Just make sure to stay hydrated. Fashion is swell, but it's not worth dying for.

A particularly dull Aquaman issue awaits...

A particularly dull Aquaman issue awaits... Any random Geoff Johns Aquaman issue would fit the criteria.

I hope the same isn’t true about issues featuring Aquaman’a trident ...

"Trident" was a popular North American brand of chewing gum when I was a kid.

Cultural missteps: liking N American gum in a protest against the UK submarine missile programme of the same name.
It's easily done, as I found to my cost after falling foul of the Yugoslavian Cuddly Kitten counterinsurgency operation.

I loved to chew gum until I got TMJ.  Of course two insurers ago they made some noise about helping me get therapy for that, but of course it turned out that my plan wouldn't cover that.

More of a linguistic misstep rather than cultural was when they tried to market/sell the Chevy Nova in Mexico. Yes I would buy a car called “ no go”

Peugeot translates to prostitute in Southern China. I guess their cars will go, but only for money.

"There They Go-Go-Go!" is the title of one of the classic Road Runner/Wile E. Coyote cartoons.

The Go-Go's developed a decent UK following when they supported Madness on tour.

The Go-Go's developed a decent UK following when they supported Madness on tour. That tour took the Go-Go's career...ONE STEP BEYOND!  Fun Fact: Jane Wieldlin had a brief but passionate affair with Fun Boy Three frontman Terry Hall. "Our Lips Are Sealed" is about them.

I feel like the Aquanettas could've done as well as The Go-Gos, with better management.
I still have a soft spot for "Pictures Of Italy" and "Connecting Line" 30 years later.

I honestly never heard of the Aquanettas.
I'll see if I can find any of their songs online.
Thanks, Cleome.

Terry Hall was involved in some of the best Lightning Seeds songs, and the Lightning Seeds supported Madness on a tour a few years back!

Ian Broudie is great unsung hero of the Liverpool post-punk scene.
