I prefer the Leprechaun.

I'm kind of fascinated by Apple Tree Man. Though Melsh Dick might be an interesting sell, especially in Asian countries.

I like Apple Tree Man, we have same mind bro

 

[KuroKitsu]

Jack and Dean just taking notes right now while we post.

I prefer the Aztec names

 

[olddude]

I like them, too, but they are a bit hard to pronounce. I've got students with Mexican Indian names and it takes a bit to get them right.

While Apple Tree Man...... though it translates to Píngguǒ shù rén in Chinese, which isn't quite as elegant. Or maybe it is.

I would definately upgrade my Legend X to Apple tree X man.

 

[proedros]

i would go for pornstar names

Jenna
Asia
Gina
Lynn

endless possibilities

 

[doctorjuggles]

They should give it for free to anyone who can pronounce it!!

We actually stayed in a log-cabin type hotel at the foot of this volcano the first time I visited Iceland, not very long after it grounded hundreds of flights. When we collected our rental vehicle and the guy working there found out where we were staying, he taught us to pronounce it. Sounds nothing like it looks to the English-speaking person's expectation!

I'm sure my free IEM is already on it's way to me

 

[Jack Vang]

For 2020, they should switch to the names of Icelandic volcanoes. I'd buy the Empire Ears Eyjafjallajökull on the name alone.

Bro...I just got "Volcano Man" out of my head from last night and now it's back lol

 

[olddude]

So disturbing, and I really like Rachel McAdams. I'll never be able to erase that 1:33 from my memory.

 

[arijitroy2]

This is so accurate, here where I live (Denmark), Eurovision is just a hilarious show!!

 

[olddude]

Is Abba taken seriously there?

 

[proedros]
