I've gotten several questions about what the [Kancho!] tag is. Rest assured, it is not a clan, just a silly group. Here's a more full explanation for the really curious.
[Kancho!] as a group is just a joke. My brother and I started a group after having heard of the amusing Japanese prank called Kancho on a radio program we both enjoy. The practice itself involves interlacing your fingers with the index fingers extended and coming together (think "here's the church, and here's the steeple) and the resulting point of the two index fingers being used to poke someone in the butt. Described that way, it doesn't sound very funny, but the discussion around it was hilarious. Our "group" motto is "Probing the lawless border region" and once my oldest brother joined he suggested "adding insult to injury." There is no implied or explicit sexuality involved with the prank or we wouldn't use it. Naturally, you would not want to do this in American society since you'd be sued or arrested despite the fact that it's supposed to be an innocent, if disconcerting, joke. The group consists of my oldest brother, older brother, me and my wife. So, it's really just a little family group.
Now that our friends on the servers have come to identify us by [Kancho!] along with our handles, we've left it on as a harmless silly tag.
