uselessness commented on the word parsifal
There is a street named with this word here in Albuquerque. Whenever I drive by, I burst into gigglefits. It would appear to be the name of a Wagnerian opera, but I don't know about all that, I just think it sounds awesome. I pronounce it, of course, as "parsey-full."

Parsifal is an old Holy Grail story, mentioned in books by Wolfran von Eschenbach and Chrétien de Troyes. They inspired Wagner to compose the opera.
I think it sounds awesome, too! :D

Haha, when I first read your comment I thought you were making a Monty Python connection. I'm such a dork. ;-)

I wish I was! Wagner is a nice guy but... It's just nicer to imagine:
- What... Is your name?
- Parsifal, leader of the grail brotherhood!
- What... Is your quest?
- I must redeem my knights!
- What... Is your favorite color?
- Blue. No, yelAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
