Flush Man!

Is he a super-plumber? A man with the proportionate strength and speed of a toilet? Some sort of alien-toilet hybrid? No my friends, no, he is none of those things. He is …

The Flash!

It seems that down in South America The Flash is known as Flush Man. Really! He is!

I don’t know how that translates, and I don’t care. I could google it but why ruin the funny? FLUSH MAN!

The only problem is, they have it wrong. THIS is FLUSH MAN:

Dan Dan the City Wide Man

Dan Dan the City Wide Man

I’m… FLUSH MAN!

Really, I can’t enough. So in that spirit, I present to you the Dan Dan the City Wide Man commercial that aired all over the place on Long Island a few years ago. Seriously (I mean this, seriously) the jingle was so catchy I’d catch myself singing it all the time.

He’s smart!
He’s neat!
He’s fast!
He’s economical!

The only problem is, if you go to the website today, there are a bunch of other City Wide Dudes, but no Dan. I think the JLA kicked him out.

The Treasure Chest of Terrible Toys: The Justice Jogger

superman-logo-012LOOK! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… it’s… probably just a bird or a plane. So where’s Superman? Lex Luthor has just stolen the Fregosi Emerald (get it?) and he’s making his getaway down Bates Avenue! Someone has to stop him!

Oh, wait a minute, here comes Superman, reclining in an easy chair and drinking a nice warm cup of tea. He’s wearing a cardigan and slippers. Huh? How does he ever expect to catch Luthor now?

Oh, catch him he shall. For superman is taking it easy today, sitting back and catching up on some reading while persuing evil in his JUSTICE JOGGER!

Yes, for those days when leaping tall buildings in a single bound just sounds like too much effort, and flying at supersonic speed is a lot of work, Superman whips out his JUSTICE JOGGER and chases the bad guys at a nice and sedate, moderate rate of speed.

And hey- power stepping action! No longer will medium-sized rocks stand between Superman and rounding up the Royal Flush Gang. It even has a sun roof!

This looks like so much fun! Doesn't it? DOESN'T IT???

Wow- that sun roof is windup powered! And can you believe that the package says that Superman could catch Darkseid in that? Whoa, is there anything the Justice Jogger can’t do? Probably catch Darkseid, for one thing.

This one broke down when Cyborg took it to Detroit and it was stripped for parts by a gang.
