Fig my nick was given to me by my sister in law way back when I was courting my wife. They have a brother named Brian as is my name. Back then a band named "Jethro Tull" came out with an album named "Thick as a Brick" as I was always playing and singing songs from this album (there was much confusion in the inlaws house, when someone called out for Brian we both would answer) she statred calling me brick and it stuck.
