The Origin of Tnuc Straf

G4S Claude VonStroke

Back in 2011 when I joined TYM I went by another name that had been my online handle for years. I didn't feel like it was a good name for the FGC so I knew I needed to choose one. There was a tech house producer / DJ by the name of the Claude VonStroke that I was a huge fan of (still am) and I thought his name was kind of catchy and funny. Then… There was this stand up routine that sometimes was played on the howard stern show. Specifically one part where he shouts loudly.


What I love about this is how the shout is delivered and also how CLEARLY uncomfortable the audience is during this. It's like he's bombing on stage but it's amazing. So I thought hmm… I should call myself Tnuc Straf because it's sounds like a weird Hobit kind of name and it has a hidden meaning. But Since I was new I didn't want to come in the FGC guns a blazing so I went with Claude. But now that i've been here a few years why not use both names. :)
