ilras, I've always wanted to know, what is iuleeenzaaa?

It' s a long story. I'll try to make it a short as I can.
The guy in the pic isn't me (I would like to know who thought he was).
He's an actor, Diego Abatantuono.
Among many other, in the '80 he acted in a funny movie about football (soccer, for our American friends), playing three different characters.
One of these was the chief of the supporters of AC Milan (my favorite team) that was nicknamed by his followers "il ras della fossa".
So when I stared chatting and participating to forums, decided to use this name and kept it also here.
Iuuuulenza: that's his "war cry" he means "violenza" (violence) but, not being exactly a literate, he has some problems with the pronunciation of the words.
Of course, being a sort of parody, in the movie there isn't any violence at all.
That's all. hope I didn't disappoint you

Cool, cheers for letting us know, I'd often noticed it but never thought about asking for some reason!

I did. But then, I've thought JoJo was JPM for years.

Cool, I always thought it might have been some sort of battle cry or something.

Oh and 4000, it's really me in my picture as well...... ;D
