JSOP doesn't need a secret identity. If JSOP wants to be someone else, he roundhouse kicks Chuck Norris and takes his identity.
Oh, who am I kidding. JSOP would never kick someone when a gun would do.

LOL!

English doesn't borrow from other languages.
English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

I know Sander isn't the best name to have in English...  It's a very common Dutch name though. At one point during high school I knew six people named Sander.
Rossel is a French name I think...

I actually googled both. There was a minister of war called Rossel in the Paris Commune.
Dutch names are often hilarious in the UK, Twitter had a brief frenzy last week when people realised Martin Jol's brothers are called Dick and C0ck.
Last place I worked the bloke in charge of IT in Benelux was called Ruud Suk.
I would imagine Sander to be derived from Alexander or one of its forms. People in the UK called Alexander do sometimes go by the name Xander or Zander.

Sander is (potentially) an historically interesting name, at least as a "Hebrew name".
It seems that during his conquests, Alexander the Great kept having this recurring dream about a man in white robes coming up to him with bread - and he seemed to win the following battle handily.
When he arrived to conquer Jerusalem, the people new they were toast - so they sent out one of the city elders to try to avoid having the city sacked (raping, looting, and other typical stuff of the time). When Alexander saw the elder, approaching with the traditional bread+salt, it was right out of his dream. He accepted the surrender of the city (laid his usual tributes on them), and went on his way.
As a token of thanks for being spared the general pillage, many of the newborn males of the generation were named after Alexander the Great. A name handed down to this day.

From his mother and or father - the usual for many of us!

I did note a picture of some guy called Scuff sanding a KC-10 aircraft, before painting.

I guess their catchphrase hasn't work if you have to ask that.

In between vapid comments, I'm doing the housework whilst listening to some tunes. It just started playing "I Want To Break Free" as I began to vacuum the Banquet Hall.

See now all I have in my head is that video...
So do you find that a tight pink vest (with fake comedy breasts) and a black leather mini skirt helpful while doing the house work?

I once got suckered into playing that role during a circus performance.

I'm currently listening to Bleak Expectations[^] on my commute to and form work. Today's episode featured a bad sitar version of The Girl From Ipanema in a scene set in hell.
