I became aware of him via David Byrne's blog and wrote about him, and included the full picture, <a href="http://oocradio.blogspot.com/2006/08/yves-klein-and-hummingbird.html" rel="nofollow">in this post</a>.

Longshot guess: is that from <em>Wings of Desire</em>? Darius Deathridge... that is pure badass. If that guy isn't already a character in a video game, he needs to be. Ham Fighters, I like it! I briefly considered changing my team name next year to the San Francisco Tiger Leap. Only reason I'm not is because I still have a lot of affection for E.J. Junior and the Hippos. Oh, and because it's in horribly bad taste. I'm working on the sequel to the fantasy football post, in which I will reveal the outcome of the Hippos' season. Dude, nice gravatar.

The man on the other end asked for "Francisco Bango". I grumbled, "Wrong number," and hung up. To this day, that name and the name of one of my occasional customers, 'Darius Deathridge', are my favorites. In an effort to bundle my comments, I will point out that I have been gravatized, or gravatarized, as it were. Also, I would tell you the name of my fantasy football team if it did not reveal my secret identity. I can say that before I changed it last year it was called the Ham Fighters, after a Japanese baseball team--I didn't get the name, but it amused me and bewildered my rivals. I never made it past the first round of playoffs with the old name, but the new name (and Adrian Peterson and Brandon Marshall) got me to runner up this year.

If it was, then she's got an inventive way of pronouncing it. ;-) Hmm… hadn’t thought of that. If it was, then she’s got an inventive way of pronouncing it. ;-)
