Actually, the screen name is a weird and twisted story.
"Bastavia" was a label of Australian lobster tails we imported, and a customer loved that name so much he started calling me Batavia. The "Ern" part comes from the name of FReeper Delmont's late great goat (or was it pig?) Ernie....who now resides underneath Willy the black steed's stall.
Well, you were right about the splendor of USC, they certainly are head and shoulders above our feeble (but adored) Buckeyes. Watta rout!!!
