Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Kill-this-Thread III:The Thread That Would Not Die

I Remember Mama is a play by John Van Druten. Based on the memoir Mama's Bank Account by Kathryn Forbes, it focuses on a loving family of Norwegian immigrants living on Steiner Street in San Francisco in the 1910s.

Produced by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, the Broadway production opened on October 19, 1944 at the Music Box Theatre and ran for 713 performances.

The cast included Mady Christians, Oscar Homolka, Joan Tetzel, and Marlon Brando, making his Broadway debut.

Ohmygod! So like was there any magic or scifi in that play?

(Other than special effects to make Mr Marlin Brando look skinny...)

Thank you for your kind offer, Kent, but unfortunately my budget is stretched to the breaking point, and I've been having to find new pop culture thrills without spending money.

Your local library might have the series.

I hope so. I've read so many good comics and novels thanks to the library.

Ohmygod! The novels are so much better than the comics... And I'm like a huge Foglio Fan.

I've been thinking, if we're casting Legion Worlders as characters from the Myth books, wouldn't it be neat if we also cast Legion Worlders as, say...the characters from L.E.G.I.O.N.?

Now, you might think I'd cast myself as Stealth, but I wouldn't. I'd be Lydea Mallor.

Tamper Lad, of course, would be Vril Dox.

Caliente as Stealth?

Fat Cramer as Lyrissa Mallor? No, I could never kill loveable Cramer. Strata, then?

What are your ideas, folks?

Ohmygod! Are you trying to like Kill This Thread?

I didn't really follow dot-Legion enough to participate.
but shouldn't Stealth = Stealth?

Stealth is who I wish I could be more like; Lydea is who I am most like in real life.

While I was away from the board, I thought of another one:

LardLad as Garv?

Well, Garv and I do have Ultimate Coolness in common, so I would agree with that casting!

Awesome!

And how about Outdoor Miner as Captain Comet? Miner, are you reading this?

Stephbarton as Phase?

I'm sure Miner would be honored by the suggestion. From what little I know, I tend to doubt he is around on these boards much (or at all).

That's too bad, but it happens. I hope he comes back soon. He's a lot of fun.

I don't think I've purposely been posting less lately, but with the family emergency I've had recently and a few other things, I know I've slowed down a bit.

Miner could be the Durlan: here for awhile, then mysteriously gone.

more like Caine from Kung Fu, wandering from place to place doing good and moving on.

Ohmygod! Is there anybody who like wanders from place to place, makes a bunch of like hilariously funny one line comments, and then like moves on?

well, yeah. Outdoor Miner himself, of course.

Didn't you ever hear gramps tell you tales of Miner One-Liners saving the day, thwarting evildoers and rescuing villagers?

[plays more Ralph Vaughn Williams to lure Rocky out of hiding]

So does Outdoor Miner have an LMB nemesis called Indoor Miner ? Just wondering...

I suspect so, but Indoor Miner has yet to reveal himself...

(cue ominous music)

When he does, we can charge him with indecent exposure.

but if you charge him, doesn't that mean you've already lost the potential to defend him as your client?

I feel guilty discussing this when we don't even know the words to the Ominous Theme Song yet.

Gir: I'm gonna sing the Doom Song now. Doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom
[Screen goes black and then displays a message: Six Months Later]
Gir: Doom doom doom doom doomy doomy doom doomy doom doom doom doom doom doom doom
[continues singing]

Now that we know the Ominous Theme Song, do we also have to learn the Ominous Theme Song Dance?

(And Cleome, I'd rather hear good ol' Ralph than the Ominous Theme Song any day <switches on "Five Mystical Songs">.)
