Lotr reference. The shire is for hobbits which are small and tiny. And everything in it is tiny. So be to be huge in the shire is fanatically clever pun. Because is he huge height wise? Or popular? Or both!

It’s a pun for the ages.
But is the reference to Hughes? Because it’s not really a pun for the ages if the word and the name aren’t even spelt the same or don’t even sound the same.

Where are you getting Hughes from?

"Huge" and "Hughes" rhyme. The soft G in "huge" is perhaps vaguely similar to the voiced S in "Hughes." It's a slight stretch, but maybe it's that.

VeryKniesILike is a pretty good one


My understanding is that there’s no hockey pun involved
There is no hockey reference at all, I considered Hughes in the Shire but decided to do it clean instead.
It is just a reference to LotR about the fact that I'm short, but I'd be Huge in the Shire.

Then I went a step further with the You may not like me but, I'm Huge in the Shire quote
 
Ogopogo would’ve been the HF HOF but that guy was total nut job. Having a conversation with that lunatic was just as horrendous as a chocolate covered onion.
 
no love for @Love?

always appreciated @Zajacs Bowl Cut too.
Oh @Love, you traitor, sweet and cruel,
You made me giggle, now I drool.
Like Patrick Stefan missing an open net,
You’re the one thing I could never get.
I wrote you songs, I baked you bread,
You took my hoodie — then you fled.

You mocked my dreams, my soul, my flair —
And laughed that I wasn’t all I should be down there.
You scoffed at my trade proposals on HFBoards too —
“Your posts lack insight, you offered Ward for Giroux?!”

Like a puck stuck in the corner boards,
I scream “Please blow it down! Put me out of my misery!”
But still I hope you’ll text me, “Hi” —
I’ll say, “Who’s this?” Then shrivel up and die,
You and I are history.

Not name related but.

This board has more variations of avatars than other subject sites. What I mean is there are many more non hockey ones than usual. Was there a contest or insider thing at some point that challenged the norm?
