About my moniker of "Bigdog": A long time ago, I used to work for Captain D's, a fast-food seafood chain here in the SE. Longjohn Silvers had a series of commercials out about that time with a mascot by the name of "Bigfish." So, some of my friends started calling me Bigfish because I am 6'7". Years later, I discovered the line of clothing known as Bigdog. Their shirts are awesome for tall guys like me. I adopted the name because I thought it was pretty cool, lol. Pure silliness. I guess the "Big" in "Bigdog" is because I'm 6'7", 265 lbs. Hey, I should go out for the football team at UT! Still got 4 years of eligibility left, lol. Oh yeah...they want you to be in shape for that. Oh well, it was a nice thought for a couple of seconds, lol.
