-I was once told "you are a giant, but you're not friendly".
Allow me to explain, I do not now (nor have I ever before)
pretend that I am what you would call "friendly". No sir,
I may not like hugging, I probably don't remember your phone
number and may not like to talk out loud. With that said,
I would like to make it abundantly clear that the name "Friendly
Giant" was never supposed to be some sort of nickname-like spoof.
It was a name which derived out of an undying respect for, and
a desire to preserve the legacy of, the Canadian icon The
Friendly Giant as seen on your T.V. in the mid eighties.

-Secondly, listen to Friendly Giant Radio on W.L.S.O.

is on the way. Radio listeners will be the first to know.

Giant Radio live on the web by visiting
Lake State Campus Radio on the web.
-Among other gnarly things, the Friendly Giant is now
home to the "Find-a-Date" message board. A splendid
way to find satisfaction.
