real job, working for the man. This dickweed that I work with has a habit of giving everybody nicknames. Seriously, he's a great guy, and we're good buddies, but he DOES give EVERYBODY a nickname of some sort. He picked up on the "Big Daddy" reference without any prompting, and when I mentioned someone else coming up with that, it stuck. Over the last 5 years it got shortened to "Scoob"... what the hell, i've GIVEN worse nicknames, right Skippy?
