If you have followed my writing on the RapidWeaver forum, you have probably figured out that I have a warped sense of humor. It is very important that you have the ability to laugh at yourself. Don't take life too seriously since none of us are getting out of it alive.
Okay, so how did ElStacko.com come to be? In order to answer that, I must first give you a little background. My wife was born in Romania and she speaks 5 different languages: Romanian, English, Spanish, Italian and French. That is
four more languages than I speak. She is a teacher in a Spanish language immersion school. She constantly makes fun of my lack of language abilities. When she asks if I know how to say something in Spanish, I just use the English word and put an "o" at the end of it. For example, a dog is
el dog-o and a vacation is
el trip-o. You get the idea. So when I started thinking about names for this site, I made use of the fact that I am so poor at speaking foreign languages.
The joke here is on me.Once I started with the ElStacko concept, I just ran with it. If I'm in charge of a site called ElStacko, I think I deserve the title of
El Presidente! I think the fact that the name is fun and light-hearted made it possible for me to use bright colors on the site. I want this to be a site you enjoy visiting. I also am willing to bet that the site name is not one you'll soon forget.
Nothing makes a visit quite as enjoyable as buying some Stacks! ;-) Have a bit of fun and look at my goodies.
(did that sound lewd?)For one last surprise, mouse over the image of
