Time for someone to call up Mighty Mouse Pest Control!
Yo-ho, @Applejack! With three months of Infinite Frontier under our figurative seafaring belts, what high-seas treasures from it have you so far enjoyed the most?
My shiny-shines thus far:
Justice League. Iâm digging Naomiâs inclusion on the team, as well as that of Black Adam. Its also a lot of fun to see Ollie and Dinah kicking ass together once more.
Nightwing. Great ****ing Rao! What a read this series has become! It went from the bottom of the barrel of the wave 1 Rebirth titles for me to the Batman-related Book of Choice⢠for the Infinite Frontier era, thus far. I also the moments between Dick and Babs. Theyâre so cute and sweet together, especially when they got pizza. I loved that scene, and greatly identified with it.
Wonder Girl. Yeah, what a surprise, right? My current comic crushâs starring-title. I bet you didnât see that one coming, matey.
Iâll bet a shiny doubloon that The Swamp Thing is in your list, but what else has put the wind in your seafaring comic sails, Capân?

Aw whatâs a matter @Vroom? Donât you like my Mickey Mouse joke?
I remember Mighty Mouse, he was a cool hero who kept singing HERE I COME TO SAVE THE DAY!
If thatâs annoying, How about Danger mouse? Heâs a mouse with alot of action!
Want something calmer? How about my favorite animated film, An American Tail? Feivel is lost in America, looking for his family.
And there you have it.
The same to you, Mr. President. Got anything fun planned?
Iâm attending a Burger Bash⢠later on. Mmm, grilled Bubba Burgers. Iâve also been assured that copious quantities of the following beverage will be on-hand at said shindig:
Nothing like a patriotic, quite tasty, ass-kicker of a beverage to salute Our Fighting Forces with, I say!
Speaking of comics starring our armed forces in a variety of adventures, one can check out the following series from our vast treasure archives:
Heâs was probably best known in a movie Glory, who was played by Matthew Broaderick.
In 1863 he took charge of 54th Massachusett, having and training African Americans on becoming soldiers.
Being a colonel was short lived, on July 18, 1863 at the age of 25, Col. Shaw lead his men to battle at Fort Wagner in South Carolina. At the edge of the fort he yelled his final words, âForward 54th, Forward!â And was shot 3 time in the chest and fell back as his men continued to fight.
Shaw was buried with his men. His parents decided to leave him buried with his men, thinking thatâs how they wanted it.
I think on May 31st 1897, at Harvard where Shaw himself went before the war, dedicated a statue to his memory.
Iâve been a fan of Shaw ever since I first saw the movie with my cousin. Iâve always thought Shaw was a hero and was sorry he and some of his men lost their lives during the battle.
Glory is indeed a fine, fine movie. Definitely a highlight for all involved (including director Edward Zwick).
I had Saving Private Ryan on earlier. Thatâs one of those very few, very special movies that makes you forget that youâre watching a movie. Instead, you come to feel completely enveloped in the proceedings, as if youâre in the story itself. Itâs absolutely one of Spielbergâs very, very best.
I love âGloryâ itâs such a great film. I also have a Memorial Day tradition of watching something honoring our service men and women, my go to is âBand of Brothers.â
Gotta admitâŚwhile I love Steve and his hilarious pirate antics, Peter is my Dodgeball spirit character. Vince Vaughn and I must have been separated at birth, because weâre quite similar, humor-wise.
admits Peter is his spirit Dodgeball character while also knowing that Christine Taylorâs character, Kate Veatch, wouldnât go for him the way she did for Peter
Hello Oracleâ,
Hope you had a great Memorial Day, Iâve decided to end the day with two music as a tribute to our fallen heroes, we may not know everyone of them, but we are forever thankful for their service.
resumes eating Flanders-style nachos, then spits them out
These suck-diddily-uck! Itâs time for real nacho-reenos.
sends an order to Senor Ding-Dongâs Nacho Hut
Suddenly, Iâm inclined to hum âClose to Youâ, by The Carpenters, specifically the line âWhy do birds suddenly appear?â. Iâve no idea why though.
Excellent Q, @DeSade-acolyte! After this year, lol, it definitely feels like it shouldâve started already. Iâll try to remember to revisit inâŚOctober/November. Lots of other things to do between now and then.
Im trying to get caught up in here so I donât duplicate, but unfortunately I canât stay long enough for that. Here we go: (ahem) Whilst editing wikis Iâve been getting this every once in a while.
The last couple days (under a deadline youâre well aware of ), it caused a slight panic for me and I may have said a few bad language words ( whoooâs to say??), but then it miraculously stopped. Several times I backed out and the wiki edit # jumped up even though I hadnât done anything because it wouldnât let me (on any if my devices). Anyway, thatâs that! All yours! Go team! Hope you have wonderful week. Take care.
suddenly remembers that he owes @Applejack a title, in return for the one she bestowed upon him last week
How aboutâŚEmpress Applejack? I know, I know. Itâs not as involved as âSir Vroomy, Vroom, Vroom of the Order of the Kingdom of Kennerâ (and again, mucho thanks for that, senorita) but it just fits, you know. Youâre royalty, and youâre name is Applejack, so they just mesh, you know?
Unless you want Goddess Applejack, but then youâd be accused of having a God complex.
WellâŚif anyone should have a god complex, it should be you AJ as you rule over us in a delightful way. Okay then, âGoddess Applejackâ it is. However, âEmpress Applejackâ roles off the tongue nicelyâŚ
Ooh! Dig this, cowboy:
âGoddess Applejack, Empress of The Order of DCUI and a Shining Treasure of Treasures That Knows A Bebop-inâ Plate of Beef Outweighs a Plate of Bell Peppersâ
Whew! Youâll need a big-ass business card for that one, but it fits you as well as a Kenner-themed dealio fits me. Yeah? Yeah.
