An anagram of Tony Stark if ever I saw one!

I do not think one can rearrange the letters of Tony Stark to read "Zaphod B. Beeblebrox."

If Zaphod can make everyone’s underwhere jump two feet to the left he as sure can.

I don't believe he ever did that--that's referenced as a party trick for scientists, which Beeblebrox decidedly is not. I mean, he'd do it if he could--and Eccentrica Gallumbits did describe him as "the best bang since the big one."

If internet trolls have taught us anything, over the years, it's that if it doesn't fit then you're not trying hard enough.

I was at that party. It was before he had the two heads. Still can’t find that underwear

Real gaming story:

I was playing in a larp, in which we were fighting minions of a villain that called itself "The Emissary". It was a really hard fight, and all the players were winded. We had barely managed to repel the foot soldiers of the bad guy, and we were expecting a lieutenant would show up in the next wave, but we had a few minutes breather (as one of the NPC players ran off to change costume in the woods - I could just see him through the trees.) So, scattered about the thinly wooded area, we were discussing our predicament.

One guy (who was a smart enough dude), was playing a mercenary character with very little in the way of brains, and decided for some comedy. He says, "Hey, We got this enemy - the Emissary. And we have another enemy, Anton Mesmer. Emissary. Mesmer. They're... what do you call 'em? Anagrams! The Emissary and Mesmer are the same guy!"

And silence falls over the wooded glen at the sheer stupidity of this statement. But nobody is willing point out the problem with the logic.

I'm playing a brilliant, gruff, "does not suffer fools lightly" engineer who has already nearly died twice on the field. So I call out, in my best incredulous voice^*, "There's no Y in 'Mesmer!'"

Remember that NPC player getting into costume? He was also the guy who played the NPC Mesmer. And he's harried, rushing to get his head into a rubber demon-head mask, and he just falls to his knees cracking up. The entire fight was delayed another 10 minutes because we'd given him a giggle fit he couldn't shake.

I was later given an award for being the only player to down two villains, who weren't even in a scene, without firing a shot.

I disbelieve. People on this website don't get invited to those sorts of parties.

So they were the same villain!

I…. I wasn’t invited…. Exactly….

I was in the loft below.
