I know! How about "Iron Man"? No, that one's taken too. "Ferritin-tin"? ...

James.

Ferritino

or

Ferret-man????

THROMBOID

Stay well buddy.


Justin

If that's the case, then I am doing a little blood-letting for him every night!

Tough break, James. But glad it's under control.

I think there's a crucial difference between magnet man and magneto. The latter is frightening and imposing in his dark costume and scary manner, the former sounds like some guy in spandex with magnets strung off his leotard!

Personally, I like Lou's suggestion of Ferretman. You ever seen those things when they're angry and down your trousers?

Chin up, mate. And remember to stay away from those cranes with huge magnets!

OK - Ferretman it is. Lou and I can be a dynamic duo:

FERRETMAN: "You can't get away from Thromboid that easy!"
THROMBOID: "Easily."
FERRETMAN: "Easily."
THROMBOID: "Good grammar is essential, Ferretman."
FERRETMAN: "Holy thesaurus Thromboid, you're right! Thank you."
THROMBOID: "You're welcome, old chum."

NOTE: Edited for authenticity....otherwise, spot on!

-whatever

-Thromboid

Just for clarity's sake, I would like to take this opportunity to head off any snide comments.....sort of 'nip 'em in the bud', so to speak. So, without further ado:

1. It's Ferret-MAN, NOT Ferret-Dude, not Ferret-Breath...and most certainly not Ferret-Face!!
Ferret-MAN....got it?

2. Ferret Man will NEVER be found 'down your trousers"!!!

Angry...occasionally (while he much prefers the application of logic and reasoned argument, he IS capable of getting royally pissed-off!!)

down your trousers?....NEVER...not gonna' happen....no way....

...(unless, of course, you happen to be a nice bit of crumpet of the female persuasion....you know...the kind of luscious little tart that wears skin-tight trousers and has a pair of big 'ol.....NO....not even THEN...he's a happily married family man, for Pete's sake!)


(still......these are fantasy characters....and if you start mixing fantasies with that much un-restrained testosterone.... well, that's a pretty heady mix!)

OK - back to the regularly scheduled thread progression.

Carry On!

-whatever

-THROMBOID

EDIT: ooh!---ooh!---this just came to me....The Dynamic Duo...Ferret-Man and Thromboid

.....BLOOD BROTHERS!.....

...is that GREAT or what?

X is going to be jealous!

Holy caveat Thromboid! Those are all excellent (and appropriate) clarifications.

Just one point - all these guys know our secret identity. Do you think we might have to .... whatever?


James.

Better be careful there Ferretman! I know your one true weakness!
I'll force feed you....SPINACH!!!

I had a friend who had that condition and had to have his blood thinned every so often. All kidding aside it is a serious condition and you need to be mindful of the symptoms when its time and not put off getting timely treatment. Good Luck.
