1. What is your nick name or what do your friends call you?

Well, growing up everyone always called me" House".  At first because of my last name (Porter). Then when I started playing football and rugby, it stuck because everyone said it was like being hit by a brick ____ house!  So House is my nickname. Besides the obvious ones like: Big sexy!!, Hottie McHott-ness, and Big Daddy Gorgeous.... so I will answer to any of those. You pick.
