it’s mcgraths-i-pan, pronounced like marzipan. it’s the origin of the phrase “as useful as a mcgrathsipan dildo”
is pretty much the way I got the name when I was younger - my mother was a cake baker and I always had Marzipan

I always saw the name as "marzipan", and I'm a massive fan of marzipan. My mum used to make her own and when she did she'd also make two little marzipan ducks and put them in the fridge for my sis and me when we got back from school, It was like Pavlov - we'd see a cake being covered and go straight to the fridge.

That's a lovely story Penna but this isn't the time for duck cakes. We need to Guantanamo the truth out of him.

I always thought it was a reference to Saipan. Which he just misspelled or something. In hindsight, I dunno why I ever thought that that makes sense.

i would not be against watercolourboarding him.

between the hours 6pm and 6am his cell shall remain pitch black. wonky circus music will play, clown laughs and flashes of light will permeate the awkwardness. if he dares to drop off through all this, he will be shocked awake.

during the hours of 6am-6pm, the real watercolourboarding begins. he is tied to a chair, eyes clamped open, whilst marie meredeth talks him through her entire back catalogue of shit painings. each somehow worse than the last.

only then will we learn the truth/break him completely.
