Funny, looking at the menu...its basically like most regular bars/restuarants here. Are the dishes on this menu quite common or is this type of food a novelty?

 

[Surfer]

Lol, no, they are named after him. He's on the logo.

One in each of Cork, Dublin and Tallaght, I think.

I suddenly have an overwhelming urge to go to Ireland

Thanks Shivsguy616 for sharing, this place looks awesome.

It's pretty normal food. It's basically dressed up to be "American diner-ish", hence theres no dirth of burgers or steaks. For a comparison, most restaurants here tend to have more options like pastas and curries. So, its a limited menu, to stick to the style of the place, but I wouldn't call it a novelty.

Thing is, you could wrap Cap in the flag of any western country and he's still work as a character. Wait a minute...that's already been done.

Came across this video by a Danish band called D-A-D once. Not sure where they are playing here...but it isn't the US. The bass player is dressed as Capt America.

Thanks for that...not everyday you get to see Cap jamming out. t:

I'd say most people my age in the UK know Captain America from the 90's Spider-Man cartoon.

I think YOU mean... wait... um, no... just no.

 

[Shivsguy616]

Or perhaps you meant this piece of shamefully idiotic propaganda! Just... awful.

Hey! I remember an ish when Steve actually wore the Union Jack! (Brian and Steve got switched for some reason....I'll have to go back and look.)

 

[Vartha]

don't forget Captain Cunuk (sp?)

Thing is, you could wrap Cap in the flag of any western country and he's still work as a character. Wait a minute...that's already been done.

Ah, my boy Guardian. How I wish he had been utilized better. BB, did you ever seethat CG model of Captain Britain someone posted around this board somewhere? It was pure badassery.

 

[Deaths Head II]

I always wondered why they never changed his name to Captain Canada. His original name was Vindicator and they changed that, so why not go with something more appropriate and original? Hey, it's even alliterative!

 

[Rage]

There is already a really bad character called Captain Canuck... he's been around since I was a kid.

How could you compete with John Byrne's design for Vindicator/Guardian?

 

[SuperFerret]

Best...costume...ever......t:

Actually, the Union Jack was incorporated far better in this costume.

 

[The Question]

I think YOU mean... wait... um, no... just no.

I co-created an Ireland themed super hero for a webcomic once. His name was "Captain ****-You-Britain." He was an alcoholic soccer hooligan who wore an Irish flag as a bandana/mask, a kevlar vest, and carried around a titanium baseball bad. I believe he was living in the U.S. to avoid Irish authorities.

Actually he was Guardian then his wife became Vindicator then he came back and became Vindicator and I think he is back as Guardian and his wife is back as Vindicator.

 

[Rage]

Actually, he was Vindicator first... in his first appearance in X-men. When Alpha Flight got their own comic... he changed his handle to Guardian then.

I still have a bunch of those.

 

[Deaths Head II]

Yeah, he was Vindicator first. I was aware of Captain Canuck, but that name still isn't Captain Canada. Marvel needs to run and grab that copyright before it's too late.

 

[Rage]

I remember getting the first and second issue back in the early 80s... at that time, I was thinking he was a pretty cool character.

That's right I had forgotten about the Xmen issues. I actually own 121.
