  2. To be clear, the first comic I ever READ was Flash #115, "The Day the Flash Weighed 1000 Pounds." It was handed to me by a schoolmate on the bus ride home. Every weekend, I would stay with my paternal grandmother, who lived a few miles from us. I told her that we needed to go buy some comic books and so we picked up the aforementioned JLA and Jaguar comics. I was about 6 at the time. For several years I also read the Archie line of comics, as well as Dennis the Menace, but eventually dropped them in favor of just the DC super-hero line (and some Bob Hope and Jerry Lewis DC comics, but their runs ended when I was still young). I think the cutoff point was when comics went from 12 to 15 cents. On another tangent, my weekly bill at my comic store is now about $45. When I was a kid, that would have lasted 3-4 years! Not only were the comics much cheaper, but there were fewer titles, and not all comics were monthly. George
  3. For God's sake don't go do something foolish All you're feeling right now is silly human pride This line is REALLY familiar, but I can' fill in the gap. George
  4. Rockin' Robin "Well East Coast girls are hip, I really dig the styles they wear." George
  5. There was also a running gag that no stays dead for long, at least in Rivervale. The Rivervale "villain" turned out to be Archie, trying to keep Earth-Rivervale around so that his dad would come back. George
  6. There was an episode where Archie was Pureheart the Powerful for Halloween, and I think a couple of the other "gag" heroes appeared. As far as Archie Comics' "serious" heroes, none of them have appeared. As an aside, the first two comic books I ever purchased were Justice League of America # 14 and whatever the contemporaneous Jaguar comic was (they didn't have numbers on the cover). I also read The Fly (OK, technically, both comics were "Adventures of..." titles). Both comics were cancelled early on, though. George
  7. The five-part Flash "Armageddon" cross-over finished this evening. I haven't watched any of the episodes, yet. Interestingly, Riverdale has just concluded a five-story arc about "Rivervale," sort of an Earth-2 version of Riverdale. It ended with the 100th episode of the show, and it's a keeper. It had some elements of "Flash of Two Worlds" in that Rivervale was in comic books in Riverdale, and the two Jugheads team up to save both universes. A cute touch was when the actor who played Reggie in some of the early episodes argues with the later Reggie: "I'm Reggie!" "Yeah, for, like, three issues!" There was also a brief "Jughead dies and goes to Pop's in the sky," where all the characters are their sweet, innocent, comic-book selves. One quick scene with Betty, Veronica, and Archie drinking milkshakes was, I believe, the cover of a PEP comic from the early days. This is obviously ALL spoilers, but I don't think any of you are watching the show, so it doesn't matter. If you WOULD like to see the episode (and I recommend it), you can see it starting tomorrow on CW's website https://www.cwtv.com/ George
  8. The disagreement was about which should be the national bird. Ben Franklin favored the turkey. George
  9. "Well, gonna write a little letter, gonna mail it to my local DJ It's a rockin' little record I want my jockey to play." George
  10. Seems vaguely familiar, but that might just be because the theme is so common. George
  11. I Am a Rock "Well, gonna write a little letter, gonna mail it to my local DJ..." George
  12. You were right, which is why I expected you to post a new one. Happy Together "Oh, I need your love, babe, guess you know it's true..." George
  13. Saltpeter(potassium nitrate) has been mined from bird droppings on cliffs in Chile. As sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, sodium chloride, and potassium chloride are all water-soluble, mixing sodium nitrate with potassium chloride would give a mixture of four products. It is possible to prepare potassium nitrate from potassium chloride and AMMONIUM nitrate by chilling a mixture of them. Current manufacture probably uses potassium hydroxide and nitric acid. Don't know the movie. George
  14. Now it only allows a file of 2.4 kB. Sorry, not possible. George
  15. I didn't see the movie, but Robin Williams in a big splash of color -- What Dreams May Come (?) I hate to answer, because I doubt I can post another pic (unless the file size restrictions have changed). George
  16. Well, it would have given it away to me, but sometimes you just can't place a line. Anyway, you are correct. George
  17. "Hey! It's me." "Prove it!" "You're a dick." "Okay." "He's not one of us. There's no way he's going to take orders." "Give him an order worth following. He'll take it." "Does it ever wake you in the middle of the night? The feeling that one day they will pass that foolish law or one just like it, and come for you? And your children?" "It does, indeed." "You know, people like you are the reason I was afraid to go to school as a child. "Magnificent, isn't she?" "I've seen it." "I first saw her in 1949. America was going to be the land of tolerance. Peace." "Are you going to kill me?" "Yes." "Why?" "Because there is no land of tolerance. There is no peace. Not here, or anywhere else. Whole families destroyed, simply because they were born different from those in power. Well, after tonight, the world's powerful will be just like us. ... Our cause will be theirs. Your sacrifice will mean our survival. l'll understand if that comes as small consolation." George
