It's been interesting to see how often they pop up, and it's kind of spurred me on to look up a lot of the names and places that get used, out of curiosity as to whether they are references to some person or place that Sergio or Mark decide to mention. It makes for an interesting aspect of the series, at least for me, so I'm glad there's somebody else out there who enjoys it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13867868039166531163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882610517765002247.post-15959898486563655242013-01-22T10:34:09.343-06:002013-01-22T10:34:09.343-06:00"One can always cheer when the crafty bandits..."One can always cheer when the crafty bandits or evil kings receive a comeuppance, but the poor merchant who trusts Groo to guard his wares only to see everything he owns stolen or ruined?

On the other hand (or hoof), the bandit Yegua is named after the word for "mare". Even thought it's not Spanish, Porto Pass might be named after a city in Portugal."<br /><br />I really enjoy this "Spanish Words" portion of your reviews, this is something I had never really thought about back in the day, I had assumed most of the names were simply made up!<br /><br />kipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986436534528705471noreply@blogger.com
