With that, have fun!

foolish! cool post.

I think 2 down needs another letter. I've basically got it except for the Joker's Daughter and the Infomercial product (I vaguely remember the scene, but can't remember what he was hawking).

Wasn't that called "Smilex?"

Anybody remember a Superman story, circa '62, '63, called "The Night Of March 31st"?

Thanks for catching the error, Pat. It's fixed now.

zub- Yeah....I think I've got that issue. Wacky hijinks galore.
