Why is it that Alan is (as far as I know) the only character in the way with many names, others simply say I am:

Bob of Marna
Gaius of Xor
Rhue of Landorin
etcetera etcetera.

Alan says: I am Alanthreonus Phillipe Straphachar.

Notice that he doesn't say his stretch, most other wanderers do. I just find that a little, perculiar.

Maybe Alan is The Way incarnate. So he can't be of any stretch.

If Alan was Way Incarnate he would have been able to kick slade's ass.

Maybe he's just so arrogant that he gave himself a last name.....and a middle name.

I agree with Excell... and if you ever spell out etc. again, I will hunt you down, devour your soul, and sell your innards to a homeless vietnamese family.

No. Etcetera. Etc. is the abbreviated version of Etcetera.

What? You didn't tell me I couldn't say it.

Alan is like Hitler, only fatter and with stupid hair. Wait, that was my description for Eggman. Stupid fucking name, eh?

Also, don't forget about Bare Head Bob. Or Bald Head Bob. Whatever.

Oh my God! Shocking Revelation!

Hey! :shock: I just realized. Y'know how the WGB says there's something unique about the Pharaphalyn which distinguishes him from other wanderers?
-It's the name!
Holy cow... all this time Alantheroneous Phillipe Straphachachar, apparent overeducated yokel with delusions of grandeur, was actually the Pharaphalyn!

I can't believe I didn't see it sooner.

You know, I wonder if you're right and Luns reading that right now saying, OH SHIT! THEY FOUND IT OUT! And has proceded to rewrite the entire script. I guess we'll never know...

That theory is quite possible, but I beliebe that Alan is simply highly doped up on some strong drug, whihc causes him to babble mindlessly.

In fact, the name he says is simply jibberish. His real name is Frederick.
