Fun fact about me:

My childhood nickname was Space Cowboy.

It was because I wore cowboy boots, swimming goggles, & a red cape AT ALL TIMES.
When I outgrew the boots I would cry because they hurt my feet but I refused to take them off still. My parents got me some Toy Story boots & I wouldn't wear them because "they weren't the same boots". Apparently I only liked the real deal cowboy boots 😂 so my uncle went & paid a few hundred for a new pair for me. Then I continued being Space Cowboy 😎

The family likes to remind me sometimes still even now as an adult 😂

Geez, that came out back when I was in high school. We were all trying to figure out what "pompitous" meant. 🤨

@bijouxbroussard what's it mean? 😅

@bijouxbroussard I looked it up several years ago. It was borrowed from another song back in the '50s that had a spoken lyric part, and the singer basically made up words that sounded impressive to him. One of them was the "puppetudes" of love, which Steve misheard as pompatus.

@ChiefJustWalks Honestly, we never knew.
@LordShadowfire That makes sense. 😄
