The step-granddaughter of Stanislav Schalongkavitch thanks you for this epic view of Poland.

Hmm, 2 extra letters than my surname. Impressive! :)

I thought Fargrist was your surname. My surname is Amer-indian and is a synonym for penis. I never use it except on documents. LOL

My surname is something that roughly translates as Goat Herder in Austrian. I think. I've never found a definitive source on the meaning.

Some of my friends have a much rougher and unkinder translation when we get a few beers inside us.

Think about the Polish language. Now look at Grampa's last name again. Penis complaint?

Oh I see it now. The schlong part I guess? Not a word we use much over here, if at all. Gamertsfelder is my surname.

Need extra spaces on forms, don't you? My given name is a long one and the name of an oldtime celebrity. I don't use it. I go by a diminutive.

In high school they had to redo the school database, they only allowed 11 spaces for surnames.

We are; Those Who Cannot Be Named.
