I'd have to say sicilian. i'm usually unprepared for sicilian as white and black! :D
What opening are you least prepared for (you can take either side)?
Sort:
french for white i will never play it for black and have no clue how to play against it just out of lazyiness, but have been doing well with advanced varation
Any body prepared for this?

As black, I'm unprepared against 1. c4 and 1. Nf3 (and of course any other off-beat first move). Against 1. c4 I play e5, against 1. Nf3 d5, my alternative repertoire is "e6 against everything", but I don't know any lines from that point on.
As white I'm most unprepared against the Pirc/Modern, again, I just make natural developing moves here but don't know any lines.

Since I read your thread the first time, I've been wondering; did you ever concider sacrificing the king instead?
Most of the games in the thread in question relies on your opponent(s) missing discovered attacks here and there and/or missing - say - your hanging pieces...
Hardly substantial evidence that sacrificing your one developed piece while giving your opponent development is a good idea.
Oh well, just curious. It DOES look like you're having fun :)
1. c4; I haven't studied a line against it.

It is just for fun, even i play chess just for fun, why should i take the fun part away from fun. no theory behind it just fun.
Or maybe sacrifice your bishop? You can not rely on the shock factor to win a chess game. I have seen that in many of your games, you equalized the material in the end, meaning that your opponent most likely missed some basic tactics.

And that's kinda cool, monsieur!
To answer your question; I'm neither schocked nor in awe. I'd just grab it and prepare myself for the ensuing attack (actually quite like playing the white side of 1. f3 xx, 2. Kf2 etc.) :)
Edit:
As far as openings I'm able to turn into greek salad within four moves; let's just say they're abundant and my fear is steady and dominant regardless (vulpes, shaking like a leaf) :)
1.d4 like ajedrecito. It's nowhere near as common as e4 at club level. I always end up playing some hopeful nimzo/qid thing.
Bongcloud queen sacrifice opening
The title is self-explanatory.
