I heard that some moons ago, there was a thread called "What's in a Name" All about where the BUSTies came up with their screen names. So, with that said, and some consensus from the Community Forum, I have resurrected the thread. So cats, I suppose I'l start;
When I first signed up with the BUST boards, I was in university, and I was an anthropology major, with a specialization in cultural and medical anthropology, thus the culture portion. The handy part comes from my first and last name. The Andy part was my dad's nickname (taken from our last name, given to him when he was in high school), and the initial H comes from my first name, thus the "handy" portion of my screen name. There you have it. Your turn!
