Quote from: Santander on June 07, 2016, 04:04:10 PM
Santander is my username so that I can make racist comments and support racist politicians while hiding behind a name that suggests that I'm Hispanic.
I always figured it was because the bank Santander offered you a job in Kentucky.

You are attracted to elderly people and were born in 1854?

That you're 162 years behind?

Yes, we know.

"Raphael de la ghetto" is the name of a fake poet made up by the title character in an attempt to woo women at poetry club meetings on an episode of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"

It is a tribute to the late, great Angus McCloud, pbuh and rip.

When they discovered the muon, Nobel Prize winner I. I. Rabi is famously supposed to have said "Who ordered that?" My work with them often included the number 2.

It is sarcastic and making fun of anyone who actually uses the terms RINO and DINO in anything resembling a serious fashion, as those people are stupid.

For the 100th time...

My great-grandmother's maiden name, which is of an Lithuanian origin.

And no, it's not pronounced Kalwedge.

How is it pronounced? ['kalvejt]?

Ingemann is a old Danish name, but it's also half of a pun, which is why I don't write my username without capitalisation. As for the pun; I'm nobody.

A reiteration of Empoleon was the original meaning. Here and on AH.com I can pretend it means King Napoleon, as Empoleon comes from Emperor Napoleon.

So:

Ohhhh, I see. I remember on AH.com once you said that you were named after a video game character, but I couldn't find any characters named "Kingpoleon" so I was confused.

I made it up based on FUBAR and SOL. Game of Thrones is on air right now and I needed something to celebrate since the Sanders campaign went off the deep end.

It's a reference to an episode of Futurama, where Bender refers to an alien as such. The show, in turn, was referencing Edward Scissorhands and SpongeBob SquarePants.

Sunrise Around The World was chosen by me as a universal greeting for peace around the world, as sunlight and sunrise usually is interpreted as a positive thing or a new, better beginning.

I also love to travel.

Ted Bessell was an actor that passed away in 1996.

As for the display name, I changed it to something similar before an important bass audition to boost confidence. It didn't work.

It's awesome how far I've come musically since this post, especially in confidence. If I were told at the time I'd be where I am now just a few months later, I would have laughed it off. Smiley
