| My senior year in high school, I was taking journalism and computer maintenance. In comp maint we were building computers, and I happened to get an old server tower that nobody was using, and brought it back to life. When Windows asked me for a network ID for the computer, I figured I'd use its size and my future college, hence, Big Aggie.
In journalism later that year, because of my extremely humorous wit and charm, I was asked to be on the school's daily radio show. I was searching for a nickname for the air, and once again, using my rather large height and obsession with Texas A&M, came up with The Big Aggie.
Then, when I was creating my AIM account my freshman year here, I tried to get the SN bigaggie. Well, some bum had already taken that one, so I had to come up with something else. Then it hit me, why not add my beloved trumpet to it? I created the bigaggietrumpet account, and the name's just kinda stuck ever since.
