How Cool Is This?

So, I was driving over to the hospital to see crazynurse.

I was sitting in traffic, waiting for a light to change.

It was a long and tight line of traffic.

Then I see a true vision before me.

Coming straight towards me. He was moving. I wasn't.

I could not struggle my phone out of my pocket fast enough.

So I only have a memory.

Of seeing ...

The Batmobile.

The real one. Engines to power, turbines to speed and all that.

I swear I could hear the music in my head.

It gleamed, both actually, and with the bright glow of childhood memories.

Actually, it was even cooler than the time I saw the Wienermobile up on 202.

I didn't have any room to turn around to try to follow him.

TV ... sorry, thought I'd made that clear.

I thought the "engines to power, turbines to speed" was the clue.

It's been a few decades since I've seen it. Can't remember the dialog all that well. Just "same bat time, same bat channel."
infinite monkey • Sep 14, 2011 3:45 pm
What about "POW" and "BAM"??????????
glatt • Sep 14, 2011 3:48 pm
Yeah, sure. But that wasn't really dialog. I mean, that was visual effects and sound effects/music.
infinite monkey • Sep 14, 2011 3:51 pm
True.

My joke got POW'd and BAM'd!
glatt • Sep 14, 2011 3:54 pm
Sorry. I got your joke, I'm just still feeling a bit self conscious that I didn't recognize that "turbines to speed" quote. What's wrong with me? I should know that.

Meh. I should be able to tell by now what's wrong with me too.
Maybe JBKlyde could add some perspective...?

*snicker*

No, glatt, my joke was FITTINGLY POW'd and BAM'd. :lol:

I didn't recognize the quote either, and I know I watched me some serious Batman!

Sundae, I nominate you to PM JBK and ask for his advice on the matter. ;)

He said something about the blod of teh Lord.
I think he meant custard. It goes with apple pie anyway.

I cannot believe so many people got that quote wrong!
It's not "Engines to power, turbines to speed"

It is "Atomic Batteries to power, turbines to speed"!!!!

I stand corrected.

I was still in the awe of the experience.
