Lenny Bongcloud was a very active member here for many years.  He has an astoundingly bad win/loss record, but Lenny's goal was always to march his K to the other side of the board.  So it's less of an opening than a whole game philosophy, but the kids like to open with it because it has a cool name and nothing enrages your opponent more than an early (and pointless) king walk.  He's still a member here, although no longer active.
