I'm a bit late to the party but time to own up. Baboou is a takeoff from Peanuts cartoon "Sweet Babboo". A sign at the entrance to our home sez "Welcome to Baboou".
uzj100, when and where were you in Nam? I did my tour "70-71".

am an interloper from the 996 forum but couldn't resist! my user name stems from my car, an 04 Targa (i love cabs but here in the UK the weather doesn't cooperate too often) and my initials. My preferred nickname though is The Earl of Bridgetown, given to me by cricketing buddies (anyone else here into cricket??), but i thought it was too long to use online

I was working on it before you came to the program.

NoSub is the easy part.
EDU = education, which is an institution.
NoSub = No Sub + institution = No Substitute
Lame, I know...

I dealt with it outside of California,--at the government level. Not in industry. But then, that was in the 70s.
