About how I got my nickname:
I started frequenting my \'local\' in 2003 (Rugby World Cup time I suppose) and was - at the time - pretty hirsute of visage. Allied to my hirsuteness was a general swarthiness and a bobble-hat. Further allied to my hirsuteness, swarthiness and hattedness was an ally of mine, Big Rich. He was also swarthy, hirsute and hatted. Upon ordering our first beers we sat in the window of said local unaware we were being observed by other local clientelle. Over time, and by osmosis I suppose, we became part of that most cherished of fraternities; the regulars. One day, during a retrospective, one of my now fellow regulars said \"Curran thinks you\'re Iranian.\" I said \"you what!\" and my mate said \"aye, when you first came in he thought you and Big Rich were Iranian snipers.\"
The name stuck.
Nice eh! :flame:

Amazon warrior of course! Durr!
Megan (in Japan). Mostly \'cos I realised most Japanese people would never manage \"Heulwen\"! (Frankly, anyone outside Wales struggles.) I quite liked being Megan, and I still have a whole sub-set of friends who call me that. It\'s quite dull, though!

Mine is actually Barstool Prophet. Usually only used in one particular bar, though.
I used to sit in a particular stool to watch the hockey game, and after the first two minutes, I\'d predict the final score. I had a 95% accuracy rate for the \'04-\'05 season.
Only 92% for the last two years, though.
The most entertaining night was probably when my friend James physically threw a guy out of my stool with three minutes remaining before game time.
\"You can\'t sit there, now! That\'s the Barstool Prophet\'s seat!\" Actually, I think that\'s the first time the name was used, too.
I\'ve also supplied several friends with long-term relationships by just pointing at guys or girls (depending on preference) and suggesting \'Go talk to him/her\'.
Of those I\'ve pointed for, three have gotten married, the rest are still waffling about commitments.
I do not look wise or anything like that. I just have good instincts, I guess.

My mom used to call me Bun Bun when I was a wee tyke and when no one was around still called me that for the rest of my life. Bun Bun was a little hand puppet on my favorite show - The Captain Kangaroo Show.
A little older and at a new address the neighbor kids mis heard my name and thought it was Squash - go figure - and it stuck for a few years.
Now, I\'m known as Unk - as in Uncle. I\'m uncle to a ton of kids and their friends started calling me that so that one stuck too. Dont mind this one.

For some reason my boss has taken to calling me \"Big Dog\".
Didn\'t think I looked like Tommy Lee Jones?

I\'ll vouch for them.
Mine\'s Donga, Mr Donga, Big Donga, or replace the Donga with just D. I bet you would have never guessed.
My god-son calls me \'Uncle Donga.\'
Rich Williams at College coined the name by saying \'You\'r nothing but a big Donga you!\' It Grew and took over.
BTW although it is huge, the nick name does not refer to the size of my man-hood. Im 6Ft 5in tall and not skinny (ahem!).
