Iron Lady + Iron Man = Iron Giant


Margaret Thatcher, referred to by many as the "Iron Lady" may be known as the only woman Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, but she also got jiggy with Tony Stark, aka Iron Man. The year was 1974. Margaret had just gotten out of a 7:15 PM showing of Blazing Saddles. She had one of those jumbo pretzels so she was quite thirsty. She decided to head to the nearby pub for a drink. Upon arriving, she noticed a dapper young fellow by the name of Tony posting up near the jukebox. Grand Funk Railroad had just released "The Loco-Motion" and seeing as it was her jam, she decided to walk over and put it on. As she approached the jukebox, her song came on. To her surprise it was Tony's favorite song too! Numerous drinks were consumed and "The Loco-Motion" played for a record setting 16 times in a row. Tony and Margaret danced the night away, eventually heading back to Tony's place. Nine months later, an iron boy named Vespucci was born. Because of his abnormal size, he was referred to as "Giant", thus the name "Iron Giant".
