Thurston's nickname

Reason #476 Thurston Moore is a worthy personal hero: Classmates called him Lurch in school, and he didn’t mind. “Lurch was the coolest guy on The Addams Family,” Moore said. “Lurch was centered. He was the only person The Thing respected. Lurch was a role model for our times.” Sigh.

incorrectly identifies our hero as 6'1", though.

me and my buddy call him "BDP" for "big daddy phallus". i don't know how it got started, though. i'm pretty sure we were drunk and watching 'corporate ghost'.

just trying to keep this forum somehow sy related...

ive always wanted to ask the same question myself.

In an interview in Grim Humour circa 1989 Gibby Haines claimed that Thurston's nickname at home was 'slug' and claimed it was a typically southern nickname.

Why do I remember this sixteen years later???

my brother's nickname in middle school was Lurch. he was the only 6'1" sixth grader.
