Okey-Dokey. Celeste McCauley changed her last name (And who could blame her?) to "Rockfish", yet people always seemed to get it wrong. What did they call her and to what TV show did it pay tribute?

I don't remember anyone ever *calling* her Rockford, but I do recall that the name was a tribute to 'The Rockford Files'.

yes, Matt, Dirk called her Rockford back around v.4 #6 (or thereabouts), when he hires her for Earthgov.
The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

What Titanian wedding tradition was seen twice in the pre-boot, and who were the participants in each of those ceremonies?

If CMK, is referring to what I think he's referring to, he'll have to come up with a new question.
Wedding wands were used on Titan as part of the 5YL wedding of Tenzil Kem & Eve Aries/"Saturn Queen"; but when wedding wands were first shown in Adventure Comics 337 (at the double wedding of Lightning Lad & Saturn Girl, and Ultra Boy & Phantom Girl), they were descibed as a wedding custom of Bgztl.
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Bouncing Boy: try to take over the United Planets!!"
They're B.B. and The Brain ...

That is what I was referring to - I'll have to re-check Adventure # 337, I just assumed (since they were at the Saturn Queen-Tenzil wedding) that it was Titanian.
Excellent answer, BRM - you're up!

The switch of wedding wands from being Bgztlian to being Titanian is one of the lesser known retcons of the Bierbaums!

Hmmm, okay, don't think anyone's used this one yet:
Which Adventure-era Legionnaire(s) was/were still active, participating members of the team when the Legion disbanded during the 5-Year Gap?
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Bouncing Boy: try to take over the United Planets!!"
They're B.B. and The Brain ...

Nope, Gim Allon was the only one who stuck it out to the bitter end.
Over to EDE.

According to Who's Who in the DCU, Vi is 5'2" at normal height, which beat Brek's 5'5".
So you're up, Quis.

Goodness, goodness, goodness.
I doubt I can come up with a question that will be challenging, but here goes.
OK I think I know the correct answer.
Name all the Legionnaires who attended the Legion Academy before becoming Legionnaires.

Timber Wolf
Chemical King
Tellus
Magnetic Kid
...and some people list Nightwind, Lamprey and Crystal Kid as five-year-gap members, but I don't recall supporting evidence.
The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

Those are the ones I was thinking of.
And my knowledge of five-year gap members is pretty much non-existent.
Your question, Kent.

Wasn't Dawnstar in the Academy?
(And my understanding is that Nightwind and Crystal Kid were Legionnaires in the Five Year Gap, but not Lamprey.)

IIRC, Dawnstar visited the Academy after she was a full member.
