One particular family of missionaries had just arrived from Tennessee, a man, his wife, and his three young children, aged 2, 4 and 8. They were gearing up to travel with the nomadic herdsmen in northern Sudan, and the local missionary community decided to throw them a "good luck and Godspeed" party which I was invited to. As soon as I showed up, the littlest child just stared up at me and his eyes turned round. He pointed at me and said, with that southern twang, "Mr. Tree! Mr. Tree! Mr. Tree!"</p> tag:www.thetallstreetjournal.com,2011-05-20:2152092:Comment:44952 2011-05-20T03:56:14.585Z Shannon Kerin http://www.thetallstreetjournal.com/profile/ShannonKerin

At 6'9 and over 400lbs I get them all... Big'un, Moose, Big Foot, etc. Some of the best ones are ger'Ralph (my name is Ralph), Leaf-eater, Wide Load, Poppa Heavy, Big Daddy, Big Dog, Hoss. Sometime I get tired of the constant attention and comments but in all honesty if the attention stopped I would probably feel cheated...

People called me lurch in highschool. It didn't really bother me. I figure people do it because they pride themselves on coming up with other peoples nicknames as if they think they're are being clever. They have no idea how unoriginal they are.

I had a friend who simply called me "Tall Guy" all the time instead of my real name. He told me it was funny. I told him he was an idiot.
