[CBI_2]

Triple F and I for a while were calling ourselves Cigar Brothers Inc. hence CBI_1 and CBI_2.

[Ego Archive]

Webboards, blogs, and online posts of any kind are just a collection or archive of my thoughts, desires, and conscious self. It just seemed fitting to sign them as the archive of my ego.

Well, the first part is easy since I hand out cigars from CS and others at the Tiki Hut in Camp Phoenix, Kabul, Afghanistan.

What's harder is the 27- Task Force Phoenix is currently being led by the 27th Brigade (New York Army National Guard).

Too easy, a little dull, but what can ya do?

[skinnyblackman]

I actually started the nick name because I had to go to a trade show and wanted to make an impression people would remember. I'm in marketing and everyone sees vp of this or director of that, or insert inflated ego stroking title here, at these shows.

I decided one thing that is absolute I'm skinny, I'm black and a man put the three together and the title makes peopel remember meeting me plus the shock value was great. So I had business cards printed and after 6 years people still call my office or send me mail to "the skinny black man"

my favorite response to date was by a lawyer who read the card, looked at me and said do you relize that this could be a really big lawsuit.

I said it's ok I know I'm skinny, I know i'm black and I'm ok with it.

[Footbag]

When I was younger, I used to play "Hacky Sack". Well, most Hacky Sackers refuse to call it Hacky Sack because that name is a registered trademark of Wham-o. These "pro's"call it Footbag. That said, I've been using the name for over 10 years and haven't picked up a footbag in at least 2.
