I should also mention for a couple of you, and you know who you are, that there is a Thoros in the books/show. Jaime Lannister mentions him in the fourth episode, fyi.
He's Thoros of Myr, not of Whethoof.
If I could sue for copyright enfridgment I still wouldn't b/c Martin scares me with his epic beard.
I still think my Thoros is more bad@ss, although I'm not sure he can beat the whole warrior monk with a flaming sword bit. O.o
