they're Iron Man/Woman.

There's an Iron Woman? When did Mr. Stark get married?
*doesn't keep up on her comics, really, just has a bizarre ability to keep random facts from nowhere*

I do remember in one alternate continuity that Stark was born a woman. I think it was the mangaverse.

<Nerd Tangent/> Actually, she was Toni Stark, Tony's sister, and she was secretly helping the supposedly dead tycoon. He was a head in a jar, but still able to think and design. Rather cool twist, that. </Nerd Tangent>

They did have Stark as a woman in the mangaverse, but it was Tony's niece or sumsuch. Tony was just a head on a robot, similar to what Futurama does for guest spots.

Aside: I'm convenced that Marvel cancelled the mangaverse because it was already more interesting than the main Marvel titles.

I have a different idea. Duct tape the kid to the wall.

Of course, this is why I will never be a parent.

No, but you'll be the world's best babysitter. Can I put you on call? I'll even provide the duct tape.

After letting this whole story stew for a while, I decided that if I ever witness such a rude kid ever goes off on some poor working schmoe while his mother smirks with pride from the sidelines I'm going to take out my cellphone, dial (or pretend to dial, depending on how offensive the kid's being) the nonemergency police line, and make a report in a loud and clear voice:

"Yes, sheriff's department, there's this kid at the video game store making an awful scene, swearing and threatening the staff and there isn't a parent in sight."

Mom may not feel so proud once her Precious Wubbykins getting a disturbing the peace charge.

Parent. It's not just a noun, it's a verb.

Dang it yet another rule #1 violation.

I know someone who got stapled to his mattress in college...

Seems my college roommate got a bit drunk and stupid one night, and decided to wake up the entire floor with his antics. I went across the hall to help someone with a homework assignment, and since it was only 'a few minutes,' I didn't bother locking the door. Well, one of the guys got in there...wrapped a sheet over the drunk...and then stapled his ass to the bed's wooden frame Needless to say, that was the last time he came in drunk

We'll save the stapling for the teens. I am strictly duct tape for the kiddos.
