OR; rollerskates are the next big thing. I'll bet in like six months, Marvel will have like Dazzler and Iron Man an' all of them ridin' on rollerskates
Hostess Fruit Pies are the next big thing. I'll bet in like, six months DC will have like, Flash an' Batman an' all of them tossing them to the bad guys to stop them from committin' crimes an' stuff.
And they'll be all extreme, wearing their caps sideways, drinking Surge, breakdancing, listening to New Kids... Jesus, did guy just step through a wormhole from 1990?
Zounds, fellows! I say, this new-fangled velocipede is the cat's pajamas! Our heroes such as Hourman, Woozy Winks, and Bartholomew the Bouncing Bananza shan't be able to resist!
@Josh- That actually sounds like something that would've popped up in Tom Peyer's Hourman series. Too bad they had to kill him off because Geoff John's has such a hard-on for the 80s....
Oh, shoot ... he's not wrong:

Exercise is the next big thing. I'll bet in like six months, you'll see, like, the Flash using a treadmill.

ReplyDeleteA skateboard would just slow the Flash down. That would defeat the purpose.
ReplyDeleteNah, they'll all be riding Segways.
ReplyDeleteDid we just travel back in time to the 80's or something?

ReplyDeleteIt's true what they say, those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.
ReplyDeleteHula Hoops are the next big thing. I'll bet in like, six months DC will have like, Flash an' Batman an' all of them capturing bad guys with 'em.
ReplyDeleteMoon Shoes are the next big thing. I'll bet in like, six months DC will have like, Flash an' Batman an' all them hopping around on them.

The Dark Knight Rises better have Batman on a skateboard or else I'm gonna be fucking pissed.
ReplyDeleteBruce Wayne sits, contemplating. "Criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot... I must become a terrible creature... a... a..."
ReplyDeleteAs if an answer, a douchie kid on his skateboard rides past the open window!
Bruce Wayne gasps. "A skateboarder! That's it! It's an omen! I shall become a skateboarder!"
OMG he's a time traveler!!
ReplyDeleteSkateboards? Imagine how excited this guy will be when he finds out about prostitutes.
ReplyDeleteI'm tellin' ya! Everyone's gonna be skateboarding with their yo-yos and their Crystal Pepsi before they go to play pogs! Ya know... In the future.
ReplyDeleteHey, kids, skateboards were invented and were a huge fad in the '60s. These things go in cycles.
ReplyDeleteI think I heard this same prediction back in the 70s.
ReplyDeleteWas I the only one who thought of the late, great, Dwayne McDuffie's "Teenage Negro Ninja Thrashers" pitch when I read this?
ReplyDeletePedal Carts are the next big thing. I'll bet in like, six months DC will have like, Flash an' Batman an' all them riding around on them.
ReplyDeleteMatt, I'm not going to lie, that was the first thing I thought of. Then I thought of Static Shock and I got sad.
ReplyDeleteNight Thrasher? Like that horrible idiot from the New Warriors?

ReplyDelete@Josh I love you! :)
