Rapunzel Xanax

...and other great nom de guerre/plume/theatres, band names, secret agent handles and/or witness protection aliases.

For some odd reason the Bangalore Torpedo came up in conversation mit meinem Vati on Friday. What were we talking about? Got me hangin'. Given that our convos are often heavily salted with random surreal references and other big time asides, this was totes the norm.

The tag Bangalore Torpedo sent me off the rails.

Character back stories are already foaming up in that tumultuous, swirling sea of a brain 'o' mine.

AWESOME!
