"Mangler Units 1 and 2, ready for... Hey! Eyes front, #2!!"

"Everything was fine until I found out that there was another order for my capture by the empire... they really never give up!"

"Arashi from Paradise Kiss... probably my favorite character at the whole kon- way to go, dude."

"Miwako... also from Paradise Kiss, I should really read that manga..."

"Asuka and Sumomo from Neon Evangelion and Chobits, respectively... they seem to be missing their robotic comrades... hmmm"

"BellDandy and Aerith combined powers and still couldn't get the funk out of many many.... MANY other cosplayers that forgot about the wonders of soap."

"Boba Fett joined forces with some local marines and attempted to take the Mangler in for that bounty on my head.... MiniMangler made short work of these three-*snif* he makes me so proud...*snif*"

"Genma... dude, you need to watch that diet... we can see your ribs."

"Integral from Paper-Wings made a fantastic Millenia appearance. I feel bad that I missed the other ladies from the troupe."

" Moogle!!! But wait... her nose isn't red.. what's the deal here?"

"Neo and Trinity took a moment from some booty kickin to pose for the Mangler... shhyeah."

"So, this character's origin evades me... I'd welcome any comments in correcting my lack of knowledge."

"This young lady was the FIRST to refuse a free Mangler CD! She wasn't even nice about it... feh... here's her picture anyway..*shrug*"

"Hmmmm this outfit looks familiar... oh yeah... it's up there---^ and I still don't know what this character is from...."

"Link! In his RED uniform, no doubt.... it's about time someone chose this outfit... now, the thoughtful gamer would go for the blue outfit, too...."

"Dude, I wanna say this is a character from Slayers... but I'm probably wrong... feel free to correct me."

"Sora in Halloween Town from Kingdom Hearts!!! Neat"

"Space Station 5's main character in full pinkage. SHE took a cd from Mangler..."

"Stuffy Hunter made a beeline for the dealers' rooms. His query did little to fend off his attacks."

" Team Rocket... up to no good! Poor Meowth was a bit lost with the Mangled CDs that were handed out. I hope my explaination was beneficial."

"This duo won Lori's Coveted Favorite Award!! queue horns and fireworks here. It's Yuubaba and Haku from Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi (Spirited Away)"

"San, here, is actually a friend of mine from work. She spent ALOT of time and effort on her costume... this was her first con... I think she enjoyed herself... it just happens that she ran into a Maro, there... pretty neat."

Well, that sums up the Mangler's experience at A-kon14. My family and I had a great vacation, even if the Inn where we stayed happened to suck donkey hairs in the service department. I dunno if I'll be back for A-kon15... but we'll see. I love bringing the law!
