Last week I posted a picture of myself gone Parallax-style with the Blackest Night power rings. Turns out Bobby Bowden, retiring head football coach of the Florida State Seminoles, had to go and one-up me.

My thanks to Serv and the folks over at THE UNIQUE GEEK listserv for starting this topic. In fact, the gang has been coming up with oaths for Parallax Bobby (a.k.a. The Garnet Lantern) to recite when charging his rings:

From Ravenface:

Despite The Swamp and three Wide Rights

We’ll set the flaming spear alight!

Let those who vote in polls with spite…

Count my dadgum conference titles!

I’m Bobby fuckin’ Bowden

From Terry:

Through hurricane, through dirty Hogtown

For 33 seasons, I’ve been around

To those who would deface my crown,

St. Bobby’s barbarians will take you down…

Dadgummit!

Here’s mine:

Brightest sun or stadium light,

Those other teams have run in fright.

The Seminoles are gonna fight,

To uphold his honor… Bobby’s might!

Here is the Emerald Twilight Hal Jordan image with all the rings for reference again.
