As a small child, I was a fan of the later seasons of "Alice." I actually didn't find out until much later that there had been other waitresses before Jolene. I was too young for the "Flo Years" of that show.

I wonder if Flo from Diner Dash is based on Flo “Kiss my grits” from the tv show “Alice”.

Diner Dash had the same engine as an X-Com type game called Xenonauts. Really? I have played Xenonauts (inspired by the original X-COM) but not Diner Dash.

I've not played Diner Dash either. But at its heart was an engine that one of the early Xenonauts devs used, according to its forums.

I haven't played Xenonauts. Should look into it. They're looking release a more polished Xenonauts 2 soonish. The first one has nice Cold War era art to help get into the setting. Its worth playing without waiting.

Did the Xenonauts ever visit a utopia named...Xenadu? A place where nobody dared to go The aliens that we came to know They call it Xenadu And now, open your eyes and see that the Earth's in flames We are in Xenadu A million lights are dancing and you are, a shooting star Shot from orbit and you're now here with me, eternally Xenadu, Xenadu (Now we are here) in Xenadu

I want to go where everybody knows my name and they are always glad I came. Where people know that people are all the same.

Making your way in the world today takes everything you got. Taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot. Wouldn't you like to get away?

I like the idea of there being various rival organizations to the GLC, but kind of despise the whole "emotional spectrum" concept.

All these organisations scooted across the universe for centuries, before Greta IV's 26th century discovery that their energy trails were directly responsible for a collapsing universe.

I thought the emotional spectrum was interesting, but after a while I got tired of following all the seven Corps.

I am catching up on the current volume of Justice league which has a whole lot of Snyder weird stuff but one is a new corps, variously called the Unseen/Invisible/Ultra-violet Corps. Apparently it lives off primal urges or some such rubbish and is powered by a (wait for it) sentient ultra-violet sun that captures planets with the deepest darkest urges and adds them to it's "galaxy", so of course it has come for Earth. Although I agree that the emotional spectrum was an interesting idea but perhaps became overdone, compared to this tale Geoff Johns additions are a stroke of genius.

They never have connected Rainbow Raider to the emotional spectrum, have they?
That seemed like an obvious move.

Good old Roy H Bivolo. His other identity could have been Mnemonic Man.

I'm learning Dutch now, and a very important mnemonic is Soft Ketchup.

"The Ketchup Song (Asereje)" by Las Ketchup, a novelty radio hit from the 2000s, is a guilty pleasure of mine.
