Engelbert Humperdinck - SuperSpy
Well....not really. The NSA apparently does some training, and although they normally use fictional names, this time they decided to use Engelbert Humperdinck's name. Then the speculation began.
Oh, and it's fun to say Humperdinck, but you already knew that.
-
Winglebert Bembledack. Kringlebert Fistybuns.
-
Personally, I think it's a poor idea for a spy agency to use real names on any documents that aren't supposed to be real information. It's a little too easy, I suspect, for a document to be misfiled, and suddenly someone goes from being a fun training example to a terrorist.

"No, we can't do it... Who we got? Zingelbert Bembledack, Tringelbert Wangledack, Slut Bunwalla, Klingybun Fistelvase, Dindlebert Zindledack, Gerry Dorsey, Engelbert Humptyback, Zengelbert Bingledack, Engelbert Humperdinck, Vingelbert Wingledanck…" "No, no, go back one. Go back one. "Engelbert Humperdinck." That's it."
-
He's dead, you know.
-
I still carry the scars from having to hear my mom's Engelbert Humperdinck albums (the pop crooner).
-
Are you telling me Engelbert Humperdinck was his real name? I'm not sure I believe you.
-
Gah! TP, I keep forgetting to loan you that Eddie Izzard DVD. This is one of his topics -- Enge's real name is Gerry Dorsey.
-
Actually, I've just been informed that Gerry Dorsey took the name in homage to a composer named...Englebert Humperdink. Scary.
-
Dude looks creepy...
-
If only I could grow a mustache like that. The world would be mine. I wonder if hair extensions would work.
-
@Sandspider -- yes but, aha ahahahaha, maybe he's dead because the NSA started using his name on internal reports? Aha ahahaha eheh heh ... hmmm....
-
surlyboi, that's one of my absolute favorite bits by Eddie. *briefly ponders 'Slut Bunwalla' as alternate screen name...*
-
No, he's not really dead.
-
But sadly, he is. *nods sadly*
-
I think it was a car accident.
-
No, no, just a joke. He's still alive.
-
He got a cold. No, wait, a tan. That's it.
