bfrs is now sort of like xkcd, meaningless. It was the first handle I came up with when HN asked for one. At that time, it stood for Ben-Franklin:Richard-Saunders (Franklin’s pen name). Ben "a dollar saved is a dollar earned" Franklin is the mascot of my passport photo web app (http://freepassportphoto.dyndns.org/).
