So New Years eve, Alan and I had ran to the grocery to get stuff for dinner. We were meandering around the organics section looking at juices and stuff and out of no where, these guy pops up from behind one of the shelves and says "Hey...you're that tomato guy from the farmers market..." and Alan of course says yes...The guy then runs back to the end of the aisle and yells at his wife..."I TOLD YOU IT WAS HIM HONEY!!! I TOLD YOU..." and then the couple procedes to tell us how they were looking forward to our tomatos and stuff this spring etc. It was just funny. Alan is becoming something of a celeberty in our community. He's referred to as the "Tomato Guy", "Worm Guy", "Weird Produce Guy"...Etc.

I was known as the "goat lady" when I was the only one with goats. But then this other woman moved down the road. Everyone calls her "crazy goat lady". She keeps all these animals in a very small pen. Now I am called "pig lady". So tomato guy ain't so bad.

Kimi, This is a Good Thing! Alan's making a name for himself and I agree with the others, it could be a lot worse, lol

Heh, I'm known as the "Tomato Guy" on our street too. Well, actually they usually precede that with something like "Lunatic", "Goofball" or "Weirdo"....

Amoungst my many a.k.a.s such as 'The homeschooler' and 'the mother of the little girl with the really long red hair,' I'm also known as 'ask her, she knows a lot about gardening' and 'Crazy Plant Lady.' The other day, one of my neighbours introduced me as 'She's got a gardening blog' before even telling them my name.
Hello, my name is Telsing - unusual but easy to say. Actually I love it, bring on the gardening talk.
Pig Lady - nice. I guess it's moderately better than 'crazy goat lady.'

Agreed there are worse things. I thought it was cute myself. Albeit hysterical that the guy squaled at his wife who was just about 10 feet away.lol!

Tomato Red pants with matching Tomato Red shirt! It could become his signature color. Paint the trucks, cars, tractors, house, everything (but you Kimkat) Tomato Red! Think of the fun, the nightmares, the stay in the funny-farm.

I've been called the Poo-Poo Man. That's from always having a pickup load of Poo-Poo. That reminds me. I may have access to a humongos pile of LLAMA Poop. I need to call that guy.
