Re: 8ft Ego
There's probably an interesting story behind the name but I'm damned if I know what it is!

Re: 8ft Ego
The name lends itself to slogans and puns quite well. Some we have used for posters and t-shirts include: Egomania, The Ego Has Landed, Where Ego's Dare. A couple that we've rejected are Egowarriors and Egophilia (we thought the last one sounded a bit dodgy!!)
Any new suggestions will be considered....Up the EGO !!!
