          Kirmit77---

          Used to have a 1984 Kawasaki KX80 that I raced and its name was kirmit because it was green and jumped like a little frog..... and 77 was my race number and the year of my first KZ1000.

                  Name

                  Crusty Snippets is the name I use ( given to me ) when writing an article about anything. But usually sailing related like the dictionary I wrote.
                  I really am a sweetheart and not crusty at all. Just a tough old fart with enough looks and physique to attrack and keep Mrs Snippets who is gorgeous for a skinny old chick.

                  Uncle Crusty, licensed to thrill in 1961.

                    BDF (Big Daddy Funk)

                    Carried this name around for about 15 years now after being nicknamed by a club promoter who couldn't recall my name but knew I was the father of a DJ named Funk-n'-Style.
                    Everyone laughed, and it really stuck to the point where I get called Big Daddy or BDF, more than my given name.
                    At the time I was in really good shape, but I have since grown into the "Big" portion.

                        When I was a child, my mom had her own beauty salon and I was left in the care of my great aunt, who had limited command of English. The best she could do with my name was reffi. Since she was most of the time shouting at me to do, or not do, something, I added the caps. Hence: REFFI.
