RE: Wolf the Quarrelsome

Comment comment by LordDilly on 21 February 2008

I love how understated the moniker "Quarrelsome" is. You would think maybe prone to arguing with his neighbors or co-workers, not killing everything he saw.

As for Genghis Khan, it sounds like an imposing super-villain name, someone menacing with possible a cloak or cape. In reality he was a short, bowl-legged psychopath who boiled some folks alive at one of his wedding banquets.

RE: Wolf the Quarrelsome by NomadSoul :: NR6

I guess a "quarrel" back in the day was a little bit more intense. If he lived today, in Britain he would be called "Wolf the unreasonably violent," while in America he'd be called "Wolf the crazy-ass mofo."

While I stand by Wolf the Quarrelsome for the best name, Genghis Khan had the best [http://www.barbariankeep.com/ctbsecrets.html motto] for a barbarian warlord: "To crush your enemies, to see them fall at your feet -- to take their horses and goods and hear the lamentation of their women"
