I'm 6 ft tall and 290 lbs....and my name starts with E..I started as Big E on the old GTAC/John Coop...After the crash, someone suggested Biggie...I added the extra E on TERB because it told me "Biggie" was already assigned...go figure..

Actually my handle is not my real first name but the name of one of my favorite ball players for a time. Who? Here's a hint... had the same nickname as #39 on CBC's 50 greatest canadians list.

Anybody who speaks Arabic should get a hoot out of mine... it's a joke that kinda loses something in the translation.

'Ross' means 'head' in English and 'eyerie' means 'penis' so this is how the joke goes....

(Speaking Arabic): "Ana shouftoo la Ross ilyowmm! Be salim alike."
(Translation): "I saw Head today! He told me to say 'hi' to you."

(Speaking Arabic): "Ross?? Ross mein?"
(Translation): "Head?? Head Who?"

(Speaking Arabic): "Ross Eyerie!"
(Translation): "The head of my penis!"

ROTFLMAO!

(It's a lot funnier if you understand Arabic... like I said it loses something in the translation.)

I'm part of the media and The Truman Show (besides being one of my favourite movies) illustrates the media at its exploitive best ...

Manji is the Buddhist version of the Swastika. Manji (whirlwind) represents (dharma) harmony and the balance of opposites or fluidity of the universe and the foundation of life.

I actually took the name from a comic character from a Japanese Manga (or comic) called Blade of the Immortal. Its a modernized tale set in midieval Japan that follows a girl and her protector as she tries to complete her revenge against a swordfighting school that killed her parents. Pretty action packed, well written and amazing art.

Just want to make it clear that I am not Indian (not that there is anything wrong with that) . I got a few PMs asking if I was Indian and I just want to say I am not!

A joke from my friend was to mis-pronounciate the word "chinese" to characterize me. It stuck.

Pretty obvious. It's what I listen to. Plus, it's what I wanted for my lisence plate, but it was already taken!

I had a flashback of trooping down to the gym in grade school and watching Disney movies. My brain then led me to think of cute Hayley Mills. A little while later I realized Jodie Foster was in Freaky Friday; Hayley Mills was in the Parent Trap. Oh well,... right movie, wrong actress.

It's also more of a statement of my current wish for more of a life... new to TO and work is demanding.

Mine doesn't mean much. People call me Den. Den became DenWa. Sounds like BenWa balls, I suppose.

Your name means 'telephone' in Japanese, actually. Mine's self explanatory.

strongest man in the world. One of the (disputed) labours of Hercules.

Seems to come up again and again in my life. Many years ago, I spent a few weeks helping a friend who quit school in G9, ill parents, to run the farm. Very nice guy, and at 15 he had a full beard so used to pull beer for us. Part way thru the week he says "Wow, I didn't think you'd be much help but you're like Antaeus". Him not being the sharpest tool in the shed, I was impressed with his knowledge of the classics. A few weeks later he killed himself.

Used to be a cologne called Antaeus. First one I ever bought, showered in it, hoping to knock out the ladies.

Once on a long road trip with my car-sick prone nephew I asked him to pick a subject and I'd tell him a story. Who's the strongest man in the world, he asked. I told him the story of Antaeus' battle with Hercules and it kept him uncar-sick for the whole trip.
