― Vic Fluro (Vic Fluro), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 21:36 (twenty years ago)

Unus never fails to make me laugh. Well, his name. The character is fairly pathetic.

― bucky wunderlick (bucky), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 02:34 (twenty years ago)

semi unboring etymology facts:
monger derives from latin for "slave salesman" = mango, mangonis
minger derives from latin for "to piss" = mingo, mingere, minxi, mictum

so vic is wrong to say that monger is from b4 the days of minger

aquaminxi

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 09:49 (twenty years ago)

iron mango

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 09:49 (twenty years ago)

Iron Mango sounds like a character from a kung fu film

"ha ha ha, are you ready to die? no-one can resist my deadly iron mango style!!"

etc

91 - The Question...

Who was that guy without a face?

The Question.

Yeah, but what was he called?

I just told you.

No, I asked you the question.

You sure did.

What?

Not what, the Question.

Didn't you hear it?

Sure, I was right here with you.

Then why won't you answer?

Not the answer, the Question.

Ad infinitum.

you mean there really was an ironmonger!!???

Horrifically, yes.

Oh, come on now-- Iron Monger was pretty cool really! He was so evil that he mutilated and killed an innocent golden retriever just so that he could win a chess tournament! That's badass, you've got to admit.

― Chris F. (servoret), Thursday, 27 October 2005 03:10 (twenty years ago)

He was Lex Luthor in a giant mechasuit - about 20 years before Lex Luther even put on his giant mechasuit!

― Vic Fluro (Vic Fluro), Thursday, 27 October 2005 10:36 (twenty years ago)

Actually, I think the Luthorsuit & the Stanesuit were at the same time (circa '86).
