a tk noodle moment [Liam]

So I'm on the ol' eliptical machine yesterday, watching batman begins... and the movie ends but i'm still running in place; i'm not really paying attention to the credits until a single line snags my attention scrolling by.
This line reads:

       Enormous Prisoner       Turbo Kong

that's-- that-- that's just fucking WOW.
I mean it's cool enough that the normally ultra-vanilla naming conventions for credited extras saw fit to part before him and bestow the title "enormous" on his character instead of simply "big" or an even less-descriptive "#1"... but to follow up on that with a name like Turbo Kong (he's the huge Asian dude who says "You are in hell, and I am the devil," before getting beat up by Bruce Wayne) is simply classic. It's like one of those bonuses in bowling where you follow up a marked frame with a strike.
Turbo Kong.
This, my friend... this is a man who names his wang. There is no question.
It is probably such an aggressive and dynamic name that no single language can contain it. To step it up from "Turbo Kong" requires gestures, a gong, and at least one word from a primitive tribal dialect. Proper pronunciation likely could only occur if the name was echoing from a mountaintop. I really don't think written language is up to the task.
This does constitute something of a dead end for this blog post. Probably for the best.
