Re: Fontana Labs: unmasked

Which means you're Tony Stark and not a philosopher at all as heretofore claimed but one of the world's richest and most ruthless business men?

That explains everything.

I got a hot tip that Labs is Yngwie Malmsteen. Take this Iron Man thing with a FIST OF METAL! grain of salt.

Actuallly, I think FL should have just reused his title from the previous post.

The Cardigans (yes, the Cardigans!) have a great, great cover of "Iron Man." I commend it to everyone.

Is this an open thread?

Hey, I like the Cardigans. Baa, what does it mean that I have similar taste to a Republican? Am I going to become one when I grow up? Is there anyway to cure it?

I thought this title sounded familiar.

As open as a fristed kitten.

As open as Conor Oberst.

As open as a doorless frame.

As open as your sesame.

Familiar, but less exclamatory.

Who knew that the Red Skull was Iron Man?

Labs knew, I guess. Who would have suspected?

Labs is fashioning a leitmotif of the precariously pseudonymous.

When ogged remarked on the Washingtonienne's unveiling, he called his post "Revealed". Then, when he disclosed my skin color, gender, profession, and principal vice, he took care not to repeat himself, calling the new post "Revealed II". Fontana here takes the reverse approach, deleting, not adding, from the end of the earlier title. So, when ogged outs w-lfs-n (and it's only a matter of time), he'll give us "Revealed III"; but when Labs next loses a bar fight with paranoia, we'll be treated to "Fontana Labs: unmaske".

So, would you say that when Iron Man posts under his pseudonym Fontana Labs, it's inappropriately sock-puppetlike for him to comment on the issue of how society treats people who have turned to steel?

Labs, what's your position on killing the people you once saved?

The Cardigans are fantastic, especially their underappreciated first album, but the cover of "Iron Man" is an abomination.

I want to make a Ferrous Bueller joke here, but I can't get the phrasing right.
