Michele Lancia Genesis
As many of you already know, and as Ken use to say, I am a man of many names.The one I use to write here on Coil is Michele Lancia.
There is a funny anecdote about the genesis of this pseudonym.
Everything goes back up to the year 2009..August 2009. I still had to know my wife and I was doing my vacations in Vasto which is a seaside resort in Abruzzo, Italy, Europe, Planet Earth, Milky Way, Laniakea, Universe xxxxxxxxxx954……..level 7.😂😂😂
Now….I was into an apartment with 2 other friends for a week and you can only imagine the level of hangover we were experiencing on daily basis. It comes out, that in lunch time no one was able to cook anything or wewere too lazy to cook. One morning a friend asked me: “Who's gonna cook the lunch today?” I came off with: “Michelle thinks about it!”. Clearly there was no one called Michelle amongst us, so I explained to them that they had not to worry about the lunch because Michelle, the little elf living into the fridge, was a good chef...“So..don't worry guys….Michelle will take care of everything!!”. This blatant lie was enough to make everyone surrender from action. Laziness won again and peace of mind was finally achieved. 🥳
Returned from vacation, I opened up an account on facebook called MICHELLE LUNCH and the image was that of a fridge to make a joke with my friends. Believe it or not,in a few days a lot of unknown males were asking me for friendship and sending me messages,thinking Michelle Lunch was a girl.
What I did? I changed Michelle into Michele and Lunch into Lancia which is a word that in italian sounds the same way even though it has another meaning.
So this is the genesis of the name Michele Lancia.
Hope you had fun with it.
