Shadow Hawk

Be careful about what's behind the bad guy, it might be valuable.

Excuse me, but have you seen my bucket?

For Johnny Storm, I would say his powers were on a endurance battery with a low recovery rate.

New Topic: Against all odds, there's a Champions movie being made! Who's in it, and what roles are they playing?

Foxbat is playing himself.

Watch out, he's got a spring loaded cat up his sleeve!

According to my son in law (US Army), all army bases are named for people.  The Air Farce uses the same rules as he Army.  Marine Corps bases are named for people EXCEPT for the ones they acquired from the Navy, which may keep the original name.  But the Navy always changes the name to the location.  So Army Camp Kearny became Naval Air Station Miramar became Marine Corps Air Station Miramar.

And more knowitallness: With six to ten navy ships stationed here, thier should be a small helicopter field on base or nearby (Perhaps an annex at the airport?) to support the helos assigned to the ships.

Also: coast guard station at the port.  Not enormous, enough to support some rescue boats and maybe a cutter.  Plus, again, a annex at the airport for rescue helicopters and search and rescue aircraft.

OOOH!  National Guard units.  Maybe Air National Guard also.  But the airport annex is filling up.  So no ANG, but some regular National Guard.

The island would have been home to a fort at one point.  Destroyed and built over (likely), abandoned, monument/museum, still in use?  If it was near the port (likely built to protect the port) the Navy might have taken over the property, destroying the fort and building over it save for some 'useful' things like magazines.

And there  I go again.

Nit picky unimportant detail.  I've never seen a U.S. naval base named for a person.  Unlike the other services, the navy names bases after locations, sometimes foolishly.  For instance, Navy Base San Diego is divided into subdivisions, the largest is "32nd Street Naval Station San Diego".  The carriers dock at Naval Air Station North Island, the submarines at Sub Base Point Loma, the S.E.A.L.s train at Naval Amphibous Base Coronado...

So, unless your universe is different (and no reason why it wouldn't be) the navy base would be "Naval Base Avalon" with the main installation being "Naval Station East Port".

And you might consider having a named Admiral in command of the base, and a lower ranking Admiral or Navy Captain commanding the station. 

Since you didn't mention an air base or marine camp, the base is probably home to a surface squadron of one or two cruisers, three or four destroyers, one or two frigates, and one or two replenishment oilers.  It would probably have a dock big enough for a nuclear carrier but none homeported thier.  At any given time, you'd probably have 1/3 of the ships deployed away from the area, 1/3 active in the area, and a final 1/3 undergoing repairs.  The surface squadron would have a junior Admiral commanding.

Goodness, I sound like a know it all.

A: You do realize there is no air on the moon, right?

Q: Care to step outside and say that?

A: It's a long way to Tipperary.

NT:  Next Olympic venue, even worse that Sochi.

Summer Olympics: Punta Arenas, Argentina.

Winter Olympics: Brasilia, Brazil.

I believe the term is "Heterosexual Life Partner".  In the time that JRRT was growing up, for two men (or two women) to share a living place and other properties with a close friend was not unusual.  In public, of course everything was Very Proper English.  In private, well some were not so proper, but many were.

NT:  Rejected Olympic Events

The Recievers Decathalon: Javelin Catch, Discus Catch, Shot Put Catch, Archery Catch, and Shooting Catch.

Shadow Hawk: Ensign Newpilot flunked his flight safety quiz.

CDR Oldpilot: How did he manage it.

Shadow Hawk: The safe altitude over downtown San Diego is NOT three feet, Commander.

CDR Oldpilot: Oh good lord.

Non Aircrew PO: Sir, if you're flying three feet over downtown, do you have to obey traffic signals?

CDR Olfpilot: Shutup, Petty Officer.

NT:  Unexpected Super Bowl predictions

The game never ends, because Foxbat will steal the game clock.

NT: Other criminal attacks on the Super Bowl.

New Topic: Subtle signs that the cheerleaders are really meta-humans/mutants/aliens/whatever.

Thier mere presense on the field causes teenage males to drool.

No, wait, that's normal.

New Topic: I've got first semester final grades calculated and posted. Now what?

Disneyland.

For those who don't remember, I work on a Navy base.

Pilot trainee: Do you have any paper for the printer?

Me: The printer with the big sign on it?

Pilot: Yes, that one.

Me: Did you happen to read the sign?

Pilot: Yes, it said "out of ink".  What does that have to do with whether or not you have any paper.

Chief Petty Officer: You graduated from the Naval Academy, right?

Their presence was causing property values to plummet and insurance premiums to soar.

 

NT: Signs that the current winter storm is the work of some nefarious being.

It is freezing cold everywhere... except San Diego, where it's a toasty 70's.  It's obviosly the work of a Southern California real estate agent, trying to sell houses!

Q:  Is this synaptic inhibitor safe?

 

A:  The planet transforms into a giant robot.

Q: What's the Tranformers IV movie got going for it?

A: But no Lions, or Tigers, or Bears, oh my.

A - Dihydrogen monoxide! RUN!

Q: Wait, Elphaba!  What's wrong?

A: A universal solvent, that's what.

Q: Why is my character laying in the bottom of a 50-foot spiked pit and bleeding out?

 

A: Take my advice. Let the Wookie win.

Q: My Arm!  My Arm!  Why did he rip out my arm?!?

A: There are very few problems that cannot be solved with a suitable application of high explosives.

Q: Antimatter condoms?!?!!!

 

A: No, you cannot point the telescope at dorm windows.

Q: It's boring here on Mount Palomar.  Could we peek at the college?

A:  Fumble!

The good guys are all busy enjoying a holiday with their families and will be too doped up on tryptophan to thwart his schemes.

 

NT: Signs that you really shouldn't have eaten that last piece of pumpkin pie.

Doctor Destroyer wanted it.

And that's three.

NT: Things to do on Black Friday that are worse than shopping.

New Topic: The most bizarre thing you've ever eaten at Thanksgiving. Difficulty: Must be real.

After a late night military watch, I went to bed after breakfast and slept thru the base's thanksgiving dinner.  When I awoke, I walked 2-3  miles searching for a open resteraunt.  I found a open movie theatre, where I watched the movie "Memphis Belle" while eating two movie hot dogs, a plate of nachos, and a large soda.

NT: Subtle signs your kid's entire kindergarten class is on steroids.

They're starting for the Oakland Raiders.

NT: You named your dog what?
