If one is said to be "Ben Hur" it implys that one is a man of small stature....yet a large amount of sexual appeal.
Thus one can never be....bigger than Ben Hur.

Ben Hur is a bus driver from Europe. He knows where to turn by pure intuition, and he always is right. He also drinks pure alcohol, and he also never pays parking tickets in Slovakia. He's German, and the name he uses for cover is Bernhardt.
He also has the power to fly on his motorcycle, reanimate dead bodies, and use the Force.
Stack: Ben Hur, how do you know when to turn?
Ben Hur: Um...Vat do you call it... ... patience.
Roman: Do you mean intuition?
Ben Hur: Ach ja intuition, zat is vat I meant.

Ben-Hur (1959) follows prince of Judea Ben-Hur (Charlton Heston) through his quest to avenge his family after his childhood friend Messala(Stephen Boyd), a Roman Tribune, enslaves him and imprisons his family. The film is nationally renowned not because of its impressive acting, casting, or story line, but because of the phrase "Ramming Speed" spoken a total of 2 times in the film. "Ramming Speed" was used both times when Juda Ben-Hur was enslaved on a Roman naval ship and forced to row. Ramming speed indicates the speed at which the naval ship should achieve and the pace at which Ben-Hur should row.
Husband: Ben-Hur was the subject of my church group for the 3rd time this week

Wife: Its that ramming speed that everyone loves so much

Ben Hur Moment

Missing an iconic event because you couldn't be bothered or just didn't know how important it would be. after the scene in the film where Charlton Heston meets people going to the sermon on the mount but doesn't go with them.
My friends asked me if I wanted to go see Nirvana years ago before they were famous but I didn't go - what a Ben Hur Moment!

Bigger than Ben Hur 

We say something is 'Bigger than Ben Hur' if it is of epic proportions, extravagant, massive, more than it should be.

The MGM film Ben-Hur was released in 1959 and had a budget of $15 million (a huge budget for the day); a gamble that paid off, when it reaped $90 million worldwide.
Oprah is bigger than Ben Hur.

The Ben Hur 

When a nude male grabs a nude females ankels and wheel barrels her; a nude midget fucks her from behind while in between her legs. The nude male that is holding the ankels rests his dick on the midgets head to make him look like he is wearing a Roman helmet. Thus it looks like the midget is riding in a Roman chariot.
Damn, me and two foot Tom gave that girl The Ben Hur last night. He looked like he was in a lil chariot.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
