    Brown Bear is the name of my teddy bear from childhood. I found him stored away in my basement not too long ago and took a picture to email my brother for a laugh.

    Around the same time, I joined this Forum and said "what the hey...let's keep BB's memory alive"

        I named myself stretchandro after the Japanese version of the stretch monster made by Kenner, I was told that the writing (in Japanese) on the box translates to Andro, I thought that was cool as friends called me nicknames like Android and andro was also a character from the old Outer Limits tv series. Unfortunatly there was a member a while back who called himself "mego stretch hulk" and all he talked about was...mego's stretch hulk lol. Hope nobody lumps me in with him, I like lots of toys not just stretch ones. oh well, just call me andy or andro if ya like.

          My user name comes from my character name in the ST fanclub I belong to. I liked the character Thadiun Okona from the Next Gen episode The Outrageous Okona, so I named my character after him. I also use that name on all the other boards I'm a member of.

            From the opening of the Adventures of Superman - "Yes, it's Superman, strange visitor from another planet, with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men...". The original from which all other superheroes spring from.

              Don't worry about the stretch hulk guy tainting you. That guy was a bit too much into the stretch hulk, wasn't he?

                  It's a combination of one of these two Synonyms. I'm just not sure which yet....

                          just a nickname.

                          My name is Chris Censullo. I have a few friends also named Chris, so we call each other by our last names, or an abbreviation of it.

                          There are quite a few Chris' on this board too. It must have been a wildly popular name in the late 60s early 70s.
