Back in the '80s, they'd removed the Torch from the Statue of Liberty for refurbishing and cleaning, and sent it "on tour" around the country. I believe it appeared in the Rose Parade that year.

I seriously wanted to run a CHAMPIONS scenario around that, but never got the chance.

"Good Lord! *choke!* The Atomic Playboy's used his matter manipulating power to turn the Torch of Liberty into a flaming tiki torch of destruction!"

Wow, this thing writes itself, Athelind. :)

Personally I just want to be in New York to see it..Well that and Spamalot.. but maybe that's a poor reflection on me.
