Hello everyone!

The name I chose, Rackham Merah, is simply the direct translation of Red Rackham in Bahasa Indonesia.

I guess it's an homage to the reason that Red Rackham's Treasure or "Harta Karun Rackham Merah" was the first Tintin album I read :)

Shout out to all Indonesian Tintinologists out there!

Your name sounds at first like "rockhammer", a geologist or paleontologist's tool.

Hello, everyone!

My name comes from the combination of Herge's lack of female characters and my lack of creativity to think up something clever, and that's all there is to it!

I also have had a fascination with gypsy culture, but never really connected it until later.

Hi! My name comes from Jeeves the great English butler in the P.G. Woodhouse* storys. I was Jeeves in a school play and my friends have called me Jeeves ever since!

*Fun Fact: Woodhouse was like Herge a great humorist whos reputation was damaged when he was unfairly accused of Nazi collaberation

You're right, and I knew someone would comment on it.
When I registered, it said someone already had that user name with
Miarka spelled the right way, so I stuck a "j" in there...for reasons I still don't know.

Plus, I like it with a J.

I love that character! P.G. Wodehouse is one of my favorite writers and those stories have always been among my favorites! I think I had heard something about Wodehouse's Nazi accusations but that's none the less interesting!

never thought of it that way Dupondt, come to think of it, it does sound like a death metal band.

Rocking with big brown leather pirate hat, red suit, and a pointy goatie :D

Your name reminds me of hammocks.
