Okay... just posting to make things a bit clear on my handle. Please don't take it as a "racist" name. I just like to poke fun at myself. >)
Alright, so I got the nick a while back when I got voted onto the highschool student council. Everyone on the council had a nick and I took it upon myself to be "ChinaMan"... since Chinese Guy (over 60% of my HS was chinese and it's just too hard to remember names, cause honestly, we all look the same), or Hong Kong dude (doesn't apply 'cause I was born here) didn't seem to flow. Juksingjai is just something that ppl didn't really understand so that didn't work. ChinaMan just flowed... hehehehe.
"Not a ChinaMan's chance... " - some chinese dude on the boat in the movie Dragon - the Bruce Lee story
Guess I'll have to take my chances. >)
The name just stuck.... but I've noticed that american boards really take this name a little too personally. Canadians on the other hand don't really seem to mind. A handle is just a nick, right? no biggie. Here's a conversation I had on another american board:
Some Idiot: Hey Chinaman, you sank our ship @$#ho.
Me: Huh? What are you talking about?
SI: You sank our navy ship in the South China Sea... you communist bastard.
Me: What the... omgosh you're blaming that on me?... you need to get a life, dude.
Yea... and so the games went on. Canada, I like it here.
Whoops, am I going off topic here? crap... >)
