Illinois Route 66 - Preparing for 100

In 2026, the Mother Road will celebrate a centennial birthday! Springfield, Illinois, and local communities are preparing for the big celebration. Recently, my husband Keith and I were privileged to be hosted by Visit Springfield. We toured some of the new sites, and revisited Route 66 icons! Come with me and see what is out there to sight see down the highway that beat all the highways ever…

[puckpocketed]

sharks to kings trade !!! your beloveds are sending penpals to each other in the form of players (-puckszone)

the Grundstrom for Burroughs Trade Vibe Check

HELLO beloved jane puckszone my pink scalloped hem my midnight candy gram my mist over still waters… thank you for stopping by i LOVE waking up to trade news in my inbox i LOVE that our california girls are having playdates . 🎶you can check out any time you like, but you can never leaaaveeee 🎶 <- type beat. about the California Swing; this big road trip every team gets subjected to multiple times each season on account of proximity, it used to be MISERABLE and FOUL because at one point we had 3 good teams !! i hope we get back to that one day 🥹🤲

Carl Grundstrom. CARL GRUNDOTHY …!!!!! I am genuinely VERY happy for him 😭💙 he was pushed out of the lineup during playoffs for some unfathomable reason (rat clenching fist of rage about it) . he’ll be getting more minutes on the Sharks GOD WILLING……. did you watch him at worlds? i did…!! i really liked his, idk what to call it, spirit??? like SORRY LAK but you may have fumbled a bad bitch… ough to see him benched and playing like 2 mins a night during playoffs… god he played one 25 second shift during one of those games and meanwhile they were double shifting our beautiful boy quinton byfield WHO WAS ILL BTW… i thought the kings needed grundy’s fighting spirit out there on the ice :(((

anyway adoption papers under the cut!!

Grundy for the Sharks moots:

We call him Grundy (me and you jane puckszone + the two skeletons and four moths on kingsblr) and i think i’ve seen Jim Hiller call him Grunny? grundy sounds better to me so i use that <3

He’s a solid 4th liner i mean this in the best most complimentary way possible… he does SO well … throw him out there to rest your first line and the puck might just do good things!!! my defensively responsible little guy…!! like. i love hard workers they are so dear to me <3

Low key underrated shooter? mostly in that i don’t know if i ever saw him pass loooool but yeah no he has more goals than assists this past season like IF the puck is on his stick he WILL shoot it godbless !!

Perhaps on the Sharks he moves up the depth chart 😭👍 middle-six winger anyone…praying for his success so bad you don’t even KNOW

HITTER!! this boy is big and throws hits! Plays the body when defending, plays the body when forechecking <3. i love you grundy and so does the mike grier Size/Skill/Will agenda. with this trade we are swapping hitter for hitter, but making room on our blue line (Shakir full time NHL arc???? PLEEK)

Grundy might genuinely be a great fit for the Sharks Culture Plan because i never saw a game where he wasn’t extremely invested and intense … i liked that about him vewwy much but that might just be me and my penchant for becoming attached to random depth players 🥹

More broadly, the pattern of picking up guys who need a new opportunity marches on… dellandrea and now grundstrom. we may not have uhhh affordable housing or more than 20 wins but the one thing sj does have in spades is ice time <3

i do wonder what all this does to our guys in the AHL who’ve been very hungry to break through but ough. alas. </3 perhaps that’s a conversation best had on a podcast and not by me, i can’t be objective here!!

on the LAK side of things:

Kyle Burroughs played way too many minutes on a bare bones Sharks defense please don’t look at his uuhhh -42 rating and take it seriously 😭

he might look like a silly guy from a 2010s sitcom but he is in fact a GOON!!! the fighting majors… lordy….. also i haven’t checked the stats recently but last time i did he was right up in the leaderboards for hits.

this move from LA does puzzle me!! Clarke and Spence should be getting more priority ice time next season. the Burroughs trade would push them out of the lineup unless Burroughs is getting put in the AHL or lak get rid of another defenseman.

perhaps an omen? Matt Roy leaving? or perhaps noted gorgeous leg weight Andreas Englund? <- i’m more inclined to this as it seems Burroughs and Englund would occupy the same role!!

endeared by Kyle Burroughs’ moustache deeply <3 him and j.middleton are sisters to me as per one of my posts…

anyway i hope he gets fewer minutes and less rough deployment on the kings jskdjdkgk he truly went THRU it this past season 😭🙏

in conclusion Cali Polycule please come back from the WAR i need this place to be hell on earth again CALIFORNIA SWEEP….!!!!

Welcome to Minnesota!

Bobby of the legendary Dwyer racing family has shown up to a home race of his, the FARC Bummin' Beaver Tornado Alley Tour at Cannon Falls, Minnesota! Bobby's own take on the Blue 72 is fielded by his parents, Darrin Craig and Becky Dwyer, the proprietors of a handful of Dwyer's Speedway Laundromat locations across Minnesota. How fitting of a presence, since Minnesota Motorsports Park looks like a superspeedway that shrank in the wash; one mile of high and wide banking that is expected to produce pack racing for the FARC late models.

Here are the points standings coming into this race:

I'm probably definitely not allowed up here. FARC Lowe Dollar Series regular and Minnesota native Samantha Mason couldn't resist entering tonight's race and returning to the cockpit of a late model. Mason brings her familiar Simplease colors aboard the No. 27 Tonare owned by Mike Buttke. Mason is seen here dueling in practice with Andy Anderson's No. 21 Grease Burger machine, fielded by AnderSend-It Racing. The son of car owner and former FARC competitor Jared Andersen is hoping to build momentum on his second top 10 of the season, a ninth place finish at the caution-free LaCrosse race, but he's been frustrated that he doesn't have more to show for his speed this season, thanks to multiple mechanical failures keeping the pole winner of the opening race in Ishpeming out of better finish.

Despite the tie being broken between championship co-leaders Gordon Tanner (No. 26) and Mindy Gunn (No. 35), the two veteran-aged rookies remain close, with Gunn trailing Tanner by only two points entering tonight. Gordon Tanner may be new to the FARC ranks but he brings with him an extensive background of racing around his home of Iowa, and it showed when he dominated the first two points races at Ishpeming and the Quincy qualifying race. However, he tripped in his point-collecting spree by crashing early in the Quincy feature and struggling in Grundy County, which allowed Mindy Gunn to close up to a tie by winning the latter race. Gunn has enjoyed unexpected breakout success in FARC racing alongside the Mint-Berry Berserkers, the roller derby team-turned-pit crew that she captains. Unlike her championship rival, she did not turn her first laps on a short track until after she was 30 with guidance from crew chief and fellow Berserker Nikki Brillon, but she has learned quickly and taken great advantage of the support from Lynxe this season.

Understanding

Rick accepts an invitation to the Zarick Swift home. Takes place during the summer/between seasons two and three.

Rick Tyler/gn!reader

What the hell am I doing here?, Rick thought as he stood on the porch of the Zarick house that evening, his knuckles rapping on the front door.

The Shade had accompanied him as he reburied Grundy earlier in the day, and he'd invited Rick to join the two of you for dinner. Even though Rick said no, the offer was left open. At the time, he had no intention of accepting, but something brought him there anyway, to the house that you and The Shade had been living out of the past few months.

The door swung open, and he was greeted with a big smile from you. "I was hoping you'd show. Come in!" You moved aside and let Rick step in before closing the door behind him.

When your father told you he'd invited Rick to dinner, it made you just a little anxious. Sure, the two of you hung out at The Pit Stop pretty regularly, but this was totally new territory. None of your new friends had been over yet. Still, you couldn't help grinning, because he actually came.

Before The Shade came to town, the Zarick house had been practically abandoned due to their deaths. Things looked a little different now versus the night Rick had first met the both of you. Instead of dark and dusty, it was well lit and clean. Lived in, like a home was supposed to be, even though it wasn't your actual home.

Considering what Rick knew about The Shade, he imagined your home in Opal City to be more on the creepy side, Gothic and full of old Victorian items from his day. Like something out of an old horror film. The Zarick house certainly wasn't that.

Rick followed as you walked over to the kitchen and peeked your head in. "Papa, Rick's here."

He took a look inside as well and spotted your father, who stood at the stove as he stirred something in a pot. He was down to his white dress shirt, an apron over the top and his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. Seeing the same man who was always dressed so perfectly looking a bit dressed down was just plain weird. But you didn't seem fazed, because to you, it was a normal sight.

"Ah, wonderful," your father said, "Dinner will be ready in about twenty minutes."

"Need any more help?"

"I believe I can handle the rest."

"Okay." You turned back to Rick. "Do you want something to drink? We've got water, tea, juice...?"

"Thanks, I'm alright," Rick replied as he shoved his hands into his jacket pockets.

"Let me know if you change your mind." You started off down the hallway, beckoning him along. "We can hang out in my room until dinner's ready."

Partway down the hall, you stopped in front of a door with a stop sign on it. "I was running around the junkyard one day and saw a ton of stop signs, so I bought one. Not sure what that was about, but I thought it would make a funny decoration."

"The stop signs were a Thunderbolt thing," Rick said, remembering Mike's story of discovering the genie who was now commanded by Jakeem.

"Really! That actually makes so much sense."

When you opened the door, Rick was expecting to walk into a bedroom, not down stairs that led to the basement. He reached the bottom of the steps and stopped behind you, looking around the room that very much screamed you.

One half of the room was more like an average bedroom, with a full sized bed and a giant beanbag chair, as well as an old school tv with an equally as old school gaming console. Near the chair stood a huge bookcase, and next to it a small table and lamp.

The other half held a full drum set, an electric guitar, and a piano. Along with the instruments, you had a turntable and tape deck, accompanied by shelves full to the brim with cassettes and records. The walls were covered in band posters and weird art, except for an image of a skyline above your bed—which he assumed was Opal City—and a Sonic the Hedgehog poster that hung above your tv.

"Welcome to the Flash Cave!" You threw your arms out as if presenting it to him, hoping he didn't hear the nervous waver in your voice. "When we decided to stay in Blue Valley, I finished the basement and moved all of my things here. Just to make it more like home." You'd been particularly eager to set the place up when you found out that the abandoned mansion you were living in at first had actually belonged to the man who murdered your mother. You never wanted to go near that place again.

"You did all of this?" He'd just assumed that the Zaricks were rich enough to have a fully drywalled and carpeted basement.

"I just read a whole lot of books about it and got it done. Can't remember most of it now, though."

Right. You'd told him before that when you read at superspeed, you couldn't retain information for long. Your powers didn't give you the same advantage in education as they did in other things.

Rick walked further into the room, hands still in his pockets as he looked around. He stopped by the collection of instruments in the corner. "You never mentioned that you play."

"Oh yeah." You appeared at the drumkit and played a simple beat for a few moments. "Papa wanted me to learn piano, so I told him I'd do it if he let me learn to play the guitar. We made the same deal when I wanted to learn the drums. He put me in violin lessons, but those didn't stick. I do like the piano, though." Then you were over at the piano bench, playing a tune he thought might be familiar. "Have you ever played an instrument?"

"No, I haven't."

"Maybe I could teach you sometime." When you thought about it, you could imagine him playing the drums. It was nice to whale on the drums when you were upset and needed a constructive way to let out some anger. That was clearly something that could help him.

"Maybe..." His eyes skimmed the collection of tapes. Most of them had handwritten labels, like mixtapes. They were what you listened to daily, with that old Walkman you always kept on your hip. Your record collection was much bigger, but clearly not portable like the tapes. You had to have had every classic from Abba to ZZ Top, at least everything from before the turn of the century.

You noticed him looking at the record collection and appeared next to him. "Some of these belonged to my mom. She was a real rock and roller. The Kinks, The Stones...stuff like that." You plucked an album from the shelf and sat down on the carpet, patting the spot next to you. With only a moment of hesitation, Rick joined you.

"This was one of her favorites," you said as you showed him the jacket for The Beatles' first album. "At least I think so. I can't remember her much, besides the day she died. But this album was already worn out the first time I tried to play it. It sounds pretty bad, just popping and crackling the whole time. She must have loved it to play it that much."

You imagined that she would drop the needle, then sing and dance to every song. Maybe she even danced with you. You liked to think she did, at least. Sometimes, you dared to think about what it would be like if she were still alive. Would you go to record stores and search through the bins together? Would you and her go to concerts and scream along to the lyrics at the top of your lungs?

It never did any good to think about 'what if', but you couldn't help that sense of longing.

"I don't remember my mom either." Because of Hourman and the JSA, everything seemed to be about his dad. But his mom was equally as loved and missed, and equally as mysterious to him. He knew exactly how you felt, and he knew from experience that nothing he could say would make a difference. "She was an actress. She did plays mostly. A few movies, too. I tried to watch one once, but it wasn't the same."

Rick nearly jumped when you placed a hand on his shoulder and simply looked him in the eye without another word. Instead of pity or awkwardness at this uncomfortable topic, the look you shared with him was full of pure understanding.

As you gave his shoulder a gentle squeeze, your father called from the basement door. "Time for dinner, children!"

Rick stood first and helped you to your feet, waiting for you to slip the record back into its proper place. Together, you headed to the bottom of the steps, but you stopped him before going up. "If you ever need to talk about these things, I'm here..."

"Me, too."

DHD: they accidentally make the STRIPE armor a sentient robot in its own right

It was like the universe itself had it out for STRIPE. No matter what the threat was, STRIPE was somehow always out of commission-- taken to pieces, sabotaged, stuck halfway up a cliff when it turned out that icy mountains and car parts rebuilt into a robot were not a great mix... somehow.

Except, Jakeem had noticed, it always worked when it really mattered. And it really, really mattered now.  His eyes darted, trying to account for his team, trying to make some kind of Plan for a wish.  

STRIPE was down, blasted hard into the side of a building and  Pat was not responding on Coms. Jakeem hoped it was just that the coms were as fried as everything else electronic, and not that he was...hurt. Courtney  and Artemis were airsupport, Artemis up  on a rooftop somewhere he couldn't see, and Cindy stood over a fallen Mike, both her blades out and bloody as she defended him from their attackers. 

It wasn't going to be enough. Jakeem tried his best to stay out of the thick of things, like Beth, and he could weigh chances almost a half of a quarter as well as she could. maybe. But still, it didn't take Dr. Midnite's goggles to see that Cindy was swaying from bloodloss, that Mike's movements were getting feebler, that Artemis was going to run out of crossbow bolts sooner rather than later. 

"I wish," he said, trying to think of exact words. While the 'specific' aspect wasn't as important--Yz knew what he meant, and was pretty good about sticking to the spirit of things when it was life-or-death, the 'can't make the same wish twice' part was still very much a key restriction. "That the STRIPE robot made by Pat, Mike, and Zeek, was fully functional right now, with the power to save my friends from the were-hyenas currently trying to eat them."

"I've got just the thing! Oh, I've been wanting to do this for ages!" Yz sparked pink, and the lightning struck STRIPE. Jakeem held his breathe as the Robot's hand twitched, then moved, the whole thing righting and interposing between the weird monster thing and Cindy. 

"I had it," she said, but seemed to be glad of the cover, pulling Mike to his feet and getting him out of the road while STRIPE  sent the attackers flying.

With STRIPE back online, the tide turned, and the JSA focused more on offense, enough to drive the  creatures back, with Grundy to harry them.  They'd regroup, figure out the real plan, how to stop the things for good. 

STRIPE  crouched down, tilting its head like it was studying them.

"Hello," echoed  the voice, and Jakeem frowned. it didn't sound right, like Pat's voiced amplified. 

"Dad?" Mike asked, picking up on the same issue. 

The chestplate moved, opening. Jakeem could see the blood-- not much of it. Pat's eyes were closed, but--

"He's breathing, oh, thank god." Courtney announced, reaching him first. "Beth, call your mom!"

"My passenger is in need of medical attention," STRIPE said. "Who else is in need of medical attention?"

"Hold up," Rick said, ever suspicious. "Who are you?"

"I am STRIPE."

"Yeah, but like... who? Is that Zeke?" Yolanda asked, limping slightly as she approached.  One of the Hyenas had gotten a lucky bite. 

"I am...STRIPE," STRIPE said. "I do not understand."

"Are you another AI?" Beth asked. "Like Chuck?"

"Optimus Prime?" Mike  blinked, shaking his head and promptly realizing why doing that with a concussion was frowned upon. 

"Uh. I think that's my bad," Jakeem said, holding up the pen. 

"You wished for the robot--" Artemis started

"My name is STRIPE," STRIPE interrupted helpfully.

"To be... alive?" Artemis finished.

"Well, not in so many words," Jakeem shrugged. "It worked though, right?"

Review Roundup: What Did the Critics Think of Mike Faist and Lucas Hedges in BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN?

The world premiere of Ashley Robinson's play with music, Brokeback Mountain, has now opened @sohoplace.

By: Aliya Al-Hassan May. 19, 2023 [adapted]

[…] Abbie Grundy: BroadwayWorld: Mike Faist is charismatic and endearing as Jack, able to shift from a young man filled with childish naivety and dreams one moment to a man who never got what he wanted with fluidity and ease. He is partnered fantastically. […] They (Mike and Lucas) share a chemistry that crackles rather than sparks - it's rough and raw - and they manage to convey this within every single scene.

Sarah Crompton: WhatsOnStage: One moment Jack and Ennis seem to be strangers, the next - without much warning, or a sign of a spark - they are grappling (discreetly) inside a tent. The intimacy between them is established but not the depth of their affair over 20-odd years. It's a big ask for a play to establish that kind of arc, but Butterell's slightly frantic direction increases the sense of speeding along the surface and the device of having the older Ennis watching the action feels intrusive rather than illuminating.

Sam Marlowe: The Stage: Faist and Hedges are riveting […] while Faist's Jack, more comfortable in his own skin, radiates volatile charisma. There is a fragile boyishness beneath the rugged toil and tough, terse talk. And the sex, often either followed or preceded by physical fights, is sensitively handled, from the initial bumping of boots in a tent to tender bare-chested clinches.

[…]

Clive Davis: The Times: What about the sex scenes, I hear you asking? They're more muted than in the film. There's a good deal of kissing, groping and a hint of nudity, including when Faist washes his nether regions with a cloth. But Butterell wisely confines the crucial first bout of love-making to a discreet fumbling in a tiny, lighted tent.

[…]

Bob Verini: New York Stage Review […] Just as boldly, it offers lead performances from Mike Faist and Lucas Hedges that can stand without apology against those of Jake Gyllenhaal and the late Heath Ledger – different, but no less emotionally true.

DC's Stargirl 3.13 "Chapter Thirteen: The Reckoning" has aired on the CW and I'm here to talk about it.

This is it. Series finale. We've had three wonderful seasons of this show that were split between two different networks, one of which doesn't exist anymore. I can't wait to see how this all ends. I'm hoping we'll get a kind of epilogue scene or something to give us an idea of what's next.

The way Jordan is using Starman, in reality Ultra-Star as I call him now, in his old plot from season 1 almost makes that plan better. Almost. It was still a really dumb plan. But also holy shit, they're actually showing us this?? And as he was truly dying, all Starman could do is call for Pat?? I'm crying.

So the JSA isn't putting together that Ultra-Star is Ultra-Star, but they have realized that he's not who he says he is and that he's been manipulating them the whole time. I like when this show lets them be smart.

Jordan further manipulating Cameron against Courtney and the JSA. And I like how Grandpa Mahkent is still at least kind of on Cameron's side in all this. I do still buy that Grandpa did want to put all this blood feud shit behind them all. But obviously, Jordan isn't to let that happen.

Pat's alive!!! I'm not surprised they didn't actually kill him (especially by burying him alive, that's so dark for this show), partially because we just got this big speech from Courtney about how Pat's her dad and she's so fucking thankful for that. Now, they still might kill him, but I'm betting that they won't.

Here we are, all the way back to the junkyard. We've seen this place quite a few times. Awe, Barbara is going to find Artemis so she can get her vengeance. That's sweet. I love how we only ever see S.T.R.I.P.E. in the season finales.

Okay, there's not gonna be a lot of commentary for the fight. It's hard to do. We'll check in at the big moments.

Grandpa taking a stand!! Good for him. And Grandma got crushed by a car that she shot down! That's what I call comeuppance. Jakeem finally gets how the thunderbolt works. Barbara to the rescue! Cameron joining the side of good.

Fuck yes Courtney! This has been an awesome arc for her, I'm so fucking happy to see her get this moment. She's struggled with feeling worthy, feeling like she was enough for the Staff, for anybody. Not just through this season but over the course of the entire show. And now, she's not just finally accepting that she is. She's choosing it. So much of Stargirl has been about choice. About what legacies we choose to continue, who we honor, and how. For one of, if not really the first time, Courtney is choosing herself. She's choosing to honor what she made.

You know, getting the fuck out of Blue Valley is probably what's best for Cameron. I just wish we'd get the chance to see what he chooses to do next. Personally, I'm hoping that he really does become an artist with his powers. Cameron Mahkent could do something truly beautiful.

All of these confessions and family moments. I'm gonna fucking cry. Beth's parents want to give Beth (and maybe Rick) a new costume. And I'm glad about it. One of the things I always wanted was for them to get new suits. Something to honor the past but be something new for them. Courtney made her own suit, and Yolanda's changed itself to fit her but has all sorts of different detailing when you compare it to what little we saw of Ted's version. Beth and Rick deserve that too. Yet again hoping for an epilogue scene so we can maybe see them.

What's left of Starman will forever and always be calling out for his best friend to save him.

Mike's meeting his mom! Goddamnit, I'm crying again. Fuck this show. And he called Barbara Mom. Courtney is meeting Gambler's daughter. She gave Becky his card. Fulfilled his final wish. Here's Grundy. Everybody gets a moment. Yolanda is even getting a chance with her mom. Courtney and Cameron finally get their moment. The whole family's together.

Of course, Jordan's alive. But Artemis has come for her revenge. He won't be alive for long. Homegirl burned his ass alive. Comeuppance.

Ten Years Later - Epilogue scene!

Tour guide Shade?? JSA Museum?? Courtney became Starwoman. Cindy became Dragon Queen. Jennie & Todd joined. It looks like Mike did become S.T.R.I.P.E. 2.0 eventually. Cameron, Jakeem, & Artemis joined. Sand I assume is Sandy Hawkins, ward/child of Wesley Dodds the Sandman. Damage is most likely Grant Emerson, son of the original Atom. Beth and Rick did get together and are getting married (officiated by Shade, hilarious). Even Grundy got to join!

Holy shit they did a lot.

Jay Garrick?? Hello??? Why do they have to tease us with this in the series finale? But maybe a hint that they'll be some Stargirl characters in the final season of Flash? Maybe just a way to show that the story never really ends. Who knows.

But no matter what, this is the end of this story.

You know, when Stargirl was first announced as part of the lineup of DC Original shows from DC Universe, I never intended to watch it. I didn't know anything about the character, or who her supporting cast might be. But I can now firmly say that this show has made Courtney Whitmore one of my favorite comic characters of all time. And I truly think that this show is among the very best of what this genre can do. I'm so glad I've given this show a chance.

I'm gonna be cheesy for a moment. I don't have a large audience, I'm not going to pretend I do. But I do have a handful of people who have been here for these little commentary posts since the beginning. I'm really happy I decided to do this. It's been a really good time. And I hope that you all enjoyed it. It's been a wild ride.

This show has meant a lot to me. Thank you, Stargirl for showing us what it really means to be a hero. Until next time.

[granolabird]

With the Stargirl finale day I'm finally doing a silly little bit that I've been meaning to do for ages,,, Here's an incorrect quotes for Stargirl characters, but only using things me and my friends have said in our group discord server.

.

Rick (speaking to Grundy): "Jesus christ dude first you lay down in the middle of the street, Now you're trying to eat KFC off the curb, what the fuck is wrong with you?"

Mike: "I love the lion king! The Rat and The Hippo make that movie"

Jakeem: "You mean the Meerkat and the Warthog??"

Courtney: "Someone on Facebook is asking where you can buy a pinata other than bulk barn."

Cindy: "The daycare. I'm sure if you hit a little kid in the stomach with a stick hard enough they'll vomit up some candy for you."

Pat: "In the words of the great Backstreet boys, Stop. Collaborate. And Listen."

Barbara: "A kid at work choked on a hotdog today."

Paula: "Did he die?"

Barbara: "No."

Paula: "Oh..... Why?"

Yolanda: "I hate neighbors. All I want to do is sit at home and practice fighting like a proper Vigilante but nooooo you gotta talk to me. Who gave you the right to live beside me? Fuck off."

Sylvester: "Listen, I told Jesus to take the wheel and he made me rich"

Beth: "Fine, okay. Maybe I'm a loveable fuzzball."

The Ultrahumanite: "Who cares about being hot when you can be a little fucking goblin in the woods."

Courtney: "The school called saying my brother sawed a chair in half"

Jordan: "I cast Norway upon thee!"

Crusher: "Murder, murder, murder, and then you get mentioned on a murder podcast!"

Cindy: "You are not at the top of the dissection list. But there is a list."

Yolanda (referring to Cameron): "He's terminally straight"

Artemis: "Take that! I just pistol whipped a bitch but with my arm!"

Deer gets hit by a car

Cameron: I wish that were me.

Jakeem: “Don’t kill me, I was born in 2012!”

Cindy: "Have you ever seen Moulin Rouge?"

Mike: "No sorry, I don't watch cartoons other than Dragon Ball Z"

Beth: What does a milliner make?

Rick: Millions.

Beth: Hats. They make hats.

Will try to say things I haven't seen mentioned here before 1) Grundy coming back to fight Albino Gorilla Dragon-King 2) Artemis being the one who finishes off Jordan Mahkent (similar to Mike in Season 1, but in a permanent way)

3) (Maybe unpopular one) Cameron going berserk after his father's (second) death and attacking the JSA, and Courtney has to fight him. Could end with him defeated, and his grandfather convincing him to let go of the anger, but I still want to see Cameron being just evil for a while and Courtney realizing he's not the one for her.

This is a good list!! I also want Artemis to have some role in this, the final shot would be very satisfying. I still want Cameron to kill Jordan but if he isn’t able to shatter him, Artemis should! He shattered her parents!! Also I realized that with fire going off from the staff, if Icicle does get killed, the fire would likely burn all the ice chips, right??? I don’t think your last point is that unpopular! I also want to see Cameron go full Icicle Jr against the JSA. It’s time.

Batman Intimidation

by JosephFrostsGhost This is a story taking place between Batman ��89 and Batman Returns. Yes, I’m quite aware of Batman Resurrection, and I’ve been reading it. I’m half way through the book, and I’m rather disappointed in what’s been given. However, I was working on what I call regularly a script series called “The Sandwich Trilogy”, which was a trilogy of scripts that took place between those two Tim Burton movies long before Batman Resurrection was even considered a potential thing, and as such, I’ve decided to adapt my scripts into a novel or series of novels. This, unlike Resurrection, completely ignores Sam Hamm’s Batman ’89 and Echoes comic series. I do, however, utilize Sam Hamm’s old Batman 2 screenplay from years ago for aspects of this story.
