Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] 2005 PSUBS Award Winners are.....

[Marie-Andrée et Pierre <poulin.carrier@videotron.ca>]

Well, Big is my personal nickname. You would have to see me nacked to 
understand why the nickname... ;)

So when I name the sub, I just decided to name it with my nickname.

My next sub will be named Mannix. Which was my fathers nickname when he was 
in school.

So that's it. No big story behind the name :)

Pierre
