Wow. This one's been dormant for a while... "Uh I've just been handed a news flash. The word "Canada" is unrhymeable. It's easier to - I don't know - get drunk and try to climb a bull

right, Tom.
The Bat-Cave had a huge atomic pile, powering all the Bat-junk.
I'm sure it would have made the good people of Gotham City comfortable had they known.

OK... I know this is predictable but...
Well, let's have the hotcakes and get it over with.

Farm living is the life for me.

I remember one episode when Oliver used the residue from around Lisa's hotcakes to make a valve gasket for his car!

that's correct!
...he used a hotcake, cut out the holes for the cylinders and used it for a head gasket on the tractor that was always breaking
(but you had the right idea!)

My favourite Tick quotes come from when Arthur and Tick were trying to choose a battlecry.
Arthur: "How about 'not in the face, not in the face'? We say that anyway."
But Tick selected "SPOON!" and used it in a number of episodes.
