I remember an old Australian sparring partner who went by the name of "malaka". No, really, he did.
I spent a long time trying to find common ground with him, even resorting to calling him "my friend" at every given opportunity, but this just seemed to upset him even more. He was convinced I was Turkish, but then he wasn't the only one.
Now you'll tell me that he's still out there, but called something different.
Can't say I'd blame him.
(Incidentally, for those of you not in the know, "malaka" is a Greek word that means "referee".)
