    I went through a bit of a rough patch around 20 years ago and a friend told me not to worry. He said, "You may always feel like the underdog, but you never give up; you'll be fine." He was right. Anyway, Subcanis is Latin for "Underdog". Since the term didn't really exist when Latin was spoken, there wasn't actually a translation for it, so I recruited a team of scholars on some Latin language chat room and received back a bunch of possible translations. I picked Subcanis, because it literally would have meant "Lower than a dog" which would have been a pretty insulting thing to say to someone in ancient times. The irony still makes me laugh. Needless to say, I had it tattooed on my arm to remind me never to give up.

    Holy moly, been 4 years, and this thing is still going on strong. This will inevitably get buried by new interesting posts, but I like checking in now and then. HF is a great place, enjoy it.

    Worked as a meat cutter for a grocery store chain many many years ago. It is a extremely production oriented job and while it seems rare these days your ability to cut faster than the other guy was a source of pride and mostly good natured competition. One day I had our part time kid so buried in racks of meat to wrap that he said "Why do you always have to be such a spaz-m-taz?", in exasperation. Afterwards he shortened the name to Taz and it took off with the other folks at work. After a particularly violent shoplifting incident where I fought 3 dopes in the parking lot while the kid stood there and watched. He later told the cops and store manager that I went into those guys in a whirlwind and he was afraid to enter the fray because I was a maniac and he thought I would hurt him by accident. The kid then referred to me as the Tazmaniac from that point on while others just stuck with Taz. Thirty years later, I still have Taz themed item that people have given me for gifts. Obviously, I am slowed down quite a bit, don't work in groceries or club security anymore and haven't been in a fight for about 17 years.

    bubba and mancub were a couple of the nicknames my family used to switch between. It's also my gmail account name and I was 13 when I made it. Still looking to be blessed with a proper trail name though, so bubbamancub13 I will stay for now.

    It is an animal that lives in the ocean and doesn't have a skeleton.
    I've been stung badly...very badly, and I now have more respect for nature.
    Also, the screen name was available and I tried about 15 other things before I found something that wasn't already taken.
    I sew things on youtube.
    I don’t sew on commission, so please don’t ask. Thanks.
