I never liked Superman's "Great Rao" saying - I mean geesh, he was raised a farmboy in Kansas, and now all of a sudden he's a born-again-kryptonian in his other identity? Seemed like he was trying too hard to embrace his heritage.

[Wrightson fan]

"By the Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth" blows quite a bit of wind too.

That's the same reason I picked "Flame on"

 

One day I decided to do that. Everywhere I went I said "________ on" for whatever I was doing. So it was "Pants on", "Light on", "Car on", and on and on and on. My wife and son hated me that day. Sometimes things are more funny in your head than in actuality.
