Re: Halloween on Mongo (Mingoween)
In reply to: Officer Torch 's message, "Halloween on Mongo (Mingoween)" on 11:22:04 10/31/11 Mon

I am looking forward to the big Tunnel of Terror Mingoween Bash, whatever it may entail!

I've pondered a number of possible costumes, from Hawkman to Lion Man to Clay Man, but those might not be prudent for Mingoween, nor would adding an "e" to my name and coming as Sergeant Time the Doomed One. Who wants to spend the day after a holiday on Gocko shovel duty!

I may just play it safe and come costumed as Officer Torch (or would that be impersonating an Officer?). The Tin Man of Oz said he had something I could wear.

Happy Mingoween!

Sergeant Tim

HIGHLIGHTS OF YESTERDAYS FESTIVITIES IN TUNNEL OF TERROR

-First some comments...seems a dummy resembling Sgt.Time was thrown into the gocko's lair. The crowd was wild and groggy owing to spiked punch with draughts of forgetfulness. Note: it is not allowed to attend an event such as this impersonating a respected man such as Officer Torch. He is so special that his armor was made of Mingonium, nearly impervious to small weapon attack. There was a man from Oz, imprisoned there awhile back for making an outfit of tin for Torch. The man from Oz was fed to the dragon. By the way,there are some outfits that are on clearance that did not sell if your interested in winding down activities today...mostly monster, animal outfits...Urso, orangupoid, a gocko sibling, Octosam, maybe a couple 2 men outfits, for the tigron and unicorn like horse..not much else.

Overheard Comments

-The hawkmen sleep on 3 legged stools.

-Aura never really cared for Barin, and family get togethers can be violent when Ming starts up.

-Ming's iconic "heh, heh" derived from (sort of) some celebrity on earth...perhaps from the late Red Buttons.

-In early days, when Mongo had plants, the gockos lived on the surface and were vegans, but became carnivores upon being captured and held captive in the underground caves.

-Ming wore a simple costume of black eyemask with horns. BUT, AND THIS IS A BIGGIE, A WOMAN WAS AT HIS SIDE IN SOME OUTFIT, FULLY MASKED, WHO HE INTRODUCED...AS HIS WIFE! AND MOTHER OF THEIR DAUGHTHER PRINCESS AURA. Here is something we wondered about for awhile...ie, is there a Mrs. Ming? or more appropriately, who might be the mother of Princess Aura. Are we to assume that Ming once went thru that 13th sound of the gong? This is most interesting, but she soon left and nothing was mentioned later. So, was there a Mrs. Ming? There you go, something to ponder.

Well, the Mingoween party is officially over. Ming can be a prankster at times it seems. Moreover, there is now more uncertainty than ever if the woman next to Ming was indeed Mrs. Ming, or was he just creating a prank, for there were some rumors in the past that Princess Aura came from a test tube. So, questions remain regarding this issue, and are unlikely to be resolved soon.

Barin made no appearance at the affair. Both High Priests were in attendance costumed as Satan. Someone taped a sign saying "kick me" behind the the cackling one. He took a few hits to the delight of most attendees.

Some claymen showed up, one dressed as earth's popular Gumby, a few treemen were lost in the cave environment looking for vines...but a few enterprising participants at the affair set up small booths for haircuts and dental work. A linguist was also around with a Mingograph machine with reverse play function to help the Rock men update their speech. The Zuggs got better garments and eye exams.

Any other reports about this event are welcomed.
