In High School my brother picked up the nickname "Sword" (with the w pronounced) because of a hockey team he played on. My brother was a freak of nature on many levels (as most brothers assume of their siblings) in that he was a pipsqueek through most of the growing years and then grew several inches and put on many pounds when he was 18. If you met him now he is a strapping, tall, rugby-playing-fitness-conscious adult - but in high school he was a collection of sinew and veins.
A friend told he ran across some old Conan comic books recently - including some "Savage Sword of Conan" with my name on them. It sparked some memories of comic collecting and then the name "Savage Sword AND Conan" popped into my head.
Migwec,
Ehkosit!
