    Kevin Willis - T-Rex

    We always called him that because he was 7' tall but had about a 5'2" wingspan. Looked freakin' hilarious...

    Bread Truck
    the Love Boat
    Food World
    the Crisco Kid
    the Wide Load from Leeds
    Ton of Fun
    the Leaning Tower of Pizza
    the Goodtime Blimp

    I remember some Chinese mis-translations:

    Rudy T: Soup Commander
    Kelvin Cato: Triumphant Spirit

    Worst nickname ever:

    Lester Conner: Lester the Molester
