That last name rings a bell very, very faintly. Is there another role?

Can we get one more clue, even a little one?

That will probably change if they green-light the "Batwoman" series. (If they do, I hope they recast the title role.) Oh, and the Doom Patrol? More angst, and less coherent than all the others put together.

Better that than dragging on aimlessly for 14 more seasons or something.

I'm deliberately behind on Arrow, but I will catch up soon enough. It's Gotham, then Arrow, then Black Lightning for me, with us watching Flash and LoT together when they air. BTW, do you know Rob Liefield tried to cross over "Highlander" with the X-titles back in the 90s? Look up the "externals", aka the "highlords." They were supposed to be mutants who became immortal after being fatally wounded. Apocalypse, Exodus, Gideon and Cannonball were all supposed to be them. (Gideon thought Sunspot was supposed to be one, which is why he cultivated Sunspot as a student.)

I recognized him from the story (which was reprinted at some point.) BTW, Bork was written as a one-off villain because the source of his powers was destroyed in the issue in which he was introduced (that one.) I thought of this cover when Judge Bork was trying to get on the Supreme Court in the 1980s. Later, he was re-introduced as a member of the Power Company (along with "Manhunter", who had died in an explosion, but actually returned in a sensible fashion.) Since the Power Company was pretty obscure, he's still fairly forgotten. In fact, I think the surviving members should join the Forgotten Heroes. ;)

Yes it was- one who rode a dinosaur and wore wildcat- hide. Davy Crockett might have been said to do the latter, but not the former.

Yet you still didn't include even ONE band? *sighs* Go ahead, that was this song.

Katherine Hepburn The African Queen Humphrey Bogart

"The cats don't bug him cuz they know bettah, Cuz he's a mean motah scootah and a bad go-gettah." "He's the toughest man there is alive. Wearin' clothes from a wildcat's hide." "He sure is hip, ain't he? Like what's happening? He's too much. Ride, Daddy, ride." "Hi-yo dinosawruh. Ride, Daddy, ride Get 'em, man. Like--hipsville."

You've definitely heard this song at some point. By one artist or another.

That was a serious ingredient, or is this a comment that bacon improves everything?

I'm hoping someone can help you with that specific recipe. Just in case they can't, I checked some of the websites with recipes. I didn't find that one, but a few had some good vegetable soup recipes you might want to look over. Something might be close to what you want. To be specific, www.cooks.com and www.allrecipes.com had some options. (The other sites I checked did not.)

1976 was a busy year for twi. This was the thread for experiences at the time, recollections related to 1976 and twi.

This was the second of the "eyewitnesses" threads, looking for accounts from people who were "there." It has actual accounts from people who were there, :)

This was the first "Eyewitnesses" thread, looking for personal accounts of twi from that time-frame. As you can see, the gleanings were lean, but it's worth reviewing.

"He's the toughest man there is alive. Wearin' clothes from a wildcat's hide." "He sure is hip, ain't he? Like what's happening? He's too much Ride, Daddy, ride."

Ok, next one. "He sure is hip, ain't he? Like what's happening? He's too much Ride, Daddy, ride."

Those are some bands I listen to from time to time, but I didn't expect GSC'ers to join me there. :) BTW, I think of "oldies" as more "Les Brown and His Band of Renown" and other things predating Sinatra. Then again, Mrs Wolf is a Sinatra fan, so that does shape my view somewhat. As a Marx Brothers fan, I do acknowledge that some old-time stuff stands the test of time very well, whether music, or movies, or books, and so on. I tend to think I listen to anything between Norah Jones and Rob Zombie, with "I can make out the lyrics" as a hard rule for the hardest stuff, which is how RZ makes it in.

A) This black-and-white cartoon featured a shape-changing doodle and his dog, Mighty Manfred the Wonder Dog. His hat was shaped like a funnel and was the source of his powers. He seemed to think of himself as some sort of super-hero. In an attempt to revive him, Haley Joel Osment was cast to be his voice actor. TV Guide rated him in their list of Top 50 Greatest TV Cartoon Characters. George identified "Tom Terrific", taking the round. B) This inept super-team was invented by Ralph Bakshi. They included Strong Man, Rope Man, Tornado Man, Cuckoo Man, and Diaper Man (a super baby, not drawn as an adult despite an adult voice.) This was "the Mighty Heroes." I kept misremembering the last one as "Baby-Bottle Man." (He carried one.) C) Creekmud Junction, Tennessee had a canine lawman, who was white and wore a black hat. "Deputy Dawg." D) These mischievous twin brothers got into all sorts of trouble, and didn't seem to have individual names. Their Papa was played for comedic value and had a short temper and was as inept as most Dads on TV at the time. Paul Terry's "TERRY BEARS." E) This little black duck was sometimes played as a duck on a farm, and sometimes as an orphan looking for a home. An attempt at a revival had him voiced by Dee Bradley Baker. "Dinky Duck." F) This little brown mouse had a clever name, but otherwise seems to have nothing noteworthy, and has faded into obscurity. "Little Roquefort." G) This little yellow canary had a speedy voice and a green hat. His foe was Sylvester the Fox. "Dingbat." H) This dopey dog spun off into his own cartoon for two whole episodes. He's remembered more for being a gadfly for 2 mischievous characters who had their OWN cartoon. "Dimwit Dog", and George identified him also. I) This bow-tied goose had a voice patterned after Ed Wynn. He actually appeared in the crowd at the end of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" "Gandy Goose." You can get lots of details at the Terry Toons wiki. https://terrytoons.fandom.com/wiki/The_Terrytoons_Wiki I imagine lots of them are on YT and/or DM. I know Tom Terrific is on YT.

So, yes, George got that (A) was "Tom Terrific", and also identified "Dimwit Dog" and took the round twice over. Next comes naming the bunch....

Ok, if she was going to respond, she should have by now. We're closing out this round and moving on. Explanations to follow in a few minutes...

My first reaction was that this was nonsense- born without a brain? However, it is technically possible, and there's been a few stories with that sort of thing, and someone surviving and growing. https://www.cbc.ca/passionateeye/features/the-boy-born-without-a-brain-is-now-a-practical-joker-who-loves-playing-mar https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3293259/Baby-born-without-brain-amazes-doctors-celebrating-second-birthday-says-Mummy-time.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wu47BpI4ld8 I don't recommend everyone watch the video I linked. There's some of us who have trouble watching videos like that. (I can't watch all of it.) Those are 3 different stories, with 3 different degrees of success. So, there's stories of people surviving who were basically born with a brain stem but not an accompanying full brain. There's information at this link from wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anencephaly ========================= As to the guy in the connected video, his facial structure and so on MIGHT be for such a person, or it might not. Going only from that, it's plausible. The later part of the entire video finally shows his forehead, and it is unlikely there's neither brain nor cranial abnormalities. That is not a standard forehead. That having been said, everything else is hearsay. It might all be true, it might all be otherwise false. It might have big truths alongside big lies. I didn't see any documentation of specifics. ========================= (BTW, if you're going to make us look for the video- and this wasn't hard to find this time due to some details- please include both the name of the video and the name of the account under which it was posted. It's better if you learn to copy and paste the URL, though.)

I'm trying to give Mrs Bean a few more hours. I'll update with the answers Sunday afternoon if there's no response for her through Human.

I'm surprised you both know this one. Another spoken line in this song is "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" , and this song is by Jet. which is almost a 1-hit wonder.
