Mine is self explanatory. It obviously refers to my violent tendencies to physically abuse my bass, usually with my outstretched palm, hence "slap". DUH.
It would appear that he was wrong......
The circumference of the Earth at the equator is 25,000 miles. The Earth rotates in about 24 hours. Therefore, if you were to hang above the surface of the Earth at the equator without moving, you would see 25,000 miles pass by in 24 hours, at a speed of 25000/24 or just over 1000 miles per hour.
It would appear that the Almighty is a bit of a speed freak
A little bit melancholy, the L and P actually stand for 2 high schools who had a few combined sports teams under the mascot Rebels, the varsity swim team which I was a part of for 6 years (recruited when I was 12 out of middle school along with others) were combined that of 3 different schools so we were LPPV (Lakeland/Panas/Putnam Valley), the end result was a team that was very tough to defeat. The swim part is now obvious. And the 2009 is the year I graduated. If I had a chance to do those 6 years again, I really would in a heartbeat
My home which is my sail boat is named; the sailing vessel Lilioukalani. Lilioukalani was the name of the last queen of Hawaii.

Mephistopheles
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mephistopheles
reference in Faust:
The word could derive from the Hebrew mephitz, meaning "destroyer", and tophel, meaning "liar"; "tophel" is short for tophel shequer, the literal translation of which is "falsehood plasterer".[1] The name can also be a combination of three Greek words: "me" as a negation, "phos" meaning light, and "philis" meaning loving, making it mean "not-light-loving", possibly parodying the Latin "Lucifer" or "light-bearer".[2]
Another possibility is Latin mephitis, treated wrongly as Greek because it contains '-ph-', plus the Greek superlative suffix -ιστος, plus Greek -ωφελης = "help(ful), useful": "he who is the worst or foulest sort of (alleged) help". (Compare Anopheles (a malaria mosquito) from Greek α(ν
- = "not", plus -ωφελης, = "no help, the reverse of help, i.e. harmful".)
nickname from my "Black Metal" days... had the excessively long hair pointy beard, weighed 145 lbs at 6'3" wore leather and spikes ETC, so the moniker fit.
This^ and in educating myself in lore and religion, I found that I liked the dichotomy between this "character" and my ACTUAL personality....
made me decide to keep it as an identity, moniker on this electronic, obscure world.
Years later started online gaming, used as playername.
South Park freaky dr. mephisto and it made me giggle..

Mmmmmm. I had one I bought new (without the ZR motor, of course). Calfab swingarm though.
I sold it when it was about 10 years old because it started getting so much harder to get consumables for it - like valve-cover gaskets and clutch cables. That's when I changed to BMW. I could get more parts at the dealer for my 1964 R50/2 than for my ten year-old Kawasaki.
Been a drummer for 36 years so sticks come first; and always will. Just learning how to play bass so stringz come second.
First letter of first name, full last name. My attempt at transparency. I use the same username pretty much everywhere.
One of my first bands, named after a baseball player (Dock Ellis) who threw a no-hitter while on LSD.
It was something I thought of while creating my TB account. I was playing around with fuzz pedals at the time. Ironically, I much prefer a clean tone and haven't played with any effects in months. And 24 is my favorite number.
Gold is Au on the periodic table...I'm a gold prospector so AuBassMan. I'm a member of a Bass fishing forum and use the same name there.
