I grew up riding a big wheel in a very poor section of the south side of Syracuse New York. There was one kid in my neighborhood whose parents were well off had a green machine which was an expensive big wheel. I always wish I had one. Later in life I raced go-karts at the Waterford Speedbowl in Connecticut. I painted it green and my number was 19. I selected 19 to help me remember my wedding anniversary. GreenMachine19. Kind of rhymes also.
Quoted from Bublehead:Well I was a submarine sailor in the US Navy and we called ourselves bubbleheads which is really a durogatory name surface warfare pukes gave us, but we embraced it just to piss them off. I dropped the extra "B" because IRC chat handles used to only allow 9 characters max back in the early days. It also gets people to ask why it's misspelled all the time and I get to tell them this story.
Submarines is why Iām trapped in Groton, CT. Fellow bubblehead. Thank you for your service!
