Superfriends
so I was with friends asking them if they remember the Superfriends cartoon and the answer was a resounding No. One girl was from Berlin, another Amsterdam, and Miss Yonkers was too young to have caught it. So here I am, the only one with a reference to the Hall of Justice, carrying on about how cool it was for Wonder Woman to team up with Aquaman or some shit when one of them said, "What if we were superheroes?"
I think it was Miss Amsterdam. She continued, "I could wear a leopard cat suit and have long nails like Wolverwine!" ('cause she gets em done by Chinese girls at the local nail shop).
Then Miss Yonkers said, "And I would be the one who breaks everything!" ('cause she flies into walls).
And Miss Berlin said, "And I could be the one that's like, 'umm maybe I don't go. I'm scared my cape won't work.'"
And I was like, "Hmm .. I would just narrate the whole thing: Here comes Miss Amsterdam, she's got the look but none of the power. And, wait, is that Miss Yonkers on crutches? I think it is. But where is Miss Berlin? Has anyone seen her? What? Under the table in the broom closet back at the Hall of Justice?"
Not quite the way I remember the show but fuck it, I ain't got no invisible jet, no magic lasso, no—what was it—a boomerang headband?
But you better believe I can talk em into complete and total submission.
