    No idea of what 733T-speak is? No idea? Of course I know what it is - 733T being code for leet which is short for elite which refers to online gaming language, also 733T can be used for hackers' language. At least that is what I just read online once I looked it up, having never seen it before.

    7 was a nod to the Almighty - 7 being a Biblical number for God
    EAT is easy - my initials, the A being Anthony, an ever present component in any true Italian-American's name
    51 - the number I used on all my softball and basketball league uniforms as homage to one of the greatest American Football linebackers of all time - **** Butkus

    Coincidentally, my middle name is Anthony as well. No italian heritage though. Half Hungarian and and half New England WASP.

    And I like the references. Butkus was an amazing player, and his name is the best football name ever save one (in my book): Bronko Nagurski.

    Between goulash and clam chowder, you have some of the culinary food bases covered. Hungarian, now that is a difficult language to learn. One of my friend's brother lived there, and came to speak like a native. Hungarians thought he was Hungarian. Slightly different than my experience with English. When I started college, the school registered me for an English class for non-native speakers. Then they found out I was born and raised in America. Apparently, Southside Chicagoese was not a recognized dialect at the time.

    Bronko Nagurski, another Chicago Bear (http://chicagosportsmemories.blogspo...erhouse.html):

    Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Butkus is my #1 American football player ever. Watched him play many times. The scary part is that I'm two years older than he is.
