21cExp

21cExp = Twenty First Century Express.

Express because: I had a van formerly owned by an Express company that still had the lettering, though faded, on it for a long time. I drove it all over America for years and it became sort of famous among my circle of friends. "I can't believe we flew and you drove and you're here in SJC already!" Everyone called it the Red Express, so that part feels like a natural continuation, especially as my new van is almost identical; just ten years newer.

21c is used for a couple reasons: A new start in a new century, and names and domains that start with numbers often show up first in alpha lists online. I may do something with 21cExpress online at some point, whether for expediting or something else. Another reason is that people often ask what 21c is for, 21 cents, or sumpin' else? So a conversation starts and often another friend is made that might not have been made otherwise. And, as y'all will be able to tell the more I post here, I tend to write long as some others in here, and always enjoy a good conversation and making new road friends. :cool:

Are you related to JPExp? I noticed a familial resemblance in your avatars. To me, all you simians look alike.

Heh, yep. That's my other brother Darrel.

All 'splained in my Welcome Center intro post.

Actually, the avatar pic is one the the Black Macaque took of himself. Google "Black Macaque self portrait" . . .kind of funny.

You know that look you get in your eyes that says you've been on the road too long?

Kinda like a cross between the "deer in the headlights" stare combined with that far away "I'm looking right through you" gaze.

Road Eyes!

BigBusBob... coined onto me by James McBride years ago on a national tour. He was thanking the sponsors and people involved to bring the show to the people (as most performers do) and he ended with "And most of all, this show would not have been possible without our bus driver, BigBusBob".

I was shocked, I'd never had an applause from such a large crowd! :)
Well, the band started calling me Triple B, and BigBus and the when I went in and out of the charter bus biz I'd announce myself as "BigBusBob" on the PA system and the name caught on to the point of me writing "BigBusBob" on business cards so people could "remember" me. I have a self inking stamp with "Ask for BigBusBob" that I use on the back of business cards.

I had a 5 day trip a couple years ago to NYC and this middle school girl kept calling me BDB, but she was was saying it so fast I thought it was BittyBee. I asked her on the 3rd day why she kept called me "BittyBee", and she said "because you are B D B... Bus Driver Bob.

I like BigBusBob, because I've driven them for so long, so many places- it seems fitting.

On the CB though, it's MotorMouth. Many say that's fitting for me too. Imagine that? :)
