Knowledge is Power.

Now that Thomas knows Hal’s alter ego, he has a request.
The guy really wanted a mind-wipe, and I can’t blame him. Still, Hal reassures him.
“Sure, you’ll be a target, but I’m okay with that!”
Also, a note on “great fish hooks” – this would become “jumping fish hooks”.
Because y’know, that’s so much better.

“And you’ll be the only one in the world to know it…. till the New York Taxi driver comes into the picture and I join the Justice League and you publish your book….”

“Because everybody knows that jumping fishes are way cooler than merely great fishes…”
Sincerely,
Gollum.

Naryldor-shouldn’t that be “jumping fisheses are way cooler than merely great fisheses”? BTW, if some jerk kept calling me by an ethnic slur and I knew his secret identity, it wouldn’t be a secret for very long.

“Hey, since you’re not wiping my mind, can you give me a power-ring lift home? Oh, and I’m moving on the 10th, can’t you power-ring my stuff to the new place? Oh, and my furnace’s pilot light went out. Can you power-ring that for me? And since you’re in there….” *mindwipe*

All the Batman and Robin jokes makes me wonder what kinky things Hal might have mindwiped away.

“No, Hal, you don’t understand. I don’t want to forget your secret identity; I want to forget your *whole* identity. I’m getting the fuck out of Dodge, and I’d rather not have any memories of your lame white-boy ass clogging up my grey matter, dig?”

Why can’t Hal wipe out my memory of his arse?

Is “Pieface” an ethnic slur? Or is it just a free-range insult like “Potatohead” or”Lumpy”?
Either way, Hal has obviously never done the Dale Carnegie course.

MacQuarrie:
It’s an ethnic slur in this case cuz Thomas is an Eskimo and it was a play on Eskimo Pie. In New Frontier he’s offended when GL calls him Pieface.

Tom *asks* for the mind-wipe? Wow, talk about battered wife syndrome….

Wait, how does Thomas know that the power ring can do mind-wipes?

Doc:
He doesn’t actually SAY “mind wipe”. He SAYS “knock the knowledge out of my head”.
Which, given Hal’s Silver Age proclivities, suggests the Big Green Glowing Mallet of Laser-Guided Amnesia.

Potatohead IS an ethnic slur. For the Irish.

Someone called me a stupid, ugly, smelly git once. I took it to be an ethnic slur. Please don’t spoil it for me.

No, no, no. “Great Fishhook’s Ghost!”
