I was acting up at a game in '08 and me and my evil lookalike puppet got on the Jumbotron for about a minute. All the way back to the C-train people were yelling "there's the puppet guy!" and high-fiving us, a few days later I signed up.

This is kind of long but this the story of my name. Most people think I chose my name because I enjoy the presence of larger women. But this is in fact the story of how my name came to be.
In Jr High school I went to a school where during lunchtime other students were able to sell items/food to raise funds for whatever school trips or financing they needed. Some students sold candy, some sold crafts etc. They designated an empty classroom for the students and they were able to sell them during lunch hour. Well me and my friend decided to sell doorstoppers. Ancient Eskimo-themed doorstoppers. The day before we decided to go ahead with them we came up with a plan where I was the person who would cut them into shape with my dad's power saw and my friend would paint/color them. That night my parents went out and I took a bunch of my dad's 2x4s and cut them into doorstopper shaped objects. I had no idea how to use a power saw and by the end of it the basement stunk like burning wood and had saw dust everwhere. But I had managed to cut them into shape and I had a big bag that I brought to school the next day and me and my friend colored them in. And I don't mean painted them nicely. I'm talking like we drew eskimos on them with pencil crayons and feltmarkers. They looked horrible. Before lunch hour the principal of the school would make announcements and my friend had written up a dialogue for him to read to the students over the intercom. I honestly didn't expect him to read it since it was so incredibly ridiculous, but he did it.
During my math class the announcements came on and he read ours. It went something like this: "Come join us in (whatever room it was) to purchase Chief Huntingwhale's ancient eskimo doorstoppers. On sale at lunch today and tomorrow. All proceeds to go help eskimos all around the world."
The entire class burst out laughing and my teacher (who had no idea it was me and my friend) just shook her head and went on a rant about how ######ed the idea was. So we went down to the room before lunch to set everything up. Immediately after we set up, some other students came to set up their candy sale. But we had already taken the room and they were quite upset that 2 jokester students selling freakin' eskimo themed doorstoppers got priority over their legitimate fundraiser. We sold maybe 4 of them, as people came up to us and saw how ######ed our doorstoppers were and refused to buy them. From then on the name Chief Huntingwhale kind of stuck around as an inside joke between me and him. And thus my username was born.
When I joined the board, I was a PhD student at the University of Iowa.
Of course... I now live in Calgary, and have no ties to the U.S. (other than facebook friends from grad school), but I kind of like it. Makes me seem.... exotic.
I live in the London Borough of Barnet and I follow the Flames. I hate my name. I'd love for the Mods to change it to something like, Melbourne Flame, Monte Carlo Flame or Kelowna Flame.
Also, for authenticity purposes I'd appreciate it if they funded my relocation.
