The Gardener Almanac and an understanding of the characters makes it comprehensible 85% of the time. If you don't understand the characters he's talking about, no transliterative assistance will help

 

[Guy Gardener]

You've no idea how many comics I own. Hell, I've no idea how many comics I own!

There's only 18262 dinners in 50 years, and there's no guarantee that they've all been hot, but if they had all been hot, it's a safe bet that you have more than 18,262 comics.

 

[The Old Mixer]

^That! Right there!

I used to spend my lunch money on comics. So I've skipped a meal or two in favor of comics.

 

[Guy Gardener]

As a teenager I used to have a vicious internal moral struggle every Friday Night.

Comics or Beer.

 

[M.A.C.O.]

You know that I own more comic books than you've had hot dinners Nerys?

This is just ordinary selfloathing.

What about the Legion of Super Heroes?

Their code names are super dumb.

Cosmic Boy?

Triplicate Girl?

Polar Boy?

Color Kid?

Stone Boy?

Lightning lad?

Star Boy?

Sun Boy?

Karate Kid?

Magnetic Kid?

The fellows in charge are (were) taking the piss.

How could you forget the BEST!?
MATTER-EATER LAD!!!

 

[Nerys Myk]

He's a lad who eats all forms of matter. What else could you call him??????

 

[Guy Gardener]

Matter-Eater Lad is awesome with an awesome name, so why would I put him on list of heroes with dumb names?

Paradise Island became Themscyria because Paradise Island is a dumb name.

History has a right side and wrong side.

 

[The Old Mixer]

No list of silly-sounding Legion names is complete without...Bouncing Boy!

A movie set in the twenties would be a great time to introduce Zinda Blake barnstormer who by the movie set in the forties would be part of the Blackhawk squadron. Nothing major in the first movie, a poster or throw away moment in a newspaper or newsreel. A bigger role in the forties would work.

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

I would love to see them use the classic WW outfit for the scenes set in the 20's

 

[Gov Kodos]

He's a lad who eats all forms of matter. What else could you call him??????

Chunk. That's no goonie name.

 

[Icemizer]

I agree her outfit should change from era to era and knowing the movies it will change dramatically just to sell toys.

 

[Silvercrest]

He's a lad who eats all forms of matter. What else could you call him??????

Chunk. That's no goonie name.

Glom.

 

[Turtletrekker]

He's a lad who eats all forms of matter. What else could you call him??????

Chunk. That's no goonie name.

Glom.

Nom-nom.

 

[Silvercrest]

What, no one remembers Glom?

 

[Guy Gardener]

He was in 3 issues of Quasar 20 years ago.

Quasar went to shit after he came back from the dead.

His adventures in the afterlife were actually quite good.

 

[Silvercrest]

I don't think Gruenwald knew what to do with him when he was alive.

For those who still don't recognize this: "Glom" as an alternate name for Matter-Eater Lad is an intentionally stupid joke. Glom is or was a member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard, therefore....

 

[Trevacious]

His adventures in the afterlife were actually quite good.

Sounds interesting. I may just have to look those up, next trip to the comic shop. The only two Quasar stories I remember reading from that run are the Journey Into Mystery 3-parter and the Race issue to see who was the Fastest One Alive.

"Buried Alien."

 

[Silvercrest]

"Well, Buried, how does it feel to be the fastest man alive?"
"It feels... right."
