keithcurtis Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 {puts on kibitzin' hat} Technically that's: "Speed of lightning, ROAR of thunder." {takin' off kibitzin' hat.} I wanted a Roger Ramjet Super Protein Pill, anyway.

Delthrien Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Good... Originally posted by keithcurtis {puts on kibitzin' hat} Technically that's: "Speed of lightning, ROAR of thunder." {takin' off kibitzin' hat.} snip I'm glad I'm not the only one to have caught that error. Now I don't feel quite so old. (Actually, I do, but now it's not quite so depressing.) Anyway, I always wondered if the whole energy pill thing was actually an insidious way to get drugs into prominence in cartoons. I mean, why else pick Wally Cox as the voice of the hero...

proditor Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Heck, how did ole Rex Tyler get his powers? Gool old American pharmacueticals!! Nothing like a pill popping hop head who eventually gets addicted to scream out hero. Mind you, I think Hourman is AWESOME. Just saying is all. Of course it's not as bad as the "Say no to drugs" comic featuring Captain America where he keeps talking about all of his powers. The ones he gained from drugs!

Caped Crusader Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Don't forget Stanley Beamish (Mr. Terrific)! (Though, how he managed to swallow those damn golf balls is anybody's guess...) Now, songs... When you find youself in danger, When you're threatened by a stranger, When it looks like you will take a lickin', (bock, bock, bock, bock) There is someone waiting, Who will hurry up and rescue you, just Call for Super Chicken! Come to think of it, he was into Super Sauce, which might be contrued as a drug... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, HKP was created in '74. Then he was an incompetent lackwit with a cat and a wonky car and a magic book. Now, it's 2004. Add 30 years of experience points, and what do you get? Hell, over slightly more time Sue Richards went from being a chick that turns invisible to the most versatile badass on the team. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally posted by SuperPheemy Where's Hong Kong Phooey when you need him? Horrifyingly enough, I've heard rumors as to the possibility of him getting the dread Hollywood makeover into a feature film. Hopefully it's be more 'They Call Me Bruce' than 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon', not that I don't love wire-fu. I just think he shoud retain the same spirit of clueless idiot he always had.
